In the vast tapestry of music and poetry, few voices resonate with the depth of Leonard Cohen’s. His words echo with the weight of human experience and the quiet hope found amidst the brokenness. And while Cohen left us a collection of hauntingly beautiful songs, it is Anthem—with its unforgettable line, “There is a crack in everything / That’s how the Light gets in”—that feels like both a mantra and a map. It is a song that speaks to our souls, especially for those who find themselves on a journey of self-discovery and realization.
There is a crack, a crack in everything. That’s how the Light gets in. – Leonard Cohen
