yeah Oni to me it's about one of the most ambitious poetic decisions Cohen ever made - to re-interpret death as the coming together of lovers, absolutely huge undertaking but he pulls it off with beauty
Why I'm fire, he replied
and I love your solitude - I love your pride

They locked up a man
Who wanted to rule the world
The fools
They locked up the wrong man

This album is undeniably Cohen's absolute peak, both lyrically and musically. In fact, this is, in my opinion, perhaps the deepest, most poignant and effective realization of the potential of the blending of poetry and music to have ever been recorded.

i used to think Bob Dylan was obvs the best lyricist ever, but after spending some time with this album i'm not so sure anymore. this album just never stops haunting. also, has anyone ever done a fast and loud punk cover of Diamonds in the Mine? if not i gotta get on that

"i used to think Bob Dylan was obvs the best lyricist ever, but after spending some time with this album i'm not so sure anymore."
Dylan is the better songwriter, Cohen is the better writer. That doesn't really answer the question as to who's the better lyricist but that's just how I tend to think about them in comparison to one another.

this would be like comparing the incomparable

It'd either be Dress Rehearsal Rag or Joan of Arc, maybe Avalanche if I ignore those two.
The saddest of jams that could ever jam in jams, jacky b

soon
ever hear John Cale's Music for a New Society? I'd say it's just as downbeat as this, more piano-oriented than the acoustic folk-ish sound of this.
