Leonard Cohen - Ten New Songs - By The Rivers Dark Lyrics

1. By The Rivers Dark  - Pure poetry backed up by a mysterious voice. Edenic settings. Babylon. Wedding ring taken by the wind. Lawless hart - withered limb. 

 

Leonard Cohen - Ten New Songs - Boogie Street Lyrics

2. Boogie Street - I should have chosen "In my secret life". But "everybody knows" that. This "boogie street" is a symbol or concept that you will find very often in Cohen's lyrics. The beauty of it all is that "there's no one who has told us yet what Boogie Street is for."

 

Leonard Cohen - I'm Your Man - I'm Your Man Lyrics

3. I'm Your Man - This is how a man should change himself to please a woman. Different stages on which different characters perform, portrayed by the same actor. The faces of love one would say. 

 
Ending Words: Leonard Cohen is a legend. From 1967- date of his first album- he keeps coming back with some of the great blues ballads ever. Also a poet, he has some published poetry volumes. Many dont really like his voice from the early period, before 1984. After that his voice became same like it is on the last album.
