Vamos começar com a música nova do mestre Leonard Cohen, “Going Home”, cuja letra foi publicada em forma de poema no The New Yorker dessa semana. Como você já deve saber, Cohen vai lançar seu novo disco, Old Ideas, dia 31 de Janeiro, e já é possível ouvir duas faixas deste disco. Ouça e leia este grande cantor e escritor abaixo.
“Going Home”
I love to speak with Leonard
He’s a sportsman and a shepherd
He’s a lazy bastard
Living in a suit
But he does say what I tell him
Even though it isn’t welcome
He will never have the freedom
To refuse
He will speak these words of wisdom
Like a sage, a man of vision
Though he knows he’s really nothing
But the brief elaboration of a tube
Going home
Without my sorrow
Going home
Sometime tomorrow
To where it’s better
Than before
Going home
Without my burden
Going home
Behind the curtain
Going home
Without the costume
That I wore
He wants to write a love song
An anthem of forgiving
A manual for living with defeat
A cry above the suffering
A sacrifice recovering
But that isn’t what I want him to complete
I want to make him certain
That he doesn’t have a burden
That he doesn’t need a vision
That he only has permission
To do my instant bidding
That is to SAY what I have told him
To repeat
Going home
Without my sorrow
Going home
Sometime tomorrow
Going home
To where it’s better
Than before
Going home
Without my burden
Going home
Behind the curtain
Going home
Without the costume
That I wore
I love to speak with Leonard
He’s a sportsman and a shepherd
He’s a lazy bastard
Living in a suit.
Por fim, temos o cover que o duo de Nova York Cults fez da música “Everybody Knows”, que faz parte do disco I’m Your Man de 1988. Embora o vocal feminino de Madeline Follin esteja bem distante do tom grave e sombrio de Leonard Cohen, o Cults não decepcionou. Confira abaixo.
