   On yesterday morning’s The Sunday Magazine on CBC Radio One,   
   there was an 11 minute interview with author Harry Freedman   
   who discussed religious references in Leonard Cohen’s music.   
      
   Here is a link to that interview:

   That page includes a button to play the interview, and also   
   a text article including some links to relevant songs. Here is   
   the opening paragraph of that article:   
      
   "Leonard Cohen's beautiful verses from songs such as Hallelujah   
   and You Want It Darker are deeply religious, and according to   
   author Harry Freedman, they're just two of many where Cohen   
   borrowed from ancient texts."
