    I assume many of you already know, but for those who don't: the lyrics of this incredibly beautiful song are based on a poem ("Pequeño vals vienés") by the Spanish poet Federico García Lorca, who was killed by the Fascists in 1936. Leonard Cohen was a big fan of Lorca's poetry.

    I was lucky enough to attend several of Mr. Cohen's later concerts. It was always great, but the "best" moment was always when he introduced everyone on stage. Sometimes not even on stage, but the light and sound people too. And he always did it with such grace and respect. The world was a little bit better with him in it.

    I am totally mesmerized by Leonard. I am drawn to his senior self like a magnet. I am looking into his soul and he touches mine so tenderly and emotionally. I adore his voice and persona at this stage of his life.
    He was unique in life and is everlasting in death. RIP Leonard Cohen

      Edward, Leonard Cohen was one of those anomalies that he kept sounding better as he aged. I also bowed my knee to him publicly as a prophet. I am a Christian, he was a Jew, but he was the gate keeper of something from the Divine i sought.

      Firstly I am Marlene (female) For reasons best known to herself my granddaughter decided to put every item on my phone in my husband's name !! I really need to try and change it.
      I too am Christian with some Jewish ancestry.
      I am probably repeating myself, but I am totally mesmerized and bewitched by the 70 + year old Leonard Cohen.
      I feel I can "read" the emotion in his soul during these late in life tour performances.
      I find myself compelled to watch whilst I listen to him.
      I thought he was a magnetic talent in his earlier years, but the stirring in my soul that his later genius brings on in me is uncanny.
      I absolutely adore him and his amazing musical magic to a degree far above any earthly comprehension.
      I bow/curtsey to his amazing,compelling musical genius and persona.

      Hi there, I'm Marlene (not Eddie!!!) I am so thrilled that you liked my emotion about Mr Cohen in his latter years. It's difficult to explain in words how he moves me to feel. I see and feel a tenderness and holiness radiating from his face, and indeed his very presence. The lyrics of his songs are nothing short of poetic or factual beauty.
      I am drawn to this bounteous presence like a moth to a flame. I can't stop watching and listening once I start.
      I am of advancing years and reflect on death quite a bit. When I watch Leonard (the elder) I feel relaxed and comforted about passing. As I am watching, his physical being removes my fear of death. We all know that's what awaits us at the end of this journey called life. Thank you Mr Cohen for your comfort and enlightenment. I will hold it in my heart until I say "good bye" to flesh and blood.

      I agree, Marlene. A friend of mine back when I was about 16 was into his poetry and music. I was vaguely interested in him and remembered his song "Suzanne". Then I heard Hallelujah and I was in love. He just reminds me SO much as he aged in looks and eyes and smile of someone else who was a very dear friend.

    Leonard was 76 and we knew this would be our only chance of seing him live.
    It had been raining for days, but that one evening the weather was only hot and humid.
    My wife and I never forget that evening, it was magic.

    Leonars Cohen, the musician who through his music could transform a tough man into a great romantic, the performer who knew how to intertwine the autumn leaves with the roses of May.
    That poet who is able to sing to you and describe your death as the long-awaited bride and love as a leaf taken to dance by the winter wind.
    The night sky is darker due to the loss of a star, as if there is more pain in the cry of the wind since he left, and the sea wipes its tears from the shore where the seagull fell.
    Leonard, sing to the stars and the moon as only you know how to do it R.I.P. 💚
