Questioned about his musical roots and influences, Nitze replies: "I grew up listening to "This Mortal Coil". David Sylvian's songs have always been a part of my life to the present day. Robert Smith was like my "guitar teacher". I think "A Forest" was the first piece I played on the guitar. For me Ivo Watts Russell is one of the greatest innovators in the music industry. And in my view these archetypal albums were all created under his direction. In other words what we today call 4AD. The Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coil, Dead can Dance, Clan of Xymox... These are albums that aren't hyped much but everyone knows them. If they hadn't existed, the music world would have been a much poorer place. I'm especially thinking of albums like "Sleep With The Fishes". This influenced me a great deal.
On "almost forgotten tales" Nitze sets three poems by Dylan Thomas to music; he explains why: "It is the sense of the absurd in his writing. His writing is a true source of inspiration to me. Jon Cale was the one who first introduced me to Thomas. I devoured everything he wrote. "Being But Men" is all about how simple it is to feel happiness. Something that we knew all about as children. It's so simple... but we've forgotten how to do it. This is not a new idea. But nobody has captured the essence of it like Thomas." so Nitze.

傷だらけでも恐れない
何度だって立ち向かう
この BIG CITY
後戻りはしたくない
飲み込まれても染まらない
自分なりに生きるんだ この街で
20代半ば ついに旅立ち
夜行列車に飛び乗って
揺られ着いた先
そこは 地元に別れを告げてまで
選んだ"街"
すべてがでけぇでけぇ!
やっぱり凄ぇ凄ぇ!
ビルも高ぇ高ぇ!
でも俺小せぇ小せぇ
けど、大都会東京
悪いけどお前には絶対負けないぜ
掲げた目標
叶えてでっかくなって帰るまで!!
誰にも邪魔させない
傷だらけでも恐れない
何度だって立ち向かう
この BIG CITY
後戻りはしたくない
飲み込まれても染まらない
自分なりに生きるんだ この街で
でっかい絵 描いて 目指せ 世界へ
正解なんて そうないぜ
選んで やるだけ
準備が整うことはないから
つべこべ言わずにまず行動
忘れ物なんて後でいいから
ちまちまやらずに次いこうよ
失敗しないように じゃなくて
失敗じゃなかったって思えるように
生きて行けばいい Right?
過去に Thank You そしてグッバイ
誰にも邪魔させない
傷だらけでも恐れない
何度だって立ち向かう
この BIG CITY
後戻りはしたくない
飲み込まれても染まらない
自分なりに生きるんだ この街で
風に指を かざして歩く
自分の道は 心の中に
誰にも邪魔させない
傷だらけでも恐れない
何度だって立ち向かう
この BIG CITY
後戻りはしたくない
飲み込まれても染まらない
自分なりに生きるんだ この街で

Who is this guy! He has so much energy and is so inspirational. All of your workouts are good, but this, honestly, was one of the best I've done in a long time. It had everything in it, and I felt like I was really giving my body an awesome workout. I'm saving this to work out again and again. Please keep these kind of workouts coming!

@datnohi8612
You took the words out of my mouth, what an experience he is, I been doing Leslie's workouts from when she started on VHS lol and I have the toned up legs to proof it, and I must say this is got to be one of my favorites...keep it up Leslie. I love your workouts but I also love how your willing to share the spotlight and give others a chance, fan for life
@kathrynpaczak3099
@@datnohi8612 Wow. I started with a 4-pack of DVD's I picked up at Target. Now I'm mostly on my phone, which is great because I can be anywhere. In my house, outside on my deck, in a local park, out in my hotel room when we travel. No matter where it is, or what the source is, I love these workouts. They've reinforced my intent to stay healthy and live a long life.
