Re: FROM LEONARD: HAPPENS TO THE HEART

If you go back to the first page of this thread, you will see that Leonard sent this poem us on August 25, 2016, to make sure we'd see it. Happens to the Heart will be the first poem in his forthcoming book "The Flame". The poem is still dated on June 24, 2016, and no changes have been ma...

Re: Will there be posthumous disc?

Thank you for explaining, holydove. That's what I meant. Hartmut, you are very kind to be so tolerant of my propensity for excessively detailed explanations :roll: . I beg forgiveness for indulging that compulsion. What prompted such explanation is that I think Born In Chains had special significan...

Re: Will there be posthumous disc?

Interestingly, in the Popular Problems CD booklet, Born in Chains is the only song on the album that has only Leonard Cohen's name, as composer, under the title of the song. All the other songs have LC's & Patrick Leonard's name, except for A Street, which is credited to LC & Anjani Thomas (...
