I saw Leonard Cohen in concert this past May in Waterbury, CT. They played this song and ever since then its become my favorite song. What a great jazzy tune - the sax player was phenomenal. Leonard ROCKS!!!
Bewildered by your beauty there, I kneeled to dry your feet, by such instruction you prepare, a man for boogie street, does anyone else get how deep that shit is? So come my friend, be not afraid, we are so lightly here, it is in love that we are made, in love we diseappear... though all the maps of blood and flesh are posted on the door, there no one who has told us yet, what Boogie street is for....
If you have ever lived or been to New Orleans, Booogie street is Bourbon street, a slimy stinky sleazy place to be, but it feels like home... Only those who have been there will understand, the stink of 350 years of piss and pussy permeates the air... and it feels like home...
Boogie strret is for all the heartbroken souls to go find themselves, no matter how long it takes, they can stay till they find what they need or die, whichever comes first...
Some years ago Cohen gave away all he owned och gave up his consumption life and moved to Tibet seeking for greater meaning and the truth way... Years later when he came back from his jurny he wrote this song among others on his Ten New Songs album. Every word weigh as gold...
No, Factional, he didn't move to Tibet. He entered the Zen monastery on Mt Baldy in California to be with his old friend Roshi. He didn't give away anything: his manager stole it from him while he was in the monastery.
And now he's touring Europe to get some money back... When I was at one of his concerts, I was looking out for a T-shirt saying something like 'I helped pay Leonard Cohen's finance bills' or something...
He actually cares little about money. When he went into the monastary (for quite a while) his manager who had power of attorney over his whole estate, ripped him off completely.
I mean cleaned him out and stole royalties, the whole 9yrds.
He had to do the tour to get back in control of his life......and even he was surprised at the responce......that's why it got continued, and will be repeated.
Good luck to him.........he deserves to have comfortable life.
I can't believe I never commented on this video. I just love it, it is perfect. The song is awesome and it fits so much with the content. Such sensibility is rare. Keep it on. I've also seen your new videos. Congratulations again.
Leonard is SO BRILLIANT, his brilliance is reflected in ALL his songs, but this one is extra special.
