about

Originally penned in late 2016 and successively completed during the Borgonyà exile of December 2016, it is a full-hearted homage to Leonard Cohen and his legacy, and more generally, the legacy and message artists leave behind in a world excessively pumped by indifference.

lyrics

What's the legacy of the master
when the master leaves the road,
that's the question that is rising
that's just all we need to know.

And what's the legacy of our sister,
when she goes off that door,
the sorrow beneath the shoes,
the remarks from the clouds

And the certainties have departed,
the legends disappeared,
their words set into stone
to savour this deadly world.

What is left is a land of weeds,
a land of plain dark vows, where
the message from the master
was never understood
What is left is a road of potholes, a road
without a light, where the message
from the master will ride unnoticed:
maybe it will get lost into the darkness
of our towers without songs.

What's the legacy of the master
when the soaked road ends, the lyrics in
my booklet, the music in my set

What's the legacy of the lover
when she leaves your empty room
that's the mystery you'd keep distant
that's the elephant on the door
