Happy Birthday to my Rabbi, Leonard Cohen

Today is Leonard Cohen's birthday. This is very relevant to the life I am currently living.

60s Leonard Cohen is my dream man. That mind. That voice. That nose

What are we all doing to celebrate Leonard Cohen's birthday? Why has no simultaneous global rendition of Hallelujah been arranged by govts?

It's Leonard Cohen's birthday today. Sunny right now, but we should have near-ideal Lady Midnight listening conditions later on #forecast

Leonard Cohen is a singing poet. His lyrics are pure poetry. I can not make them so. Live, his charisma is immense.

I appreciate the song "Hallelujah" more since I saw Leonard Cohen perform it live.

You can’t get Leonard Cohen off a stage.

Leonard Cohen om 1945 begonnen en nog bezig. Wat een optreden. Morgen wordt hij 79. Alive and kicking
Leonard Cohen started in 1945 and still working. What a performance. Tomorrow he is 79. Alive and kicking

Okay, Beauty Salon, I love Leonard Cohen as much as any 33 year old white girl with a Humanities degree, but it's not great Friday Music.

“@jianghomeshi: Happy 79th birthday, Leonard Cohen. You are a true inspiration.”

Todavía están a tiempo de no vivir en el error y ver el documental "Ladies and Gentlemen... Mr. Leonard Cohen" en algún punto de sus vidas.
You still have time to avoid living in error, and see the documentary "Ladies and Gentlemen... Mr. Leonard Cohen" at some point in your lives.

I've never understood why some people think #LeonardCohen's songs are depressing?I find them uplifting,sometimes hilarious, always beautiful

[HelenOE]

On the graveyard shift at work with only Leonard Cohen and Somerset Maugham to entertain me.

And a happy one day belated birthday to Leonard Cohen. Thank you for the lifelong inspiration in times both light and dark.

put down my geo book and picked up a volume of leonard cohen poems and lyrics about a week ago and haven't looked back since. oops.

Am proposing a moratorium on mopey boys covering Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah on acoustic guitars to cover period from now until end of time.

After working all morning now chilling out watching the waves at Ynyslas and listening to Leonard Cohen. He's not that depressing honest.

Trying to psyche out my dad by listening to Leonard Cohen songs and eating cigarettes without breaking eye contact. He refuses to weep.

Girl with perspex violin and old guy who always sings Leonard Cohen just jammed together to do Hallelujah! #LeedsBuskers

(does a Perspex violin sound better than a plywood one?)

I understand there is ongoing discussion about posting/not posting Tweets re Leonard Cohen, and where to put them. I used to block out this discussion, so I'm lost as to what the conclusion was.
Are the Tweets now to be posted here, or are they taking over the whole Forum ?

I'ts really annoying to wade through random products of ADHD published on the Internet ...
Anybody Internet-literate can search for them, there is no need to proliferate Internet debris ...

That's too funny... why are you doing it then ?

[John Etherington]

mirka - Back in the 1970s when Leonard was still widely regarded as the "grocer of despair" he was asked why he thought people came to his concerts. He used an analogy to the effect that if a tragedy happens, such as a road accident, people will come to stare at it out of some kind of morbid fascination. I guess that is what is happening, here!

It is a mystery to me why people who don't enjoy the content of a given thread persist in reading that thread. There's no law of heaven or of earth that says every word on the forum has to be read.

[Neophyte]

Kinda disappointing to come here to enjoy the tweets and find these disparaging remarks. There are threads that don't interest me, too, but I don't go to them and certainly don't have any less respect for them just because they're not my preference.

[HelenOE]

Leonard Cohen will be 80 next year. And he's still making beautiful things. For me, he's more than a role model.

Leonard Cohen is fucking amazing

Sexual references disguised as religious metaphor is what I live for, a la Leonard Cohen.

After all these years, I just picked up on the Leonard Cohen reference in "Pennyroyal Tea."

If you put any rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" as the soundtrack to any scene, I will bawl my eyes out each and every time

Leonard Cohen makes everything better

Whisky, Leonard Cohen y este teclado maldito que no da tregua a mis dedos. Estoy listo para la batalla.
Whisky, Leonard Cohen and this damn keyboard that doesn't give my fingers any respite. I'm ready for the battle.

My mission, for the time I have left, is to introduce as many people as possible to the wonders of Leonard Cohen.... http://fb.me/2UoxAX1u5

"Democracy" es una de esas canciones de Leonard Cohen que puedo escuchar y escuchar y escuchar y escuchar...
"Democracy" is one of those Leonard Cohen songs that I can listen to, and listen to, and listen to, and listen to...

Also, Leonard Cohen's 'Everybody Knows' is great accompaniment to driving through a corn field. Or probably, most other things.

El gran Leonard Cohen y su voz d frecuencia abismal.Cumple 79 años. El canadiense no sprepara para el futuro, lo pisotea
The great Leonard Cohen and his voice deep as the abyss. He's turning 79 years old. The Canadian doesn't prepare for the future, he stomps on it

Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne" playing in starbks. Apparently someone on staff thinks the customers look a little too happy with being alive....

So happy I'm listening to Leonard Cohen and eating palak paneer and not watching the emmys.

So what if I have notebook on my favourite Leonard Cohen quotes? I call it perpetual admiration.

[HelenOE]

Oh please let the new Arcade Fire track 'Joan of Arc' be a Leonard Cohen cover.

Okay America: closing up shop. Listening to Leonard Cohen's "Everybody Knows" on repeat til my brain slides out. Will be back tomorrow!

Lenny debuts a new tune in Dublin - then its off to Australia. Does he ever rest?

#LeonardCohen in 1975 chose to have a Rootbeer float w/chocolate ice cream & snuggle w/2 #feminists Happy 79th! http://fb.me/2apgoURBR

I'm so sad today i'm playing Leonard Cohen to cheer me up ........

Desconfiad de un hombre que use calcetines blancos. Siempre.

No podría estar más de acuerdo.
I couldn't agree more.

listening to leonard cohen --> read about his reaction to kurt cobain mentioning him --> read cobain's suicide note --> gonna be sad all day

Apparently I have an opera singer for a neighbor. I'm not complaining. He's singing a pretty good rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah."

Someone in my class quoted Leonard Cohen today "the poor stay poor, the rich get rich" when talking about Canada

I'm here too. Let's party, ladies!

*parties, firmly sitting down*

And that from someone who went to Leonard Cohen last week. Twice.

if leonard cohen were a movie he would be casablanca

Sometimes, most of the time, all I wanna do with my time is google Leonard Cohen lyrics and watch The Wire.

[HelenOE]

Leonard Cohen singing "Bird on a Wire" is laying everybody in the #starbucks lowwwww. #nightmusic #butThisisDaytime

In florists other customer singing a Leonard Cohen song under her breath... expect lyrics to pop up, probably in Candy

Definitely just talked about Leonard Cohen in my philosophy homework.

Also by @lianlunson is the LEONARD COHEN I'M YOUR MAN, which makes you want to move to Greece and write songs.

Just accidentally locked eyes with someone while Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" was playing. I'll let you know when the wedding is.

Reckon I performed the definitive version of Tower of Song on the drive home tonight. Commiserations and that to Leonard Cohen.

I never even knew it was possible to love a man iv never met before, Leonard Cohen I love you so much.

Tonight I learned I shouldn't jog while listening to Leonard Cohen. But now I'm compiling a list of songs it'd be hilarious if he covered.

can kind of but not really hear the neighbor's music & it isn't Leonard Cohen but now I have an insatiable desire to hear Leonard Cohen.

If you don't like Leonard Cohen, well, we can still be friends, but seriously, why not???

Too loud, too many flashing lights. Melodies lost. Nicks voice now harsh and grating. Go to Leonard Cohen concert and see how it is done.

Gordon Lightfoot is Leonard Cohen without the sex appeal, right?

Leonard Cohen es y sera siempre grande.
Leonard Cohen is and always will be great.

Leonard Cohen es viejo porque quiere.
Leonard Cohen is old because he wants to be.

No matter how angry I am. Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" calms me down the moment it starts playing.
