Songs Of Love And Hate and New Skin For The Old Ceremony are masterpieces, I constantly revisit those. I think I'm Your Man and The Future were a return to form after the 80's. I do like the new one You Want It Darker.

You want it darker
We kill the flame

He spoke to me like very few lyricists and his delivery encapsulates the despair, anger and depression.

RIP

Well, I just connected to my SoundCloud page and, when I looked at the suggestions for listening, I saw a link to the official Leonard Cohen SoundCloud page... Ermm

Ouch! He was the greatest songwriter of his generation hands down. If you've never heard it, search out the Fairport Convention version of Suzanne on Youtube. Sandy Denny and Ian Mathews simply nailed this great song. 

RIP.

The world have lost one of its richest and most earthly voices, a voice of mother earth self, an oak of wisdom and gravitas, a storyteller and a craftsman of the rare kind.

Famous Blue Raincoat has always blown me away. A great artist who has left us richer with the work that he leaves behind for us to enjoy and to contemplate in the future. I don't think that the true power of Cohen's work has really been felt or understood yet.

I love this song and this video is pretty cool.
Nice to know a Canadian was more optimistic about our democracy in the USA!

Leonard took the back door when Trump broke in the front.  RIP to someone who's been with me since day 1. 

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

Songs of Love and Hate is a truly great album.

And Hallelujah is in my top 5 songs ever, maybe even the podium. No words for it.
I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place
