Which Cohen song was atrociously treated by a singer now 75 years old?

Steven · Post by **Steven** » Tue Jun 21, 2016 6:00 pm

Hi Hartmut,

The singer is Joan Baez and the song is "Suzanne."

Quite right. - That was fast.

Hi,

Motes are significant in what song? Let's exclude "Show Me The Place" as a possibility.

Born in Chains

"in every atom broken is the Name"

Love Itself

" in streams of light I clearly saw
The dust you seldom see,"

and

"All busy in the sunlight
The flecks did float and dance"

Hi Gentle Reader,

You are correct, twice over, with "Born In Chains" and "Love Itself." Hadn't thought of "Born In Chains."
The next question is yours, if you want it.

Thanks! Name two songs which mention a baby! Excludes Lullaby.

Hi Gentle Reader,

"Bird On The Wire" and "The Future" are two songs that mention a baby.

"Bird On The Wire": "Like a baby, stillborn"
"The Future": "Destroy another fetus now"

Not happy references. Forgive me if they aren't the songs you had in mind.

A few more babies:

I TRIED TO LEAVE YOU
The baby's crying

HUNTER'S LULLABY
And he leaves a baby sleeping

THANKS FOR THE DANCE
Thanks for the dance / And the baby I carried

BECAUSE OF
And cover me up / Like a baby that is shivering

WHY DON'T YOU TRY
Do you need his labour for your baby

A STREET
You left me with the dishes / And a baby in the bath

Possibly:
THE CAPTAIN
I left a wife in Tennessee / and a baby in Saigon

Which song praises the values of pedicures, fire extinguishers, spectacles, cigars, space exploring, and life vests (in that order)?

Steven · Post by **Steven** » Sat Jun 25, 2016 4:57 am

Hi Hartmut,

"Democracy" may be the song. Here's why:

pedicures: "Tiananmen Square," protesters were on their feet
fire extinguishers: "sirens"
spectacles: "wars against disorder"
cigars: "ashes of the gay"
space exploring: "beneath the lunar sway"
life vests: "Sail on, sail on / O mighty Ship of State! / To the shores of Need / Past the Reefs of Greed."

Hi Steven,

Steven wrote: "Democracy" may be the song. Here's why:

That's astonishingly fitting - but, alas, not quite what I had in mind.

The song I'm looking for is ... not a sweet song. And also it's not new.

I was thinking of spectacles to put on your nose ...

I just noticed that my description was wrong: I meant "manicures", not "pedicures".

Now it should be easy.
