I met Leonard Cohen once, at Canter's in Hollywood. The other day, while driving, I heard on the radio about the death of some celebrity and it occurred to me... the day I hear that Leonard has passed, will bum me out immeasurably.
Thank you SO MUCH, Mz. Bridger :)!!! I don't hear the organ as gospel, but as blues... and LOVE it! What I love, too, is how Leonard is seizing these days to continue to grow in other and new directions... pushing his creativity more and more. It's wonderful!
@gustavtube1 You got it: it's poetry, words that catch how things feel, so neatly, so simply; the way only someone who has been there could put it. "Effortless genius" covers what you see on stage; I think there is a lot of agonising over crafting the words the rest of the time - look how many versions of "A Thousand Kisses Deep" there are, and every one is a gem.
@yeahsee33 Know how you feel....Its happened to me more than once...now Im older and wiser I realise what a fool I was.Certain chances never come again...now I just go and enjoy..Would love the chance to see Leonard.... Couldn't afford to go to Glastonbury when he was there and its only a few miles up the road..
Been a fan since I was 14, am 55 now and an even bigger fan. Seen Leonard live 3 times and cant wait to see him again. Wonderful.
'I thought I had the past, but the darkness got that too' Leonard Cohen = Magic
This man just gets better with age. Hope to see him in person some day! Love this song. Hell, I love them all!

Fabulous....this man is omnipotent!! I want him to record As the Mist Leaves no Scar.at this stage of his life.I'm sure it would be mind blowing...
It's amazing that after all these years he still makes incredible songs. This is one of my favourites he's ever made.

I wish he'd put out more books of poetry as well.

@kingofmilwaukee6969 This song is being played several times each day on Radio 2-England-amazing but commendable
