What else? Oh yeah… *that* election…
“There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.”
“That election”: the only place to seek comfort is the power of the democracy’s institutions. Maybe this time they will be truly tested. One thing is certain in my mind: the new president elect will not be awarded a Nobel Prize in 2018 for NOT being his predecessor.
And we can only thank the deity of choice for that!!
Don’t forget Keith Emerson…
These are great and vibrant lyrics????????
Ah baby, let’s get married
We’ve been alone too long
Let’s be alone together
Let’s see if we’re that strong
Yeah let’s do something crazy,
Something absolutely wrong
While we’re waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come
Nothing left to do
When you know that you’ve been taken
Nothing left to do
When you’re begging for a crumb
Nothing left to do
When you’ve got to go on waiting
Waiting for the miracle to come
Why are you borstlapping every thread about Leonard Cohen?
You don’t like the guy? Fine, we get it.
Do you have to comment every time you see his name?
Sheesh…
Thank you for posting this video ….. so timely.
Leonard Cohen’s final recording, ‘You want It Darker, is’ an unimaginably moving farewell to life, and a great work of art to boot …. one for the ages.
