Day 2



Who by Fire, 1974 Leonard Cohen, on the album New Skin for the Old Ceremony, 1974

It's a song for Spring and Summer. This song delves into the complexities of mortality and the struggle to find meaning in life.

I think this song hurt me in the first place after a breakup with my boyfriend. I was fifteen and devastated.

I remember listening to this music while I left the curtains of my bedroom open because I hoped he came by on his bike and would see me in my room. I wrote in my diary. I sighed, and I was sad!

After a few months, we got back together again, but it never was the same after that. So, within a few months, I was the one breaking up. Under the voice of Leonard Cohen.

Lyrics:

And who by fire, who by water
Who in the sunshine, who in the night time
Who by high ordeal, who by common trial
Who in your merry merry month of May
Who by very slow decay
And who shall I say is calling?

And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate
Who in these realms of love, who by something blunt
And who by avalanche, who by powder
Who for his greed, who for his hunger
And who shall I say is calling?

And who by brave assent, who by accident
Who in solitude, who in this mirror
Who by his lady's command, who by his own hand
Who in mortal chains, who in power
And who shall I say is calling?
