I always think of this song as First We Take Manhattan, Then We Take Berlin. I just found out only fans of the song think that. Cohn always called it First We Take Manhattan. I might do another song but I spent so long (and credits) getting this just the way I wanted, it's hard to let go. Monday: Germany First We Take Manhattan, Then We Take Berlin lyrics by Leonard Cohn, sung by Jennifer Warnes https://budgetpixel.com/blog/geography-song-challenge-march-6-12-2026 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNYiMxHbcE4

Fabulous image. What a wonderful artist, poet then singer.

Thank you Hiths for the lovely comment and for the tip. I am so happy you liked it. It took forever to make it, lots of credits, mostly because I wanted the artistic collage look and some models like their own look. Or I'd get a good one and one word would be mispelled. So I'm very happy you liked it too.
