Produced by his son Adam Cohen and recorded largely at Cohen's home in Los Angeles during a period of declining health, the album is a stark, meditative work that confronts mortality with characteristic grace, wit and spiritual depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title track \u003cstrong\u003eYou Want It Darker\u003c\/strong\u003e is built around a haunting choral arrangement by Cantor Gideon Zelermyer and the Shaar Hashomayim Synagogue Choir, Cohen's deep, gravelly voice intoning \"Hineni, hineni \/ I'm ready, my Lord\" -- the Hebrew declaration of readiness. \u003cstrong\u003eTreaty\u003c\/strong\u003e is a tender, resigned love song that ranks among his finest late-period writing. \u003cstrong\u003eSteer Your Way\u003c\/strong\u003e is a spare, spoken-word meditation that draws on both sacred and secular imagery. \u003cstrong\u003eLeaving the Table\u003c\/strong\u003e carries an unmistakable sense of farewell, its lyric reading as a final statement from an artist who knew his time was short.
