  7. Leonard Cohen: The Poetry of Song

    Leonard Cohen, a Montreal-born poet, songwriter, and singer, crafted some of the most enduring and evocative lyrics in modern music. 📜 His songs are poems. From 'Hallelujah' to 'Suzanne,' Cohen's words resonate with depth and meaning. A Canadian legend. 🇨🇦 #Canada #LeonardCohen #CanadianPoetry #Songwriter

  10. A mellow evening calls for some Leonard Cohen - Popular Problems.

    From Born In Chains:

    I've heard the soul unfolds
    In the chambers of its longing
    And the bitter liquor sweetens
    In the hammered cup
    But all the Ladders
    Of the Night have fallen
    Only darkness now
    To lift the Longing up

  15. RE: mastodon.social/@realTuckFrump

    "The Leonard Cohen Estate has learned that the song 'Hallelujah' is to be performed at a Donald Trump rally on June 24," the Facebook post read. "This use is not authorized, and the Estate does not support or approve of this or any similar usage. Thank you for your attention to this matter."

    Looks like some Canadians are going to teach Trump about consent, whether he likes it or not.

    As an aside, pretty funny that Trump wanted to use music from a Canadian artist for the “USA Freedom 250” rally.

    Next he’ll be wanting to use K.D. Lang’s indisputably perfect version from Canada’s hosting of the Olympics.

  16. LEONARD COHEN
    The Best Of
    1975 U.S. pressing

    7am Sunday morning needs a little poetic justice every now and then.

    I don’t think I’d lived enough life or experienced enough loss, pain, love or heartbreak to fully understand or appreciate Leonard Cohen as a young man.

    He is definitely an artist that I’ve become more in tune with as Ive aged & lived my life.
    I just couldn’t have made that kind of emotional connection to it as a 14 year old.

    I think I was actually 14/15 the first time I heard him; through his incredible song “Everybody Knows” that was featured in the 1990 Christian Slater movie Pump Up The Volume.
    Long live Happy Harry Hard-On!

    Cohen became a bigger part of my life after moving to Canada almost 20 years ago.
    He is engrained in the culture here; a national hero whose effect on Canadian art, music and culture can never truly be measured.

    Irreplaceable.
