Happy birthday, Mr Cohen
There is such a great river of love flowing to you.
Your poetry so often was the only light which gave me the strength to move on.
I will never find words strong enough to thank you in an adequate manner :oops: .
May this day present you with health, strength, light, love and many more beautiful things for the time to come.
Silence
and a deeper silence
when the crickets
hesitate

I wish you the most heartfelt and happiest of birthdays. I have experienced such deep emotions and learned so much from you and your music over the past 40 years, since I was a teenager .... I've always been completely in love with your music and now I've been lucky enough to see you perform live twice this year, in London and in Bilbao, and I'm even more in love. You are just wonderful and to have seen you perform live has been totally amazing. I have heard often that your concerts are the best live performances ever seen, and I've heard this from performers themselves .... who see many many performances.

I confer with all the great things that have been written below. I'll never be able to convey adequate thanks to you. You have taught me so much. I listen now to your songs that I listened to 40 years ago, and I learn different things. What wisdom.

I wish I was in Barcelona tonight. I'll be dreaming of being there of course.

I wonder if you read these comments. Your words have inspired, comforted and brought joy to so many. Thank you thank you thank you thank you. Happy 75th birthday.

Happy Birthday Leonard !
For 40 years I listen to your songs every day. Thanks to "Stichting Ambulancewens" I was present at your show in Antwerp, the 4th of July.
It was the greatest moment of my life. Many thanks to you and the band for this wonderful evening.
I wish you a long, happy and healthy life.
Thank you Mr Leonard Cohen for the music, the poetry, the songs, your kindness. Take good care of yourself.
With love and respect,

Dearest Mr. Cohen, what a revelation you have been to me! Seeing your courage and grace for myself at one of your concerts this summer and being transported by the joy that your musical gift (and those of your fellow musicians) brought to all of us, I was inspired (at the age of 50!) to somehow find a way to make music myself, if on a very humble scale in comparison. Having purchased my first guitar, I have signed up for guitar and voice lessons and how fitting it is that my first lesson is later today, on your birthday, when I begin to learn enough to be able to play your gorgeous songs :)
Hoping you have a lovely birthday and that the love we all feel for you envelops you tonight in a warm hug.

I hope to be there in spirit
