Take This Waltz
I almost didn't do this, because 1) I've been mentioning Leonard Cohen way too much lately and 2) Springsteen's birthday is in two days, but...
I'm doing it anyway.
Today, Leonard Cohen, singer, songwriter, musician, poet, novelist, and all around awesome dude, turns 76.
...
And I'll dance with you in Vienna
I'll be wearing a river's disguise
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder,
My mouth on the dew of your thighs
And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook,
With the photographs there, and the moths
And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty
My cheap violin and my cross
And you'll carry me down on your dancing
To the pools that you lift on your wrist
Oh my love, Oh my love
Take this waltz, take this waltz
It's yours now. It's all that there is.
Interestingly, I just found out that a movie titled "Take This Waltz," with Seth Rogen and Sarah Silverman, is supposed to be released next year. Haven't found out if there's a tie to the song or not. But wasn't disappointed when " Bird on a Wire " came out with someone else's cover of the song "Bird on a Wire" in the soundtrack and a pretty good plot that had nothing to do with the movie at all except share a title. I did, however, discover that Sarah Silverman has a nude scene in it, which will be reason enough to go see the movie unless some asshole cuts it from the final release.
Okay, that's all I'm going to say about Jewish Canadian dudes
| Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson are both of Jewish descent as well |
