Here’s a better quality video of Romany and myself playing Leonard Cohen’s If It Be Your Will from last night’s Von Trapped Family live stream (you can see the full thing on @pollysamson’s YouTube at https://t.co/cZAdWNMcwG). Thanks to everyone who watched it. pic.twitter.com/Of5KngMhFl

Last week’s broadcast had him playing Cohen’s “So Long, Marianne” and “Bird On The Wire,” as Rolling Stone reports, and this week’s saw him playing “Hey, That’s No Way To Say Goodbye” and the deep cut “Fingerprints,” off Cohen’s 1977 album Death Of A Ladies Man. All of those songs are loosely tied to when Cohen lived on Hydra.
“Fingerprints” is at 15m45s in the first video below, and “Goodbye” is at 32m30s. “Bird” is at 7m46s in the second video, and “Marianne” is at 30m08s.

DIE GILMOURS IM LOCKDOWN
Polly Samson, David Gilmour`s Wife: Our appearance to discuss A Theatre For Dreamers and lockdown culture with Mary Beard, on BBC Front Row Late on Thursday 14 May, 2020. Also includes David and Romany’s performance of Leonard Cohen’s ‚So Long, Marianne‘.
David Gilmour sang den Leonard Cohen Song „So Long Marianne“, an der Harfe war Romany. Die Moderatorin Mary Beard fragte zuvor noch nach Dabid Gilmours Beziehung zu Leonard Cohen:
David Gilmour: I became a fan very early on. I love his work. This last couple of years with dolly, going to hydra, has freshened him up enormously in my mind.
Polly Samson: (Lacht) Er hat in den letzten Jahren nichts anderes als Leonard Cohen gehört!
David Gilmour: And he got better and better. There are songs all through his career which are so brilliant.
Mary Beard: Gibt es einen Song abgesehen von“Marianne“, den du besonders hervorheben würdest!
David Gilmour: It’s just too many brillant songs. From the very last album that just came out „Thanks for the Dance“ is just a lovley Song. There is a Song called „Going Home“ there are just to many gorgeous songs. If it be your Will. There so many things where he tends towards religious overtones in some other things he does but didn’t claim to believe really in a god.
Mary Beard: One of my friends said it would be king of nice to hear Leonard Cohen singing Wish You Were Here, wouldn’t it?
David Gilmour: To late for that I think!
