:P Yeah, I love the Socrates Quote too.. much. Once a man I really loved got something like that from a Harvey Danger song,and it reminded me of Socrates immediately. :P

Its Sartorial elegance, one of the greatest lyricists of all time.....arguably a prophet, along with Alan Greenspan *cough*. Well, at least he had the decency to admit that unregulated Finance Capitalism was fundamentally flawed. Whats that flying by my window? A squadron of FAT CAT CEO PIGS and "Venture Capitalists" en route to the Bahamas, which you are all kindly paying for!!!. Wake up people. Aye, that went doon well lol.

@ sara...."What does this song mean exactly?" Its all about self improvement lol....Very deep, it aint no paddling pool. Or would you prefer a Metaphysical explanation? The truth is NOT out there...The truth is that Socrates was right. "The Wise Man knows that he Knoweth not" *Socrates* "I love History, but can't we just all rewind?" *Me* ;)

sound is not that good but where the fluck did he get the lyrics from? Another breath taker like s express with theme from s express or joe cocker with talking back to the night.

This is one of the best pieces of music I ever,ever heard and there are no words (?) describing how wonderful it is. like Cohen in general I suppose - life, love,pain, hope...please, show some respect.

on the surface its a six minute dirge with instruments that sound like theyre from an 80s computer game and yet it works so well im guided by a signal in thre heavens, im guided by this birthmark on my skin, im guided by the beauty of our weapons - thats just mentally good

Leonard Cohen is a lyrical wizard, and an inspiration to all us old guys, Brendan.

I personally would take Berlin first, and _then Manhattan. Seems strategically more doable.
