This song is a cover of a song by George Jones September (12, 1931 – April 26, 2013), which Leonard Cohen offers as something of a tribute to him.
It's also a great coaching song! Choices. We all have them.
It was not really a planned choice for Leonard Cohen to have his retirement savings stolen by his manager but he's made some good choices, with a lot of help from people around him, about what to do next.
Imagine yourself at 80 producing some of your best work.
Now that's a better life to expect than the one we often are presented in popular culture for what old age will be like.
I know which choice I'd make.
