今年加拿大的Juno音乐奖,虽然把最佳单曲奖颁给了Carly Rae Jepsen的"Call Me Maybe",把“Fan Choice Award” 颁给了Justin Bieber, (这两人都在美国红透了)
但是, 还是把“Artist of the Year” 和 “Songwriter of the Year” 颁给了Leonard Cohen。
光声记忆也写过:
Leonard Cohen从来就不是快乐的。从他的作品你可以清楚看到,他自怜、愤世、犬儒、沉溺,但从来都不快乐。就像他的一身黑,和嘴边那两道深深的、刀刻一样的法令纹。他很少笑,笑的时候也像是在自嘲,或者讥诮,那不是快乐的表情。他穿西装,黑色的。他穿羊毛套头衫,黑色的。他喝大量的咖啡,烟不离手。他的眼神灼灼逼人,像两口深井反射着阳光。。。。

就是不知道是不是都是他自己写的。
"In My Secret Life"
I saw you this morning.
You were moving so fast.
Can’t seem to loosen my grip
On the past.
And I miss you so much.
There’s no one in sight.
And we’re still making love
In My Secret Life.
I smile when I’m angry.
I cheat and I lie.
I do what I have to do
To get by.
But I know what is wrong,
And I know what is right.
And I’d die for the truth
In My Secret Life.
Hold on, hold on, my brother.
My sister, hold on tight.
I finally got my orders.
I’ll be marching through the morning,
Marching through the night,
Moving cross the borders
Of My Secret Life.
Looked through the paper.
Makes you want to cry.
Nobody cares if the people
Live or die.
And the dealer wants you thinking
That it’s either black or white.
Thank G-d it’s not that simple
In My Secret Life.
I bite my lip.
I buy what I’m told:
From the latest hit,
To the wisdom of old.
But I’m always alone.
And my heart is like ice.
And it’s crowded and cold
In My Secret Life.
LEONARD COHEN - A THOUSAND KISSES DEEP LYRICS
The ponies run, the girls are young
The odds are there to beat
You win a while, and then it's done
Your little winning streak
And summoned now to deal
With your invincible defeat
You live your life as if it's real
A thousand kisses deep
I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed
I'm back on boogie street
You lose your grip, and then you slip
Into the masterpiece
And maybe I had miles to drive
And promises to keep
You ditch it all to stay alive
A thousand kisses deep
And sometimes when the night is slow
The wretched and the meek
We gather up our hearts and go
A thousand kisses deep
Confined to sex, we pressed against
The limits of the sea
I saw there were no oceans left
For scavengers like me
I made it to the forward deck
I blessed our remnant fleet
And then consented to be wrecked
A thousand kisses deep
I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed
I'm back on boogie street
I guess they won't exchange the gifts
That you were meant to keep
And quiet is the thought of you
The file on you complete
Except what we forgot to do
A thousand kisses deep
And sometimes when the night is slow
The wretched and the meek
We gather up our hearts and go
A thousand kisses deep
The ponies run, the girls are young
The odds are there to beat
You win a while, and then it's done
Your little winning streak
And summoned now to deal
With your invincible defeat
You live your life as if it's real
A thousand kisses deep

Cohen首先是个诗人,然后才是歌手。然而,谁能抗拒他那要死不活自怜低沉的嗓音呢。他的词即使脱离旋律,仍然有深邃动人的力量。电子合成乐的沉郁节奏成为专辑音色的主乾,加上妖娆的合音天使,风格极是强烈。那被酒浸过被烟熏过被火烧过被风吹过的声喉,在冷漠的表情底下,是一股岩浆般的撼人力量,照亮人心最深最暗的底层。
