In een wereld die versnelt, is wachten een daad. Geen passiviteit, maar een bewuste vorm van leven. 'Wachten. Een levenshouding', het nieuwe boek van Dirk De Wachter, is een neerslag van ideeën, gevoelens en verhalen over het wachten en de vele betekenissen die erbij horen: in ziekte, rouw, je carrière, de liefde en het geloof. Over niet kunnen wachten, leren wachten en wachten zonder verwachting. En ook over Bernard Dewulf, Charles Bukowski en Leonard Cohen.

Göran Tunström: Den fantasi vi kallar verkligheten

Vad är skillnaden på saker som hänt och sådant man drömt? På liv och litteratur? Maria Küchen ser gränserna upplösas hos Göran Tunström. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Det finns ingen skarp gräns mellan fantasi och verklighet. Bilderna jag har av mina närmaste är inga exakta avtryck av människorna de är – mina minnen och känslor lägger till och drar ifrån. Och varje roman är ett mikrokosmos där författaren väver ihop fantasi och erfarenhet tills det faktiskt blir ointressant vad som har ”hänt på riktigt” och inte.Det blir väldigt tydligt när man närmar sig författaren Göran Tunströms liv och verk. Många förknippar honom med romanen ”Juloratoriet” från 1983. Denna släktkrönika över tre generationer med en genialt hänförande blandning av fantasi och verklighet, vann hela svenska folkets hjärtan.Någon har kallat den ”den sista litterära lägerelden”. Sedan dess har knappast något skönlitterärt verk i Sverige samlat människor på samma sätt. Unga och gamla, rebeller och stofiler, kulturelit och kroppsarbetare – alla slog sig ner kring ”Juloratoriet”.När den kom var jag 22 år. Ett decennium senare, som färsk författare, blev jag krönikör i tidskriften Metallarbetaren. Det var även Göran Tunström. Vi möttes ett par gånger tack vare det, men jag vågade knappt säga ett ord till denna legendar. Och nu är det för sent.Tunström hade svagt hjärta och lungcancer efter decennier av kedjerökning. I januari år 2000, knappt 63 år gammal, på en middag med vänner, föll han ihop utan förvarning och dog helt stilla. Han blev nästan tio år äldre än sin pappa, vars svaga hjärta han hade ärvt. Förlusten av fadern i barndomen går sedan som ett mörkt stråk genom liv och verk. Den innebar också att han miste sitt hem.Pappa Hugo hade varit präst i värmländska Sunne. Efter hans död fick familjen inte stanna kvar i prästgården. Från att ha bott luftigt och vackert, hamnade änkan Rosa och hennes fyra barn i ett kyffe till lägenhet. Kanske skapade det en rotlöshet hos Göran Tunström som senare fick honom att resa och bo världen över – den grekiska ön Hydra, Latinamerika, Indien, New York. Men vem vet?Det är bara spekulationer. För att skriva någons biografi behöver man oundvikligen fläta ihop spekulationer och fakta. Det kräver ett särskilt handlag. Kanske behövs en skönlitterär författare – någon som kan skapa en levande berättelse, men utan att förvanska. Som Lars Andersson. Under 20 års tid närmade han sig systematiskt vännen och kollegan Tunströms liv och verk.Ur ett rikt och rörigt stoff förlöser han berättelsen om en människa han kände, men som ingen av oss kan lära känna helt. Den 800-sidiga biografin ”Försök med ett liv” gestaltar en verklig person som jag drömmer fram medan jag läser. Boken bygger bland annat på sexton fullskrivna anteckningsböcker som Lars Andersson hittade bland efterlämnat material. I dessa skrivhäften är det inte alltid tydligt om Tunström har noterat saker som hänt eller saker han drömt.Anteckningarnas trådar vävdes in i verket – ett trettiotal volymer med poesi och prosa, utgivna mellan 1958 och 2003. Göran Tunström var en litterär gigant. Första steget i raketen som lyfte honom mot stjärnorna var generationsromanen ”Maskrosbollen”. Den gavs ut 1962 när han var tjugofem. Hans jämnåriga älskade den. Fjorton år senare kom den självbiografiska ”Prästungen” – med den fick han en större publik. Innan ”Juloratoriet” kom och förändrade allt.Boken utspelar sig liksom flera av hans romaner i Sunne. Där bodde inte Göran Tunström som vuxen. När han inte var på resa höll han till i Stockholm och på ön Koster i Bohuslän. Men i Juloratoriet blev Sunne hans litterära hemmaplan, ett unikt landskap befolkat av människor ur både verkligheten och fantasin – ofta sammanflätade i samma gestalt.De påminner om något, dessa romanfigurer. Jag kommer att tänka på kändisar. Också de är fantasifoster, även om det finns en okänd människa av kött och blod någonstans bortom föreställningarna som mediernas berättelser skapar.Ibland blir kändisar folks låtsaskompisar eller förälskelser. Det kallas parasociala relationer, detta att fantisera fram en personlig gemenskap med människor som inte vet att man finns. Författare och artister flätas ofta in i parasociala förbindelser eftersom allmänheten har en så intim relation med deras verk. Och verket är förstås lika mycket släkt med sin författare som barn och föräldrar – men något pålitligt avtryck av upphovspersonen blir det aldrig. Det har ett eget liv.Göran Tunströms historia är för alltid sammanbunden med Leonard Cohens. Inte bara för att de var vänner som tillbringade viktiga perioder tillsammans på Hydra, utan också för att Cohen var så berömd. Även de mest distanserade av oss fascineras av det. Vän med världsstjärnan Cohen – wow! Det är rätt tramsigt, men de här männens kändisskap är åtminstone tätt förbundet med ett skapande av vikt.Cohens sånger har påverkat mig starkt, och Göran Tunströms böcker drog mig in mot litteraturen. Utan honom och en handfull andra förebilder hade jag kanske aldrig blivit en skrivande människa.Deras verk ger lite mer glans åt min vardag. Här sitter jag nu i en fåtölj med en kopp kaffe och datorn i knät och fantiserar om Tunström och Cohen, som på sextiotalet på Hydra delade skrivbord. Utsnittet ur deras gemensamma verklighet får ett heligt skimmer, Grekland är ju fantastiskt och skapande kan vara underbart.Dock inte alltid. Tunströms kamp med författandet var smärtsam ibland, och han hade perioder när han inte kunde skriva alls. När han kom ut ur en av dem, efter ”Juloratoriet”, blev det en nyhet på Rapport.Det var inte bara genom Cohen som Tunström trädde in i gränslandet mellan fantasi och verklighet i det allmänna medvetandet. På höjden av sin bana var han och konstnären Lena Cronquist verkligen kändisar – ett power couple i svenskt kulturliv. Hon skymtar i hans böcker, han avbildas i hennes målningar. Det är konst som liv och liv som konst, men den som fastnar i verklighetsbakgrunden missar det väsentliga: Kraften i verket som just någonting skapat. I det påhittade finns en autenticitet som vår tid tycks ha allt svårare att uppfatta.Verken är platser där dröm och verklighet möts fullt ut – precis som i var och en av oss, varje dag, hela tiden. Och ett konstnärligt verk, precis som livet, tillåter förklädnader. I ”Juloratoriet” smyger pojkarna Sidner och Splendid ut i natten och möter Selma Lagerlöf. Hon dyker upp ibland i Tunströms romaner, ännu en värmländsk litterär gigant, halvt verklig, halvt ihopdrömd. Hon kommer i vagn, och hon piskar sina hästar. ”Varför slår tant på hästarna så?” frågar pojkarna, och hon svarar: ”Det är för att ingen skall tro att det är jag.”Maria Küchenförfattare, kritiker och essäist Litteratur om Göran TunströmLars Andersson: ”Göran Tunström: Försök med ett liv”Birgitta Holm: ”Vår ljusaste tragiker.

La sortie de Sur un air de blues avec Hugh Jackman et Kate Hudson va remettre le couvert sur le répertoire d'un des plus grands artistes pops américains, Neil Diamond. Ecrit et réalisé par le New Yorkais Craig Brewer, un disciple de Quentin Tarantino genre “j'assume ma passion référence pour le vintage”, le film raconte l'histoire vraie de deux artistes oubliés avant d'avoir été connus qui vont connaître le succès en faisant des covers de l'homme aux 50 tubes. Ça vous étonne, hein ? Et pourtant, c'est le cas, si on a surtout l'image d'un crooner, celui de Jazz Singer, un album qui a rencontré un succès considérable au début des années 80, Neil Diamond à ses débuts, est catalogué pop rock. Dans la deuxième partie des années 60, on le classe avec les Simon & Garfunkel et Leonard Cohen. On l'a oublié mais Neil Diamond a alors aligné un nombre impressionnant de tubes qui sont devenus immortels, dans leur version originale ou grâce aux artistes qui l'ont repris. Allez au hasard, on commence par cet incontournable, dans le Pulp Fiction de Tarantino … puis le fameux Believer popularisé par les Monkees, je m'en voudrais d'oublier le Song Sung Blue qui vient de donner son titre original au film … et enfin celle-ci dont UB40 a livré une version reggae 15 ans après, on était dans les années 80. Et si Neil Diamond a été chanté par tout le monde, de Frank Sinatra à U2, en passant par Joe Dassin et Elvis Presley, il a aussi donné vie à des chansons françaises dans le monde anglo-saxon comme celle de Jacques Brel … ou encore Gilbert Bécaud … Et comment l'oublier, Neil Diamond est à l'affiche de la dernière du groupe The Band de Bob Dylan en 1976, aux côtés d'Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchell ou encore Ron Wood des Rolling Stones, devant les caméras de Martin Scorsese, ça s'appelle The Last Waltz, et c'est à voir, c'est du patrimoine aujourd'hui. Enfin, je vous mets au défi de ne pas trouver dans la maison (salon, bureau, grenier) d'un ami ou membre de votre famille, un exemplaire du fameux Jonathan Livingstone Seagull, la B.O. du film signée et chantée par Neil Diamond. Tenez-vous bien, il s'en est vendu 200.000 rien qu'en Belgique durant les années 70, et après. E-Nor-Me !Sûr qu'on va écouter du Neil Diamond, en mode folk rock années 60 et 70 ou crooner, cet hiver, c'est une occasion unique de le redécouvrir, son dernier retour fracassant date des années 2000 avec l'immense succès de son album acoustique 12 songs. L'artiste s'est retiré de la vie publique il y a quelques années, annulant une tournée mondiale, après avoir fait part de sa maladie de Parkinson. Mais son catalogue folk rock, pop, crooner et symphonique est toujours aussi présent, comme en témoignent les 135 millions d'albums qu'il a vendus au cours de l'âge d'or du vinyle et de la cassette.

Leslie “Lulu” Sherman opened Still Gallery with a reception on November 15th - which happened to be a rain-drenched evening, and yet she packed the place for the inaugural exhibit, "How the Light Gets In" with four female artists: Sherman, Emily Thomas MaHarry, Stephanie Hubbard and JoJo Alderson, based on their exploration of light - referencing Leonard Cohen's son. Sherman's portraits stop you in your tracks — luminous, intimate, and rendered in charcoal with a precision that feels almost like quiet revelation. In this episode of Ojai Talk of the Town, we sit down with the artist behind Ojai's new Still Gallery to explore her creative journey from New Orleans to NYU Tisch to the film world, and finally to the deeply interior practice of portrait drawing.Lulu talks about what drew her away from directing and screenwriting and toward the stark honesty of charcoal, how she approaches capturing a person's presence on paper, and the story behind her striking portrait of Joan Didion. We also dig into the vision of Still Gallery's inaugural exhibition, How the Light Gets In, and how Ojai's landscape and community are shaping her next chapter, NYC's downtown music scene in the early aughts, Creole culture and much more. We did not talk about maple-beech forest canopies, Brazilian gold-mine dredges, or the geological formations of the Kalahari Desert.If you love art, storytelling, or the alchemy that happens when an artist finds the medium that finally fits, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

Welcome to A Change Question — a special mini-series from The Inner Game of Change.In each short, solo episode, I bring you one question worth sitting with — the kind that can spark both personal and professional shifts.  There are moments in life when a change that once felt right begins to feel small. It has shaped us, stretched us, and carried us for a while. Then, almost quietly, we realise we have moved beyond it.In this short, reflective episode, Ali explores the question: How do I know when I have outgrown this change?Drawing on Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist, the words of Leonard Cohen, the insight of Toni Morrison, and examples from The Lord of the Rings and Little Women, this episode looks at the deeper layers of growth and the quiet signals that tell us we are ready for something different.This is not advice. It is a gentle pause. A moment to think about the changes that have served us, the ones we may be carrying out of habit, and the possibilities that open when we release what no longer fits.A short episode for anyone sensing that they have outgrown a chapter of their life, their work, or their identity.Send us a textAli Juma @The Inner Game of Change podcast Follow me on LinkedIn

HISTORISKE SANGE Ligesom de tidligere temaer i Sejrstimen 'Krigs Musik' og 'Politisk Pop', vrimler det ikke med sange i dette nye tema og en del af dem der er, har klare referencer til netop krig og politik. Især i det nye årtusinde glimrer sange indenfor disse kategorier ved deres fravær, hvor det derimod var ret udbredt ikke bare i 60'erne/70'erne men også 80'erne. Derfor er de fleste af temaets navne/numre netop derfra: Tracey Chapman, Leonard Cohen, The Divine Comedy, Morten Harket, Latin Quarter, Midnight Oil, Morrissey, Momus, Not Drowning Waving, The Pogues, Nina Simone, Arja Saijonmaa, Simple Minds, Sparks, The Specials, Sting, TV2, U2, Roger Waters og Cassandra Wilson (billedet). Kunstnere og musikere var åbenbart meget mere villige tidligere til både at engagere sig i og skrive sange om politiske og ofte samtids-aktuelle forhold. Det så man ikke mindst vedr. Sydafrika/Apartheid. Respektabelt ville det være, hvis alle de samme navne også havde vovet det om andre tragedier og uretfærdigheder, især IsPalGaza

A note from Danielle: Hello, my loves. For the month of November 2025, we are going to focus on business-related topics, and I'm bringing out the best of my business hits. Today, we're talking about authentic intelligence—rather than, as opposed to, instead of, a better option than—artificial intelligence. As I'm recording this intro right now, I'm sitting in a hotel room in London, England, shortly after I've come off stage giving a talk to a room full of mostly female business entrepreneurs. I asked them at the beginning of the day if they wanted to talk about AI, and they groaned. And I said, "Well, we've got to do it."  I'm always willing to be the contrarian if it's all in service to truth. This podcast conversation is in service to the truth of what I believe the fact to be: that AI is where your intuition goes to die. On that note, welcome to today's episode of With Love, Danielle. *This episode originally aired as Episode 138 on October 16, 2024.  Leonard Cohen, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, and Zeppelin… what's your creative archetype? And what's the Divine Feminine principle got to do with your creative edge? A lot. In this episode, we're defining creative integrity in wacky times—no matter how tempting tech might be.

A live recording and chat with Aoife Barry from our recent Listening Party for Jeff Buckley's Grace (1994) at the Big Romance in Dublin. One of the '90s most revered albums, Grace is an astonishing debut LP from the American singer-songwriter Jeff Buckley. Sadly, it was to be his only album as he tragically died three years later but the album is considered a classic for its wide-ranging, reaching vocals (Buckley's voice spanned four octaves), its resonant melding of rock, folk, soul and jazz and songs of intensity, beauty and grandeur including of course, the definitive cover of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah', along with songs like 'Lover, You Should've Come Over', 'Mojo Pin', and 'Grace'. Baroque, sweeping, poetic, soul–baring, biblical, elemental and melodramatic Grace is considered one of the best debut albums of all time, and generally just one of the best records of all time. The high drama of his life imbues Buckley's songs with a level of intensity and singular weight It's no wonder that it's an album that teenagers are still discovering today.

Vielleicht sagt Ihnen der Name Jörg Holdinghausen auf den ersten Blick wenig – doch die Chancen, dass sie ihn schon einmal live gesehen haben oder die ein oder andere Platte zuhause haben, auf der er zu hören ist, stehen nicht schlecht. Schließlich war bzw. ist er Bassist bei Tele und Wir Sind Helden, und wirkte auch bei Element Of Crime, den Solo-Abenteuern von Judith Holofernes oder Kat Frankie schon das ein oder andere Mal in dieser Position mit. Nun veröffentlicht er erstmals ein Album unter eigenem Namen: Ende November wird "Da draußen" erscheinen, das Holdinghausen als eine "Liedermacher-Platte" bezeichnet, und das in der Tat Erinnerungen an, Leonard Cohen und Georges Brassens, aber auch Reinhard Mey wachruft. Im September präsentierte er bereits einen besonderen "Doppelvorboten", nämlich gab es die mit Klezmer-Elementen spielende erste Single aus dem Album sowohl in einer deutschen Version mit dem Titel "Traum und Wirklichkeit" als auch in der französischen Chanson-Adaption "Rêve et Réalité" von Antoine Villoutreix zu hören.

Madlik Podcast – Torah Thoughts on Judaism From a Post-Orthodox Jew

From Moses to Leonard Cohen: The unexpected dilemma at the heart of Jewish prayer Leonard Cohen called If It Be Your Will “a sort of a prayer.” In this episode of Madlik Disruptive Torah, Geoffrey Stern and Rabbi Adam Mintz uncover just how deeply Jewish that prayer really is. Drawing on the words of Moses in Ha'azinu, the Psalms of David, the prayer of Hannah, and rabbinic debates in the Talmud and Maimonides' Guide for the Perplexed, we explore how Cohen's haunting lyrics echo one of the most radical ideas in Jewish liturgy: that prayer itself requires God's permission. From whispered lips to audacious praise, from silence as the highest form of worship to the chutzpah of demanding forgiveness, this episode connects the High Holidays' most prayer-rich moments to Cohen's timeless song. Was Cohen consciously channeling biblical and rabbinic texts he knew from childhood? We think the evidence is striking. Join us as we show how If It Be Your Will isn't just a song—it's the continuation of a 3,000-year-old Jewish wrestling match with the meaning of prayer. Key Takeaways The Audacity of Prayer: We examine the chutzpah of addressing God and the need for "permission" to pray. Silent Revolution: Hannah's innovation of praying silently and its impact on Jewish prayer traditions. Words Matter: The power and peril of language in prayer, and why sometimes silence speaks loudest. Timestamps [00:00:00] Opening reflection on Yom Kippur and the nature of prayer.

I'm excited for this week's BEHIND THE LENS, thanks to a director whom I adore and have been chatting with for multiple decades, RENNY HARLIN, who goes in-depth with me for THE STRANGERS: CHAPTER 2, and writer/director MATTHEW BISSONNETTE, who brings us a film I immediately connected with, DEATH OF A LADIES' MAN starring Gabriel Byrne. THE STRANGERS began back in 2008 thanks to w/d Bryan Bertino, who treated us to the tale of James Hoyt and Kristen McKay, who visit an isolated vacation home to enjoy some time together. Hopeful bliss turned into terror making their stay a nightmare. In 2018, director Johannes Roberts, with a script by Bryan Bertino and Ben Ketai, rebooted the franchise with THE STRANGERS: PREY AT NIGHT starring Bailee Madison, Lewis Pullman, and Christina Hendricks. Now in 2025, we have the chilling next chapter of THE STRANGERS franchise with THE STRANGERS: CHAPTER 2. Directed by Renny Harlin and written by Alan R. Cohen & Alan Freedland, Madelaine Petsch returns as Maya, and joining her are, among others, Gabriel Basso, Ema Horvath, Richard Brake, and Pedro Leandro. Now let's turn to DEATH OF A LADIES' MAN with writer/director MATTHEW BISSONNETTE. Described as a "lyrical dramedy", DEATH OF A LADIES' MAN is poetic and emotionally charged, infused with the music and spirit of Leonard Cohen, tackling multiple themes that evoke heartbreak, absurdity, and hope. Gabriel Byrne stars as the hard-drinking, twice-divorced professor Samuel O'Shea whose life seems to be going into the toilet. First, he starts seeing things – Frankenstein at the bar, strangers breaking into Leonard Cohen songs, a woman with a tiger's head and face, and conversations with his long-dead father, Ben O'Shea. He chalks it up to stress. But a terminal brain tumor diagnosis sends him reeling into a surreal, darkly funny odyssey through memory, regret, and an unexpected romance in Ireland. Retreating to his family's remote Irish cottage, Samuel tries to write the novel he's always avoided—and instead begins rewriting his own story. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

Today, we're sharing an excerpt from Thomas' conversation with acclaimed travel writer, author, and speaker Pico Iyer at the upcoming Collective Trauma Summit. Pico's extensive travels and journeys into the realms of Buddhism and meditation have deeply inspired and informed his creative process. They also brought him into close contact with another artist and meditation practitioner, the legendary musician Leonard Cohen. In this snippet from his Summit talk, Pico shares his experience witnessing Cohen's dedicated Zen practice and how Cohen later brought this sacred, surrendered quality from his meditation practice into his concert performances, transforming them into communal, sacred experiences. Within this experience, there are profound lessons about accepting impermanence and surrendering to something beyond your individual self.If you're moved by this conversation and want to hear the full talk, sign up at the link below, and we'll notify you as soon as details are announced for the 2025 Collective Trauma Summit, taking place online this fall.https://pointofrelationpodcast.com/#email-signup ✨ Click here to watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:

Today on part one the Rarified Heir Podcast, we speak to Sharyn Felder, daughter of one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th century, Doc Pomus. While you may not know the name Doc Pomus, you absolutely know his songs. Everyone from Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton, Bruce Springsteen, Ray Charles, Leonard Cohen, Dr. John, B.B. King have all recorded Doc Pomus songs…the list goes on and on. And we'll get to those songs he wrote shortly. On the day we spoke to Sharyn, it was release day of a new box set of her father's music, You Can't Hip a Square: The Doc Pomus Songwriting Demos on Omnivore Recordings, a six-CD set of lost, archival tracks that are a fascinating look into Doc's music and his voice. We also get to hear the back story of how the music survived, the family archive  as well as some famous people who also sang on the demos as well as the famous names whose sides didn't survive. Along the way we discuss more famous and infamous characters who were part of Doc's inner circle and those who sought out his help when the ships were down. And let us tell you, it's one hell of a list. Like who?  Robbie Robertson and Levon Helm when they were in Ronnie Hawkins band, Bob Dylan at a creative low point , Dr. John when he was struggling to quit heroin, Phil Spector, Bobby Darin, Otis Blackwell and many more. Somehow we concluded part one with a tale about the Runyon-esque existence her father lived to the fullest and the literal death of a clown. It's funny/not funny. Take a listen to this episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast.

Ever feel the pressure to peak in your 20s or 30s? In this solo, Lindsey gives us all permission to slow down and trust the timing of our lives. There is an ever-increasing expectation that success should be achieved in our youth, and Lindsey explains exactly why this is a faulty perception.  Ahead, Lindsey challenges myths surrounding who we should be “by now,” sharing her evolution as a mother, a creative, and a spiritual woman. She invites you into her process of letting go, embracing the unknown, and savoring the ‘in-betweens' instead of anxiously chasing what's next.  Lindsey also explores the power of divine timing, the misconception that youth is your creative peak, and the gifts of emotional growth. If you've ever wondered if you're “too late” or missing your purpose, this episode is a loving nudge to honor your soul's unique pace—it's for a reason! We also talk about: -Why your dreams + manifestations aren't reserved for your 20s + 30s   -Releasing the anxiety of having to “figure it all out” ASAP   -Embracing motherhood as a portal for creative expansion   -How meditation + mindfulness anchor you during times of change   -The myth of the “peak decade” + why your best years are always ahead   -The power of process—and why rushing divine timing robs you of joy   -Lessons from icons like Oprah, Leonard Cohen, and Toni Morrison   -The link between aging, wisdom, and emotional regulation   -How to find fulfillment by being present with what you've already created   Resources: -Instagram: ⁠@lindseysimcik⁠  -YouTube: @NewMomOTB (Returns soon - stay tuned!)  Sponsors: -Get our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: http://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  LMNT | Go to DrinkLMNT.com/ALMOST30 and get a free sample pack with any order.
