      "There were so many people you just had to meet without your clothes" is one of the funnies lines in any song. He could take you from laughing to weeping in just a few lines.

    Leonard Cohen was one of our national treasures. His band was so tight and professional, and his backup singers so beautiful, it would be like paradise if you had the chance to sit in the middle during a concert. At 82 years of age, he could draw thousands to his concerts around the world. Don't just know 'of' him, experience him. Great reaction, Couch Gang.

      @@jessereyna6662 Cohen was born, raised and rose to fame in Montreal, in Canada, first becoming an acclaimed poet before deciding that poetry wasn't lucrative, teaching wasn't engaging, and so he then turned to music, using influences from his Jewish upbringing and Spanish guitar he had learned from someone else. He later spent many years in the US and became a dual citizen, he has a special love for the Greek island of Hydra, where he lived for a time with a lover he later wrote songs about, but always identified with his roots.

    To better understand the context of this song, it is actually a song about the AIDS crisis of the eighties and nineties. It is actually a very cohesive, tightly told story, as opposed to random phrases of frustration. It's all a story about how many people with AIDS had visible symptoms, and people would look at them and think all kinds of things. It's about how the government and the medical community "dealt" with it and how certain populations were ostracized because of it. It's about how it felt being out in the dating scene, how potential partners didn't always disclose, how it closed out two decades of sexual revolution. It's a pretty important song about a very significant part of history. Anyway, hope that info helps.

    I was exposed to this song the first time I saw the movie 'Pump Up The Volume' (1990). In the movie, the song is used as a theme for Christian Slater's pirate radio show, where he rails against everything every night, but during the day he's a painfully shy teenager who is the new kid in a really screwed up high school. If you ever want to see it...I wholeheartedly recommend it. it has quite a few good songs, but the backbone of the movie are Slater's epic monologues as his radio alter-ego "Happy Harry Hard-on." In many ways, the song is perfect for the themes the film has.
    The film is one of my favorites...as is this song.

    Leonard and Bob Dylan were the two biggest folk stars from around the same era, but Leonard passed on a few years ago. And Leonard was Canadian, so they differ in a few ways. But they both were in their own class when it came to writing groundbreaking, probing poetry, which was the key, and used their music as a medium for their social message.

    Leonard Cohen wrote the song "Hallelujah" which was used in the movie Shrek, but his original 1984 version is very different. He was more of a poet than anything, and his songs often tended to be dark. I would suggest "The Future" and "Closing Time" as well.

    I'd love to see a reaction to "Joan of Arc" written by Leonard Cohen. The version I love most is from Jennifer Warnes' 1986 album 'Famous Blue Raincoat' which was recorded as a duet with Cohen. The song is constructed mainly as a dialogue between Joan of Arc and the fire which is consuming her as she burns at the stake, after having been found guilty of heresy (in 1431). Only Cohen had the genius to conceive and write such a masterful LOVE song! (The TH-cam lyric video titled "Joan of Arc - Jennifer Warnes & Leonard Cohen" is excellent).

    Now listen to his song "You Want It Darker" which he recorded in 2015 (for an album bearing this title and which will be released in 2016) when he passed away in November 2016. Herald, prophetic. You won't come out unscathed. Thanks.

    As Mr Cohen once wrote "there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in" so many so so many great great tracks, probably the greatest ever songwriter/poet (in my estimation, of all time, or at least ranked with Dylan). , Suzanne of course Famous Blue Raincoat were his big early tracks, incredible, Chelsea Hotel, Anthem, Im Your Man, in the middle years then You want it Darker, A Thousand Kisses Deep towards the end of his life- and of course the obligatory Hallelujah (that everyone reacts to) was his too (though I do concur Jeff Buckleys cover version is outstanding). Highly recommend diving into his discography

    Man! That brings back memories! i had just gotten out of the navy when this song hit on the underground scene. It was a time of change in the musical topography of the era and a lot of really good stuff that never hit the top 10 was being passed around on the underground - usually originating in NYC, though sometimes LA figured in. Wanna go even deeper than this one? Listen to " *_If It Be Your Will_* ".
