songs
do you remember the Hallelujah sung in the movie Shrek 2, where Shrek´s sitting at the bar feeling defeated? references to Leonard Cohen have woven themselves through these postings from time to time. apparently, reading an interview with him the other day, it said that it had taken him five years in which to write the song. and further, there are a number of versions. not just versions based on interpretations through the years by various artists, but also lyrically, at the level of the verses.so then,
below two of my most-listened-to in past weeks; well, see:
Frou Frou - Let Go

drink up baby down
Are you in or are you out?
Leave your things behind
'Cause it's all going off without you
Excuse me too busy you're writing your tragedy
These mishaps
You bubble-wrap
When you've no idea what you're like
[Chorus:]
So, let go,let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go, l-let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
It gains the more it gives
And then it rises with the fall
So hand me that remote
Can't you see that all that stuff's a sideshow?
Such boundless pleasure
We've no time for later
Now you can't await
your own arrival
you've twenty seconds to comply
[Chorus:]
So, let go, so let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's alright
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go, yeah let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
[Background sounds]
[Chorus:]
So, let go, so let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's alright
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go, yeah let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
In the breakdown
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
The breakdown
So amazing here
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

I’m sitting here frozen in this bed I made
Considering the weight of the bricks I laid now that I’m through
One by one sealed every crack that I could slip between to find my way back
Find my way back home to you
And I’m burning all my bridges
with these matches I light
To illuminate my path to what is right
And even if it’s true what they say
that you can’t go back home
once you’ve cast it away
I would still have left tonight
You know baby I would be with you if I could
To trade my flesh for your bones
I would, I would, I would, I would, I would…
I carry with me on my way
All the ghosts of all the love
that I let slip away
The heavy weight of promises made
That if I could exonerate
I might just lift off today
And I’m burning all my bridges
with these matches I light
To illuminate my path to what is right
And even if it’s true what they say
that you can’t go back home
once you’ve cast it away
I would still have left tonight
You know baby I would be with you if I could
To trade my flesh for your bones
I would, I would, I would, I would, I would…
I chased your memory from my mind
But every song I write is just a wish to find you, near or far
Through all the tears and all the time
That I been running blind
I still ain’t got to where you are
And I’m burning all my bridges
with these matches I light
To illuminate my path to what is right
And even if it’s true what they say
that you can’t go back home
once you’ve cast it away
I would still have left tonight
You know baby I would be with you if I could
To trade my flesh for your bones
I would, I would, I would, I would, I would…
