XinBiDe Says:

Nov 10, 2009 - Leonard is the greatest artist of all time but his later stuff was hit hard by 80s trends and the decreasing versatility of his voice. Songs like Hallelujah and others have been revived by new artists, though, which is a decent consolation.

Nov 10, 2009 - he himself has said, women tend to have him pegged as 'sad sensitive' and gravitate towards him in tender droves. Which is reward enough for him. I'd snuggle. Oh, I would. h.

Nov 13, 2009 - Leonard Cohen may be old, but he'll never die. I'm glad he's getting the recognition he deserves now. By all means, in music, he is a god.

Nov 16, 2009 - I think Jeff Buckley did very good justice to Hallelujah don't you? I know this song has an 80's sound but his voice, the way he delivers the lines make it different to the other 80s stuff.

Nov 16, 2009 - I went to the Vegas US show on Thursday. Best f'n concert I ever been to. I think his concert version blows his original song out the water.

XinBiDe Says:

Nov 17, 2009 - God yes, Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah cover was a turning point in my life. And I totally agree, even in the 80s Cohen was still Cohen, the most ingenious singer/songwriter of modern times.

Nov 22, 2009 - His voice is like no other man's on this Earth. No one can compare!

adderization Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - I was at that one as well. Loved it that he made a reference to Ceasars in Hallelujah. Saw him in Dublin as well. The Vegas version of this song was by far the best I have ever heard. To make things better, someone threw a monkey onto the stage. Good job it wasn't a plywood violin.....

Nov 25, 2009 - Leonard Cohen is addictive. Your first thought is that other people sing his songs so much better than his monotone. But I find I play his recordings over and over and over.

cindytomato Says:

Nov 25, 2009 - Cohen songs always have a deeper meaning that what is on the surface. If you've read some of his books with the commentaries you would see this. The Traitor, he says is sometimes one believes they are supposed to do one thing, and then find out the thing they thought they were called to do was not so, and they end up doing the opposite, thus the traitor, but that was really what they were meant to do, not what they thought. I'm paraphazing here, but he is deeper than on the surface of songs

cindytomato Says:

Nov 25, 2009 - Example, the monkey, I'm assuming is/was his drug addiction. etc. Please grow up, age has nothing to do with talent. When one is young they never think they will age. Cohen is 75, got ripped off for his life savings, by his manager Kelly Lynch, and has to go out and hustle all over again at his age. I know I will hold a wake if Cohen dies. To me he is irreplacible. One has to really listen to his music to catch his drift and even then you may have it wrong. He will live forever in my heart.
