"There's a Crack in Everything...

That's how the light gets in". 
(Anthem, Leonard Cohen)

An article on the Brain Pickings website, described Cohen as: "our patron saint of sorrow and redemption". 

The Brain Pickings article, There's a Crack in Everything, That's how the Light Gets In: Leonard Cohen on Democracy and its Redemptions, is based on Paul Zollo's interview with Cohen for Zollo's book, Songwriters on Songwriting, and it examines the meaning(s) in Cohen's lyrics. It's a timely article for these times.
