I’d like to have a very intimate kind of record, of a very different nature than actual songs." "In My Secret Life", a song that wound up being an ode to unrequited love, became the album's first single with an accompanying music video that was filmed in Montreal at Habitat 67. Other songs, such as "Alexandra Leaving" (based on "The God Abandons Antony", also translated as "The God Forsakes Antony", a poem by Constantine P. Cavafy, published in 1911) and "You Have Loved Enough", imply departures of some sort or another. Ten New Songs was remastered and reissued on vinyl by the Netherlands label Music On Vinyl in 2009. Reception In the October 2001 Rolling Stone review of the album, Steven Chean stated, "Ten New Songs manages to sustain loss's fragile beauty like never before and might just be the Cohen's most exquisite ode yet to the midnight hour." Uncut deemed it "worth the wait."

He'll never be cheerful, but a Zen-like serenity pervades every song." Cover recordings Eric Burdon, Katie Melua, Till Brönner and Edo Zanki have recorded cover version's of "In My Secret Life".
