Seems like this song was written while travelling through the Holy Land. A lot of references to Jesus. Great tune.
Leonard ... your soul is so beautiful ... thank you for sharing it ...
Just got the album, Old Idea today! You can listen to "Show Me" and make sure you listen to "Darkness!"
Shockingly powerful. Reminds me of the narration for Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Marvelous!
Can never get enough Leonard Cohen! This is such an amazing song. Can't wait for the new album "Old Ideas" on 1/31
Young and old love Cohen. His music is unstoppable. So very excited for "Old Ideas"!!!
Indeed:
The place where the word became a man
is the place where the suffering began
the beginning of patriarchy with male gods
Can hardly wait for cd to arrive - thanks for these 2; beautiful!
this. is. amazing. i can't wait any longer for "old ideas." just four more days...
That line "...for my head is bending low" seems to refer to the mid-19th century American song "Old Black Joe" which is about a servant/slave who is dying. Coincidentally, that song was also referenced by two other Coens (Joel and Ethan) in their film about depressed writer "Barton Fink". Old Black Joe was re-popularized in the mid-20th century as "Poor Old Joe" by the blacklisted artist Paul Robeson.
Leonard, you are an incredibly talented and gifted man. How wonderful for the rest of us. I saw you in concert in Halifax and it was one of the highlights of my life. Live on.
ALL MY BEST WISHES FOR THE BIG AND THE ONLY ONE LEONARD COHEN! YOU MAKE ME CRY AND LAUGH, FEEL YOUR MUSIC HONEST AND PURE! NO WORDS ABOUT IT! ALL MY LOVE AND RESPECT!!!!!
Tellement émue par votre voix intense et profonde cher Leonard. Je vous écoute depuis tant d'années, ai appris vos chansons à d'autres, les ai chantées à la guitare... Merci pour ce cadeau offert sur Soundcloud. *✿* Merci pour tout ce bonheur musical partagé et vivement la sortie de votre prochain CD ♪(☀‿☀)♫.
