Snapshots #299: A Top Ten Waiting Songs

Leonard Cohen is holding a camera in this picture. Oh yes he is. You just can't see it very well. And he's waiting for a miracle...

As we're all waiting for Snapshots #300 next week, this seemed appropriate. You may be interested to know that I have done TWO Top Ten lists of Waiting Songs (compiled while we were waiting for Sam's birth, ten years ago). And none of the songs on those lists feature here. Although Foreigner almost did.
