Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows.

Heard their stories, heard them all,
But love’s the only engine of survival.
Give me Stalin and St. Paul
I've seen the future, brother
It is murder
He will be forever remembered as the coward that ignited the US civil war and dragged a once thriving nation into 3rd world status led by endless dictators wielding murderous power. No nation ever fell so far, so fast as the one he betrayed.

He's definitely got a handful of songs that feel so timely to the current moment, you have to remind yourself they came out forever ago. (Kind of like "Where the Bottles Break" by John Gorka.)
Great minds, great music.
in Grade 8 poetry.
Dirty Limiricks too.
Our teacher's favorites.
He was amazing and well loved but
mostly respected
for his ability to win
over everyone to
his teaching methods.
He had our respect.
I wouldn't have known Cohen like
I do now.
He was less than 10
yrs popular but yeah.
We did that for most
of poetry class.
He wanted us to read and hear poem set to music.
We talked about what the words meant to us .
Dylan was hard to
understand and would have been
good too, had time allowed.
I listened to music
differently.
Poetry for all.

Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.
We asked for signs
The signs were sent:
The birth betrayed
The marriage spent
Yeah the widowhood
Of every government
Signs for all to see.

Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long-stem rose
Everybody knows
Everybody knows the boat is sinking
Everybody knows the captain lied
Everybody has that sinking feeling
Like their father or their dog has died
The greatest songwriter of all time.
Give me Stalin and St Paul
Give me christ or give me Hiroshima
Things are gonna slide
Slide in all directions
Won’t be nothing nothing you can measure any more……

I couldn't go.
I was unwell and I would have had an emotional breakdown at the concert had I attended.🥺🥺
His beautiful soul came through his throat and in his lyric phrasing.
Beloved Gentleman of Canada.
My disability involved emotional dis regulation.
Soaring joy or intense emotions on the other end.
Damaged vagus nerve function caused abdominal seizures.
Cerebral responses are the new way👍😏
Hearing them in my mind can bring me to years.
Reading the lyrics.
The same with Neil Young's Kent State Massacre anthem and warning: OHIO.
Jim Morrison had prescience too.
Peace!
Idk, I like the vibe.
melancholy, kinda sad.
That band had their own vibe, you know what I mean?
You can recognize them from the sound of the band, and that’s an accomplishment.
Want a toke? 😂
there are covers of this that are great too

I wasn't aware it was a Leonard Cohen tune until I checked out the CD notes. You know, when we bought physical media in the bygone past.

My favorite version. It was featured at the end of the final episode of the series "Damages"
I was 17 years younger than him and he was my hero❤️
Everybody knows the Captain lied...
And there’s a mighty judgement coming, but I may be wrong
You see, you hear these funny voices
In the Tower of Song.
~Leonard Cohen
Tower of Song
💙🇺🇸💪🏼🏴☠️
Thank you Dia🙏🏻
Many of his beautiful songs live in my soul. He was a gift to humanity🌎💪🏼☮️
And the summer night is fragrant
With a mighty expectation of relief
So we struggle and we stagger
Down the snakes and up the ladder
To the tower where the blessed hours chime”

Love that song. Concrete Blonde did a good cover too.
