" Ring the bells that still can ring, forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in " This is what I'M saying!
I think this is Cohen's best song lyrically. And one in which his vocals, however imperfect, can't be better performed. Honest and stinging and ... all his major qualities except humorous, which he is also.
@spindatish exactly... and we'll never see Bush and his buddies be taken to the International Court of Justice in The Hague... or the truth behind 9/11 or someone of significant influence speak in mainstream media about why the West needs to control so badly the Middle-East region (Russia's borders), or why the Bilderberg Group is allowed to keep their discussions to themselves.
But let's hope Internet win's.. as long as people like Assange are allowed freedom to expose crimes.
shocked to see my favorite place (whitsand Bay) set to my favorite singer! great video!

@wheresthesea I’m glad you like it.
It’s a breathtaking place, and UK has loads of amazing sceneries, as for the singer hi’s “timeless and unique”.

"Through which the light gets in" would've been better though. :/

@Carlibengarli Ah, the overall message of it wouldn't change though. fair point though

Certainly not, but being the master lyricist/poet that he is, I'm amazed he didn't see that line coming. It seems kind'a close in hand. :P
Fantastic lyrics though! :)
