So on a complete tangent, your background picture is taking me back to our discussion on Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. We were interpreting it with slight variations through Judaic and Christian lenses respectively. Since then I've occasionally fantasizes about his input as its one of my favorite songs by him. Anyway, Leonard just played recently and a good friend I see a lot of shows with (his cousin is in a pretty famous LA band) was lamenting how his cousin in said band saw L play and had dinner with him afterwards...and had she known he was into it we could have easily gone too. We were groaning. I'd have definitely asked him his thoughts. So close :)
The question is what verses does he leave out? when he does it live.
And why does he leave them out? What factors? I have to imagine that he views live performances as a chance to deliver the latest version of the living documents that are his poems. Edit: also, you always have the most aesthetic visualizations for your data...
I hear sometimes he makes up new ones there is something like a million verses to that song.
