Thanks for posting! And yes, there are some anomalies but you can still get the general gist of it. This statement appears really clear to understand! Will there be more albums? "No, that's all. That's all that's left. There's no more. It's not another death album, when usually someone tries to make...

Ah Hartmut, now you’ve said that it surely does remind me of many happy and frustrating times we all had years ago when we played a certain game about matching images to LC’s lines .... Seems its essence still lives within me

Hartmut, great idea! .... and that file will never really be complete ;-) I was just about to post this separately and as last time for September 21, 1934 - I thought if you don't mind I would join you again :) LC - OBM: I didn’t know if I wanted to formally acknowledge this and resisted as much as ...

John, I thought you might like to connect your findings to the info here - https://www.leonardcohenforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=37710

Hi Weilin, Thanks for thinking of me but I did read that info about Slow when it first came out and again yesterday as well when I was looking for more specific info on Happens To The Heart :) And most interesting is that The Files do now in fact show exactly the same words as The Flame – it would a...

I guess the lyric version is much older than the poem. In a Sep 14, 2014 article of Rolling Stone: WiTS, That does make sense and you probably know that two of the poem lines vary even though both versions (The Files and The Flame) have the same date on them. It does make you wonder what was writte...

Well, it would appear we have all done what we can to find this line. It still would be great to listen to that CBC interview - Audience from 1979. Maybe someone will come across it and let us know. I thought I'd mention that the song What Happens To The Heart just released from the new album has re...

Hi there! Thanks so much - I’m now pretty sure this line of poetry has never materialised in any of Cohen’s published works, but if you have other information I would love to know it! The interview extract, I have learned, is from a CBC interview conducted in 1979, for a program called Audience. Hi...

Ah, Candleburn,
I was about to reply to your request but I now see you could no longer be requiring it!
It would be nice to know if you are still interested or maybe you have already answered your own question

Marie, thanks for posting the video I hadn’t seen it before.

Thanks 4! It seems so long ago when I did that .... ha! and it was :) btw - First play of this album those two songs I've previously mentioned appealed to me most. Since then I've played it quite a few times and it seems to be one of those albums that needs to be heard in totality because it takes y...
