Another superb songwriter gone :(
I guess many of us recall listening to his music as youngsters/students, mainly just after breaking up with your latest girlfriend ;D It was always termed 'music to slash your wrists to' but I think that was unfair, although it certainly didn't brighten up a dull mood.
Don't know what you mean, Mick. I always found him very upbeat. https://youtu.be/3XzAjfwQtvM
My favourite album of is "Songs of Leonard Cohen"
RIP Leonard
Sad loss. He was brilliant. Saw him live once which was a great experience.
Yep, another one of the greats gone. I believe he performed out here in Australia, not that long ago (I think).
I never saw him live, but I don't think his style would have appealed to me. However he wrote some great songs. I first heard 'Suzanne' more than 40 years ago and it is still one of my favourites. RIP.

We have lost another great one to be sure. Not a slash your wrists poet/singer for me, but melancholy certainly and deeply profound. My favourite is Suzanne too - tho I can't get Bird on a Wire out of my head at the moment.
