There's a lover in the story
But the story's still the same
There's a lullaby for suffering
And a paradox to blame
But it's written in the scriptures
And it's not some idol claim
You want it darker
We kill the flame
Hineni, hineni
I'm ready, my Lord...

You want it darker, Leonard Cohen.
A little edit I made cause I’m obsessed by two things at the moment: this song, and Andor (I blame @tovezza for making me connect the two)
#i've a much longer vid planned with the whole song but for the moment i just managed to do this little snippet#cause i desperately wanted the 'i'm ready my lord' part#but now i need to do the rest#damn i've overthought this song way too much#andor#andoredit#cassian andor#luthen rael#you want it darker#leonard cohen

38 - Leonard Cohen - You Want It Darker (2016)
I'm about to show my whole ass here and say the only song that i know by Leonard Cohen is Hallelujah, and that i know that every single Christian cover of that song either changes the words and/or misses the whole fucking point of the song.
Let's get right into it.
You Want It Darker-
Oh shit, that VOICE, THO. Tom Waits with a side of bourbon honey.
This sounds like a dirge for the world and I love it. Slow and tired and doomed.
Treaty-
One of the things I do know about Leonard Cohen was that he has a fairly fraught relationship with religion, and this song is definitely among that idiom.
This is an old man, talking to his apparently-absentee god, scared of all the zealots around him.
On the Level-
Looking back on the couldas and the shouldas, and wondering what could have been, still kinda glad that you didn't, but still also kinda wishing you did.
"i was fighting with temptation
but i didn't wanna win,
A man like me don't wanna see
temptation caving in".
Leaving the Table-
A recurring theme of "getting out of the game", but let's be real, at this point Cohen had been a recording artist for over half a century. The man knew that he couldn't have too much time left and was definitely making his peace with it.
Basically a country song, with a lovely twangy guitar solo, and you can really hear the years in his voice on the last line.
If I Didn't Have Your Love-
I know it's probably not gonna happen, but i really want to hear that soft, gentle pipe organ in the back just open up and let it rip.
Otherwise with the light piano as well, it's a nice, soft song about how bad it feels to not be with someone you love.
Traveling Light-
Another meditation on the end of a long life.
It Seemed The Better Way-
And another meditation on religion and its corruption, how the walk isn't really being walked anymore.
Steer Your Way-
I like the almost bluegrass vibe to this one.
String Reprise/Treaty-
A beautiful continuation of the earlier song, wrapping up the album.
So... yeah, "the last album he ever recorded" might not be the best introduction to the man, kinda feels like starting on Kurt Vonnegut with his last few books: you're mostly getting an old, angry, tired man, looking and thinking back on a long life and all the glories and stumbles and missteps that went along with it.
That said, he has quite the way with words, and I'll absolutely be delving further into his earlier catalogue.
Favorite Track: You Want It Darker is one hell of a song and a great choice for the title.
Least Favorite Track: probably Traveling Light, but they're all very sad and very pretty, and it hurts and it sucks to choose a "least favorite" on an album that's clearly a very personal end of life endeavor, especially when he passed less than a month after it was released.

Quote
They’re lining up the prisoners
And the guards are taking aim
I’ve struggled with some demons
They were middle class and tame
I didn’t know I had permission
To murder and to maim
You want it darker
We kill the flame.
You Want It Darker - Leonard Cohen (lyrics)
