Free Music Review: Into This Furnace I Ask You Now to Venture
Hit: 5 Stars
The first time I heard this, a friend of mine played side B of the LP. I fought in the Old Revolution. Of course, we were very young, and we thought that we were winning. I can't pretend, I still feel very much like singing, as they carried the bodies away. I wish I could find the words to tell what this music meant to me, back then, in the day. Cohen was clearly an alchemist looking for a chemical marriage, an ancient starry-eyed pilgrim, a mystical gnostic. He had been down the river, and he was back with guidance for the rest of us tenderfeet who had already experienced sandbars and snags and were desperately confused about just what was going on. Over the years I have found that I prefer different songs now than I used to. The Partisan, even though he didn't compose it, fits in well with his overall ouvre. You know, he is just brutally frank. Like a beast with it's horns he has torn every one who has reached out to him.Cohen never struck me as really all that modern in his sensibilities. He evokes European cabarets, cigarette smoke and absinthe. He reminds me of Kurt Weill, Bertholt Brecht, Edith Piaf. His music is ghostly, from another time, mixing metaphors from many peripatetic traditions; somethig old and borrowed and blue. Bhagavan Das tells the story, in his autobiography, of how it was Leonard Cohen, in Crete, who put the idea into his head to run away to India..."If you wish to study a granfalloon, just remove the skin of a toy balloon." -- Bokonon
