Leonard Cohen - Old Ideas album flac

Leonard Cohen, has always possessed a droll, self-effacing sense of humor. It's just of the typical Cohen topical standards on offer here: spiritual yearning, struggle, love, loss, lust, and mortality are all in abundance, offered with the poet's insight. He is surrounded by friends on Old Ideas.

It's difficult, albeit a little ill-mannered, not to regard Old Ideas as possibly Leonard Cohen's final recorded testament. There's a distinct valedictory tone to his customary musings upon life, love and the spirit, with one track titled "Amen" and another "The Darkness". But if it is to be his last communiqué, at least the old smoothie's going down swinging. Tell me again when the victims are singing, and the laws of remorse are restored," groans Cohen, and it becomes clear that these are the Old Ideas to which he's referring: the forgotten verities of ethical certainty, love and human fellowship abandoned en route to our quick-fix, n future.

Old Ideas is, in its own tender, smirking, Leonard Cohen-y way, a clever title.

Old Ideas contemplates mortality in the bitter light of failed romance. It fearlessly broaches emotional extremes while still dropping the wisdom of an elder who should know better. Courtesy of the artist. Leonard Cohen's new album, Old Ideas, comes out Jan. 31.
