I was on Hydra two years ago and it changed my life. I was looking for Mr Cohan's house but could not find it. I knew i was in the right aria but still could not find it. A very large and stunning looking cat walked in front of me rubbing himself on my legs and beckoning me to follow him. I did and he lead me to a long flight of stone stairs , I followed him to the top turned right and there it was Leonard Cohen's House. I tell you this from the bottom of my heart . Thank you for showing me the way .

I woke up this morning and the first thought that I realized I had - I need to listen to this song. And that’s what I did. I watched this music video three times in a row. The simple things and things that we take for granted, but they carry so much in them - beauty, sadness, color, light. And then of course the song. “As for the world, the job, the war - I ditched them all to love you more”. This line breaks me almost every time that I hear this song. A true poet, Mr. Cohen, you carry on living so brightly through your music

Leonard always tells the truth when he writes a song. He has been such a profound teacher to me. I feel like I should light a candle to him every day, and spend a bit of time listening to him. He would probably roll his eyes if he had ever read this...

U are the luckiest. How i wish

[@blahblah1438]

I was around when he was but I didn't appreciate him until now.

[@declanmcgee2205]

I see him live when I was 8 in kilmainham Dublin my biggest regret was leaving early due to the bitter cold. I stayed for most of it though.

[@ExiledGypsy]

I was backpacking around the islands in 1980 and I remember the colours, then still clear, calm blue sea, and how they danced under the beautiful sunlight. I slept in a sleeping bag on the sand on the beach in Naxos where there were only two tavernas, a kilometer apart on the beach and we people gathered around a well to wash off the salt in the evening or paid a small amount to bathe in the open air behind one of those tavernas. Then go back and have those small round potatoes and other local food and wine well into the night. There was a guy there at the time who used to play the flute which was mesmerizing. I also went to Hydra where Cohen had a house. I slept in a patch of woods on top of the hill above the harbor. I went to Harry's bar where I heard that he just got back from a concert and was tired. I kept going back and staying until the early hours of the morning but he didn't turn up. Maybe he didn't even go to that bar. Then I moved on, spending almost four weeks from one island to another. I remember lying on my back on the deck on the way to Mikonos during the night and looking at the milky way for the 1rst time with no light pollution around and being blown away by it. I pity the young generation for not having seen the islands the way they used to be.

[@АнаБуљешевић]

Wow😍 how you described everything....brought me back to my eternal wish: I go to Greece again

[@ExiledGypsy]

@@АнаБуљешевић It is not like I described it now. It is just like the Lake District or Bangkok or the islands like Ku Sumei are now, not like how they were in the 70s. They are now too expensive with too many people and too polluted. To see how I saw them you would have to own a yacht now and go to secretly fenced off places like in Marbella or everywhere else on this earth. Overpopulation is only good for the rich until robots are cheaper than humans, but we still have long way to go until then.

[@AnuraagDasSarma]

This is my favourite song off of the album. Ive written so many poems and songs inspired by Cohen but listening to his songs just makes me realize that there can never be another Cohen. Even when he was near his death, he sang and he wrote. His voice was a frail whisper in the end but his heart and his mind were sharp, maybe sharper than ever before. Cohen is one of those select few musicians who make you want to pick up your guitar and sing but at the same time, he makes you want to give it all up. A musical great, a non-pareil, a true artist till the very end.
