(Written By Cohen, Performed In "Night Magic")
(Michael) I've counted what I have; it's not enough
And what I need I do not dare to say.
I've heard the soul is diamond in the rough
That pain must polish it to a bright display;
But mine is diamond dust that's blown away.
(Angels) I've counted what I have; it's not enough
And what I need I do not dare to say.
I've heard the soul is diamond in the rough
That pain must polish it to a bright display;
But mine is diamond dust that's blown away.
(Michael) And covered up the world with glittering --
Come back my soul, I cry, it won't obey,
And I'm the empty shape of everything ...
Come back my soul, come back to me I sing.
I'm sick with greed, with unrequited greed
And everyman becomes my enemy.
I need his woman, his career I need
For what he has, he's taken it from me
And what is mine he uses clumsily.
That pagan there pretending he can dance,
This Christian peddling his humility,
These carbons of Hitlerian romance,
These lovers photographed without their pants.
(Frank, Louis & Then, Doubt, sloppy mother mistress that you
Jean-Marc) Can't get rid of, who loves you more the more
You turn away, whose perfume's pity, who
Isn't feeling well, whose shoulder's sore --
Doubt comes generous as a dinosaur.
(Doubt) O love forget this metaphysic bit
About the lost world and the grieving heart
You really can't believe is haunting it;
While you brood here, other lovers part
Their lips, prettier than you, and just as smart.
(F, L & J-M) Doubt has all the reasons why you have to fail
And you agree, you've heard them all before.
Her heart is broken and her breath is stale
And you say, Tell me more my nightingale.
(Doubt) Give up your conquering plan, give up your plan.
Time makes a choir of our lonely art
And women know that since the world began
There never was, there is no leading man!
(F, L & J-M) Oo tell me more my nightingale.
(Doubt & Pinky) And women know that since the world began
There never was, there is no leading man.
(Michael) I've counted what I have; it's not enough.
And women know that since the world began
There never was, there is no leading man.
(F, L & J-M) Tell me more my nightingale.
(Doubt & Pinky) There's no leading man - no leading man!
Leonard Norman Eliezer Cohen (Montreal, 21 settembre 1934 – Los Angeles, 7 novembre 2016) è stato un cantautore, poeta, scrittore e compositore canadese di origine canadese-israeliana. Considerato uno dei cantautori più influenti del XX secolo, Cohen ha raggiunto fama internazionale con il suo stile musicale caratterizzato da melodie malinconiche e testi poetici che esploravano temi come la religione, l'amore, la perdita e la spiritualità. La sua carriera artistica è durata oltre cinque decenni, durante i quali ha pubblicato 14 album in studio, vendendo milioni di copie in tutto il mondo. Cohen ha iniziato la sua carriera come poeta pubblicando diversi libri di versi prima di dedicarsi alla musica negli anni '60. Il suo debutto discografico, *Songs of Leonard Cohen*, risale al 1967 e include brani diventati classici come "Suzanne" e "So Long, Marianne". Nel corso degli anni '70 e '80 ha esplorato nuovi generi musicali, collaborando con artisti come John Cale e i suoi album *New Skin for the Old Ceremony* (1974) e *Various Positions* (1984) hanno riscosso grande successo. Nel 2001 ha pubblicato l'album *Ten New Songs*, che ha segnato un ritorno alla forma musicale più tradizionale. Oltre alla musica, Cohen è stato anche un prolifico scrittore di romanzi, saggi e poesie. La sua opera letteraria è stata ampiamente riconosciuta e premiata. Nel 2016, poco prima della sua morte, ha pubblicato il suo ultimo album *You Want It Darker*. Leonard Cohen è ricordato come una figura iconica della musica e della cultura contemporanea, la cui eredità continua a ispirare artisti e appassionati di musica in tutto il mondo.

Do we want to define "I know you know me" a masterpiece? Yes, without a shadow of a doubt for at least two reasons. The first and most evident are the artists who interpret it: Caroline Spence and Matt Berninger, second for the deep and poetic text.
My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
