One thought on “Video: Deconstructing The Meaning Of ‘Avalanche’ By Leonard Cohen”
Really happy to have found this video! Thanks for covering this gem of a song. Many people find it dark, depressing. I used to feel that way, too – until, after many years, I suddenly heard it much differently. I like how you see a spiritual side in it. I think this aspect is what makes the song so powerful. It touches the soul directly, while the rational mind tries to make sense of it. To me, it is the voice from within, the God-in-us, that is waiting to be heard, trying to guide the human seeker who is full of misunderstandings.
