„Dear G and William,<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n In my extended poem, \u201cThe Sick Bag Song\u201d, I wrote about Leonard Cohen and the effect that he had on me as a young boy when I first heard him sing.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cLeonard Cohen will sing, and the boy will suddenly breathe as if for the first time, and fall inside the laughing man\u2019s voice and hide.<\/em><\/p>\n The boy will grow older, and over time there will be other songs \u2013 not many \u2013 ten or maybe twenty in a lifespan, that stand apart from the rest of the music he will discover. He will realise that not only are these songs sacred, they are \u2018hiding songs\u2019 that deal exclusively in darkness, obfuscation, concealment and secrecy. He will realise that for him the purpose of these songs was to shut off the sun, to draw a long shadow down and protect him from the corrosive glare of the world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n …<\/p>\n “<\/p>\n „Occasionally people have asked me what those \u2018hiding songs\u2019 were. I have never revealed them in their entirety. Perhaps, I felt a strange ownership over them and that to release them to the world may constitute a form of betrayal. Do you ever feel like that about songs \u2013 that they were designed with you especially in mind, and that no one could ever begin to understand them in the way you do? My \u2018hiding songs\u2019 serve as a form of refuge for me and have done so for years. They are songs that I can pull over myself, like a child might pull the bed covers over their head, when the blaze of the world becomes too intense. I can literally hide inside them. They are the essential pillars that hold up the structure of my artistic world. There are hundreds of other favourite songs, of course, and one day maybe I can do a list of some of those, but not today. Today, I give you the \u2018hiding songs\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n G and William (and anyone else, for that matter), I\u2019d be interested to know if you have any \u2018hiding songs\u2019, and if so what they are. You know where to find me!“<\/em><\/p>\n Das waren Antworten auf die Fragen:<\/p>\n und<\/p>\n danach z\u00e4hlte Cave seine<\/p>\n 10 HIDING SONGS auf….
