Bird on a Wire

50 years ago today released 'Live Songs'. Cohen's ensemble included on bass and violin, and Jennifer Warren on backing vocals, later to become better known as .

"I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
He said to me, "You must not ask for so much"
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door
She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"

Contemplating this Leonard Cohen poem, and realizing it may have prepared me for the 2020s more than just about anything else.

I'm obviously very biased in this matter, but as I expected when I saw the list of artists on "Here It Is: A Tribute to Leonard Cohen", the Peter Gabriel and Iggy Pop tracks are very much my highlights. In particular, Peter's vocals seem to have dropped an octave per decade recently, so he's very well-placed to be doing Cohen songs nowadays. Enjoyed all of it, though.

in Canada - The horrible losses of war
When I was still teaching every year, two of my young students would recite "In Flanders Fields" over the school intercom just before the minutes of silence. It was always very moving. The whole school hushed in silence.

Leonard Cohen – “Happens to the Heart”

After his passing, I didn't expect to find anything new from him, but there's a new album forthcoming and this single is every bit as powerful as his other songs.
