| Leonard Cohen – Anthem Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
I see this as a song of hope, of how our faults are proof of our existence. We are a frail species and knowing the faults within us makes all the more capable of seeing, with more clarity, the faults around us. We are capable of becoming a "thunder cloud" should we choose to do so, should we dedicate ourselves to such a purpose. There will be no pomp, no circumstance, no reward, no salutary drums pounding a grand entrance, only dedication to the struggle. That's how the light gets in. Great song and profound to its core. |

| Cohen's allusions are always complex and this nod to Ariel is no exception. I think you'll find your answer in Shelley's poem With a guitar. To Jane. Then again, maybe not, but that's my take on it. | |
