Re: One Very Underrated Song from Every Leonard Cohen Album
[/quote] ...I often feel that I too have a highway that is "curling up like smoke" above my shoulder. Vickie [/quote] I can vouch for Vickie's association with curling highways. Six years ago we took a trip to the US Northwest, and we planned a leg that would take us to where Vickie and Da...

Re: Along the way... Discovering Leonard's albums
The wine might not have been expensive, but I will forever remember how perfect drinking it was as the early October sun moved down in the sky and the electricity in the air rose. One of the wine bearers was a delightful young woman from South Africa, I no longer remember her real name, but her foru...

Re: never-ending gallery
I figured you have been too immersed in the Shelley books to post.

Re: Hello, I'm new to this forum... (introducing yourselves)
As Leonard was fond of saying, greetings! My history with Cohen was similar to yours--SOLAH was the album that enticed me, but then I lost touch with him and his music, but my rediscovery did not occur until 2010. I always loved the Waiting for the Miracle lyrics, in particular, the final verse, but...

Re: One Very Underrated Song from Every Leonard Cohen Album
Bev, when you said a song on the list was a forum member's favorite on its album I thought of Vickie, but with respect to "The Stranger Song." She will need to straighten this out. Stay tuned, I am working on a list of my sixth-favorite songs from each album, to be accompanied by a 1,000 w...

Re: Song Meanings
To me "A Bunch of Lonesome Heroes" has always been one of Leonard's most enigmatic songs Eylul, as for the reference to crickets, Cohen seemed to have had some sort of fascination with those insects, they are mentioned in several of his songs and poems. If B4real notices this post, she may...

Re: Along the way... Discovering Leonard's albums
Bill, as long as we are reminiscing, did you by any chance follow up the September 28, 2012 L'Olympia concert with the Barcelona concert five days later (I see you saw the 2009 Barcelona show)? That was quite a show as well, and Javier--being close to his hometown--was adored by the audience. Barcel...

Re: Along the way... Discovering Leonard's albums
Lisa & Alan, FBR is my favorite Leonard song, so I very much enjoyed reading your responses! When I first heard the new "Sincerely...a friend" ending I disliked it immensely because the quirkiness of using his own name in the lyrics was something that first attracted me to the song. Bu...

Re: never-ending gallery
Bev, great linkage of the photo to Leonard's lyrics! Also, it reminded me of how nice a place Montreal is to visit...but not in the winter, I enjoy winter less and less each year. And Lisa, I try to avoid being serious whenever an opportunity presents itself. I cannot fathom minus 38, I'm not crazy ...

Lisa, your thermometer must be broken. Hold a lighter underneath it for a while, that should fix it.
Geoffrey, your weather forecast is downright scary, be careful not to step into a you-know-what.

Re: Along the way... Discovering Leonard's albums
Bill, your "signature" indicates that you were at L'Olympia in 2008, did you also return in 2012? In any case, it is always nice to rekindle someone's warm memories!

Re: Along the way... Discovering Leonard's albums
murphy, How serendipitous to discover your post. Although this thread died of natural causes ages ago, I wanted to post something on the forum today and, for lack of a better place, decided to do so here, and your post popped up! I can still vividly picture and hear this performance of "The Par...
