Themes

Mariska has stated that the main themes on the album are death and love. She had previously suffered from a fear of death, but has since then learned to value life and live every day like her last. The title Kukkurukuu was inspired by a Mexican song ”Cucurrucucú paloma”. [3]

"Cucurrucucú paloma" is a Mexican huapango-style song written by Tomás Méndez in 1954. The title is an onomatopeic reference to the characteristic call of the mourning dove, which is evoked in the refrain. The lyrics allude to lovesickness.

Singles

The album has spawned three singles. "Liekki" was released in June 2012. Mariska has said that this song was inspired by both Leonard Cohen and her own heartaches. [4] The title track was released as a single in August 2012 and remains the only song from the album to have appeared on the Official Finnish Singles Chart where it peaked at number 16. [5] The third single "Kuolema on kalamies" was released in November 2012. [6]

In 2011, Cohen received one of the Prince of Asturias Awards for literature and the ninth Glenn Gould Prize.
