“The Hills”, një tjetër këngë postmortum e Leonard Cohen

Artisti i adhuruar nga publiku dhe i shumëvlerësuar nga kritika muzikore e letrare, poeti dhe muzikanti Leonard Cohen, vjen sërish postmortum tek admiruesit e tij me këngën e re “The Hills”.

Videoja, me regji të Vincent Haycock, ndjek yllin e kinemasë franceze Issach de Bankolé në një udhëtim në të panjohurën.

Në rrugëtimin filmik bardhë e zi, protagonisti i lodhur nga bota në rrugët e Teksasit, Bankolé, kujton të kaluarën e tij, duke mishëruar njeriun që qëndron pas muzikës.

I ngarkuar me metafora vizuale enigmatike, “The Hills” është një blatim i bukur kinematik i vetë këngës në albumin (pas vdekjes) “Thanks for the dance” (Faleminderit për Vallëzimin) lënë trashëgim për adhuruesit e tij nga Cohen." /Erina Çoku/

Teksti këngës "The Hills" shkruar nga Leonard Cohen:

I can make the hills
The system is shot
I'm living on pills
For which I thank G-d
My animal howls
My angel’s upset
But I'm not allowed
A trace of regret
For someone will use
The thing I could not be
My heart will be hurt impersonally
She’ll step on the path
She’ll see what I mean
My will cut in half
And freedom between
For less than a second
Our lives will collide
The endless suspended
The door open wide
And she will be born
To someone like you
What I left undone
She will certainly do
I know she is coming
And I know she will look
And that is the longing
And this is the hook
I can’t make the hills
The system is shot
I'm living on pills
For which I thank G-d
My page was too white
My ink was too thin
The day wouldn’t write
What the night penciled in
But I know she is coming
And I know she will look
And that is the longing
And this is the hook
(I know she is coming)
And I know she will look
(that is the longing)
And this is the hook
I can make the hills
The system is shot
I'm living on pills
For which I thank G-d
I sailed like a swan
I sank like a rock
But time is long gone
Past my laughingstock
And I can make the hills
The system is shot
I'm living on pills
For which I thank G-d
