"Isabelle had been for some time capable of very strong, if very transient emotions...." - F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side Of Paradise

I heard Leonard Cohen’s Old Ideas (out 1/31) in full on Friday afternoon, and then I got to watch him be interviewed. He was funny and warm and evasive at just the right moments. (His voice got deeper because he stopped smoking, just in case you were wondering.) It happened as dusk was falling at Joe’s Pub, and the whole thing—the light, the people bowing their heads, the lyric sheets serving as hymnals, me arriving late—felt like church.

This song was playing as I scurried inside. I love the sound of the guitar on it especially.
