- On Sept 16, 2014, Leonard Cohen met with the press in London to preview his new album, Popular Problems, and answer questions. This recording is a broadcast of that session stripped of filler. Visual elements (eg, photos of the session) have been added but are NOT essential to the overall experience. Some viewers may enjoy the view; others may find it distracting. In any case, feel free to turn the video on, lean back, close your eyes, and just listen to 16 minutes of Leonard Cohen talking about songwriting, collaborating with Patrick Leonard, resuming smoking, his Jewish background, and more.
Brilliant mind, most humbled modesty, a gentle, tender human being most deserving of his success and greatness!! Is not just the voice, the poetry, the lyrics is the aura of light and kind spirit that he surrounds us with! I love that his presence in the world! Thank you Leonard!
Sica....i have scanned a lot of comments about Leonard Cohen to find a single one which wraps up how the general public feel about Mr Cohen..............and put as simply as i can....
You're comment....NAILED IT!!!!!........good on you.
@@BLITZY261 In total agreement of your words!! Re Sica's. Am in awe of the man..... And both of you, for recognizing the man's Soul!!♥️
I think Leonard was born gifted with the ability to express emotions, mixed with the every day life he witnessed, or experienced, and put to words in a way that makes his listeners think. Calmness in poetry that brings to light our everyday lives we fail to see and recognize until someone makes us take notice. Walk outside in the morning when all is quiet but the birds. They make you listen. That's what Leonard Cohen reminds me of.
Miss this guy every day :( The Cohenless world, but we ll get up and be inspired by you LC.
I can't sing but I am glad to be able to wash dishes. Grateful to UTube to be able to access the wisdom and poetic talent of Leonard Cohen.
It moves me so much to hear Leonard speek/talk, for so many reasons. I don´t have the words for it. But thank you Allan for making them availeble.
Thank you!!! A marvellous man! Such refined taste and broad, extremely gifted mind. I cannot get enough of him. I honour the his humble demeanour when his words spell out LIFE, in all its facets. His every word is a continuous learning experience fot the human race. One must read his poems for any deep comprehension and discovery. A must-list-to interview!!! Thanks again!!!♥️
Perfection Leonard, and thank you Allan ❤️❤️
Got to LOVE this HUMBLE MAN!
Thanks, Allan, for posting these items about Leonard! Always inspiring to hear what Mr. Cohen has to say about his work!
Also enjoy his sometimes wry sense of humor expressing his comments on life in general. Loved his comment on living next to the US as a Canadian: We watch America the way women watch men-very very carefully ua-cam.com/video/X3LVjTVpHHQ/v-deo.htmlm20s
thank you for taking the trouble to make this available. It deepens the listeners relationship with cohen' work.
Alan, thank you so much for posting all these videos of LC. It's such a generous thing to do, and because of who Leonard was, brings so much joy and profundity to others. I assume from the photos that you knew LC personally. Lucky you.
Thanks so much for posting this. Really appreciated.
He always reminded me that life is a journey of individuality and of the heart and one we all must take alone to some degree.
Old Ideas, Popular Problems 😂 Unpopular Solutions, now that would have been exhilarating Leonard. We miss you, simply that, miss you 💚🇮🇪🔸
Fascinating.

Thanks mate.
Thanks so much Allan for posting this amazing interview, but why couldn't you post him speaking live? Who was the audience made up of and what programme was it shown on, on the BBC? Thanks for a great interview with this true musical genius and intellectual.
The interview as a press event to promote the Popular Problems album so the audience was made up of journalists. It was broadcast with commercials, song snippets, etc on a BBC Radio program: Stuart Maconie hosts Leonard Cohen On 6 Music - originally broadcast Sept 28, 2014. If there is a video of the interview, it has not been broadcast.

Still waiting for unpopular solutions.
excellent. he's lost none of his mental agility.
!!!!!
thank you for the misleading still where i thought i'd be watching this brilliant man speak, rather than listening to poor-quality audio.
I am sorry you are disappointed, but there was no intent to deceive. The description indicates that visual elements were added and are only supplemental. The audio is that recorded by the BBC.
Just to hear and learn from Leonards wisdom and heart is always, anytime in any way a gift. I am thankfull for every crumble. Thanks Allan
