This is the perfect song. I know this because I have already spent twenty hours listening to it, and there’s no end in sight.
Cohen’s deadpan delivery is perfect for this kind of engagement, for the long and repeating and always learning more.
Nothing wasted and nothing missed. Nothing longed for or skipped. It’s low key and deliberate. Measured and delivered with the calmness and wisdom of resignation.
It’s a beautiful day.
Take a breather.
Here’s something to listen to while you do.
experimental, ambient, drone
a l0BIT release
Cat Stevens hangs on with my favorite album, but Dance by Mutabaruka is my favorite song.
I embedded this one because cool slideshow, here’s one that doesn’t run forty-five seconds over.
cause out of de music comes de tinkin of de mind
an’ de people move on leavin nothin behind
de laughter an’ pain become as one
like de action of our ancestors risin from de lan’
