The sound of the violin makes me want to cry, it reaches deep into the soul

Yes!!! The violin makes me want to cry! I repeated this song again and again and again! Leonard is forever!

I was a soldier in a long terrible war. The war was over, and I thought I survived the worst. But I was suddenly diagnosed with brain cancer. Through all these years Leonard’s music offered me spaces for my small retreats. I had two divorces and bunch of other problems. But Mr Cohen always comforted me. I saw him at the very end of his life and off course, he didn’t know why I was crying. Thanks Leonard.

The way his voice wavers at 1:39 when he's talking about hearing what sounded like the truth is so devastating. I hear him revisiting a deep emotional investment into what he needed to be true, and struggling to vocalize his crushing realization that it was, in fact, not. It's so universally human to lose faith in that which once provided answers.

Let's live their songs if we can. Put competition and rivalry aside . We insult the song if we try to beat each other up using our "superior " musical taste as a weapon. I apologize for preaching which could also be a form of aggression -its damn difficult to do anything perfectly right including the making of this comment.

The man wrote the greatest songs for over 50 years and produced these last songs for a farewell to all that appreciated and loved him. His tour at 80 years of age and flat broke netting more that $8 million tells all about the man and his message to all that will listen. Bob Dylan's comment when he recieved the prize tells all that needs to be said.

Sing to my parents and my brother up there Leonard please. R.I.P., Genius!!!

Dear Leonard, you were the bard that sang my melancholy, pain and love with your songs - for all my life your songs were my secret garden. Now that you've moved on I wish that you've found eternal peace and happiness. Thank you for your songs and beautiful words. Your music will never fade.

Has the doubt of the believing man ever been articulated better. "...its not the truth today. But Lord knows tomorrow it might be the truth again."

This song was played at the end of the episode of This American Life...:The sun comes up" it sent chills through me. It was the perfect ending to the episode... I had to look it up online to play it over and over.... his voice is beautiful. Its the perfect mix of perfection!! RIP...
