Film From A Room: More
informations at |
From the album Giant Normal Dwarf by The Nits, CBS Holland 1990. Henk Hofstede, vocals. Written and produced by The Nits. The song was recorded in Amsterdam in 1990. Some explanation might be necessary. The song tells about a trip to Hydra, to Leonard Cohen's house. Hank Hofstede was one of those two pilgrims, and the other guy came from Finland: Seppo Pietikäinen, a free-lance journalist and tv producer. Henk and Seppo made also a 30 min road movie "Film from a room - A journey to the house of Leonard Cohen". This funny and also a little bit strange story has been shown in the Finnish television (and probably in Holland, too). It tells about two men meeting in the wilderness of Finland, planning together a trip to Hydra to see Leonard's house. Finally they reach Hydra, meet some of Leonard's old friends still living on the island, and find his house - with the help of a donkey called Dardo. |

Wainwright Fan-Site:
Connect with The Leonard Cohen Files to
|
Martha Wainwright is a musical artist of keen insight and originality. Born in 1976, the daughter of Kate McGarrigle, of the renowned folk duo Kate & Anna McGarrigle, and singer-songwriter Loudon Wainwright III. Growing up in a family where music was the central focus, she sang on stage and in the studio from an early age. She began writing songs and performing in clubs while a drama student in her native Montreal. Martha Wainwright meshes her acute familiarity with folk/rock tradition with a youthful sense of adventure. Singing dramatic ballads, flushed with character, her material is wise, vulnerable and revealing. She brings a solid musical strength to her songs with a voice that can break your heart.

Biography: I was born in the city of Los
Angeles, but really never felt Ive belonged here. My work is a mixture of
social satire and my own experiences. I believe that painting or and art
form should really be about how you experience life from youre eyes. Ive
gotten involved with music, fashion design, as well as photography. This
was a result of the broad range of exposure to all forms of art I had as a
student at California Institute of the Arts. My art is about expression
and social situations involving what I experience life in Los Angeles, and
is colored by my emotional state of mind at the time of creating work. I
mask certian issues with humor, which is the reason people have called the
work "social Satire". I have been traveling extensively to gain
more knowledge and to see different environments experiencing living in
other cities. Ive faced many many "issues" concerning earning a
living, and the curse that seems to go with creative people involving not
"fitting in" with the social norm. Ive heard people call artists
irresponsible, having no bussiness sense, and so forth, I do not agree
with that at all. Being an artist is a HUGE responsibility. as you realize
from the start is isnt easy. Country: United States Visit

I'm just another pilgrim I'm going on fifty-seven If you come here with a purpose And Orpheus gathers garbage I went down to the harbour Do anything than stay here Everywhere our boats are burning There are children in the Salt
Mines And Bill's Bar is full
of phantoms And always there's a danger Et toujours il y a le danger The Millennial Olympics And love is what we long for Yes, everybody comes here Which are a transient as the wind |
