Leonard Cohen's voice is just so incredible

Leonard Cohen always manages to calm me down

Debating whether it's worth going to sleep... Feel like doing a lonesome all-nighter with Leonard Cohen. #its4am #watchthedawn

Leonard Cohen - I love love this guy. The song shake me inside

The first thing you do when listening to a Leonard Cohen record is smile.....so why do people say he's so depressing and gloomy?

My mother meant to send me the new Leonard Cohen but accidentally sent me the new Mumford & Sons instead, which is a Classic Teresa move.

Some things get better with age: Humanae Vitae, Leonard Cohen; some things do not: Mork & Mindy, Goatees, and Axl Rose.

Listening to the soothing voice of #LeonardCohen and his latest album, Old Ideas....Leonard can sing me to sleep any time.

Leonard Cohen siempre ayuda.

-Leonard Cohen eres la botella de vino mas añeja para brindar por ellas-
Leonard Cohen you're the finest bottle of aged wine to toast them with

That my father welcomes me with toasted macaroni and leonard cohen at full blast is the nicest thing that's happened to me today.

tú tan Rita Hayworth, yo tan Leonard Cohen.
You so Rita Hayworth, I so Leonard Cohen.

The fact that she's singing leonard cohen's song makes me love her so much more holy

The Lowes Memorial Day song breaks the brilliance of "Songs of Leonard Cohen" most brutally, @Spotify. So long, Marianne, now get to Lowes.

Highly recommended background music for erotic writers of a certain persuasion: Leonard Cohen, Everybody Knows

[HelenOE]

Its a Leonard Cohen type drive to work. Why? Cause he's the man, that's why.

Holy Mother of God, Leonard Cohen is a legend. Lyrics are poetry. Eat your heart out One Direction #Ceol

Viendo las filotas de gente que no duermen para ver el América vs CzAzul, creo que sólo podría pernoctar así para ver a #LeonardCohen.
Looking at the long lines of people not sleeping so they can see America vs. Cruz Azul, I think I could only stay up all night like that to see #LeonardCohen.

Apparently a woman having a Leonard Cohen tattoo is equivalent to a man having a puppy.

Am I the only person who hasn't seen Leonard Cohen live yet - even my folks have gone and I've been tuned in since I was 14!

[HelenOE]

Suzanne by Leonard Cohen is a great poem to read for those who don't like poetry. It's like a gateway poem.

No acostumbro usar twitter y percibo una energía poco agradable por acá! Mejor me dedico a escuchar a Leonard Cohen y a leer cositas por ahí
I'm not in the habit of using twitter and I notice a not-very-agreeable energy around here! I'd rather listen to Leonard Cohen and read little things around there

Llegar a casa y encontrar a tu mamá escuchando Leonard Cohen. Amo a esa tipa en serio.
Coming home and finding your mom listening to Leonard Cohen. I seriously love that chick.

There's so much in this but most of all there are several seconds of Leonard Cohen in his tighty whities http://www.nfb.ca/film/ladies_and_gentl ... ard_cohen/ …

(yes Leonard, before too long we will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of people contemplating your underwear)

Well done for the person who made a request to play #LeonardCohen in the #lifedrawing class this eve! That's when the black ink came out!

Leonard Cohen song "light as a breeze" Christian devotional or ode to cunnilingus? :O

(based on a fair knowledge of Christian devotional literature, I say the answer is "B.")

Si tenes una banda indie y no hiciste un cover de Leonard Cohen no existís.
If you have an indie band and you didn't do a Leonard Cohen cover, you don't exist.

I don't get it. What does that mean?

My best guess is that it refers to the theory that having a puppy alongside is an asset to a man who's trying to pick up women. They draw near, play with the puppy, strike up a conversation.... you know the rest.

[HelenOE]

if you ever want to make me cry all you have to do is play Leonard Cohen's Chelsea Hotel, I bawl every time

I'm at an open mic and a guy is playing a cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." Also, the sky is above me and the ground is below.

Leonard Cohen por que me has abandonado, por que estas tan lejos de mi salvación.
Leonard Cohen why have you abandoned me, why are you so far from my salvation.

Leonard Cohen's Famous Blue Raincoat still gives me goosebumps after hundreds of listens.

En este sencillo acto, declaro INMORTAL a Leonard Cohen.
In this simple act, I declare Leonard Cohen IMMORTAL.

Overheard at restaurant: girl- whos singing that? Guy-...Leonard Cohen! Girl- who?? Guy-.....seriously?? Someones relationship just ended.

If nothing else, Leonard Cohen's Beautiful Losers is the most poetic description of constipation I've ever read.

Dios se quita la máscara, es Leonard Cohen
God takes off the mask, he's Leonard Cohen

Creo que la mejor inversión de futuro que pude hacer en mi vida fue comprarme un vinilo de Leonard Cohen.
I think the best future investment that I could make in my life was buying a Leonard Cohen vinyl.

Just realised I'm going to see Leonard Cohen, The Boss and Smashing Pumpkins, all within a month. That's good gigging!

Tony Iommi's necrotized severed fingertips, Leonard Cohen's singed contract with Satan #lesserknownhardrockcafedisplays

If someone couldn't be seduced by a Leonard Cohen song, I didn't want to have sex with them anyway.

and, from the same Tweeter,

Playing Leonard Cohen albums got me laid, and laid well.

and now turning from the practical aspect to the aspirational...

Leonard Cohen is someone I definitely look up to: his intelligence, sensibility and his elegance are iconic references to me.

I saw Leonard Cohen live in his early years - he was only 74!

Tickets for Leonard Cohen at the O2 in September on sale tomorrow. You've been warned so don't come running to me if they're all gone early

[HelenOE]

If I'm ever a good of a song writer as Leonard Cohen I could die a happy boy. But that's never gonna happen. To anyone.

(well, we can hope that Leonard Cohen will die a happy boy. But not, please, anytime soon)

Vin Diesel sounds like he swallowed a pint of gravel, Leonard Cohen & a subwoofer: My review of Fast & Furious 6

Just finished reading "The Favorite Game" by Leonard Cohen. Made me lose all my faith in men and love #SHOSHAD

I take it back, just discovered Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah! And apparently the Israeli DF play it at 2am every Saturday night..

just found cfp for a Leonard Cohen conference. Do not have words for how happy this makes me. #geekbliss

Has anybody heard anything about such a conference?
And lastly, another cold and broken Hallelujah?

I'm playing some Leonard Cohen's songs with my guitar out of tune and I don't feel like tuning it. You dont know how bad the E string sounds

[HelenOE]

Leonard Cohen's voice is the tauntaun I crawl inside when I'm feeling a chill.

I'm really into #Leonard #Cohen right now. Where have I been that I'm just finding him?

"Famous Blue Raincoat" by Leonard Cohen is a pretty serious song. But if you sing it to your cat...

[HelenOE]

Okay, I lied. Bob Dylan isn't my dad, but Leonard Cohen is.

I'm just going to say it. Leonard Cohen has one of the sexiest voices of all time.

[HelenOE]

Having a debate with a bunch of 19 year olds on who is better - Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits or Bob Dylan.

I would have to say Leonard Cohen! His lyrics are poetry, his voice is deep and mystical, and he is still touring like mad!

[HelenOE]

Mum & Dad together over 40 years, "in sickness & in health" their vows. Holding fast in sickness: Dad's thanks to Mum, Leonard Cohen tickets

Finding out your psych prof likes Leonard Cohen = freakin fabulous! #CognitiveCannibals
