Achtung Baby!

That's where the pain comes in

That's where the pain comes in
Like a second skeleton Tryin' to fit beneath the skin
I can't fit the feelin's in

The memories come back empty

You're a tragedy starting to happen

Memory, some say, is fate's shorthand

Direct interference in a person's life does not enter our scope of activity, nor, on the other, tralatitiously speaking, hand, is his destiny a chain of predeterminate links: some 'future' events may be linked to others, O.K., but all are chimeric, and every cause-and-effect sequence is always a hit-and-miss affair, even if the lunette has actually closed around your neck, and the cretinous crowd holds its breath. Vladimir Nabokov, Transparent Things

You and Me

been staring down the barrel of a gun

Time speeds up when we grow older

"One of the seats of emotion and memory in the brain is the amygdala, he explained. When something threatens your life, this area seems to kick into overdrive, recording every last detail of the experience. The more detailed the memory, the longer the moment seems to last. 'This explains why we think that time speeds up when we grow older,' Eagleman said--why childhood summers seem to go on forever, while old age slips by while we’re dozing. The more familiar the world becomes, the less information your brain writes down, and the more quickly time seems to pass."

I don't have fond desires

days pass and this emptiness fills my heart

I must go on standing

Just another day and nothin's any good

The music video for this song was filmed at the Normandie Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico. When I was a kid I was fascinated by that hotel.

Money is the anthem

“Perhaps there are other bits of my life that would take on content, take on shadow, if only I read more and thought less about money.”
Martin Amis, Money

“Money doesn't mind if we say it's evil, it goes from strength to strength. It's a fiction, an addiction, and a tacit conspiracy.”
Martin Amis, Money

she reminded my muse of Lena Dunham (Mozart's Sister)

she reminded my muse of Cassie from Skins

Cohen was not directly involved in the writing of "Hope" but was given a writing credit by the band due to similarities in melody and lyrical pattern to his "Suzanne".
