While Cohen was writing Anthem it took him 10 to eventually complete the song , the Berlin Wall fell—on the same day, November 8th, that Donald Trump would be elected to the US presidency 27 years later.
But that year, , also saw a massacre of students in Tiananmen Square. Though Cohen was Jewish, he studied Zen Buddhism deeply, becoming a monk for several years, and was fascinated by other religious traditions. He was in a relationship with Rebecca de Mournay during many of the years he was writing it, and told an interviewer again, from the fan site that she had helped him through the worst doubts in writing the piece:.
I knew it stood for something clear and strong in my own heart. Ultimately, he stood by it fiercely. Here are the words in full: The birds they sing, at the break of day Start again, I heard them say. Yes, the wars, they will be fought again The holy dove she will be caught again Bought, and soul, and bought again The dove is never free. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Western world was ablaze with the euphoria of a blind faith that democracy was coming to the East.
Cohen, too, saw things differently. Ever the enchanter of nuance, he foresaw the complexity and darkness that this reach for light would unravel, and he captured it in this iconic and astonishingly timely song. It begins:.
A quarter century ago, Cohen speaks to our time with astonishing prescience — for any great artist is at bottom a seer in dialogue with eternal human problems — and tells Zollo:. I think the irony of America is transcendent in the song. That this is really where the experiment is unfolding. This is really where the races confront one another, where the classes, where the genders, where even the sexual orientations confront one another.
This is the real laboratory of democracy. So I wanted to have that feeling in the song, too. Using songwriting itself as a laboratory for democratic discourse, Cohen wrote several verses he chose to leave out of the final song.
He gives as an example a verse in which he explored the relationship between black and Jewish people:. First we killed the Lord and then we stole the blues. The AAA said in a statement to ABC News that its roster of arbitrators is "composed of independent arbitrators who have a range of subject matter expertise and experience and include lawyers familiar with construction disputes as well as industry professionals such as architects and engineers.
It said that less than half of arbitration cases proceed to an award before they're otherwise settled, and when they do, the homeowners are identified as the "prevailing party" a little more than half the time. Howard said his organization does not make any recommendations about arbitration to home builders, and told ABC News he did not know how many cases go into arbitration.
But it is a crucial issue for Americans who want their homes fixed, and its an issue that's likely to persist as more homes go up, faster than ever. And if you look at it entirely from that direction, then you could leave yourself open to some things that you weren't expecting.
