This is the song the first brought me to Leonard Cohen. It played repeatedly (as I remember, but I know the brain plays tricks) in the movie Pump Up The Volume about a high school kid who sets up a pirate radio station in his house that catches on with the kids in his high school, but no so much with the principal. I checked Netflix - they have it on DVD, but not streaming.*
I think you'll find this song pretty current.
*I did find Pump Up The Volume on youtube. And "Everybody Knows" starts during the credits, three minutes into the film. This isn't a great copy, it looks like heads are cut off and it's got ads embedded in the movie.
Night Comes On encapsulates my mood just now.
