21 Eylül 1934 Kanada doğumlu "Leonard Norman Cohen" yazar, şair, söz yazarı ve aynı zamanda müzisyendir. İlk çıkardığı şarkıları folk müzik kökenliydi ve bunları "Songs of Leonard Cohen" albümünde toplamıştır. Leonard Cohen 1987 yılında "Famous Blue Raincoat" isimli bir albüm daha çıkardı. 1990'da bir filmde çalan "Everybody Knows" isimli şarkısı onun genç dinleyiciler tarafından da tanınmasını sağladı. Beş sene boyunca "zen budist" olarak sessizliğe çekildikten sonra 2001 yılında "Ten New Song" isimli albümü ile tekrar müzik dünyasına döndü.

Cohen'in müziklerinde daha çok aşk, seks, bunalım ve din temaları görülür. Bu yüzden kendisi bir dönem "Rinzai Zen Budist Rahibi" ünvanı verildi ve anlamı "sessizlik" olan "Jikhan" ismini aldı.

Leonard Cohen Popular Problems Full Albüm Şarkı Sözü 

(Şarkı sözleri videodaki şarkı sırasına göredir.)

1) Slow 

I'm slowing down the tune
I've never liked it fast
You wanna get there soon
I wanna get there last
It's not because I'm old
It's not the life I led
I always liked it slow
That's what my mamma said

I'm lacing up my shoes
But I don't want to run
I'll get there when i do
Don't need no starting gun
It's not because i'm old
And it's not what dying does
I've always liked it slow
Slow is in my blood

I've always like it slow
I never liked it fast
With you it's got to go
With me it's got to last
It's not because I'm old
It's not because I'm dead
I've always liked it slow
That's what my mama said

All your moves are swift
All your turns are tight
Let me catch my breath
I thought we had all night
I like to take my time
I like to linger as it flies
A weekend on your lips
A lifetime in your eyes

I've always like it slow
I never liked it fast
With you it's got to go
With me it's got to last
It's not because I'm old
It's not the life I led
I've always like it slow
That's what my mama said

I'm slowing down the tune
I've never liked it fast
You wanna get there soon
I wanna get there last
So, baby let me go
You're wanted back in town
In case they want to know
I'm just trying to slow down 

2) Almost Like The Blues

I saw some people starving
There was murder, there was rape
Their villages were burning
They were trying to escape

I couldn’t meet their glances
I was staring at my shoes
It was acid, it was tragic
It was almost like the blues
It was almost like the blues

I have to die a little
between each murderous plot
and when I’m finished thinking
I have to die a lot

There’s torture, and there’s killing
and there’s all my bad reviews
The war, the children missing, lord
It’s almost like the blues
It’s almost like the blues

Though I let my heart get frozen
to keep away the rot
my father says I’m chosen
my mother says I’m not

I listened to their story
of the gypsies and the Jews
It was good, it wasn’t boring
It was almost like the blues
It was almost like the blues

There is no G-d in heaven
There is no hell below
So says the great professor
of all there is to know

But I’ve had the invitation
that a sinner can’t refuse
It’s almost like salvation
It’s almost like the blues
It’s almost like the blues

3) Samson In New Orleans 

You said that you were with me
You said you were my friend
Did you really love the city
Or did you just pretend?
You said you loved her secrets
And her freedoms hid away
"She was better than America,"
That's what I heard you say

You said, "How could this happen?"
You said, "How can this be
The remnant of dishonor
On the bridge of misery?"
And we who cried for mercy
From the bottom of the pit
Was our prayer so damn unworthy
The sun rejected it?

So gather up the killer
Get everyone in town
Standing by those pillars
That may take this temple down
The king so kind and solemn
He wears a bloody crown
So stand me by that column
That may take this temple down

You said, "How could this happen?"
You said, "How can this be?
The chains are gone from heaven
The storms are wild and free."
There's other ways to answer
That suddenly is true
I'm blind with death and anger
And that's no place for you

There's a woman in the window
There's a bed in tinsel town
I'll write you when it's over
Let me take this temple down
You said you loved her secrets
Her freedoms hid away
She was better than America
That's what I heard her say

4) A Street

I used to be your favorite drunk
Good for one more laugh
Then we both ran out of luck
And luck was all we had
You put on a uniform
To fight the Civil War
I tried to join but no one liked
The side I’m fighting for

It wasn’t all that easy
When you up and walked away
But I’ll save that little story
For another rainy day
I know the burden’s heavy
As you wheel it through the night
Some people say it’s empty
But that don’t mean it’s light

You left me with the dishes
And a baby in the bath
And you’re tight with the militias
You wear their camouflage
I guess that makes us equal
But I want to march with you
An extra in the sequel
To the old red-white-and-blue

Baby don’t ignore me
We were smokers we were friends
Forget that tired story
Of betrayal and revenge
I see the Ghost of Culture
With numbers on his wrist
Salute some new conclusion
Which all of us have missed

I cried for you this morning
And I’ll cry for you again
But I’m not in charge of sorrow
So please don’t ask me when
There may be wine and roses
And magnums of champagne
But we'll never know
We'll never ever be that drunk again

The party's over
But I've landed on my feet
I’ll be standing on this corner
Where there used to be a street

The party's over
But I've landed on my feet
I’ll be standing on this corner
Where there used to be a street

The party's over
But I've landed on my feet
I’ll be standing on this corner
Where there used to be a street

5) Did I Ever Love You

Did I ever love you
Did I ever need you
Did I ever fight you
Did I ever want you
Did I ever leave you
Was I ever able
Or are we still leaning
Across the old table

Was it ever settled
Was it ever over
And is it still raining
Back in November
The lemon trees blossom
The almond trees wither
Was I ever someone
Who could love you forever

Was it ever settled
Was it ever over
And is it still raining
Back in November
The lemon trees blossom
The almond trees wither
Its spring and its summer
And its winter forever

Did I ever love you
Does it really matter
Did I ever fight you
There’s no need to answer
Did I ever leave you
Was I ever able
And are we still leaning
Across the old table

Did I ever love you
Did I ever need you
Did I ever fight you
Did I ever want you
Did I ever leave you
Was I ever able
Are we still leaning
Across the old table



6) My Oh My

Wasn't hard to love you
Didn't have to try
Wasn't hard to love you
Didn't have to try
Held you for a little while
My oh My oh My
Held you for a little while
My oh My oh My

Drove you to the station
Never asked you why
Drove you to the station
Never asked you why
Held you for a little while
My oh My oh My
Held you for a little while
My oh My oh My

All the boys were waving
Trying to catch your eye
All the boys were waving
Trying to catch your eye
Held you for a little while
My oh My oh My
Held you for a little while
My oh My oh My

Wasn't hard to love you
Didn't have to try
Wasn't hard to love you
Didn't have to try
Held you for a little while
My oh My oh My
Held you for a little while
My oh My oh My

7) Nevermind

The war was lost
The treaty signed
I was not caught
Across the line
I was not caught
Tho many tried
I live among you
Well-disguised

I had to leave
My life behind
I dug some graves
You'll never find
The story's told
With facts and lies
I have a name
But never mind

Never mind
Never mind
The war was lost
The treaty signed
There's Truth that lives
And Truth that dies
I don't know which
So never mind


Your victory
Was so complete
Some among you
Thought to keep
A record of
Our little lives
The clothes we wore
Our spoons our knives

The games of luck
Our soldiers played
The stones we cut
The songs we made
Our law of peace
Which understands
A husband leads
A wife commands

And all of this
Expressions of the
Sweet indifference
Some called love
The high indifference
Some call fate
But we had names
More intimate

Names so deep
And names true
They're blood to me
Dust to you
There is no need
And this survives
There's Truth that lives
And Truth that dies

Never mind
Never mind
I leave the life
I left behind
There's Truth that lives
And Truth that dies
I don't know which
So never mind

I could not kill

The way you kill
I could not hate
I tried
I failed
You turned me in
At least you tried
You side with them whom
You despise

This was your heart
This swarm of flies
This was once your mouth
This bowl of lies
You serve them well
I'm not surprised
You're of their kin
You're of their kind

Never mind
Never mind
I had to leave my
Life behind
The story's told
With facts and lies
You own the world
So never mind

Never mind
Never mind
I live the life
I left behind
I live it full
I live it wide
Through layers of time
You can't divide

My woman's here
My children too
Their graves are safe
From ghosts like you
In places deep
With roots entwined
I live the life
I left behind


The war was lost
The treaty signed
I was not caught
Across the line
I was not caught
Tho many tried
I live among you
Well-disguised

8) Born In Chains

I was born in chains
But I was taken out of egypt
I was bound to a burden
But the burden it was razed
Lord, I can no longer
Keep this secret
Blessed is the name
The name be praised

I fled to the edge
Of the majesty of sorrow
Her suit by the riders
Oh, the cruel and dark regime
But the waters parted
And my soul crossed over
Out of Egypt
Out of Pharaoh's dream

Word of words
Immeasurable measure
Blessed is the name
The name be blessed
Written on my heart
In burning letters
That's all I know
I cannot read the rest

I was idle against my soul
When I heard you could use me
I followed very closely
But my life remained the same
But then you showed me
What you had been moved
In every atom
Broken his name

I was alone on the road
And your love was so confusing
All my teachers told me
I had myself to blame
But in the grip of
Sensual illusion
A sweet unknowing
Unified the name

Word of words
Immeasurable measure
Blessed is the name
The name be blessed
Written on my heart
In burning letters
That's all I know
I cannot read the rest

I've heard the soul unfolds
In the chambers of its longing
And the bitter liquor sweetens
In the hammer cup
And all the ladders of
Of the night of honor
Only darkness now
To lift the longing up

Word of words
Immeasurable measure
Blessed is the name
The name be blessed
Written on my heart
In burning letters
That's all I know
I cannot read the rest

9) You Got Me Singing

You got me singing
Even though the news is bad
You got me singing
The only song I ever had

You got me singing
Ever since the river died
You got me thinking
Of places we could hide

You got me singing
(Singing,) even tho the world is gone
You got me thinking
(Thinking) that I'd like to carry on

You got me singing
(Signing,) even tho it all looks grim
You got me singing
(Singing) the Hallelujah hymn

(Singing that Hallelujah hymn)

You got me singing
Like a prisoner in a jail
You got me singing
Like my pardon's in the mail

You got me wishing
Our little love would last
You got me thinking
Like those people of the past

You got me singing
(Signing,) even tho the world is gone
You got me thinking
(Thinking that) I'd like to carry on

You got me singing
(Singing,) even it all went wrong
You got me singing
(Singing) the Hallelujah song
