I smile when I’m angry.
I cheat and I lie.
I do what I have to do
To get by.

  In recent two years, i always play this song <In My Secret Life> in sometimes for myself. After i knew Leonard Cohen more and more, i knew he is a poet,writer more than a singer; i knew he is somebody although he isn't so popular ( see the album <Tower of Song>?); and i knew maybe <In My Secret Life> isn't his best song.

  But i don't listen other song of him. I always play this one, always listen this one. and i also sing this song, follow the melody. sing this song when i walk alone.

  When people say socalled GOOD, i think they mean JUST, no more, no less. In that time, only this one is already enough for me, why i should ask more. so the songs shared by friend stay at my hard disk, silently, waiting for another sunny afternoon when i want to listen some new.

  It looks this afternoon it's the time, so listen some music, input some words.

  someone wrote: 'The first time i listened the Leonard Cohen, it was unprepared.', so do i. The first song of him i listened is <In My Secret Life>. A empty, boring afternoon, a friend shared me this song, i was sitting beside the window in the office, the sunlight came through the window, splashed on me, made me feel lazy. There was a man's low, heavy voice in the earphone, sang, lazily, maybe i can't call it SING, it's more like a experienced man was muttering his stories.

  I like it when i first time listened it. This kind of music isn't the type that you can enjoy with others together, but suitable for playing when you stay alone or try to get your mind out from a noisy environment, listen carefully or not, touched by poetic lyrics, unwarily.
