Leonard cohen

Thanks Warelyron.
Listening to those, I must say I much prefer his voice (and his looks), as he got older.

Yes, Mups ā€“ I had the same thought. An amazing collection of posts
Waylyron ā€” so many I was not familiar with ā€¦

Thank you.

You want it Darker?

Incredible talent - what an impressive body of work he has left.

The last two were from an album he was working on when he died. He was working with his son, Adam, who finished it

ANOTHER VERSION OF ā€˜HALLELUJAHā€™ - BEAUTIFUL BUT LEONARDā€™S WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVOURITE !

There is a scene in the TV series Tin Star where they use this trackā€¦gives me goose bump just thinking about it

??? !!

Ahā€¦ Ok I didnt realise there were rules on commenting on how music can be used to capture a moment or sceneā€¦

Cohen was a poet he wanted his words to be heard and thought about

In Tin Star after some very traumatic events, Tim Rothā€™s character, the alcoholic police chief Jim Worth, has gone off the rails and is getting blind drunk in his local bar. The scene is accompanied by Leonardā€™s ā€œYou Want It Darkerā€. It worked really well in conveying Jimā€™s mood and overall sense of loss, despair and angerā€¦ I wonā€™t comment again though if its a problem for you.

:cool:

Lovely. He was a poet who sang.

My brother is ten years older than me and when he was going through his teenage years he used to shut himself in his bedroom and blast out Cohen and Dylan

My favourite was always this. And later in life I thought it said a lot about the men women choose and why

ā€œReaching for the sky just to surrenderā€ , doesnā€™t that send chills up your spine?
