Because we Gen-X'ers all know the lyrics to Leonard Cohen's "Everybody Knows" by heart, none of this shit comes as a surprise to us.

Hi Mastodon,
I’d like to reintroduce myself and introduce my album “A Cufflink-Wearing Guy”.
I write songs and over the past 6 years roughly, I’ve collected 10 from about 100 to be recorded, mixed and mastered. As of today, those 10 songs are available to listen to at bandcamp as the album “A Cufflink-Wearing Guy” (https://alastairleonard.bandcamp.com/album/a-cufflink-wearing-guy)
There are songs about fleeting marketplace romances (Sunflowers), and going in search of your life’s purpose (Desert Rose). There are other songs about taking the easy road and waking up late (Mid-Morning Guy) and the housing crisis in Australia (Yoshino Removals). There are even more songs — about bad haircuts (West Coast Haircut) and the disappearance of the bees (Honey Bee). The title track follows a pair of cufflinks given to me as a young man and their trajectory through the following decades. All the lyrics are up there so you can read along while listening if that’s your preference.
The music is roughly what I’d call indie-pop including jangly guitars numbers and piano ballads but there are forays into country twang, latin percussion, and doof. Some of my influences include #jeffreylewis #bjork #davidberman #cassandrajenkins #dangelo #leonardcohen #hopesandovalandthewarminventions #lucindawilliams #jenslekman #jonathanrichman #ninasimone #arethafranklin #pixies #thecure #thefieldmice #thesundays #thelemonheads #themagneticfields #tmbg #thegobetweens #motown
Attention is a commodity these days and I don’t expect too many people will hear the record; but if you do feel inclined to listen and can find a moment, I hope you find something joyful in these songs. Creating A Cufflink-Wearing Guy has been a labour of love. Mostly love, a little labour. Until next time, keep looking on the bright side. Thanks for reading. AL

Les jours de blues, il y a toujours un moment où je reviens vers Leonard Cohen.
Aujourd'hui, au hasard d'une playlist, c'est ce titre qui est venu m'accompagner.#melancolie #LeonardCohen #music

I'm going with gratuitous violins this #TuneTuesday, for songs that name-check guitars or other stringed instruments.
The first time I heard this song it was the cover by Madeleine Peyroux. The opening line was so distinctive that I looked up and said, "Oh, a Leonard Cohen song."
"Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin" 🎻 🔥 🎶

"Growing up, most “#Jewish #music” classes I encountered were basically a teacher standing at the front of the room saying, “#BobDylan is Jewish,” then playing a Bob Dylan song. Then: “#CaroleKing is Jewish,” followed by a Carole King song. And so on for 45 minutes. People always seemed to enjoy it, but I’d leave wondering: OK, this person happened to be Jewish — but what’s Jewish about the art?
So, I started asking people: What is #Jewishmusic?
I heard every possible answer. Anything in #Hebrew. Anything from #Israel. Music based on the #Torah. #GeorgeGershwin. #LeonardCohen. A #Jew playing music.
Each answer contained some truth, but none felt complete."

You want it Darker / Leonard Cohen, cover di First Aid Kit
Una canzone spietata IMHO su chi è pronto a ubbidire agli ordini, fossero anche quelli che lui crede provenire dal Creatore.
You want it darker... we kill the flame.
Vuoi più oscurità... noi spegniamo la candela.#leonardCohen #Cohen

When they poured across the border
I was cautioned to surrender
This I could not do;
I took my gun and vanishedI have changed my name so often
I've lost my wife and children
But I have many friends
And some of them are with meAn old woman gave us shelter
Kept us hidden in the garret
Then the soldiers came;
She died without a whisperThere were three of us this morning
I'm the only one this evening
But I must go on;
The frontiers are my prisonOh, the wind, the wind is blowing
Through the graves the wind is blowing
Freedom soon will come;
Then we'll come from the shadowsLes Allemands étaient chez moi
Ils me dirent, "Signe toi,"
Mais je n'ai pas peur;
J'ai repris mon armeJ'ai changé cent fois de nom
J'ai perdu femme et enfants
Mais j'ai tant d'amis;
J'ai la France entièreUn vieil homme dans un grenier
Pour la nuit nous a caché
Les Allemands l'ont pris;
Il est mort sans surpriseOh, the wind, the wind is blowing
Through the graves the wind is blowing
Freedom soon will come;
Then we'll come from the shadows -
"There's a lover in the story But the story's still the same There's a lullaby for suffering And a paradox to blame But it's written in the scriptures And it's not some idle claim You want it darker We kill the flame" #LeonardCohen www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0nm...

@ascentale @bikenite A8.2. Here’s another photo that’s a bit of a cheat in that I didnt take it. Another of our sons is in Montréal this week, and took this photo today of the modest grave of an important Canadian poet who called that city home.

"Here come's your bride with her veil on
Approach her, you wretch, if you dare
Approach her, you ape with your tail on
Once you have her she'll always be there"Leonard Cohen - Don't Go Home With Your Hard-On (1977)
