Re: Where did Leonard take you - your story
For me - My intro to Leonard was as a little girl listening to Suzanne (covers).... As an adult rediscovered him twice...at age 19, a boyfriend who was into him...but then in my 30s, after hearing Buckley's Hallelujah, giving me the inspiration to look further into Cohen. An oh my goodness - his wor...

Re: The Darker Album and the Songs
Just listened to this twice through....of course I just love it and am extremely moved....however I get a "sense" of a man moving away from faith...from the idea of truth ...the song where hes "traveling light", the song where he speaks of thinking it sounded like the truth but i...

Re: Title song 'You Want It Darker' now on YouTube and Spotify etc
Yep - as I said, I know I could be totally wrong - and I know that Leonard Cohen has always been involved with and inspired by his Jewish heritage/faith...(love how he incorporates the Old Testament as well into his songs!) And also that he is into Zen Buddhism...but still, I'm just saying "if&...

coming back to you
Hi everyone!
Does anyone else see this as a song about turning back to God? Especially the stanza about all the others who put aside their pride and therefore get chosen...
Thanks!

Re: Theology of Leonard Cohen
quoting from another poster - "Many people have been lately wishing that Cohen has converted more to this or that direction, and it is easy to make various interpretations. I can see both Jewish and Christian influences, not to mention those obvious Zen paradoxes and Muslim spices. But what abo...
