3 - Wake Up | Arcade Fire feat. David Bowie | - |
Leonard Cohen noted, in a 1994 BBC interview, that the song was about encountering Suzanne Vaillancourt in a MontrĂ©al setting. He said, “………. I knew it was a song about Montreal, it seemed to come out of that landscape that I loved very much in Montreal, which was the harbour, and the waterfront, and the sailors' church there, called Notre Dame de Bon Secour, which stood out over the river, and I knew that there're ships going by, I knew that there was a harbour, I knew that there was Our Lady of the Harbour, which was the virgin on the church which stretched out her arms towards the seamen, and you can climb up to the tower and look out over the river, so the song came from that vision, from that view of the river.
Cohen was also born in Montreal. Arcade Fire is also from Montreal.
(The original Wake Up version without David Bowie is much better!)
