My local paper is reporting that Canadian singer/song writer Leonard Cohen passed away. A statement posted on his official facebook page stated that a memorial will be held in Los Angeles at a later date. R.I.P. to legend of music with a unique sound. Hallelujah sir.
Check out his last cd called "You want it darker." It's a really sad and beautiful cd... it's like he knew he was going to die,,,reminds me of "Hurt" by Johnny Cash, I have a feeling this cd will be a classic...
Yeah, its a good thing he got his swan song, just like Bowie. The man was a Canadian icon and a beloved part of our musical landscape. His rare talent will be sorely missed. Not necessarily one of his most famous, but I think this song is fitting.
...This year has been on a shit run since Bowie died in January 2016 can piss off with its pissing people off and RIP music Giant you're in good company.
"But you'll be hearing from me baby, long after I'm gone I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window in the Tower of Song" May you rest peacefully, Leonard. Truth be told, I was never a fan of his singing, but I am a huge fan of his songs... So many wonderful cover versions thanks to his briliance in songwriting.
