Leonard Cohen - Light as the breeze

A beautiful song - as so many of Leonard's are. One line is so touching:
"And like a blessing come from heaven,
For something like a second,
I was healed and my heart was at ease".

For someone who struggles with depression, you can understand how important this healing is - even if it's only for "something like a second".

i made love to girlfriend to this song last night

absolutely a favourite from 'The Future'---

Thank you!

I've always heard, "but don't forget there's still a woman/ beneath this/ resplendent charade". Charade for Chemise. I wonder if this is what the lyrics read on the album jacket.

Lol - no. It wouldn't rhyme, apart from anything else. Maybe car chase or cream cheese ;o)

"It don't matter how you worship
as long as you're down on your knees".
This is pretty well a summary of LC's take on the world, echoed in Hallellujah and other songs. He seems to believe that it doesn't matter how you get to the "Hallellujah", be it through love, lust, music, religion, grief or some other route; as long as you reach that point beyond the ordinary humdrum emotions of everyday life. I do agree with his view of life. Brilliant.

very nicely put

Thank you. It's true though, isn't it. I recall many of those moments in my life when I just said: "Wow, yes/hallelujah/glorious! etc. You know, the perfect pass, the moment of orgasm, the peak of the mountain, the last ski-run of the day on empty pistes, the swooping Manta, the grasping of a lyric, the eagle on the wing, the trance of the dance.

Life is outrageously inspiring at times and worthy of celebration. :)

he is releasing a new cd??????

You are a true-become dream, good-naturedly like the sun, cordially like a rainbow and brilliant like entire nature. Thanks.
