The original song is pure poetry ........ and the steam's coming off her she's huge and she's shy and she steps on the moon when she paws at the sky....... .... So he binds himself to the galloping mare and she binds herself to the rider there....... I've been a Cohen fan for 40 years now!

[Lorna1975]

It's a song by Leonard Cohen, called, 'Ballad of the Absent Mare' It is the most haunting song I have ever heard.

[madbuddhist]

The song is from the Leonard Cohen album "Recent Songs".

Agreed. If you do not like this there is other music for you, X-factor maybe. Cohen is a rare writer in that he leaves his songs open for others to interprate, but they never lose his magic, the majic of a well crafted lyric that seems to transcend the mere words

Mr. Cohen does not have fans, he has people that love his art in bits.

Both Mrs. Batalla and Mr. Colis have had a brilliant performance.

Él pone toda la sobre actuación que Leonard Cohen siempre ha evitado y de la que habla en un poema "how to read poetry". Perla Batalla, grande como siempre pero el otro, se siente muy "majo", me recuerda un amigo español cuando se pone borrachito. Pasión, la de Morente.
