bike tory posted:I'd always interpreted it to be about dementia quote:Speaking with Interview Magazine, Hilmarsdóttir explained the song's meaning: "How we usually make our lyrics is, Raggi and I, sometimes we come up with stories or situations. That one is about a relationship. Sometimes we haven't wanted to give too much away. We like people to read their own things in the lyrics. I guess I could share it. It's about a couple and the husband passed away and it's from the conversation between the two of them. We don't know if she's going crazy or if someone's actually there. We've kind of been inspired by people that lived in my house. This old couple that lived there for 30 years. The woman passed away, so it was kind of different."

Stoatbringer posted:The excellent "Make me smile (come up and see me)" is a wonderful jolly, cheerful tune and I've often seen it used in adverts as such, but it's all about a bad band breakup and the lyrics are deeply bitter and scathing. Its used on a tv ad for viagra here in the UK. It’s ruined it!

Randaconda posted:a friend of mine recently listened to the actual lyrics of No Rain recently and was like "wtf, this isn't happy at all!" Just wait until people who got married to the Shrek song find out what Leonard Cohen was actually talking about  But No Rain, that takes some effort to misinterpret--if you realize the artist OD'd back in the he 90s. And are thus old as balls. Sigh.

And me I understand this totally, why that song Hallelujah, that Leonard Cohen did was heavily used as wedding fodder and subsequently forgotten. Going to me ex's twelve step meeting was my first introducement to the fact that a master of the craft had taken dirty filthy money from whoever made Shrek

So, honestly. I only have a vague notion of Leonard Cohen as " this guy that wrote some movies?" I couldn't even tell you WHAT movies they were. Though, I've probably seen them.

I do remember that anecdote about how Bill Murray took the Garfield: The movie job because he thought it was written by Cohen.

When I read "Shrek song that people might get married to" I thought of "I'm A Believer." Why the hell would anyone play a somber-rear end song like "Hallelujah" at a wedding?
