感謝友人提供的首映票卷，星期五的晚上很準時的出現在電影院前，等著一覽此片。早早下班早早到場的結果就是有很長空檔在西門町亂逛，大概是高中畢業後再沒這麼長時間逗留在此處了。
 
　　比起舞臺上光鮮奪目的表演者，作詞者往往不為人關注，此人卻是個例外－李歐納。科恩（Leonard Cohen） －號稱搖滾界的拜倫，詩人、作家、作詞者與歌手的多重身份，卻在電影開始才逐漸知曉他。穿插的音樂作品，唱者的接觸形容，都比不上他出現在螢幕前落落大方帶點羞澀的模樣，唸起中文版的序言；或是舞台上歌手賣力演唱他的昨品時的現場氛圍，推敲歌詞間的字字句句，感動無比。
 
　　有人說：「科恩，他寫到每個人都會遭遇的處境。」，有這樣的作詞家，讓我們在音樂裡尋求慰藉，獲得力量。而電影散場後，讓人急欲尋找他的作品或是電影原聲帶可見一斑。
 
   

 

 

Leonard Cohen - I'm Your Man Lyrics

If you want a lover

I'll do anything you ask me to

And if you want another kind of love

I'll wear a mask for you

If you want a partner

Take my hand

Or if you want to strike me down in anger

Here I stand

I'm your man

If you want a boxer

I will step into the ring for you

And if you want a doctor

I'll examine every inch of you

If you want a driver

Climb inside

Or if you want to take me for a ride

You know you can

I'm your man



Ah, the moon's too bright

The chain's too tight

The beast won't go to sleep

I've been running through these promises to you

That I made and I could not keep

Ah but a man never got a woman back

Not by begging on his knees

Or I'd crawl to you baby

And I'd fall at your feet

And I'd howl at your beauty

Like a dog in heat

And I'd claw at your heart

And I'd tear at your sheet

I'd say please, please

I'm your man



And if you've got to sleep

A moment on the road

I will steer for you

And if you want to work the street alone

I'll disappear for you

If you want a father for your child

Or only want to walk with me a while

Across the sand

I'm your man



If you want a lover

I'll do anything you ask me to

And if you want another kind of love

I'll wear a mask for you
