A hundred floors above me in the Tower of Song 🇨🇦

I said to Hank Williams, how lonely does it get?

Hank Williams hasn't answered me yet

But I hear him coughing, all night long

Oh a hundred floors above me, in the Tower of Song

 

Tower of Song is a song written by Leonard Cohen that appears on his 1988 album I'm Your Man. In a 2014 reader's poll, Rolling Stone listed it as the 8th favourite Cohen song. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Song

 

The CN Tower is a 553 metre high concrete communications and observation tower located in the downtown core of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Built on the former Railway Lands, it was completed in 1976. Its name CN originally referred to Canadian National, the railway company that built the tower.

The visible penumbra created on the CN Tower is a phenomenon known as the Tyndall effect. The sky outside the shadow of the tower appears brighter. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyndall_effect
