Oh man, this is the first time I've listened to this song in years. It instantly brings me back to the first sunny days of spring 2003. I was 19 years old at the time and in my second year of university. I was addicted to Leonard's music at the time - it appealed to my perpetually melancholic state of mind and I found 'Recent Songs' such a warm album to listen to after a long depressing winter here in the west of Ireland. Such poignant memories. Anyhow, forgive this pointless reminiscing - it's late and I've had a couple of weissbiers 😄. Anyone else have nice memories of when they first listened to this song/album?
I played it my birthdayparty. It was special event made by me. All guest had some roles to play. It was was 2002 summer. I was young, second year in uni. I met a nice girl in uni.And I asked her to come to my birthday. I remember it was 01 in midnight. We were dancing together in my garden. Everyone else were sleeping. Quite soon we got married. And it is 2024. We are happily married. 3 children. This song has some... special vibe.
This is so nice to hear in the middle of the night. Leonard Cohen is Canada's songwriter and poet extraordinare. I'm glad I saw Leonard Cohen live. May he rest in peace. Cheers! ✌️🇨🇦
@@tom-ht3ju the record sleeve don't give the title of a poem but Leonard Cohen thank in it "the late Robert Hershorn, who, many years ago, put into m'y hands the book of the old Persian poets Attar and Rumi, whose imagery influenced several songs, especially The Guests and The Window". I hope the answer satisfy you.
The Guest House by Rumi This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes As an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond. - Jalaluddin Rumi, translation by Coleman Barks (The Essential Rumi)
Indeed. He is now and forever one of the sheep for which we count amongst the stars. To softly rest our weary hearts and minds as we mere mortals endure on.

I'am not sure but I think that this song is based on a classic iranian poem. I LOVED this song when I was a teenager.
what poem, if you dont mind?

The Guest House by Rumi
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
