"The blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold and it has overturned the order of the soul." Adult contemporary my ass. #LeonardCohen
Bah today is too bloody nice...Time to balance it out with some Old Ideas by Leonard Cohen
I just ordered two books with guitar and piano parts for basically all of Leonard Cohen songs. I can't even. This is life. I am excitement.
Leonard Cohen always strikes a chord in me. He makes me feel so many emotions all at once. He is one of the greatest poets of our time
I'm not sure how to feel about Canada. On the one hand they got Leonard Cohen and syrup but on the other hand they have Nickleback.
Another sleepless night. Just remembering Leonard Cohen in Birmingham on Sunday - problem is, it's making me too excited to sleep. X w x
Oh my god, Leonard Cohen is fixing everything for me tonight.
I don't want to study for the SAT, I just want to listen to listen to Leonard Cohen and lay here
Leonard Cohen. Qué paz.
Leonard Cohen. What peace.
Leonard Cohen was amazing at his Birmingham show on Sunday!
Maybe listening to super sad Leonard Cohen music this morning was not such a good idea!

Leonard Cohen is always a good idea.
I was listening to a very relaxing Leonard Cohen's album.. and now.. I have to listen to dark metal. I think I'm gonna get into a fight.
I wish I had knees and thighs like Leonard Cohen. More than 3 hours on stage, up and down like an 18 year old. Sounded in fine form too.

So lucky to have seen #LeonardCohen at the LG Arena in Birmingham - quite simply AMAZING !
Anthem - Leonard Cohen
A true gentle man. His poesy sublime, his generosity to others unmatched.
Protip: if you wanna class up your day in a second, play some Leonard Cohen.
Ticketmaster seem to be still trying to sell Leonard Cohen tickets on Facebook. Has the Leonard Cohen bubble burst?
Missão de hoje: Baixar o primeiro Leonard Cohen, que é muito foda e tem Suzanne.
Mission today: Download the first Leonard Cohen, which is very cool and has Suzanne.
Should be buying course books and diss books. Bought three books of Leonard Cohen poetry instead. #goodjobcurtis
Roger Waters at MEN 16th. Will have to go some to outdo venerable Leonard Cohen. #Rock Heroes

nothing can outdo Leonard Cohen!

I agree but still hoping for a knockout show. Waters selected Bird on a Wire for his Desert Island discs..
How is Hallelujah such a powerful song? The only cover that's awful is that eurobeat H&M dance version... #leonardcohen #eurodancefail
I think this morning calls for Leonard Cohen.
Oops, I have to be careful whose muse I borrow. I wonder whether Myshkin & Leonard Cohen are missing half a song each this evening?
Cenè solo a la luz d las velas. No se si estoy de vuelta de algunas cosas o si estoy a 5 cms de ser una naftalina humana.
I ate supper alone by the light of the candles. I don't know whether I'm on my way back from some things or whether I'm 5 cm. away from being a human mothball.

Estás a 5 cms de ser un monje zen...( como Leonard Cohen :-)
You're 5 cm away from being a zen monk... (like Leonard Cohen :-)
He's singing the beach boys but he sounds like Leonard Cohen... #breakingmyheart

I'm four parts Leonard Cohen, to one part Vanilla Ice.
Third time seeing @msimpsonian in Cardiff. Fantastic performance - just like Leonard Cohen he keeps getting better #folk #banjo
Leonard Cohen tomorrow. I'm deliriously happy about that situation.
Hoy no es mi mejor dia, llueve en londres , esta gris hace dias y se me ocurrio poner los grandes exitos de Leonard Cohen. Dios.
Today is not my best day, it's raining in London, it's been gray for days and it occurred to me to put on Leonard Cohen's greatest hits. God.
I'm sitting here listening to Leonard Cohen sing "Amen" from his latest album. I mean, uh, this is real. This is

Why is Leonard Cohen in this Buffalo Wild Wings commercial?
Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah bodyslams Jeff Buckley's anyday of the week.
Branden James singing Hallelujah was terrific! Leonard Cohen's is still better though. #leonardcohenfan
Quiero la voz de Leonard Cohen. Y su sombrero
I want the voice of Leonard Cohen. And his hat
I also have a difficult time with unetaneh tokef. http://blogs.forward.com/sisterhood-blo ... who-shall/

How this article did not mention Leonard Cohen's "Who By Fire" is beyond me.
Leonard Cohen. EXCELLENT soundtrack choice. #SonsOfAnarchyFX #SonsOfAnarchy
WTH. I need to pray after seeing that. Thank God they have Leonard Cohen singing to me.
#SOAFX love the Leonard Cohen song!
If you can listen to Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah without crying like a baby, you have tinfoil for a heart.
There is nothing that sitting back and listening to some Leonard Cohen can't solve. Or at least make better.
what if this whole time i've been leonard cohen tricking you all. wouldn't that be quite the plot twist...

...after having to spend all year awkwardly alternating between shorty short pj bottoms and heavy heavy flannel ones i finally got normal jams

imagine leonard cohen in shorty short pj bottoms

that was me last night excuse me. like you SAID you perfer handsome men but for me you would make an exception and now this

this has created sth

yeah well u know. creating classic songs. creating classic tweets. all in a days work for me, leonard cohen.

u do periods a lot more now that youre outwardly leonard cohen

like a bird on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir, i have tried in my way to be free of punctuation.
Well #SOA new season started with a bang- going to be another weird, wild f'd up season! Interesting to close show w/ a Leonard Cohen song
And let the heavens hear it. The penitential hymn. Come healing of the spirit. Come healing of the limb

Leonard Cohen is rolling over in Jeff Buckley's grave tonight, as soon as Rufus Wainwright finishes digging the hole. #AGT
The time that I abandon my personal goal to start every paper with a Leonard Cohen quote is now.
Has Leonard Cohen no home to go to?
¿Mi chico? NO ¿Acaso puedo soñar con Leonard Cohen desnudo y en el oscurito? NO ¿Clive Owen? NO, Gracias por nada cerebro.
My boy? NO Maybe I can dream about Leonard Cohen naked and in the darkness? NO Clive Owen? NO, Thanks for nothing, brain.
Would anyone like to sneak me in their pocket into the Leonard Cohen gig tonight? Pretty please!
The ballads on #SOA to highlight emotion are vastly under rated; last night, "Come Healing," by Leonard Cohen, haunted me. Beautiful...
Sons of Anarchy FEEEELINGS! Mainly - THEY USED LEONARD COHEN! I can go be happy now.
Dear Mr Leonard Cohen, I'm glad you've invested in a roof this time round...
public schools should mandate that children learn basic financial literacy and a working knowledge of leonard cohen's greatest hits
If Leonard Cohen (79 in a fortnight) wasn't half way through a longish set at the LG Arena, you'd say he was sprightly.

I'd say he WAS sprightly!

were you there? Amazing wasnt it? I'm not a devotee, just went along, and was (increasingly, during 3.5 hours) mesmerised.

I was indeed. Loved his vitality & the way the voice, the words & the music express the life he has lived. #leonardcohen
@leonardcohen in the middle of an amazing soundcheck! Should be one epic show! #leonardcoheno2dub

Días como este deben terminar con música de Leonard Cohen
Days like this should end with Leonard Cohen music
i remember feeling alone on earth in a slum laundry-mat in Paris, France. Leonard Cohen in my headphones.
"Recommended: Hip Hop [Because you listened to Nirvana and Leonard Cohen]" <~~ ¿Qué carajos le pasa a Grooveshark?
Recommended: Hip Hop [Because you listened to Nirvana and Leonard Cohen]" <~~ What the fuck is wrong with Grooveshark?
Throat hurts from doing perfect Leonard Cohen impressions for the last 10 minutes.
Listening to Leonard Cohen Live in London, drinking tea, and debugging javascript with a dog in my lap. Not half bad.
"Hallelujah" should not be refereed to as the Shrek song. Very disrespectful to the late Buckley and the great Leonard Cohen
Michael D was at the last Leonard Cohen concert I was at, with Gerry Adams there tonight. I know how to attract the politicians!
Maybe I was sitting a bit too far from the stage, but did illya kuryakin play keyboards for Leonard Cohen last night?
Heading to the 02 shortly to see Leonard Cohen. Don't ask I have no idea who he is but I'm sure I will enjoy it anyway xx
Leonard Cohen played for over three hours and I cried a bit. What an amazing man.

Jazz Police by Leonard Cohen really is quite hilariously bad. Especially when the rest of I'm Your Man is astonishingly good.
What a night at the O2! Leonard Cohen concerts are the closet thing I've ever had to a religious experience. His music touches my soul.
Hands still sore from applause at Leonard Cohen last night. So worth it. Amazing concert. Such professional. Onstage over 3 hours.

Helen,

Bless your heart for posting all these tweets. I still feel they should be allowed in the appropriate concert threads where we can get another perspective on how concert-goers felt. Do not allow a few people who think these should not be posted in those threads intimidate you. They give us all a better understanding of how the evening progressed. Thank you Helen!

Warmest regards,

*white boy picks up an acoustic guitar for the first time* "I need to cover Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' put it on youtube"

Everything about this is incorrect. No white boy knows Leonard Cohen. They would say "Jeff Buckley's 'Hallelujah'". #sofrat
Ok, folks, time to get ready for Kol Nidre! See you after the fasting and repentance.

and Leonard Cohen's Who By Fire. Trust me: the closest we have to a Yom Kippur carol.
Oh that voice! Totally removes undergarments within a ten foot radius of it ;) Leonard Cohen - Come Healing: http://youtu.be/ueHqPGk_ybc
had to improvise new words to "Rory rides me raw" by the vaselines after the kids heard me singing in the kitchen and demanded to learn it.

Does every mom like Leonard Cohen ?
Today, as part of my plan to become a little more like Leonard Cohen every day, I bought a trilby. Tomorrow I'm getting circumcised.

This time yesterday I was caught up in the magic of Leonard Cohen. Now I'm sat on the sofa, alone, in pajamas, eating toast #24littlehours
Very few songs hurt so wonderfully and woefully as Chelsea Hotel #2 by Leonard Cohen.

I believe Leonard Cohen was born to make us shudder on days like this. He's the hot chocolate for the ears.

Covered by Leona on an X Factor final very soon.

Enough of these food tweets, Daisy! Off to Temple & an easy fast! (I hope it is easy.) XOXO

no wonder you were happy to tweet eats. Tweats? Happy Yom Kippur, or whatever the more appropriate wish is!

that works! Rabbi referenced Leonard Cohen. We all sang his "Hallelujah". Gorgeous. :)
La voz de Leonard Cohen es como un susurro en la nuca.
The voice of Leonard Cohen is like a whisper at the nape of your neck.

Listening to Leonard Cohen. What a prince! Have posted "Anthem" on FB. How brilliant that we can share such joys instantly. Am so grateful.
