We are ugly but we have the music. - Leonard Cohen

I’ll be marching through the morning,
Marching through the night,
Moving 'cross the borders
Of My Secret Life.

People used to say my music was too difficult or too obscure, and I never set out to be difficult or obscure. I just set out to write what I felt as honestly as I could, and I am delighted when other people feel a part of themselves in the music.

You who build these altars now to sacrifice these children, you must not do it anymore. A scheme is not a vision and you never have been tempted by a demon or a god.
