You want it darker
I would tell you about the spring if I thought it might persuade you even now to return, but every bud and bird would only afflict you and make you sad where you are, so not one word of the robins, and not one word of the bloom, lest it make the city darker…
This is Cohen’s gift to music lovers: a realistically grim, spiritually radiant and deeply poetic worldview, generally spiked with a romantic thrum and an existential wink. Following a string of records that have each felt like a swan song, You Want It Darker may be Cohen’s most haunting LP. At 82, it might also be his last.

a giant has fallen – silent – but his voice will continue through the crack in the fabric of space-time…
prophetic words indeed
He had real magic.
Hello dear Brenda 🙂 Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that your family is well. Sending you all a big hug!
We had a wonderful Christmas and we are now enjoying a week together. Happy New Year and hugs to you and your wild boy.
For some reason, a great song to begin the New Year 🙂 Maybe it is to accept the challenges this year will inevitably bring… Cheers to a great, 2017 🙂
