Leonard Cohen, moving the world

[Corgimom]

Leonard Cohen, whose new album You Want It Darker is out October 21
“I don’t think I’ll be able to finish those songs. Maybe, who knows? And maybe I’ll get a second wind, I don’t know. But I don’t dare attach myself to a spiritual strategy. I don’t dare do that. I’ve got some work to do. Take care of business. I am ready to die. I hope it’s not too uncomfortable. That’s about it for me.”

[AliceElite]

I will cry when he finally passes away.

Leonard Cohen, my beautiful poet. This is amazing.

A song of Leonard's that my childhood abuser sang almost every night. I've made peace with him, and this song gives me so much more insight into his life. I finally understand why these words rang so true for him. And eventually true for me also.

wow, i didn't know he was Canadian. In America we're only fed what the masses want. I remember loving the song, really loving it, but disliking my step father. He sang it differently in different keys, with guitar most nights when I was growing up.
