“There are always meaningful songs for somebody. People are doing their courting, people are finding their wives, people are making babies, people are washing their dishes, people are getting through the day, with songs that we may find insignificant. But their significance is affirmed by others. There’s always someone affirming the significance of a song by taking a woman into his arms or by getting through the night. That’s what dignifies the song. Songs don’t dignify human activity. Human activity dignifies the song.” PeopleHumansMayNightSongWifeBabyArmsActivityFindingsMeaningfulSignificanceDishesInsignificantWashingHuman ActivityAffirmingMeaningful Song Author:Leonard Cohen
