Ahh...I liked that guy.

Always used to hear him at a coffee shop I would frequent to study years ago. Never knew who it was until years later, such a distinctive voice.

His version of Hallelujah might be my favourite.

RIP

RIP to an iconic genius. 2016's awful toll continues without relent. :(

Thought he was the one who wrote it?

Very sad news. Of all the artists who have passed this year, this one bothers me the most.

I don't know if he wrote it or not, I've heard so many versions of it and I'm not too informed about his music by name, though I would recognise the songs if I heard them.

A national treasure lost. Maybe the most important poet in our nation's history.


I don't want to pick a favourite. Lightfoot is pretty damn good too.

He wrote it.
Sang it with kd lang once, stupendous version.
He'll be missed.

Closing Time another good one. Don't forget Suzanne

^^ I was going to post that on Friday, but forgot. :(

I'm not crazy about Cohen's singing voice, but loved the lyrics of his songs and his poetry. And I did like his speaking voice.

He will be missed!
