Leonard Cohen: Old Ideas
May 25th, 2012 by gcunniff
“When Cohen calls this album Old Ideas, he means not just that these are the thoughts of a septuagenarian, but that he’s been turning over these cards for a long while: sex, love, God, and the way the three can be shuffled to relieve the pain of existence. The lyrics on Old Ideas reach for the stark power of prayers, hymns and religious riddles.” –Rolling Stone
