Free Music Notes for Dear HeatherFree Music Review: Cohen Transcends the Moment with "Dear Heather"
Perhaps unique in modern musical storytelling, Leonard Cohen carries none of the face-twisting angst, outrage, or urgency infused in today's most lauded releases. While America turns to politically engaged artists to define our era, Cohen transcends this calling with "Dear Heather," a work steeped in the everlasting rather than in any transient moment. Cohen's ubiquitous comparison, Bob Dylan, unflinchingly tells us where we are; however, Cohen manages to unpretentiously suggest where we ought to be. Even when speaking to the scars of recent years in the patient song, "On That Day" Cohens speaks in an ageless voice. "Some people say / It's what we deserve / For sins against g-d / For crimes in the world / I wouldn't know / I'm just holding the fort / Since that day / They wounded New York." Each twang of Cohen's jew's harp speaks simultaneously to the frailty of human life and the great simplicity of the sublime. He presents 9/11 as an event of spiritual consequence, a tragedy uncurable by the political realm.
