FEISSSTTTTTT IS HERE.

SO GOOD LIVE.

She wasn't even supposed to perform but she showed up like a godamn angel and sang Leonard Cohen. At a Bob Dylan concert. Happy.

Tonight is Leonard Cohen, my Nancy chewing her nylabone, rain on the windowpanes, and the ceiling fan ticking like a clock.

Para meditar prefiero a Leonard Cohen sobre excéntricos cantos d ballenas, flores sobre cuarzos y Mapalés sobre el calenturiento bikram yoga
For meditation I prefer Leonard Cohen over eccentric whale songs, flowers over quartz crystals, and Mapalés over feverish Bikram yoga.

Playing Leonard Cohen in the office. So far, no complaints.

No confío en nadie que no sea Leonard Cohen
I don't trust anyone who isn't Leonard Cohen

I would just like to take the time and say thank you to Canada for Leonard Cohen.

Leonard Cohen, siempre llega a lo más profundo, a lo más hondo.
Leonard Cohen always reaches the most profound places, the deepest places.

Still going through my music alphabet. Got to Leonard Cohen's 'If It Be Your Will' ...Instant chills. Instant.

[HelenOE]

The #master is at it again! #leonardcohen #berlin #amazing #oneofthegreatest #goldenvoice @ o2 World

That pic was the back of a Leonard Cohen LP, just in case anyone needed confirmation as to what a pretentious bellend I am.

I love Leonard Cohen! Am I pretentious? (don't answer that until I've had time to remove my Napoleon hat and epaulets)

Course not. I'm just being a dick for a change. I love Leonard Cohen more than anything.

Thank you Leonard Cohen, it was beautiful with you tonight!

#Leonard #Cohen Ladies and Gentlemen!! Three hours of pure awesomeness.

Thank you Mr. #LeonardCohen. Those 3 hours of your golden voice will stay in my dearest memories forever. #Berlin @LeonardOnTour @o2de #live

Un día te hice el amor apasionadamente mientras en mi cabeza sonaba Halelujah de Leonard Cohen. Espero que tu tampoco lo olvides.
One day I made love passionately to you while Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen was playing in my head. I hope you won't forget it either.

If I were a wizard, my patronus would be Leonard Cohen.

I wanna get drunk go to a karaoke bar and sing diamonds in the mine by Leonard Cohen. Wanna come?

Der Mann sieht heute Leonard Cohen live. Meine Pizza und ich machen uns auch einen schönen Abend.
The husband is seeing Leonard Cohen live. My pizza and I will also have a beautiful evening.

When my son (7, has #autism) asks to listen to Nick Drake or Leonard Cohen at bedtime as he's falling asleep, I know I did something right.

Local radio station is doing a Leonard Cohen vinyl hour. That man writes song lyrics that always hit me like an arrow.

oh my Leonard Cohen in denim cutoffs. My day is made.

People can dog on Starbucks all they like but name another public place that has bathrooms, is air conditioned and plays Leonard Cohen.

Fuck, I think I am beginning to enjoy Leonard Cohen.

Apparently I also have a new travel preference -- falling asleep on a plane while listening to Leonard Cohen. Very interesting half-dreams.

#Elvis lets loose to 300 fans in #Berlin, ie everyone not at Leonard Cohen. #WhatsSoFunnyBoutPeaceLove&Understanding

#leonardcohen 5. Zugabe vor 17000 @o2WorldBerlin. "I hope you're satisfied". Nein! Und schon kommt Nr. 6 - "Save the last dance for me"
#leonardcohen 5th encore in front of 17,000 at 02 World Berlin. "I hope you're satisfied." No! And then comes No. 6- "Save the last dance for me"

Further proof that Leonard Cohen is a genius: He wrote the chords of "Hallelujah" right into the lyrics so he'd never forget how to play it.

I really don't think there's a better poetic lyricist than Leonard Cohen, I've searched, but in vain. Leonard forever.

Leonard Cohen night. A soul’s soothing balm.

6th time seeing #leonardcohen live, never seen anything like this - gave it his all tonight…

Abschied für immer? #LeonardCohen beim Konzert in #Berlin: "Ich weiß nicht, ob wir uns noch mal wiedersehen."
Goodbye forever? # Leonardcohen at the concert in # Berlin: "I do not know if we'll meet again another time."

If Leonard Cohen's concert in Ljubljana is half as good as this one in Berlin, it'll still be awesomely epic! Amazing legend!

Jedes Mal, wenn Leonard Cohen lächelt, wird ein Engel geboren.
Every time Leonard Cohen smiles, an angel is born

(I like that. Heaven must have been having a bit of a population bump these last few years)

Leonard Cohen killed it again!!

[HelenOE]

Crying because Leonard Cohen. #Ilovethisman

Leonard Cohen always bums me out omg. "Take This Longing" just came on and now im just laying here contemplating everything I thought I knew

Leonard catches them coming (into the world):

Reading #LeonardCohen poetry to my 3-month-old. She listens.
She smiles.

...and going:

Love Calls You By Your Name - Leonard Cohen (la última canción que me gustaría escuchar antes de morir...)
Love Calls You By Your Name - Leonard Cohen (the last song that I'd like to hear before I die...)

'Right. You went to art school. Of COURSE you dated someone who liked Leonard Cohen' #lezbhonest

I may have too many gadgets. I just answered my iPod and spent 3 minutes talking to Leonard Cohen before I realize what I was doing.

Female fan of Leonard Cohen just said to me "Oh come on, you must be a little bit gay for Leonard." My dirty secret is out...

Came home to a bob Dylan vinyl and a leonard Cohen vinyl.

Mum's top.

Leonard Cohen es todo un señor. Ama a las mujeres, no las intenta comprender y las trata como hay que tratar a las mujeres...
Leonard Cohen is a complete gentleman. He loves women, he doesn't try to understand them and he treats them like women should be treated...

it's Canada's 3rd greatest creation, after Leonard Cohen and the Coffee Crisp. A Caramilk out of the freezer is the best

It's so hot even Leonard Cohen isn't cool anymore

I want to see Leonard Cohen play live all over again. I would also like him to sing me to sleep every night, please.

Lo sé muchachos, Leonard Cohen es un ganador
I know, boys, Leonard Cohen is a winner.

Any moment of the day is ideal to smell old like Leonard Cohen.

Hey Mad Men, you've only got one more season to use a Leonard Cohen song.

So glad I happen to be following this account, otherwise I would have missed the series of tweets below, since "Leonard Cohen" isn't mentioned, and my search wouldn't have caught it.

What a wonderful Mum. Thank you Helen for these tweets - keep them coming!

[HelenOE]

Apparently Geoffrey Chaucer wasn't quite as "here endeth" as he thought he was:

And yt nys nat a waylinge hearde a-nighte, nor no Margery Kempe who hath seene the lighte, yt ys a snowey and a frangible Benedicite.

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen. Sex itself.

I was singing along to Leonard Cohen in the shower this morning. What he was doing in my room is beyond me.

I'm sure it was entirely platonic, Mr. Stormbeard.

You mean there are great music choices that are not Leonard Cohen? Surely not.

The Sisters of Mercy are not departed or gone...http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/18/boomi ... cohen.html … @nytimes

Leonard Cohen has SOUL. Which is something I've never said about another Canadian and don't think I ever will.

To Leonard Cohen -hungry as an archway... speaks to me of passion & violation. Moves me deeply but don't know why. Tell me

Leonard Cohen is my hero. Bob Dylan WAS my hero, but... The Christmas Album.

[HelenOE]

Leonard Cohen: gran artista, gran ser humano...
Leonard Cohen: great artist, great human being...

Some Saturdays, the only reasonable thing to do is to put on some Leonard Cohen, get down on your knees, and scrub the floors.

Anxious that Leonard Cohen tickets come soon so I can bask in the velvet grace of his voice + the profound wisdom of his words

[HelenOE]

Pam and I are pantsless, dancing and singing to covers of Leonard Cohen songs. Today is a good day.

While 99% of bikers dt are blaring AC/DC, my heart is with the one blaring Leonard Cohen. Here's to you for fighting
stereotypes!

WOW LEONARD COHEN YOU GIVE ME HEART ACHES (

Damn you Leonard Cohen for your beautiful poetry that I just analyze and memorize! It's so hard to pick just two.

My last Saturday before the summer holidays and I'm spending it listening to Leonard Cohen alone while everyone downstairs is pissed.

La voz de Leonard Cohen podría hacerme partirme en dos.
The voice of Leonard Cohen could make me split in two.

#leonardcohen On bucket list. Manchester August . Hope I stay alive long enough to see. Mesothelioma

Y algo original: el baile con papás y hermanos fue una de Leonard Cohen, Dance me to the end of love.
And something original: the dance with dads and brothers was one of Leonard Cohen's, Dance Me to the End of Love

Mind blown. Gonna woodburn this Leonard Cohen quote onto the tree skins & piece it on the lampshade

(it was the "there is a crack..." quote from Anthem)
And too bad we can't introduce this tweeter:

Escuchando a Leonard Cohen, me dan ganas de buscar una mujer.
Listening to Leonard Cohen, it makes me want to look for a woman.

to this tweeter:

It'd be cool if i had a cool guy friend who would listen to Leonard cohen with me and eat pizza.

Oh sorry - I just woke up - too hot! and saw your tweet-- sending big hug and this (video of Anthem)

“Let’s play this song Leonard Cohen spent years toiling over as a way to celebrate this guy getting over his impotence.”

Dick.

And is the person below doomed to disappointment, or not?

Listening to Leonard Cohen to reassure myself that somewhere, somehow, a husband actually loves his wife

WHY MY CAT IS SAD ‏@MYSADCAT
My cat is sad because he never makes any money when he goes busking, since people find his songs too depressing.

@MYSADCAT It doesn't seem to have hurt Leonard Cohen.

A question of ethics:

What would a utilitarian say about the desire to buy a Leonard Cohen box set, I wonder?

Leonard Cohen teach me your ways.

Leonard Cohen please do a duet with Adam Cohen please please please

The infinite self regard of these kids is sadder than Leonard Cohen, sung by a homeless man, being kicked to death for a sponsored Vine.

VIA Rail put me on hold and their hold music is Suzanne by Leonard Cohen. I could've been on hold all day and not minded. #WellDoneCanuck

Leonard Cohen toca en Praga hoy. mi sueño

Leonard Cohen always has the right answer. Ain't No Cure For Love confirms it.

We won a plush squid at the Barron Country Fair and now are filking Leonard Cohen songs.

I don't have to tell you things are bad, like Leonard Cohen said, "Everybody Knows."

Que no se pierda la bonita costumbre de escuchar al Maestro Leonard Cohen
I hope the lovely custom of listening to Maestro Leonard Cohen will not be lost.

Leonard Cohen is better than Bob Dylan

The song "Democracy" by Leonard Cohen sums up America perfectly...

Leonard #Cohen gave an outstanding performance tonight in #Prague. The man and his band were at their very best. Epic concert.

Somebody told me about the superman / batman movie. Wonder which 1980s Leonard Cohen ballad will score their interminable slo-mo love scene.

I'm alone in a huge city. I love adventure. Crying not allowed. That's it. Deleting Leonard Cohen from my playlist.

Ojalá tuviera la voz Leonard Cohen. Menos en ocasiones en las que me vuelvo loco, en esos casos desearía tener la de David Eugene Edwards.

Hey Mad Men, you've only got one more season to use a Leonard Cohen song.

I was thinking the same thing Esther since Mad Men is so into associating with current culture of the time. Keep 'em coming Helen - I love them!

Edit - What do you mean Esther that is the last season of Mad Men

[HelenOE]

Apenas empecé 'Beautiful Losers' de Leonard Cohen y, si musicalmente ya me parecía genio, literariamente pinta para lo mismo. #TeamCohen
I just started "Beautiful Losers" by Leonard Cohen, and if he already seemed like a genius to me musically, it's looking like the same thing as far as literature.

Manual for living with defeat. Bourbon-soaked poetry of Leonard Cohen. #nowreading

Yes, esp now that I'm watching Kelly Lynch in drag lip-sync to Leonard Cohen #OMG #TheLWord

Leonard Cohen At the O2 in Prague last night. 3 hrs of sublime performing. At 78 the man oozes charisma and inspiration.

Last night I lived with Leonard Cohen and we had a kitten. #dreams

I'll take Leonard Cohen any day over Tom Waits. No, I don't know why I'm comparing them like that. They're not footy teams.

What does it say about Mondays when Leonard Cohen is the soundtrack of choice?

It's Monday, it's misty, but no worry, I'm listening to Leonard Cohen

And this is the part of summer where I slowly start coming down, reading books, and listening to Leonard Cohen on the daily.

Leonard Cohen is a poet and a gentle man.

I'm hoping Leonard Cohen can heal all these open wounds.

Every time I listen to Leonard Cohen, I fucking regret not having seen him when he came to Vigo.

The best songs sound especially sweet in the voices of their creators

I love that, on July 22, there's a billboard on 42 Street advertising Leonard Cohen's 'Old Ideas' tour on April 6 & 7.

Or maybe he'll write the preface instead:

Give me a Leonard Cohen afterword...

On car trips we each got a 2-song turn then rotated. My Dad always played Leonard Cohen. We made a one-Cohen-per-turn rule

Lana's cover of Leonard Cohen's "Chelsea Hotel #2" is the greatest thing since the Declaration of Independence.

Ah, a hot bath, incense, and Leonard Cohen playing in the background. I AM ALL THAT IS MAN!!!

This day is ending with a lot of Leonard Cohen so you could say it's ending well.

[HelenOE]

You're allowed to be depressed for the length of one (1) Leonard Cohen album. Then, you have to listen to Styx's "Paradise Theater." #result

There are no words. That was other worldly. I cannot believe she's human. So lucky to have experienced that [Beyoncé] concert.

I felt like that with Leonard Cohen. We're gonna have to find a middle ground if we want to be twitter besties

Empezamos la mañana de musica con un grande muy grande LEONARD COHEN
Let's start the morning of music with a great very great LEONARD COHEN

On a happier note, I got new headphones (my old ones broke), and Leonard Cohen's voice is even more brain-meltingly gorgeous.

Random thought: I think I'd like to meet Leonard Cohen someday...no particular reason, just want to say hey, cool name, Cohen.
