I love Dylan... but if Dylan were better.... he'd be Cohen

who does this guy think he is? :)

The lyric is so deep, I don't even...
It's biblical, it's symbolic, it's political. What does he even sing about? I was my no. 1 favorite song 5-6 years ago.

@tomerodrique : also a line in "Cavalleria Rusticana" (the only opera that is too short) if she aint there when I get to paradise I aint staying either.

Quite possibly the best poetry written for music in the history of English literature--that, and Hallelujah!
I took this song with me when I began life anew overseas, and it sustained me day after day when no other English words were available for comfort. And Hallulajah was my wedding dance. Oh Leonard Cohen is a national treasure!

I discovered him late in his life and mine too. The more I hear, the more I like.

@tomerodrique Me too!

Holy Shit is perfect! When I first heard "Take This Waltz" in a record store 20 years ago .... Until I saw him live at Red Rocks... He came on stage I gasped and did not breathe until it was over. If I gush too much ... There are really no words unless your are a Cohen fan..
To borrow an idea of Mark Twain's, If Leonard Cohen doesn't go to heaven when he dies, I want to go where he went.
