Finally, after 8 years (Nov 22, 2011 / Nov 22, 2019), the file is complete:

Well spotted, Roman!

Thanks Hartmut and Rachel

And Rachel, that's a very moving poem - so well thought out!

Hi Vickie, That was good timing – I’ve just posted an image in Hartmut's thread after watching and listening to The Goal ;-) To my ears it's the same version as in the recent Book of Longing audio release but set to a musical background. Yes, I did do and say that about YWID album because I really t...

I didn’t know if we were having a thread this year to commemorate Leonard’s birthday so that’s a good idea, Hartmut! I hope you don’t mind if I also join in here. I was just thinking about the theme for the new album and today after looking at the video for The Goal with its black background and emb...

10 seconds in embossed neon gold including an LC drawing probably in the album liner notes

I've recently read but can't remember where that someone said LC's voice is "like a velour foghorn"

And yes, I also confess I do favour his voice around the time that the Recent Songs album was released in 1979.

Vickie, it’s good to catch up with you! Glad you were able to listen to the programme. Nice to hear what Tom said about Leonard. I watched videos of those two songs you mentioned and I can see why he chose them. As you have already surmised, I do prefer the string one :) btw - if you want to discove...

Hi Vickie, If you go on the SiriusXM site and look at Lithium's lineup, it says that Morello's show will be about "darker songwriters & lyrics". Can anyone confirm if this will include Leonard?? I tried to find out if that was so and never discovered anything more than you did :) But that programme ...

Congratulations Paul and Tanya! Just letting others know, this book is now on the Australian PM's shortlist in this year’s Prime Minister’s Literary Awards. https://www.theage.com.au/entertainment/books/story-of-artistic-life-on-greek-island-gets-on-pm-s-shortlist-20190912-p52qss.html Story of artis...

Hi Andrew, good to catch up with you :D ….and I've just realised that you posted in July you were going to see this :oops: Thanks for your thoughts on the movie. Yes, there has been an assortment of responses to it and yesterday I was provided with an audio download link of an interview with Sylvie ...

Hi Lennon, Welcome to the forum! and pamhule, if you are still around :) Besides all those extra verses quoted in LC Prologues including the one above, there is an unused line Leonard wrote for Democracy but I can't remember where or when it's from. He said that it referred specifically to Dylan’s s...

http://miff.com.au/program/films/date/2019-08-06 Ah Alan, in the link above even though it says August, I was thinking in my head September when I saw this “selling fast” wording! selling-fast.jpg Maybe the crew in Melbourne have already seen it :) Nice to know you remembered my Babylon candle but u...

Lisa, it's really OK to say what you think about this statue and I can see where you're coming from. It doesn't matter if anyone knows the technical aspects of art or not - they know how they feel and that really is what art should make people do. In my art studio I have had for many years two sayin...

Alan, I just had a look and found this at the Sydney Film Festival in June 2020 next year https://www.sff.org.au/program/browse/marianne-leonard-words-of-love but after searching further there this link says it's sold out! https://www.sff.org.au/program/a-z/?type=all&past=yes&q=Words%20of%20Love%20 ...

Hi Michel, This may help you a little bit. The first link - https://www.npr.org/2016/10/21/498810429/leonard-cohen-on-poetry-music-and-why-he-left-the-zen-monastery is an interview by NPR with Leonard in which he mentions E E Cummings. That excerpt is below and appears to confirm Leonard has read Cu...
