It's an ASMR.

I'm never going to get over his passing. I loved his music and his poetry, so amazing! This makes me want to cry. I didn't discover Leonard Cohen till 2009 right after I turned 21. I was in a very depressing state and wanted to kill myself. A friend of mine borrowed my iPod and uploaded some music on to it, I hadn't gone through all of the artists yet so I had no idea what was on there. Anyway, I was walking around town, listening to my iPod on shuffle, thinking about blowing my brains out. It was a warm summer evening, and I had just snorted some OxyContin and was just trying to figure myself out, I was lost. All of a sudden a song popped up that stopped me dead in my tracks. It was "The Butcher" by Leonard Cohen, I just stood there listening to the strange lyrics and found myself mesmerized by this song. I decided to see if I had more of his stuff on there and lo and behold! I had 3 full albums on there. "Songs Of Leonard Cohen", "Songs From A Room", and "Songs Of Love And Hate". I clicked on a song titled "Avalanche" and the crazy guitar strumming mixed with the intense lyrics sucked me in and I instantly changed the way I looked at the world. I became a hardcore Leonard Cohen fan!!! You will be missed Mr. Cohen, thank you for saving my life.

@Juaquin Rodriguez: The sound that Cohen achieves is not by strumming, but picking in triplets (bass note, followed by G and then B strings, usually)... Search on here for "The Stranger Song," or "The Partisan;" he uses the same technique in those songs. To get the sound that he does requires a great deal of skill... hours (years?), of practice to achieve that kind of right hand speed.

Sammy Howell yes. The world lost an amazing man. There will never be another like him.

I love the sound of his voice, it is so deep and smooth.

That poem was so relaxing his voice is so relaxing this is what it's like to enjoy ASMR back in 1974.

I love the way he reads the poem...

One of the most famous poems from Ancient China is also about the moonlight reflected off the snow as seen from a window.

That was a really beautiful yet grim poem. He was one amazing poet. (And hearing the interview parts during the credits makes me wonder how he felt about Jeff Buckley's cover of Hallelujah )

Yes Kurt maybe would have done better as a spoken word musician more than the superstar they tried to make him he seemed really uncomfortable and miserable which I guess he was. Cohen did not have those same industry pressures on him the 60s were different than the 90s.

I'm in love with his voice.

I’ve never heard something so freakishly moving. The way he told the story, and the story itself !

Sisters of mercy is one the most beautiful songs ever.

Such a beautiful story. So masterfully told. 👍

This isn't the Hallelujah I wanted, but this man will always be a god to me. Thank you, Mr. Cohen.

That is absolutely beautiful. Please do more of these with Leonard interviews and audio if you can. Thanks!

he was a bard, he will be missed my favorite one since the patti smith one

These videos ALWAYS put me back on track in life. They truly and deeply Inspire me. I love them dearly. Thank you!!!

All the poem was for me is words that sound nice together. I got no meaning at all. It was a wandering surreal monologue with no purpose, unless it was to suggest that the two could never find any connection outside of sleep but always came back for that anyhow. Which means nothing to me either. I didn't really like it. But then, I've written poetry many times and always hate it later.
