Music: A Lovelies’s version of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”

Canadian folk group The Good Lovelies are on a roll….if you haven’t heard them before, this is a good chance to hear them in a sweet version of the famous Cohen song:

"The agony of breaking through personal limitations is the agony of spiritual growth. Art, literature, myth and cult, philosophy, and ascetic disciplines are instruments to help the individual past his limiting horizons into spheres of ever-expanding realization. As he crosses threshold after threshold, conquering dragon after dragon, the stature of the divinity that he summons to his highest wish increases, until it subsumes the cosmos.. Finally, the mind breaks the bounding sphere of the cosmos to a realization transcending all experiences of form—all symbolizations, all divinities: a realization of the ineluctable void."
-- Joseph Campbell
