Leonard Cohen's "Alexandra Leaving" ..
This is going back about 14 years or so, ...
Old vid footage shot in my house in the "Houston Height's"
It's nitpicky and a bit ghey of me to post this ... but the vid content was so tragically appropriate as an accompaniment to the audio ... and I could not help but publish it.
To the fine woman evident in said vid ...
Namaste, sister. Namaste.
Best.

Best video on youtube.
-
The footage, I think, is as deeply moving as the song, the poem behind the song, and the story behind the poem.
-
This might be the point of having youtube.com - but then again.... nah, this is beautiful, spoiled yet clean, thank you for making this.

Beautyful video.
Sixteen years...a lifetime ago.

@Wonderplant : simple, sage comment ... and very very true. Thanks.

@Wonderplant is Alexandra this simple for you, the song I mean?

@DrWeiland : actually ... yeah ... it is. Absolute respect, gross and blinding adoration. Loss. Seems pretty simple to me. But ironically, Mr. Cohen's approach to describing simple things poetically, with language, isn't so simple at all. I tend to read some fairly heavy ideas in to a lot of his writing but this one is fairly simple to me. The originating story doesn't necessarily impact one's interpretation, especially if one is ignorant of it (as I am).
