Truly shocked. I loved this man and his music.

I bought his first  album,Songs Of Leonard Cohen,when it was  released in 1967,, and his second album Songs From A Room ,when it came out in 1969.
Both had a huge influence on me  at the time, and  have continued to do so throughout my life.

He was an exquisite master of the use of words / lyrics, in a beautiful and unique way.

A true poet. A genius.

"I did my best, it wasn't much. I couldn't tell so I learned to touch. I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you. And even though it all went wrong, I'll stand before the Lord of Song with nothing on my tongue but hallelujah."

RIP  To a  Poet Son writer and Musician .

I won't pretend to be a misunderstood sensitive flower like IAN who starved in his garret before his  life was literally saved by Cohen's poetic songs. (The best fairytale I've heard this week btw).

As a younger man I did however enjoy an erotic experience with an older woman while side two of 'Songs of Love And Hate' was playing on her turntable. Can't hear the superb 'Famous Blue Raincoat' even now without fondly remembering her and that long gone evening.

Farewell Leonard Cohen. The afterlife will surely be enriched by his presence.

I'd like to think tonight that he and his former muse, songwriting partner and backing vocalist Queenie W will be serenading the regulars at 'The Heavenly Dog and Duck and Human Rights Lawyer Tavern' with a rendition or two of that timeless classic "First We Take Berlin, Then We Barge Our Way Through Calais to Slurp on Some UK Taxpayers Money".     

RIP The Great Man.

His new and last album. Magnificent if that first chilling track is an indicator.
