by Leonhard Cohen

Fortunately, these are not copyrighted lyrics from a song.

-------------------------------------------------

Cohen wondered about his own unfinished songs. From Bowie to Warren Zevon, releasing a final album centered on mortality, and the final reckoning thereof, isn’t uncommon. But Cohen doesn’t know if he’ll have time.

“I don’t think I’ll be able to finish those songs. Maybe, who knows? And maybe I’ll get a second wind, I don’t know,” Cohen told Remnick.

His thoughts on the process seem clear, direct and businesslike.

“I’ve got some work to do. Take care of business,” he said. “I am ready to die. I hope it’s not too uncomfortable. That’s about it for me.”
