Album Notes & Community Reviews
A remarkably tender and deeply personal composition chronicling the dissolution of a romantic relationship on the Greek island of Hydra. The driving acoustic rhythm and slightly discordant, swelling choral backing perfectly underscore the bittersweet, highly poetic emotional weight of Cohen's lyricism.
