Welcome back to When Words Fail, Music Speaks—the podcast that turns the universal language of melody into a lifeline for anyone battling the highs and lows of life. I'm your host, James Cox, a self‑confessed “professional handicapped” who can't always find the words, so I let the music do the talking.In today's episode we sit down with Shaka Mitchell, the visionary behind the Come Together Music Project. Chaka has built a platform—and a companion podcast—that uses the right song to open doors words alone never could. From the moment we met in Nashville's vibrant music scene, we dove into the stories that prove a single track can bridge generations, heal wounds, and spark unexpected friendships.Together we explore:The childhood anthem “I Wanna Be Rich” that once fueled Shaka's ambitions.The classic duet “Ebony & Ivory” that cemented a bond with his mother.The timeless power of Leonard Cohen's “Hallelujah”, played at weddings, funerals, and everything in between.How listening to music together—rather than just talking about it—creates a miniature concert‑experience that unlocks vulnerability.Our favorite “no‑skip” albums, from Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life to Led Zeppelin IV.The personal playlists we turn to when we feel alone in a crowded room, and the songs we'd never brave listening to again.Whether you're a seasoned audiophile or someone who just pressed “play” on a TikTok sound that nudged you back into the light, this conversation reminds us why — and how— music becomes the bridge between strangers, lovers, first‑responders, mayors, and anyone who's ever needed a soundtrack for the soul.Grab your headphones, press start, and let the music speak.

The ending of a love relationship is often painful and dramatic. In “Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye,” Leonard Cohen has penned a poetic plea for a graceful, respectful breakup that honors the beauty of a dying connection, rather than dwelling on the pain, anger, and lingering regret of the ending. Cohen wrote the song in 1966 on a decrepit bed in the Penn Terminal Hotel in Midtown Manhattan. In 1967, Judy Collins, who became Cohen's good friend, recorded the song for her album  Wildflowers. The following month, Cohen's own version was released on his debut album, Songs of Leonard Cohen. Cohen described the song as “a moment of clarity in the middle of a love affair's end.” He also explained, “It's about acknowledging that love changes but doesn't truly die. The bodies may part, but the connection remains in the light and the words left behind.” While introducing “Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye” during his 1976 Live at Montreux performance, Cohen memorably said: “As you eastern metaphysicians know, just as from the darkest mud blooms the whitest lotus, so from the brownest hotel room you occasionally get a good song.” Playing heartfelt, beautiful songs like this one juices me up.

This week on the podcast, musician, songwriter, producer, and pastor David Gungor joins me for a conversation about creativity, spirituality, and the surprising relationship between craftsmanship and inspiration. Known for his work with The Brilliance and The Good Shepherd Music Collective, David reflects on art as a path of transformation, the role of play in the creative life, and why some of our most meaningful work emerges through community.   Through Art's Open Door, David shares Leonard Cohen's song "Suzanne," a work that continues to shape his understanding of beauty, patience, and the spiritual life. We explore what it means to slow down, embrace mystery, and trust that creativity is born not from necessity, but from love.   If you've ever wrestled with perfectionism, burnout, or the tension between making art and enjoying it, this conversation offers a refreshing invitation to rediscover wonder, play, and the mercy that meets us exactly as we are.   I also give you an update from the tour, so listen to the end!   Resources & Links Preorder Art Is How God Loves Us Suzanne by Leonard Cohen This Table is Yours by Good Shepherd Collective The Brilliance Good Shepherd Collective I'd love to hear about the works of art that have become thin places in your own life.

Rock music is supposed to belong to the young...but history tells us a different story. This time, we look at artists who refused to quit, even as the years passed and the industry insisted their time was over. From Deborah Harry breaking through with Blondie in her 30s, to James Murphy reinventing himself with LCD Soundsystem at 35, to Leonard Cohen becoming a global icon in his 50s, these are the musicians who proved that success doesn't always come on schedule. They've had to deal with ageism baked into the music business, the realities of grinding it out for decades, and the moments when persistence, timing, and reinvention finally collide. It's a reminder that while breaking through gets harder with age, it's never impossible...and sometimes, the best work comes later. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In his thirties, Leonard Cohen wrote novels, poetry, and the occasional song. These were his passions, and he hoped to make a living at them. Unfortunately, at this early stage in his career, Cohen realized these passions couldn't support him. Most people at this point would, with a heavy heart and great disappointment, turn to a more mundane and practical way to make a living. Not Leonard. He decided to earn his way with another one of his loves: Country Music. Along the way, Cohen had taught himself to play the acoustic guitar. It should be noted that most successful singer-songwriters begin to hone their musical talents from the ages of somewhere between five and twelve. Again, not Leonard. It should also be noted that the decade-long eruption of folk music from the early sixties to the early seventies had passed Cohen by, largely unnoticed. In other words, Cohen's chances of a successful music career were less than his chances in the literary arts. People laughed at his hubris. Now, here's the interesting part. I will refer to my experiences with my father to illustrate the point I'm going to make. My father was a very successful businessman. I once asked him, “What is the secret of your success?” In his typical manner, he gave me a short answer: “In my early thirties,” he said, “I found out that I had the goods.” Translated, that means my dad discovered that he had the talent in spades to build companies and make money. Okay, let's go back to Leonard Cohen. On his way to Nashville, Cohen stopped in New York. There, someone introduced him to Judy Collins. What are the odds of a no-name like Leonard Cohen meeting a rising star like Miss Collins? I'd say at least 28 million to one. Unless there is another factor at play. And here's what I believe. Because Leonard Cohen inherently “had the goods,” he met Judy Collins, and they became good friends. Eventually, Collins brought her friend's work to the attention of a record label. In time, Cohen became a household name and an internationally known recording artist. Leonard Cohen, whether he knew it or not, had a remarkable musical talent. He had what it took to be a star. And what I've discovered is that you can't force it. Yes, it takes hard work to hone your talent, but don't expect to be the 1% unless you are the 1%. At some point, one has to accept whether or not one has “the goods.” I dreamed of becoming a widely read author. It never happened, but I've mellowed about it. I enjoy writing my little books that are read by my little audience. I never dreamed of reaching a broad audience with my music. But that has happened. It takes an effort, and I enjoy it almost as much as writing. I guess the moral of the story is to enjoy what you do if you are following your heart, and most importantly, don't worry about the results. Chapters (00:00:11) - The Love of a Seaman

Hier sein, anwesend sein, auch wenn ich hadere und zweifele: Die Morgenandacht mit Siri Fuhrmann.

Durante dos años, desde 1994 a 1996, Enrique Morente y Lagartija Nick dieron forma al disco que en su día nadie entendió y que con el paso de los años, 30 ya, se ha convertido en una de las principales obras de la música española. Reunía los textos de Lorca, las letras y la música de Leonard Cohen, el cante jondo de Morente, el rock punk de los Lagartija y todo confluía en un poema a los muertos que Jesús Arias enseñó a Morente. ¿Cómo surgió el disco? ¿Por qué sigue siendo tan especial?

What if loan officers could explore their options without anyone knowing?Ellen Duncan, Founder & CEO of mLOOP and former CMO of AnnieMac Home Mortgage, joins Fobby on this week's episode of Laugh, Lend & Eat — and the conversation goes places we didn't plan.Ellen built mLOOP after sitting in a Discovery Day and realizing something was deeply broken about how recruiting works in this industry. LOs spending their most valuable resource — time — answering basic questionnaires that should've been covered long before they walked in the room. She left that meeting and told the COO: "This industry needs the NCAA transfer portal."What she built is being called the Tinder of mortgage recruiting. Anonymous profiles. Data-driven matches. LOs stay invisible until they choose to connect.But this episode isn't just about a platform.Ellen lost her husband Paul suddenly four years ago — when she was in her mid-thirties, married ten years, two daughters, thought she knew what the next fifty years looked like. She opens up about how grief cracked her open, why she sees that as a gift, and how losing Paul gave her a different relationship with risk.One of the most honest conversations we've had on this show.

Episode 390 of RevolutionZ asks would you rather speak to 2,000 people who already agree with you or 2,000 people who might vote for Trump? That choice sounds like a simple preference, but I argue it exposes something deeper: an entire theory of change. If we think a better world is unattainable, it's rational to aim for narrow wins, entertain friendly audiences, and avoid the hard work of persuasion and unity. If we think systemic change is possible, then we have to communicate to grow our numbers, de-atomize our efforts, and build real solidarity across differences.From there, I consider an engine of political paralysis: cynicism. I'm not interested in writing it off as laziness or moral weakness. More often than not, it is neither. Often it's a rational judgment based on different premises than mine and I hope also yours. It believes either (a) better institutions can't even exist, or (b) better institutions might exist but can't be won. Extrapolate from those beliefs and you get resignation. Each kind of doubt requires a different response from someone like me, and both demand more than slogans. We collectively need credible compelling shared vision and credible sompelling shared strategy that can link urgent immediate fights like stopping authoritarian drift and curbing ecological collapse to a longer trajectory of organizing. How do we most effectively convey that?But what happens if we turn this observation on me, you, and Revolution Z? After almost 400 hundred episodes, what's actually working and what's just repetition or literally unheard? That question connects to the media environment we're trapped in, where lies, scams, and algorithmic incentives push communicators toward clickbait and cheap degradation. If we reject  that route to communication, what do we emphasize instead? If we don't want to abet a "failure to communicate," if we we don't want to contribute to a "communication breakdown," then to organize, how do we communicate?To close the episode I offer some song lyrics and their approach to communication from John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Carcie Blanton, Joni Mitchell, and Leonard Cohen, as one  way to tell the truth without becoming part of the noise.But when talking or writing, not songs but prose, what might work better than famiiar well trod paths? Do you have ideas about that?Support the show

This week Jonathan is in celebratory mode—and no, it's not only because it's the festival of Shavuot, but because his beloved Arsenal finally won the Premier League, sparking a spontaneous tribal gathering of ‘marauding revellers' in North London. Meanwhile, Yonit and Jonathan unpack the volatile situation with Iran, and ask where President Trump's vague threats of a renewed strike are heading. Then, it's wall-to-wall condemnation for National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, whose grotesque 56-second video taunting Gaza flotilla detainees was a nightmare for Israel's defenders especially. And Jonathan describes his visit to the Nova exhibition in London, which offers a powerful, heart-rending glimpse of the human faces of the October 7th massacre and the shocking refusal of much of the world to look directly at what happened on that day.

Richard Young is a photographer who was once known as the “king of the paparazzi”. His portfolio is a who's who of some of the biggest stars in film, music, stage and popular culture from the past fifty years. From gatecrashing Elizabeth Taylor's party for Richard Burton's 50th at the Dorchester to later being invited to photograph her Damehood celebrations. He can count the first photographs of Paul Getty Jr. after his kidnapping as just one of his many scoops. He was born in Hackney to a Jewish family and his father ran a hosiery stall in Berwick Street market for more than sixty years. Richard has dyslexia and after being expelled from school at fourteen, he went to Soho and landed a job in fashionable clothes shop frequented by Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, David Hockney and Francis Bacon. A two-year stint in New York followed, working as a studio assistant at Electric Lady Studios, before he returned to London and found himself in a bookshop handed a camera and told to get on with photographing authors.

Carlo Ossola"Il fuoco nella pietra"La tradizione mistica modernaEdizioni Vita e Pensierowww.vitaepensiero.it«Interrogare il linguaggio dei mistici è una responsabilità delicata: dal momento che essi dichiarano di essere ‘inabitati' dalla Parola, accedere al loro dire non è un semplice esercizio di ermeneutica all'interno di generi letterari, di retoriche». Così inizia questo volume, che raccoglie e ricapitola gli studi di un cinquantennio sulla parola mistica moderna, condotti dal filologo e critico letterario Carlo Ossola. La mistica si presenta come un «dire senza soggetto», dove lo svolgimento si esaurisce per lasciare posto a un arreso smarrimento, secondo la lezione di Michel de Certeau. Carlo Ossola percorre quel dire e quel venir meno con delicato riserbo, all'ascolto di aspirazioni che si raccolgono nel solo respiro: il lascito silente dell'esicasmo; quell'esile traccia nel ritrarsi di ogni figura, di ogni prova. È l'esitante anelare al divino, un lambire per esserne assorbiti, nell'attesa – colma d'esilio – di una «fine senza fine».Carlo Ossola (Torino 1946) è filologo e critico letterario. È professore emerito al Collège de France, socio dell'Accademia dei Lincei e presidente dell'Istituto della Enciclopedia Italiana. Condirige le riviste «Lettere italiane» e «Rivista di Storia e Letteratura Religiosa». I suoi saggi, in cui la ricerca filologica è sapientemente intrecciata alla storia delle idee, si rivolgono alla cultura rinascimentale come ad autori contemporanei quali Ungaretti e Calvino, dedicandosi anche all'analisi dello spazio letterario e delle figure che lo popolano. Il ministero dei Beni Culturali lo ha nominato presidente del Comitato Nazionale per le celebrazioni dei 700 anni dalla morte di Dante Alighieri nel 202Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

You've almost certainly heard the story of Pattie Boyd, the beautiful blonde who had two great talents pining for her affection. But have you heard of Marianne Ihlen?From a quaint village in Norway, Marianne fell in love with Axel Jensen, the “Norwegian Jack Kerouac.” Together they journeyed to the Greek island of Hydra, where they were among the first of the island's ex-pat community. Just as their marriage fell apart, who should show up on Hydra but one of the greatest songwriters of all-time: Leonard Cohen. He will write several of his greatest songs about her, including “So Long, Marianne” and “Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye.” Her humility and kindness influenced Leonard across geographic borders, 3 albums, and beyond. This week on the Dolls Pod, we're bringing Marianne's story out from the shadows that her famous lovers' legends have cast. Plus, Emma and Abby chat about the wonders of Peppa Pig Land, weird allergies, and post-breakup haircuts. Some things really are canon events!“Marianne Ihlen: Bird on the Wire” is available now, wherever you stream your podcasts

Craig Newmark's career, in retrospect, looks like a series of deliberate subtractions: he kept Craigslist plain, stepped aside as CEO early on, gave his equity to his foundation, and now funds people and gets out of their way. His theory, arrived at gradually, is that recognizing your limitations and relying on your network is how you get more done. Tyler and Craig discuss why webpage design has gotten worse for 30 years, what Craig's "obsessive customer service disorder" taught him about human nature, why trusting people and maintaining a nine-second rule for scams aren't as contradictory as they sound, why roommate ads are a better way to find love, why Craigslist never added seller evaluations, why Leonard Cohen speaks to him more than Bob Dylan, what William Gibson's Neuromancer got right about the internet, why Jackson Lamb is now one of his role models, why large foundations lose accountability, what two painful Ivy League grants taught him philanthropy, what he gets from rescuing pigeons, the hard lesson he learned about confronting people who lie for a living, his favorite TV shows and movies, the one genuine luxury he can't go without, what he still needs to learn, and much more.

We're not all cyborgs yet! ATTT is in total lockstep with our good friend Joe Lavelle on the subject of a.i. - we hate it. We hate that it's being foisted on us, doing lasting damage in multiple ways, and we hate that for many, it's a shortcut to thinking - a way to delegate all thought to a bot. We'd rather be writing our own blurbs about this brand new episode, thank you very much. Top Ten Songs AGAINST A.I. is a bit high-concepty, but the basic jist is that these are songs about being wary of and resisting an upredictable and scary future, while also featuring songs that emphasize humanity over machinery.

Malcolm X was a true revolutionary, Michael X was an imposter.This con man realised that politics was a lot easier than poetry and rose to the top of the British Civil Rights Movement. All the while violently exploiting the Windrush generation he claimed to be fighting for.John Lennon and Leonard Cohen were his biggest fans. They donated thousands to Michael X's projects that never actually happened. The press hung on his every word, quoting him as the most powerful black man in Europe.By the time Michael X's ego unravelled, it was too late for socialite Gale Benson to escape from his web. They would both pay the ultimate price for his lies.--Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesYouTube - Full-length Video EpisodesTikTok / Instagram

Welcome back to When Words Fail, Music Speaks, the show where we explore how music can lift us out of the darkest moments and give us a voice when we're feeling unheard. I'm your host, James Cox, a self‑titled “professional handicapped” host who's spent a lifetime turning personal battles with depression into a platform for healing through song.In today's episode we sit down with the enigmatic creator behind Two‑Inch Voices—Jeffrey, the man who turned a childhood nickname (“two‑inch voices”) into a solo project that refuses to be boxed into any single genre. From his early days in an experimental metal outfit (2007) and a brief stint in an acoustic‑folk trio, through the gritty DIY releases of 2016‑2018, to his recent Halloween‑themed EP Q & A, Jeffrey shares the winding, often‑lonesome road of an independent artist.We dive deep into:Musical DNA: How blues legends (Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Blind Willie Johnson, Howlin' Wolf) and folk storytellers (Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan) shape his “folk‑rock‑blues” sound, and why he's drawn to the raw honesty of Delta blues.Identity vs. Band: Why he kept the project name instead of his own, what “two‑inch voices” really means, and how that ethos keeps the focus on the music, not the ego.The Independent Struggle: The reality of creating, recording, and releasing music without a major label—budget constraints, back‑catalog mysteries, and the endless quest for the perfect record.Future Plans: A treasure trove of unreleased rock‑based tracks, possible acoustic B‑side releases, and an ambitious dream of collaborating with artists from Trombone Shorty to Willie Nelson.Life Lessons: From jam‑sessions on the streets of New Orleans to confronting anxiety on stage, Jeffrey's story is a reminder that honesty, perseverance, and a little bit of coffee can carry you through any setlist.If you've ever felt stuck in a creative rut, wondered how a single song can become a lifeline, or just love hearing raw, genre‑bending stories from a true indie trailblazer, this interview is for you.Grab your headphones, hit play, and let Jeffrey's “honest” voice guide you through the highs, lows, and the ever‑twisting corridors of the music world—because when words fail, music truly does speak.

Even the best of us have bad days - including your favorite musicians. That explains how top-shelf artists can produce a clunker of a song. We try to forget these songs, explain them away as somebody else's fault, justify them as an important learning moment, and maybe even claim that they aren't so bad when we know they are simply terrible. In this week's episode of "How We Heard It," the hosts drill down to the worst of the worst by the best of the best - including terrible songs by the likes of The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, The Kinks, Leonard Cohen, Bruce Springsteen, Prince, Madonna, R.E.M. and many more. No one is spared as these sonic disasters are dissected. And a special shoutout is given to all the promising collaborations that were abject failures (including tantalizing pairings credited to the likes of David Bowie/Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney/Stevie Wonder). But don't worry. It's all done with love.

"Intuition doesn't seem to act aggressively." -Josh Ritter Ethan welcomes his friend, contemporary folk musician and novelist Josh Ritter for a conversation about creativity, inspiration, spirituality and art-making. They discuss where great ideas come from, how the "protocols" of practice influence both creativity and the spiritual path, and the meaning of relative and ultimate truth found within Josh's song "Truth is a Dimension (Both Invisible and Blinding)" off Josh's most recent album I Believe in You, My Honeydew. They also discuss the mental health of an artist, and how fatherhood can lead you to very mixed opinions of Disney movies. Josh Ritter is a renowned singer, songwriter, musician, artist and best-selling author. One of today's most thoughtful and prolific voices, he has released twelve studio albums and was named one of the "100 greatest living songwriters" by Paste Magazine. His newest album 'I Believe in You, My Honeydew' is out now. About his music, The Guardian has said: "Ritter's painstakingly simple but crafted songs establish his own identity in a terrain marked out by Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen." Two-plus decades into his celebrated career, Ritter has written music that has transcended generations including luminaries such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Bob Weir covering his songs.

Jano is one third of one of my favorite bands of all time The Wood Brothers. I have had the pleasure of seeing the band countless times and the honor of interviewing lead singer Oliver Wood on three separate occasions. The Wood Brothers are woven into the fabric of The Marinade and I am so grateful for the opportunities I've had to spread the word about their music. Jano is also one half of Rix, the father/son duo with his dad Luther. Legacy Vol. 1 is available wherever you listen to music. The fusion of Jano and Luther (who played in Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue and with Leonard Cohen among others) is a fertile alchemy. We caught up with Jano on The Wood Brothers' tour bus ahead of their show at The Plaza Live just down the street from me in Orlando, FL. Ric Robertson opened the show. Jordan Foley accompanied me. Twas a beautiful night. 

Richard Young is a photographer who was once known as the “king of the paparazzi”.His portfolio is a who's who of some of the biggest stars in film, music, stage and popular culture from the past fifty years. From gatecrashing Elizabeth Taylor's party for Richard Burton's 50th at the Dorchester to later being invited to photograph her Damehood celebrations. He can count the first photographs of Paul Getty Jr. after his kidnapping as just one of his many scoops.He was born in Hackney to a Jewish family and his father ran a hosiery stall in Berwick Street market for more than sixty years. Richard has dyslexia and after being expelled from school at fourteen, he went to Soho and landed a job in fashionable clothes shop frequented by Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, David Hockney and Francis Bacon.A two-year stint in New York followed, working as a studio assistant at Electric Lady Studios, before he returned to London and found himself in a bookshop handed a camera and told to get on with photographing authors.For the past fifty years, he has lived a nocturnal, high octane life of private jets, parties and exclusive events, eventually becoming as much a fixture in the world of celebrity as the people he photographed.Richard lives in London with his wife Susan. His photography gallery is in London and has visitors from around the world.DISC ONE: Rehab - Amy Winehouse DISC TWO: Just Walkin' in the Rain - Johnny Ray DISC THREE: Cosmic Dancer - T.

“I had never played a concert until I got a record deal with Sub Pop and they were like, ‘Well, you should consider going on tour,'" says Iron & Wine's Sam Beam. "I was like, ‘Oh shit.' It's a very atypical story, and it also made me suffer from a lot of imposter syndrome for a long time. I felt like I wasn't supposed to be there, that I had fooled someone along the way and they were gonna find out and the gig was gonna be up.” Some 24 years later, the gig is nowhere near up for Beam,  who's been releasing beautiful music as Iron & Wine ever since his 2002 Sub Pop Records debut, The Creek Drank the Cradle, and his latest, his 8th studio album Hen's Teeth is another wonderful collection of music. It came out in late February and we talk about the making of the album in episode 135, and we also delve into his earlier creative history, how he began in visual arts (drawing and filmmaking) before getting his first four-track, and the inspiration he got from artists including Sebadoh, Cowboy Junkies, R.E.M., Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen, among others.  We also discuss a future project he's excited to develop — a Broadway musical! You can hear more about that near the end of the interview. Iron & Wine will be playing shows in Hawaii later this month and then embarking on a full-scale North American tour in late April.

Have you ever watched, in awe, as a skilled gymnast or skater lifts off and completes a dizzying number of revolutions in less than a second before landing safely back down? That's how you may feel upon reading the great Leonard Cohen's urgent, dreamlike poem “I, 8” from Book of Mercy. In his telling of a man's fall “from his high place” into “disgrace”, Cohen sends us on a short, 206-word journey that seamlessly weaves together narration, fiction, meditation, devotion, and prayer.   We invite you to subscribe to Pádraig's weekly Poetry Unbound Substack, read the Poetry Unbound books and his newest work, Kitchen Hymns, or listen to all our Poetry Unbound episodes.   Leonard Cohen had an artistic career that began in 1956 with the publication of his first book of poetry, Let Us Compare Mythologies. He published two novels, The Favourite Game and Beautiful Losers, and 10 books of poetry, most recently Stranger Music: Selected Poems and Songs and Book of Longing.
