Blogovision 2016/My top-20 albums of the year - no.04: Leonard Cohen - You Want It Darker

If you are the dealer, I'm out of the game

If you are the healer, it means I'm broken and lame

If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame

You want it darker

We kill the flame

Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name

Vilified, crucified, in the human frame

A million candles burning for the help that never came

You want it darker

Hineni, hineni

I'm ready, my lord

Lyrics from You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen from his album You Want It Darker

Blogovision 2016/My top-20 albums of the year - no.11: The Veils - Total Depravity

Quiet as that secret you keep

Still in your heart as you sleep

Old as the lay of the land

Cold as all matters at hand

Long as the river of song

Mad as the world it moves on

High as the heavenly sea

Low lays the devil in me

Lyrics from Low Lays The Devil by The Veils from their album Total Depravity

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.9: Caribou - Our Love

Julia was in a hurry. She was a bit late for dinner with Dan and she did not want to keep her love waiting. It was the rare occasion getting him out of his recording studio and his music instruments, so she did not want to miss a beat. She knew he'd be tickled to see her carrying his latest album release, Our Love (yes, it was inspired by their affair, contrary to what the press was writing - she laughed inside her). And she had taken great care to match her skirt to the album cover's pattern - full of petals and colours. Much like their love was.
