Ein besonderes Gute-Nacht-Lied. Von und für Leonard Cohen, der heute irgendwo da oben im Sternenhimmel über der Ägäis, ganz nah bei Hydra, neben Spetsai, seinen neunzigsten Geburtstag feiert. Das Video ist nach seinem Tod entstanden, gedreht auf Hydra, bei und in seinem Haus, in dem er von 1960 – 1967 lebte, und das heute seinem Sohn gehört. Kalinichta Leonard, καληνύχτα

I loved your face, I loved your hair
Your T-shirts and your eveningwear
As for the world, the job, the war
I ditched them all to love you more

And now you’re gone, now you’re gone
As if there ever was a you
Who broke the heart and made it new
Who’s moving on, who’s kidding who

I loved your moods, I love the way
They threaten every single day
Your beauty ruled me, though I knew
It was more hormonal than the view

And now you’re gone, now you’re gone
As if there ever was a you
Queen of lilac, queen of blue
Who’s moving on, who’s kidding who

I loved your face, I loved your hair
Your T-shirts and your eveningwear
As for the world, the job, the war
I ditched them all to love you more

And now you’re gone, now you’re gone
As if there ever was a you
Who held me dying, pulled me through
Who’s moving on, who’s kidding who
