Un galés por un galés


While the Argentine Flag was being raised on South Georgia, I was feverishly embarking on a comprehensive setting of the collected poems of Dylan Thomas. Each night I would sit with Alan Lanier in his apartment in New York City trashing from one poem to another with the tape running. By the end of the war I had arrived at "Lie Still, Sleep Becalmed" and it seemed that of the nine poems done in all four that felt all of a piece. The interludes came later, around the time of the preparation of the premiere in Amsterdam's Paradiso on Nov. 14 and 15, 1987.
John Cale, june 1989


John Cale escribió lo anterior para el librito del album: Words For The Dying de 1989, basado en la poesía de Dylan Thomas.
