It's weird when you want to talk about something but you have no words to do the subject justice. I just spent ten minutes typing and deleting...

If there ever was an equal to Dylan as a songwriter it was Cohen. Heard the new album a couple weeks ago and loved it. We're running pretty low on legends from his era and that's very depressing to think about.

Unbelievable loss. Wasn't it just a few weeks/month ago we were getting news of Cohen going back and forth on whether he was ready to die or not? Did he pull a Bowie? I'll miss him.

Saw him in 2012. At almost 40, it was weird being one of the youngest people there. But man, did he put on a show. He had a great rapport with the audience and a self-depricating sense of humor that was completely beguiling.

A remarkable man, a remarkable talent and a remarkable life.

I deleted my thread. Feel like we only need one.

This is a shame 🙁 He knew he was going soon though. It's just sad to see one of Canada's greats leave us.

He lived a long life, had a career that spanned decades, and released a discography that'll leave him remembered for the ages. Going to be spinning a bit of him today.

RIP Leonard.

It was difficult listening to his latest record and not feel like his death was right around the corner. Didn't feel like it would be so soon though.

Much like Bowie, he left us with an otherworldly effort right before he passed. It's great to see these artists making such a statement so close to the end.

I'll be giving it another listen today.

We used to listen to So Long Marianne in the car when I was a kid. I remember asking my parents what a crucifix was. I'd probably still list it in my top ten favourite songs. Will definitely be giving it a more few extra spins this evening.

Yes. So many music legends from the '70's are dying and those of us like me who weren't there on his golden age feel as if we need to go back time. I regret so much not going to a concert of his a few years ago when I had the chance... one of the greatest lyricists of all time and, for what I know, an extraordinary person. RIP.

Who by Fire gets performed by my synagogue during our High Holy Days. He's been a part of my development as a Jewish adult and this one really hurts
