| Leonard Cohen – Famous Blue Raincoat Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I tend to think this is a very accurate description of Mr. Cohen's beautiful song. His lyrics always tend to have this dark twisted tone to them--the lyrics live deep in the mind of the speaker...and are often almost demented. This is why it feels that there is something slightly off about the "Blue Raincoat" wearer. Perhaps he is eccentric as mr. bunbun suggests in his post. Eccentric people capture our hearts and then vanish whenever they fancy without a though to conventional rules or pleasantries. He was able to change the speakers' lover, Jane, for the better. This is something the speaker does not regret because he loves Jane. He has fond, tired, and sad thoughts for his "brother"--and is simply wondering about how he's doing. I agree that the sleeping enemy in the demons that plague the raincoat wearer. |
