I don’t mean to suggest that I loved you the best I can’t keep track of each fallen robin I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel

That’s all

 I don’t even think of you that often.

The note Leonard Cohen sent his old girlfriend Marianne Ihlen when she was dying this summer.

I just want to wish you a very good journey. Goodbye old friend. Endless love, see you down the road

This is in my head after reading Ginchy’s beautiful piece, The Spirit of a Happy Home. Reviewed and heartily favorited! The story was posted a year ago, so I want to make sure my fellow CTM late-comers see it. It’s a wonderful read!

                                          Like a bird on the wire,                                     like a drunk in a midnight choir                                    I have tried in my way to be free.                                          Like a worm on a hook,                        like a knight from some old fashioned book                           I have saved all my ribbons for thee.                                        If I, if I have been unkind,                                I hope that you can just let it go by.                                        If I, if I have been untrue                                I hope you know it was never to you.                                          Like a baby, stillborn,                                    like a beast with his horn                            I have torn everyone who reached out for me.                                     But I swear by this song                               and by all that I have done wrong                                      I will make it all up to thee.                          I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,                     he said to me, “You must not ask for so much.”                And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,            she cried to me, “Hey, why not ask for more?”

                                 Oh like a bird on the wire,                              like a drunk in a midnight choir                            I have tried in my way to be free.

LINER NOTES: Songs of Leonard Cohen

Hello, Beautiful Losers! I wrote the script for this new Pitchfork Liner Notes video about Leonard Cohen’s classic debut LP. The lady above – Judy Collins – makes a few appearances. You should also check out the wonderful Cohen/Collins performances from a 1976 PBS special. They sound great together.
