加拿大詩人歌手Leonard Cohen,有着低沉的SEXY嗓音。令人不知不觉沉迷于他的意境之中,无力挣扎。与他的嗓音相得益彰,是他的歌词。思辩也好、绝望也罢,同样令人不可抗拒。他的少有人能与之媲美的成熟魅力,使他成为流行音乐六七十年代,一直到现在都很有影响力和号召力的巨人。
上面播放器中,是他的waiting for the miracle,歌词如下:
waiting for the miracle - Leonard Cohen
baby, i've been waiting,
i've been waiting night and day.
i didn't see the time,
i waited half my life away.
there were lots of invitations
and i know you sent me some,
but i was waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
i know you really loved me.
but, you see, my hands were tied.
i know it must have hurt you,
it must have hurt your pride
to have to stand beneath my window
with your bugle and your drum,
and me i'm up there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
ah i don't believe you'd like it,
you wouldn't like it here.
there ain't no entertainment
and the judgements are severe.
the maestro says it's mozart
but it sounds like bubble gum
when you're waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.

另一首In My Secret Life,歌词如下:
In My Secret Life - Leonard Cohen
I saw you this morning.
You were moving so fast.
Can't seem to loosen my grip
On the past.
And I miss you so much.
There's no one in sight.
And we're still making love
In My Secret Life.
I smile when I'm angry.
I cheat and I lie.
I do what I have to do
To get by.
But I know what is wrong,
And I know what is right.
And I'll die for the truth
In My Secret Life.
Hold on, hold on, my brother.
My sister, hold on tight.
I finally got my orders.
I'l be marching through the morning,
Marching through the night,
Moving cross the borders
Of My Secret Life.
Looked through the paper.
Makes you want to cry.
Nobody cares if the people
Live or die.
And the dealer wants you thinking
That it's either black or white.
Thank G-d it'ss not that simple
In My Secret Life.
I bite my lip.
I buy what I'm told:
From the latest hit,
To the wisdom of old.
But I'm always alone.
And my heart is like ice.
And it's crowded and cold
In My Secret Life.
