Famous Blue Raincoat ~ by Leonard Cohen

Ariadne took this song to class and asked us to comment on the story, who the speaker was, and the addressee and so on..

  1. Like we discussed in class, the song is on a letter format. I think that he is writting to a frind that "distroyed" his marriage wit Jane. But this betrayal is not that clear in the narrative. I imagine that she had a relationship with 'Famous Blain raincoat' and in the letter the speaker is forgiving him of it.

  2. Beatifull, so so much beatifull.

    I still remember the time you talk to me about Leo Cohen, Cesaria Evora, Mariene Pierrot at that museum. It was on wednesday, thursday or another day. Evening, a nice day. Precious years to remember. I still remember that history about Barthes at Modern Art Museum, the laughters. Cines, cups of coffes, proparoxitones words, books -T.S Elliot, Whitman, Sexton.(Some precious dreams too).

    Now you is a English teacher, I am a Historian...
    "I'm glad you stood in my way".

    You'll never back to this time again. Me neither.
