Info zu Songs Of Love and Hate (Remastered)
It doesn't get darker than this. Though Leonard Cohen had already established himself as the doyen of doom with his first two albums, his third, Songs of Love And Hate, finds him kicking off the 1970s with the sharpest repudiation of the '60s peace-and-love / flower-power ethic the world had yet seen from the 'sensitive troubadour' corner of the music map.
Though it's not really a concept album, it does feel like a guided tour through one man's battle-scarred love life. The utter emotional degradation of "Avalanche", the suicidal frenzy of "Dress Rehearsal Rag", and the bitter regret of "Last Year's Man" all sound like stops on the same ill-fated journey.
The arrangements are wisely based around Cohen's world-weary voice and hypnotic acoustic-guitar patterns, with occasional orchestrations rising like dark clouds in the background.
The music on Songs of Love and Hate never overpowers the lyrics, and that's what makes it a great album. Cohen's words are delivered in a manner that makes you feel something without being dragged to a dark place. "Avalanche" is a song based on Cohen's poem "I Stepped Into an Avalanche," a cynical and stinging indictment of fake philanthropy, with notable lines like "You who wish to conquer pain / You must learn what makes me kind / The crumbs of love that you offer me / They're the crumbs I've left behind / Your pain is no credential here / It's just the shadow of my wound."
