I'm shocked to learn this is not a 100% original Leonard Cohen idea/framework,

Then you'd better not examine the background of "Alexandra Leaving" too closely ...

Yes, I was thinking of these lines with the swapped words as well yesterday.

In 1429 Jeanne d’Arc – Joan of Arc, the Maid of Orléans – does all sorts of interesting things. On 20 December 1908 she is beatified by Pope Pius X. And on 16 May 1920 canonised by Pope Benedict XV. Only 51 years later (1971) Leonard Cohen releases his song "Joan of Arc", which may have something to...

Thank you, holydove!

> Is that your musical composition behind it?

Yes, it is. I mean, the melody was obviously not written by me. But the arrangement, such as it is, is mine.

Thanks, Anny!

And a speedy recovery for Eija!

"I _can_ make the hills"?

Don't shoot the messenger;-). I know it's a typo error and a stupid one but it doesn't make the storylines with each song any less interesting!

No inconveniencing the messenger planned!
