Already Dead

A beautiful poem by Thich Nhat Hanh.  Various versions are available out there, but none that I found were both musical and contained the entirety of the text.

I decided to create my own "remix" of a spoken word version and a sung section.

You may also be interested in the version from <a href="http://www.parallax.org/cgi-bin/shopper.cgi?preadd=action&key=BOOKBOPCD">the songbook</a> "A Basket of Plums":

Words by Thich Nhat Hanh
Vocals by Sister Chân Không
Spoken Word by Cathy Preston (Loreleila)
Throat Singing / Invocation by PRANA
Mix/Production by Jonathan Cook (.HTM)
