• This song arises from an over-used bed in the Penn Terminal Hotel in 1966. It’s a very sinister The room is too hot. The radiator wouldn’t stop hissing. The faucet wouldn’t stop its mythological drip into the destroying porcelain sink. I can’t open the windows. I am in the midst of a bitter quarrel with a blonde woman. The song is half-written in pencil but it protects us as we manoeuvre, each of us, for unconditional victory. I am in the wrong room. I was with the wrong woman as usual. But as your Eastern physicians, Eastern metaphysicians know, just as from the darkest mud blooms the whitest lotus, so from the brownest hotel room you occasionally get a good song.
• I think it’s about a love that can’t be, meeting someone at a point in your life when a relationship isn’t possible. For me, it’s about an affair.
• About Leonard Cohen (interview in Warsaw): I grew up in Montreal,in Canada.It is a very wide and beautiful country. I come from a very curious city where there are many influences operating: European, French, English, Jewish, Ukranian, German, Polish, Hungarian. I can’t begin to name all of the influences that i grew up around.And always there was the symbol of the church.We were Jews. We had a very ambiguous feeling about the Church because we knew the History of the church and we knew the History of the Jews.It is a curious thing friends that i found myself at this moment in the country where the greatest destruction of the Jewry occured. I have no thoughts about it. I have feelings that cannot be spoken. It has nothing to do with you. It has nothing to do with me.It is some matter between our great grand-parents,your great grand-parents and my great grand-parents. I have no judgment. My song has no flag, my song has no party,my song has no border. It is for men of good will, everywhere. But let us forget these heavy matters for a moment and return to my dismal adolescence in Montreal.
