Leonard Cohen Has Died

And then you heard, on Remembrance Day, of the Poet who had gone away; No more music in the dark to keep you warm.

For years to come you will recall the music's death, the soldier's fall, and your songs salute them both. So: Hallelujah!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

The first Cohen song that I ever heard was "Everybody Knows", in Pump Up the Volume.

Same. I think the juxtaposition between the cohen version throughout and the 4 non blondes (?) version at the end made me love it so much more.

I feel that many singers just sing the words, and sometimes they're pretty, sometimes sad. It was like raw emotion poured out every time Leonard Cohen opened his mouth.

That would be Concrete Blonde.
