In response to "Take This Waltz"

One of my favorites, and not just for the obvious reason.

There's a collection of Cohen covers out there called I'm Your Fan.

In response to "Suzanne"

Always loved this song and his amazing way of writing about life, love and beyond.

I heard him in the early '70s in Brooklyn the first time.

Going to listen to this later 😃❤️.
What a beautiful share for today.
Nothing like lighting up souls!

I knew this one as a poem before I heard the song, and even without the music, I always thought it was amazing. Religious or not.

In response to "Oct 29 Plot revision"

How long have you lived in Beijing and Los Angeles? Are there better choices? There are China Towns everywhere. I think of two I've visited: Toronto and Lima. Ancient books are portable; ancient knowledge even more so.

Regardless, can you make the setting detailed enough so that it feels authentic?

Just thoughts.

In response to "Oct 19 Plot complications"

Will China come to Wolf? Is the riddle worth solving? Is LA worth saving? Are the monsters the true heroes?

Just being contrary but turning things on their heads can be helpful.

In response to "Oct 18 Cultural setting"

The idea that old myths can be relived in modern times is so ... Chinese! Or Korean. Gumiho = nine-tailed fox. This kdrama is highly rated (8.4):

"My roommate is a fairy fox" isn't as well done, but... it made me watch BL genre drama:

You'll find the opening similar to what you describe in that history and reality meet. It's worth watching if you have the time. The music is a bit of an earworm, just so you know.

In response to "Who is Wolf Meyer, main character?"

That is a great pic! But I have a question about his weakness. Is he too "thrusting" or too "trusting"? I mean, there's a little bit of a difference.

Show me The Place

"Barrel of Monkeys"

[E]

Day 7

Leonard Cohen with Show Me the Place, 2012
on the album Old Ideas, 2012

It hit me hard last night. Hurricane Helene hit Florida in the US and a few WdC writers were caught in the middle. This song kinda reminded me of disaster and mayhem and suffering.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Show me the place where you want your slave to go
Show me the place, I've forgotten, I don't know
Show me the place, for my head is bendin' low
Show me the place where you want your slave to go

[Verse 2]
Show me the place, help me roll away the stone
Show me the place, I can't move this thing alone
Show me the place where the word became a man
Show me the place where the suffering began

[Bridge]
The troubles came, I saved what I could save
A thread of light, a particle, a wave
But there were chains, so I hastened to behave
There were chains, so I loved you like a slave

[Verse 1]
Show me the place where you want your slave to go
Show me the place, I've forgotten, I don't know
Show me the place, for my head is bendin' low
Show me the place where you want your slave to go

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
The troubles came, I saved what I could save
A thread of light, a particle, a wave
But there were chains, so I hastened to behave
There were chains, so I loved you like a slave

[Verse 3]
Show me the place
Show me the place
Show me the place
Mmm, mmm

[Verse 2]
Show me the place, help me roll away the stone
Show me the place, I can't move this thing alone
Show me the place where the word became a man
Show me the place where the suffering began
