Virkelighed overgår ofte fantasi. Sandelig om Leonard Cohen ikke har fået påført sin nye single et regulært 90’er-oldskool-remix af tyske Paul Kalkbrenner. Resultatet? Døm selv…

I et omfattende David Remnick-interview i The New Yorker, hvor der diskuteres nylavede musikalske skitser, udtaler Cohen iøvrigt følgende næsten for konkrete ord:

– I don’t think I’ll be able to finish those songs. Maybe, who knows? And maybe I’ll get a second wind, I don’t know. But I don’t dare attach myself to a spiritual strategy. I  don’t dare do that. I’ve got some work to do. Take care of business. I am ready to die. I hope it’s not too uncomfortable. That’s about it for me.
