You Want It Darker
Hypnotic groove.
The surprise of a great synagogue choir.
An unflinching exploration of the religious mind.
Didnt know I had permission to murder and to maim.
Treaty
One of Cohens signature melodies.
A confession of the selfishness of love and the hope of a correction.
Only one of us was realand that was me.
On the Level
An old mans take on desire.
I was fighting with temptation, but I didnt want to win
4.
Leaving the Table
A slow, relentless, and somehow joyous ballad of letting it all go by.
A guitar solo you will remember.
Im leaving the table, Im out of the game.
Traveling Light
A seeker hits the road and finds the joys of solitude.
Im traveling light
Its au revoir
My once so bright
My fallen star
7.
Lift this glass of blood, have a go at say the grace.
Steer Your Way
A song of courage as the heart moves into the darkness.
Steer your heart past the pain that is far more real than you.
I wish there was a treaty we could sign.
