His voice is surprisingly fitting for this Cohen classic. And the harmonies with his daughter are wonderful. Bravo.

[@jesusasecas]

I really love how Romany and David voices sound together.

[@TataMichal998]

I Love how David Gilmour and his daughter, Romany honour the Great songwriter, poet,singer Leonard Cohen, with such a perfect rendition of Marianne. Beautiful, thank you. I'm bound to be singing it over and over...and over!!lol.

[@daneangus8614]

You two are great! Thanks for all the wonderful music through the years.

[@asteroideb54]

chaque soir je m'endors en écoutant cette merveilleuse chanson Leonard Cohen.....thank you David

[@ianross5970]

David still sounds great and plays as easy as ever. The family and dog just made my evening. Thank you.

[@SteveGraves10]

Thank you so much Romany, David and Polly! What a treat during this dreadful time.

[@alanwyatt]

I could listen to an album of those harmonies and strings 🎶

[@Cooldrums777]

Romany and David together makes for beautiful harmony. Perhaps she has a touch of daddies gift. That would be lovely.

[@RUSH2012]

Polly congratulations ... very nice family ... I am a fan of David ... At this moment where the world is upside down these cute videos and messages make humanity happy :)

Absolutely beautiful, just love how the dog wanders about also, a dog makes a family. Thank you for uploading.

[@robertcronin6603]

This is simply phenomenal...I've been a lifelong appreciator of David's/Floyd's music - he inspired me as a guitarist and continues to inspire me...also a *huge* Cohen fan! Thanks *so* much for this.

[@zenpaganwarrior]

What a really wonderful interview, scene, setting, family, and performance of the Leonard Cohen classic! Thank you, Von Trapped family for sharing your art and beauty with all of us. Wishing you all many more years of happiness, from America. Cheers, and bravo!

[@PatrickAshe41]

Hearing one of my all-time favorite artists and his wonderful family covering one of my *other* all-time favorites is a special treat. And what a great tune! This exact song inspired a main character in my own fictional novel, Upon This Pale Hill.

[@bernlin2000]

Is it crazy to say that David is still a handsome man? Aging like a fine wine!

[@jeffjsmith]

I have just finished your book - the first I have read for years, and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it and was involved. I have a small number of musical loves, and they started with Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell. The backdrop that you have created has renewed my memories of those times and the music. And David has also created some of my most memorable musical moments, and still does with the newer albums - again with your words enhancing them. So, thanks so much for the book, the music and the entertainment in this lockdown. With love and best wishes...

[@vickigower8125]

You are a delight to listen to and watch. Thank you for sharing a small part of yourselves with us.

Dear David, if I were a woman I would have married with you! I listen your songs since I was 8 yo and after 30 years I've never been tired to listen again and again and again them! I love you so much, thanks for existing! (sorry for my bad English, but in Italy we never speak it!). Hug u strongly! Hi Polly!

[@guymadgesam24]

@Marcus Maclaine wrong roger :)

[@ArchFundy]

The world...or at least I would like to hear and see David and Roger sing together again. Even though you went your separate ways for 35 years, you still have that great body of work in common. Life is very short, and if you let it slip by, it can't be recaptured. Maybe a together/apart song for a Covid related charity, or for equipment for front line workers. You are getting old guys. Be at peace with each other and yourselves. Be well.

[@edcollins9377]

Let them sing together or play together, but never under the name Pink Floyd! No Pink Floyd without Rick Wright!

[@oxusblues6658]

Hello Dear Polly! PLEASE write the Biography of David! As a Journalist, Writer and Wife, with all the Ethics Passions and Love, you must do that. Noone will do it better than you. Thank you! 💙

Ooh, it can be titled "From the outside; in."

My favorite Leonard Cohen song. Great to hear them doing this. Romany, David and Polly sound beautiful together. It's easy to see who the most truly successful member of Pink Floyd turned out to be.

[@nectarinedreams7208]

That's up for debate.

[@ThaiThom]

​@@nectarinedreams7208 So you must think Nick Mason is more successful than David Gilmour, then. Nick does have a good band these days, but a good family is far better to have than that. David Gilmour has everything a man could want, and I am very happy for him.

Nicholas Johnson David is definitely one of a kind musician but so is roger, nobody can write a song like that man

[@stooge81]

as opposed to simply dying and not being able to enjoy his later years? he seems to be just fine and i'd bet he wouldn't want you to suffer any heartache over his aging. aging happens to the best...and luckiest...of us.
