Leonard Cohen Who By Fire, Pagan Flair By Mistress Reba

[Megan0ann]

You mentioned in the info wanting to know about the basis of this song - it's based on Unetanneh Tokef, a Jewish piyyut or liturgical poem. It's part of the liturgy for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

mistressreba, you i must say are talented for putting this slideshow together but the obama thing is kind of racist.

[MistressReba]

I don't get the racist thing, this vid was so hard to put together timing & images meshing.

I Voted Obama, 1st time in my life I Voted Democrat. Also my grand baby is half black, so the racist thing confuses me?

Obama was put in for as GREAT ASCENT and was doubled in time to stay there.

ASCENT

1. the act of ascending, rising, or climbing 2. an advancement, as in rank, fame, etc. 3. the act of climbing something; "it was a difficult climb to the top" a way leading up; upward slope

Please come explain the racist part, as I really do not get it. I am NOT a racist, by far to the contrary.

Also I added some annotations to this Video where Barack Obama's Photos is. OBAMA 08 Oh how Happy I am that I have seen it in my lifetime :)

'silentblade' that is such a bizarre take on reba's beautiful video- in no way could her inclusion of Obama be seen as anything less than supportive and celebratory. It's interesting how people's personal perspectives can put a slant on things. I hope her explanation demonstrates to you her good intentions and perhaps you owe her an apology!

peace.

@silentblade121, Racist ? Here the USA has as a first octaroon president of the corporation + MistressReba clearly stated that she herself was accordingly deluded

- how then reading are you reading racisticality into Mr. Cohen's fine stuff about the inevitable?

i dont care for any thing just that leonard is the ever best and this song is for ever the best that he have done

[zeit23geist]

So much ink has been spilt trying to explain Magick; but really only images and music and a few well chosen words (poetry) can ever express what is essentially unexpressable: like fetish, suffering, God, sexual pleasure, love, the sunrise - and the fact that all these can be said in one breath!

[MistressReba]

This comment I just now saw from you is not only true and profound,it is prose Z, how about reciting it :-)

[zeit23geist]

This will be done.

[zeit23geist]

simply awesome; five stars from me; really, really good!

[MistressReba]

Thank you zeitgeist! So glad you appreciated it, I tell you this one was hard to *time* but all worth the best effort I could put forth.

Hope you are well and so nice that you stopped by, watched, and commented. As always your friend across THE BIG POND ;) Mistress Reba~
