In search of reality, Leonard Cohen convinced his producer Patrick Leonard to abandon his hang-ups about using sampled instruments. Leonard sent me the lyric via email, and I printed it out, sat down at the piano, and took half an hour to write the song — noting the music on the lyrics sheet — and then to record a demo in Logic. Next song. With this new project the nature of our relationship was a little different, and I felt freer to do what I felt worked best, and to just do what I love. In working with Leonard, it was very demanding to come up with things that were simple and yet intelligent.
