Für heute etwas ganz anderes: ein Lied
Es ist eines meiner Lieblingslieder von einem Künstler, den ich sehr liebe. Es scheint mir manches von dem auszudrücken, was auch durch mein Herz und meinen Kopf geht. Ihr könnt es hier auf YouTube anhören.
Das Lied heisst "Anthem", was so viel wie "Hymne" bedeutet. Geschrieben hat es Leonard Cohen, der 2016 gestorben ist.
The birds they sang
At the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don't dwell on what has passed away
Or what is yet to be
Ah, the wars they will be fought again
The holy dove, she will be caught again
Bought and sold, and bought again
The dove is never free
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
We asked for signs
The signs were sent
The birth betrayed
The marriage spent
Yeah, and the widowhood
Of every government
Signs for all to see
I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud
They're going to hear from me
You can add up the parts
But you won't have the sum
You can strike up the march
There is no drum
Every heart to love will come
But like a refugee
