Thank you Hugo!
I will be awaiting a chance to read her book. I cannot find it available yet, but I won't give up easy.

Am I wrong to think that Cohen fans may be able to cope with self-isolation better than most?...... .......a song set in troubled times that intrigues me today more than ever: https://youtu.be/H63dZKnlu_I 4, From the little- and the lot- I have learned about all things Cohen, I am fairly sure you a...

Thank you!

Has anyone posted this event on YouTube?
We would love to see it.

Thanks!

Sorry for my above typos... I was writing with my grandchild on my lap. Which by the way, we were listening to Georges Dor's La Manic as I fed him his bottle, and he loved it! Proving that he is already wise beyond his years at 3 months!

Hello and yikes! So, I will tell you what happens when you you don't have time to log in and read the new posts you asked to be notified of.... you miss an ongoing conversation on your favorite thread!! Because once you miss one, they don't notify you again.... no matter how many you miss. Not that ...

Yes, thank you for further info on The Night of Santiago! I remember commenting to Dave when I first heard it that it was a very sexy song for a man in his eighties to write (and he has Leonard to thank, that I will expect no less from him when we are older, lol). I was about to look up how old Lorc...

4! What a great invitation to discuss the final albums. Thank you for your story (account, interpretation… etc.) of the final contributions of our hero/priest/leader after his being financially raped by Kelly. As someone who was not following him during his final years onstage and in the studio (rem...

Although we saw this at a local theater (and loved it, of course), we have just ordered a rental of the DVD through Netflix. It is not available on their streaming account, only on their DVD rental platform. They have just notified us that that it has mailed. I will let you know if there is anything...

for anyone not acquainted with the norwegian language it might be wise to wait until subtitles are embedded, otherwise a lot of interesting details will be missed So true Geoffrey, but I couldn't resist watching it anyway... Even though I will need to wait for the subtitles to understand the detail...

Hi 4!- Re the short Verse 8, if we conjecture that the words are dealing solely with romantic relationships, they take on a bit of a disagreeable tone Sorry, when I said that this song was romantic, what I tried to say (not very well) is that romance doesn't just have to do with what happens in a re...

A real enigma with "Happens to the Heart" is the short Verse 8: "I was handy with a rifle my father's .303 I fought for something final Not the right to disagree" The only interpretation I have come up with is, "you know, thinking back, the words I wrote all these years were really on the mark, and...

Jean,
Thank you for the link of Sílvia Pérez Cruz singing Pequeño vals vienés. How very, very beautiful!
And yes, I did recognize your signature in the song (and poem) and have often wondered why you chose that particular line.

Thank you B4 for your always revealing thoughts and back-story information on lyrics I noticed on Instagram that people are already declaring a favorite song on TFTD, but I don't know how they can, given the truth that 4 pointed out-- the more you hear Leonard's words, the more you discover. But I d...
