Live In Concert from NPR's All Songs Considered Folgen

In February 2009, Leonard Cohen played his first U.S. concert in 15 years. Just a few weeks later, inspired by Leonard Cohen's resurgence, a group of artists at the South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, TX paid tribute to the legendary singer by performing some of his songs. We start with "Here It Is" from the album 'Ten New Songs,' performed by the French folk duo Herman Dune. Like all of Leonard Cohen's work, the poetry is potent.

We often joke about how many people we can fit behind Bob Boilen's desk for one of NPR Music's Tiny Desk Concerts. Every month, we seem to push the boundary just a bit farther, as the bands get bigger and louder. But the first real test of our limits came when eight members of Dark Meat showed up to play.

This is the second of a two-part video featuring Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, the duo known as The Swell Season, performing live at the desk of All Songs Considered host Bob Boilen.
