Leonard Cohen afterworld

Listening to itunes on shuffle. My fun game when I can't make up my mind on what I want to hear but one I rarely play because shuffle has a strange mind of it's own.

Pixies to U2 to No Motiv to Ben Folds to Ween to M.I.A. to Nirvana. As Kurt's belting out "i have very bad posture" I realize yes me to. And then maybe for the first time actually listen to the lyrics of Pennyroyal Tea... really listen

"Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally
I'm so tired I can't sleep"

A Leonard Cohen afterworld now there's an idea... deep sigh with a smile.
