  • Hallelujah Leonard Cohen
    Hallelujah Leonard Cohen I've heard that there’s a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah x 4 You say I took the name in vain But I don't even know the name And if I did, well really, what's it to you? There's a blaze of light In every word It doesn't matter what you’ve heard The holy or the broken Hallelujah Hallelujah x 4 I did my best, it wasn't much I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you And even though it all went wrong I stand before the Lord of Song With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah Hallelujah x 4 "Hallelujah" is a song written by Canadian singer Leonard Cohen, originally released on his album Various Positions (1984). Achieving little initial success, the song found greater popular acclaim through a recording by John Cale, which inspired a recording by Jeff Buckley. It has been viewed as a "baseline" for secular hymns. Following its increased popularity after being featured in the film Shrek (2001), many other arrangements have been performed in recordings and in concert, with over 300 versions known. The song has been used in film and television soundtracks and televised talent contests. "Hallelujah" experienced renewed interest following Cohen's death in November 2016 and appeared on many international singles charts, including entering the American Billboard Hot 100 for the first time.

  • New Jerusalem Glowing: Songs and Poems of Leonard Cohen in A
    New Jerusalem Glowing Songs and Poems of Leonard Cohen in a Kabbalistic Key Elliot R. Wolfson In Book of Mercy, published in 1984, the Montréal Jewish poet, Leonard Cohen addressed his master: Sit down, Master, on the rude chair of praises, and rule my nervous heart with your great decrees of freedom. Out of time you have taken me to do my daily task. Out of mist and dust you have fashioned me to know the numberless worlds between the crown and the kingdom. In utter defeat I came to you and you received me with a sweetness I had not dared to remember. Tonight I come to you again, soiled by strategies and trapped in the loneliness of my tiny domain. Establish your law in this walled place. Let nine men come to lift me into their prayer so that I may whisper with them: Blessed be the name of the glory of the kingdom forever and forever.1 In this prayer, the poet offers us a way to the heart of the matter that I will discuss in this study, however feebly, the songs and poems of Leonard Cohen in the key of the symbolism of kabbalah, the occult oral tradition of Judaism purported to be ancient, but historically detectable (largely through textual evidence) from the late Middle Ages. To those even somewhat familiar with 2 the background of the Canadian bard, the topic should not come as a surprise. 1 Leonard Cohen, Book of Mercy, New York 1984, p. 16. 2 The original version of this study was delivered as a lecture at McGill University, October 18, 2001.

  • Full Results of Survey of Songs
    Existential Songs Full results Supplementary material for Mick Cooper’s Existential psychotherapy and counselling: Contributions to a pluralistic practice (Sage, 2015), Appendix. One of the great strengths of existential philosophy is that it stretches far beyond psychotherapy and counselling; into art, literature and many other forms of popular culture. This means that there are many – including films, novels and songs that convey the key messages of existentialism. These may be useful for trainees of existential therapy, and also as recommendations for clients to deepen an understanding of this way of seeing the world. In order to identify the most helpful resources, an online survey was conducted in the summer of 2014 to identify the key existential films, books and novels. Invites were sent out via email to existential training institutes and societies, and through social media. Participants were invited to nominate up to three of each art media that ‘most strongly communicate the core messages of existentialism’. In total, 119 people took part in the survey (i.e., gave one or more response). Approximately half were female (n = 57) and half were male (n = 56), with one of other gender. The average age was 47 years old (range 26–89). The participants were primarily distributed across the UK (n = 37), continental Europe (n = 34), North America (n = 24), Australia (n = 15) and Asia (n = 6). Around 90% of the respondents were either qualified therapists (n = 78) or in training (n = 26). Of these, around two-thirds (n = 69) considered themselves existential therapists, and one third (n = 32) did not. There were 235 nominations for the key existential song, with enormous variation across the different respondents.

These are not merely per­ sonal concerns for Cohen, they are dimensions of the world that he tries to understand as a poet, singer, and thinker. Now it's something of a cliche to see the modern romantic or post-romantic singer or poet in terms of personal strug­ gles, failures, triumphs, and reversals. Poets sometimes re­ spond by adopting elusive, ironic, enigmatic, or parodic voices: think, in their different ways, of Bob Dylan and Anne Carson. Yet Cohen has always worn his heart on his sleeve or some less clothed part of his body: he let us know, for ex­ ample, that Janis Joplin gave him head in the Chelsea hotel while their celebrity limos were waiting outside.

  • Leonard Cohen in French Culture: a Song of Love and Hate
    The Journal of Specialised Translation Issue 29 – January 2018 Leonard Cohen in French culture: A song of love and hate. A comparison between musical and literary translation Francis Mus, University of Liège and University of Leuven ABSTRACT Since his comeback on stage in 2008, Leonard Cohen (1934-2016) has been portrayed in the surprisingly monolithic image of a singer-songwriter who broke through in the ‘60s and whose works have been increasingly categorised as ‘classics’. In this article, I will examine his trajectory through several cultural systems, i.e. his entrance into both the French literary and musical systems in the late ‘60s and early ’70s. This is an example of mediation brought about by both individual people and institutions in both the source and target cultures. Cohen’s texts do not only migrate between geo-politically defined source and target cultures (Canada and France), but also between institutionally defined musical and literary systems within one single geo-political context (France). All his musical albums were reviewed and distributed there soon after their release and almost his entire body of literary works (novels and poetry collections) has been translated into French. Nevertheless, Cohen’s reception has never been univocal, either in terms of the representation of the artist or in terms of the evaluation of his works, as this article concludes. KEYWORDS Leonard Cohen, cultural transfer, musical translation, retranslation, ambivalence. I don’t speak French that well. I can get by, but it’s not a tongue I could ever move around in in a way that would satisfy the appetites of the mind or the heart.

  • Morre Leonard Cohen, Autor De '
    Disciplina - Língua Estrangeira Moderna - Morre Leonard Cohen, autor de ''Hallelujah" LEM Enviado por: [email protected] Postado em:11/11/2016 Música e poesia em luto pela morte de Leonard Cohen Autor de ''Hallelujah'', que virou monge budista e saiu do exílio para recuperar o dinheiro roubado pelo empresário, faleceu nessa quinta-feira, aos 82 anos de idade. O lendário cantor e compositor Leonard Cohen, cujo trabalho inspirou músicos por mais de cinco décadas, morreu nesta quinta-feira, aos 82 anos. A gravadora de Cohen confirmou a notícia por meio da página oficial do artista no Facebook. “É com profundo pesar que informamos que o lendário poeta, compositor e artista Leonard Cohen faleceu”, diz a nota oficial. “Perdemos um dos mais reverenciados e profícuos visionários da música. As cerimônias fúnebres em memória a ele acontecerão em Los Angeles, em data a ser divulgada. A família pede privacidade durante seu período de luto.” A causa da morte não foi divulgada. Cohen foi uma espécie de líder velado de um pequeno grupo de cantores e compositores extremamente influentes que emergiram nos anos 60 e no início dos anos 70. “Entre eles, apenas Bob Dylan alcançou uma influência mais profunda em sua geração e talvez apenas Paul Simon e seu colega canadense Joni Mitchell se igualam a ele como letrista”, descreveu a revista Rolling Stone. Ele foi também um dos poucos artistas de sua geração a experimentar o sucesso no topo de seus 80 anos, lançando um álbum final, You Want It Darker, mês passado.
