Leaving the table

X

Habrá un momento lúcido de olvido

tras las ortigas yertas del futuro

donde el corazón, viejo y oscuro,

abrazará su céfiro perdido.

También escaparé de todo el ruido

y de mi encierro burdo y prematuro

y hablaré de tus ojos de ángel puro

como se habla de un astro indefinido.

Aunque el peso de tu beso pueda herirme,

partiré, de tus labios hacia el mundo;

al otro extremo de la tarde rubia

Aunque no pueda el corazón ser firme

y me traicione durante el segundo

En que me atreva a contemplar la lluvia.

Rodrigo Panteonero Invierno 2016

I don't need a reason For what I became I've got these excuses They're tired and they're lame I don't need a pardon, no no, no no, no There's no one left to blame I'm leaving the table I'm out of the game (via https://open.spotify.com/track/7pyCJ0V0kIY57QdlEcM1eO?si=H_TzO1__RRe4b5Yre1zmMQ)

Those musical records that are released before their musicians' death can also be seen as a culmination of everything they did in their careers. You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen stays as a  great example of that, because the disc finds him discussing the same themes that troubled him throughout his opus, but his finale gives this a specific outlook. While you can call the album bleak, you also notice he's quite light hearted about the latter quality. His patented wit remains firm, his words are strong and his musical backing could be seen as one of the best he ever had. One wishes Mr. Cohen lived on, You Want It Darker reminds us of Blackstar in that regard, i.e. he sounds highly invigorated on something that became his sonic will.
