Re: "Eye of the camp" line in "Amen"?
I think this song deserves to be 'discovered' and become a classic. This idea was of interest to me and could give us the nut of the meaning in question, from here a lot more may unfold, but it is unlikely that guesses which don't have access to the vast cultural study that Leonard undertook, will b...

Re: As The Mist Leaves No Scar
I just came upon this in an article written by Leonard's Rabbi. Perhaps it fits here. "One night when we had them over, Leonard asked Anjani to sing from “Blue Alert.” Anjani sat at our baby grand, Leonard across from her softly singing along with a beatific look on his face. Meirav and I barel...

Re: HAPPY 82nd BIRTHDAY LEONARD!!
Hallelujah! Another birthday. This snippet from a review just to hand ... "For the past 25 years I've had this notion that on every successive Leonard Cohen record his voice would get deeper and deeper until one day he'd put out an album so subsonic that you'd just feel it, not hear it. Well, w...

Re: FROM LEONARD: HAPPENS TO THE HEART
What a gift.
Thanks for all you do to make this a space where Leonard is moved to share such a thing.

Re: The Re-Tooling of Speaking Cohen
Hi Marie. Such sad news about your site. I notice the link you posted to the 'extortion letter' article is from 2011. This looks like the scam is still going on and there is a relatively recent piece on it here from someone else in the same situation. Hope it helps. http://www.hackerfactor.com/blog/...

Re: To A Teacher
I love this.
I quite like the whole album. It took a while though.
Singing, schminging.

Re: Popular Problems - First Impressions
I love the change in backing on this album. It sets it apart and if we are lucky we may get to see the old lineup on Tour for their version. I would go further than alb123, I wonder why he has chosen this set of musicians instead of the touring band. Maybe there are contractual difficulties but the ...

Re: Official lyrics of Popular Problems
Lots of wrong lyrics posted online so nice to see the official ones posted here. Born in Chains is a classic case in point, with many errors showing up. On the Lemon trees blossom, almond trees wither... this is a lovely lovely line to show the passage of time. Lemons setting their buds in early win...

Sun makes perfect sense if the original concept is to do with unrelenting rain. "Was our prayer so damn unworthy The sun rejected it?" The official lyrics are: "Was our prayer so damn unworthy The Son rejected it?" http://www.leonardcohenfiles.com/popularproblems.html#113 I think...

A very cheeky switch on the usual "moment on your lips and lifetime on your thighs" warning to women about eating sweets!

Re: Pronunciation of the word 'intimate' in 'Nevermind'?
Delicious ambiguity.
That's part of what we love about Leonard.
Always a mystery.
