HAHA. Oh man. The last crazy dude that loved me loved my pancake obsession and my ability to recite Leonard Cohen lyrics.

Goodnight, my darling, I hope you're satisfied",Leonard Cohen sang with his ironic modesty at 23.40. He started at 20.10

Every feeling in the world can be expressed in Leonard Cohen terms

Still got Leonard Cohen's beautiful 'A Thousand Kisses Deep' going through my head from last Saturday. A true poet and a perfect concert.

And just when you thought the lyrics of "Hallelujah" couldn't possibly be any sexier...

Even though it all went wrong, I stood before the Lord of Song, with nothing on... — Leonard Cohen, legendary man<3 http://ask.fm/a/4jnjpf19

Not everyone, however, is a fan:

Leonard Cohen is a giant among songwriters, but "Hallelujah" is a scourge.

Leonard Cohen y otras maneras de tener mucha clase.
Leonard Cohen and other ways of having a lot of class.

"Hallelujah" had its outing, now "Anthem" takes its turn:

Lesson 4 a tough day: A boat named Try Again, with a quote from Leonard Cohen: "4get your perfect offering" http://buff.l…

Even in the brokenness of the world, there is hope.

Trust Leonard Cohen to nail it.

The guy sure has something huh?

no one ever talks about me the way they talk about Leonard Cohen....I'm good with that...#suzanne

This is like Leonard Cohen singing a better high C than Placido Domingo at La Scala. #Wimbledon

Alex, we saw #LeonardCohen at the o2 last Friday. It was WONDERFUL & he was SUPERB. Actually MAGNIFICENT.

Wonderful.

He was

Finally got my record player working so now just gonna stay up all night playing my parents' old vinyl. Hi Leonard Cohen.

Considering all the crippling exhaustion, I should be in bed. But Leonard Cohen's on and it seems like there's a reason I'm still awake.

[HelenOE]

Leonard Cohen's voice and oh no i'm melting!

Creepily listening to Leonard Cohen's "I'm your man" in someone's front yard. Sorry 'bout that.

Leonard Cohen never requires apology. Ever. Srsly. Dude.

Como no tengo ganas de lecturas psicológicas, leeré alguno de los libros de Leonard Cohen. ¿Cuál, no lo sé? quizá el que encuentre primero.
Since I don't feel like reading psychology, I'll read one of Leonard Cohen's books. Which one, I don't know? Maybe the one I find first.

Imma just be up in here listening to Leonard Cohen on and on neva stop til da break a dawn in this city we call Long Beachhh

Neta estar chambeando y que de pronto suene #LeonardCohen no solo da paz, sino esperanza de que eventualmente todo habrá valido la pena!
To be working and suddenly hear Leonard Cohen playing not only gives peace, but hope that eventually everything will have been worth the trouble!

esta mañana he cantado una canción de Leonard Cohen en la ducha. no se porque lo he hecho. nunca antes había cantado nada de Leonard Cohen.
this morning I sang a Leonard Cohen song in the shower, I don't know why I did it, I've never sung anything by Leonard Cohen before.

Waking up on a crowded train with Leonard Cohen in my ear is a climber in my top 5 scariest things.

some day, we're going to go through this Nelson Mandela deathwatch thing with Gordie Howe and i'll be sad forever.

I'm planning a vigil for when Leonard Cohen is on his deathbed.

dammmit, that'll be a bummer, too.

I just figure he's going to live forever.

even when his body dies, his voice will linger in the air like a phantom, walking the earth for eternity.

Saw an oyster shell signed by Leonard Cohen nailed to the wall at a restaurant in Montreal. Salty omen of return.

[HelenOE]

Además hoy voy a ver a Leonard Cohen. Así que ta, digan lo que quieran.
Besides, today I'm going to see Leonard Cohen. So bye, say whatever you want.

Can't wait. Once had a great, surreal time blasting #LeonardCohen in rose garden in north #Afghanistan against Talib salvo.

#InOtherNews Leonard Cohen has not lost his voice, say doctors: it has just dropped below the range of human hearing.

Having the Backstreet Boys and Leonard Cohen on the same playlist might strike some as odd, but it works for me.

Drinking lemongrass tea and listening to Leonard Cohen and trying to calm my stormy heart. I am mournful. The world is a dim cocoon.

I still really don't get Leonard Cohen. Does that make me a bad Canadian?

I knew my ignorance of Leonard Cohen's catalog would ruin me one day

My husb: what are you doing?
Me: looking up pictures of Leonard Cohen's kids.
My husb: you should come outside:
Me: Ya, I should.

there is a reality like when u lisen bob dylan like leonard cohen And how it can actually ache in places you didn't know you had inside you.

Leonard Cohen sat in underwear beating his head on the ground writing 80 verses for 'hallelujah' then chose the best 7. That is songwriting.

Sitting in Anglesey airport, eating crisps and listening to Leonard Cohen. Enough to make a fellow thoughtful about things.

leonard cohen me toca la puerta. "me jode la llovizna", me dice. "te molesta si paso?". así estamos.
leonard cohen knocks on my door. "fuckin' drizzle gets to me," he says. "mind if I come in?" there we are.

Every time I get a twitter notification, it interrupts my Leonard Cohen. Damn.

Leonard #Cohen concert in #Mannheim is sold out! All seats at #SAPArena will be taken. 1 thing is certain, it's going to be a great show.

Breathtaking epic intro to Who by the Fire by Javier Mas - Leonard Cohen @ Mannheim.

Beautiful arrangement of Lover, Lover - Leonard Cohen @ Mannheim

Playing a Leonard Cohen CD so the dog will move off the couch.

I do like a man in a trilby especially at a rakish angle! #leonardcohen

I must NOT sing Leonard Cohen nor drink gin whilst holding a hairbrush.

Please what time is it? Leonard Cohen has actually played for 3 1/2 hours - and every single second was wonderful! # legend

Fantastic concert has come to an end. Second half full of new tempi -- brand new. Will be a must-have live album. #LeonardCohen

Ella pinta mientras yo me quedo quieto; escuchamos Leonard Cohen, Ariodante, folklore venezolano... y tomamos gin tonic
She paints while I stay quiet; we listen to Leonard Cohen, Ariodonte, Venezuelan folk music... and we drink gin and tonic.

it was like that when I saw Leonard Cohen perform on the pyramid stage as the sun went down, really was magical!

Aber ich muss zugeben: Den Innenraum-Sturm vor der Zugabe habe ich nicht kommen sehen. Ü40-Ekstase! #LeonardCohen #legend

Una mujer a quien cantarle "I'm Your Man" de Leonard Cohen...espero conquistarla de esa manera.
A woman to whom I can sing "I'm Your Man" by Leonard Cohen... I hope to win her over that way.

Leonard Cohen's best music is made whilst he's on fire. If you see him aflame, don't put him out, he's thinking lonely thoughts.

(ed. note: Only way I'm not putting that fire out is if it's the same fire as Moses saw with the burning bush, that burns but does not consume. Any other sort, bring on the fire extinguisher!)

Estoy quedándome un poco sopa con Leonard Cohen.
I'm getting a bit soaked with Leonard Cohen

Staying in a budget hotel here in New York and the couple next door have begun a bout of noisy sex. My life is like a Leonard Cohen album.

I've still yet to hear a convincing argument that Leonard Cohen and Dustin Hoffman aren't the same person.

A youth choir is singing Leonard Cohen at my gate at Pearson International Airport. #serendipitous

(dare we hope that they were singing "Anthem?" No, probably not.)

Is there anyone out there that listens to LEONARD COHEN? Seems nobody heard of this legend!!” Is he Irish :0

I am hoping that I could still make it as a backing singer for Leonard Cohen. Just need to get better at singing. And glamour.

Elvis Costello is morphing into Leonard Cohen!

Leonard Cohen's 'Book of Longing' keeps me company on a chilly Sunday night

Have you ever read Leonard Cohen's 1966 novel, "Beautiful Losers?" It's worth it! (Of course it might not be available)

gosh leonard cohen was handsome as a young folksy type but if he could re-record his entire catalogue in his current voice that’d be super.

The entire rest of the LC Twitter feed was taken up with retweets of the Leeds/London reschedule. At least the word is getting out.
