Coil - Who By Fire

[@violett9581]

Man what I listened to when I was 14 Definitely needed help no one was there to provide. Glad I survived and got treatment The song is infinitely beautiful though

[@AntiMusick]

you can here Mark Almond as backing vocals in this song.

[@aejlindvall]

A very interesting cover. I love Cohen, by this adds a whole different layer to the haunting and almost divine lyrics.

[@kpeace11]

The lyrics are based on a Jewish prayer en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unetanneh_Tokef

[@aejlindvall]

Peace Kramer Oh right! I think I've heard that long time ago, but forgotten it. Thanks!

[@muphoenix7908]

Peace Kramer I interpreted as being based on a popular Hua Tou / hwadu "Who am I?" Leonard Cohen had a lot of experience with Zen, for example. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hua_Tou

[@kpeace11]

Mu Phoenix​ I don't know about Leonard's Cohen experiance with Zen, but I do know he is Jewish, and a descendent of the preist line (Cohen). So I think it is safe to assume that it is based on his Jewish heritage.

[@muphoenix7908]

Peace Kramer Not really because he practiced with Rinzai Zen teacher Sasaki and was ordained as a monk for a long time. The Hua Tou is used to awaken one to the illusoriness of individual self (i.e., the "I-me-mine"). The way he keeps repeating and inquiring into the Hua Tou "Who am I?" is very Buddhist.

@MayaMeows Thanks for rubbing it in! Seriously though, I bet they were amazing. Glad you got to enjoy it. Great Shows are worth living for...Love those unforgettable nights. Feel the same about my nights seeing Crash Worship.

[@gartho009]

[@RogerPainter]

Which of their albums is this from? I was always an industrial fan but saved Coil for last. Glad now I did cause I'm not burnt out and they are new 2 me. YEAH!!!!

[@archaist]

@transceiverfrequency my thought exactly

[@yougrg]

Thanks for posting this,this is my favorite album of all time. I have it on vinyl, but can't find it on c.d. or mp3.I would be forever in your debt if you could post"The Anal Staircase".
