Leonard Cohen - Traveling Light (Official Audio)

[@jillscherb]

Our poet, our lover, our dark dreamer has left us tonight.

[@keithrichards9034]

Is he "pro-Israel"..?

[@MarcusEliyahuMann]

He IS Israel.

[@chriscarma]

It was a real sad night. I miss him.

[@andreashell491]

4 years later I still miss him every day!

[@joaquimmartinsdecarvalho]

DARK INDEED, bigest disapointment when I knew but I still respect him somehow...

[@4sstg]

Poet, prophet, lover, goodnight for now, never forgotten by us who understood.

[@carolhadland2803]

When I was 16 Leonard Cohen had me when I heard "Feed me tea and oranges that came all the way from China" !! Now I am 63 and I love his deep dark voice still. His new album is wonderful ....thank your !

[@perkyporkpie]

I am the same age and with the same feelings

[@peterbarker6051]

R.I.P. Leonard Cohen.

[@davidbelkevitz1828]

Me too, I heard his demo record in 1966 when I was 12 years old and was captured by his words. x

[@camabelu1]

Me too. Close enough anyway. 15 and 59.

[@greentea0302]

And just when you mean to tell her That you have no love to give her Then she gets you on her wavelength And she lets the river answer That you've always been her lover

[@aldavis2641]

It is so fulfilling when you introduce someone to Leonhard Cohen for the first time! Usually the next time you see them they are asking you "have you heard his newest"! I love to ask these young college age kids, have you heard of Leonhard Cohen? Of course most have not, you explain that all that music in Natural Born Killers was his, he has been composing since the early sixties and Neal Diamond, Johnny Cash, many more have done his song. When they learn that Louden Wainwright 1111 did not compose Hallelujah, bit it was Leonhard, then they learn they don't know all about music!

[@Manategers]

leonard composed so many great songs people dont know who the composer is but leonard fans know

[@j.477]

thnx n kudos

[@Vagabond_Valentine]

21 year old here, absolutely love Leonard Cohen the man is a legend

[@reinhardwamuller1731]

"You want it darker - we killed the flame"...symbolic for our time. But WE can change that. So let's take Leonards words "there is a crack, a crack in everything - that's how the light gets in" and make that light stronger. For us all. Halleluja.

[@kerryg100]

Reinhard WA Müller Now more than ever we need that crack of light ....question were you ever in wurtzburg. I knew a Reinhard Muller there benediction strasse?

RIP, Leonard You will be missed dearly.

[@shanelevene4864]

Cohen will never die... he's alive and singing in my apartment right now, just as great and as poetical as yesterday and the day before that. He gave us too much to ever die and we need no more. Here's to the ETERNAL Leonard Cohen and the holy game of poker. X

[@macbeavers6938]

Shane, you are so correct. There is no "death", only a beautiful transition to the meta physical and eventually to return to this realm. What beautifully introspective music he created (with help from the other side). God Bless.

[@adreabrooks11]

"Now I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back; "They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track, "But you'll be hearing from me baby, long after I'm gone. "I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window in the Tower of Song." -Leonard

[@b.bailey8244]

RIP, beautiful man, musician, and poet. What fascinates me about this music - take this song, for instance... is how broad it is. This could be about a lover he's leaving behind. Or America and what its become... or religious or any other limitation or dogma that no longer fits. he left "what it means" up to each of us. He didn't dictate what that "should" mean; he left us always free to interpret. Will always love Leonard and his music.

[@MrFraschetti]

Thank you my friend for sharing your gift ! Now RIP...

[@lizpinchen6440]

Indeed, & both were underestimated by the public of their day, though maybe not by posterity...which remains to be seen.

[@lizpinchen6440]

Agreed! Both were far ahead of their times, & (mostly) unappreciated for much of their lives - at least Leonard Cohen did a few live concerts (Many thanx, recorders & up-loaders!) before he went, had a private funeral with only family & friends, & didn't die as a result of a cover-up like Nikola Tesla did.

[@bobsullivan5714]

Al Sharan After Obama was given the Nobel, it would be a insult to the talent and decency of Mr. Cohen to include him in that group....

[@suzyelgin]

Finally got to see him live about 7 years ago when he came to Louisville KY. I drove 60 miles to mark off the top entry on my bucket list. I remember looking around the huge theater with no empty seats and thinking there may be hope for this world because about 75% of the people there were from their late teens to about 30 years old. His music will be touching souls and hopefully changing hearts around the world for a long time. I'm 70 now and he has been my favorite vocalist/poet since the late 60s.

[@rdmutz4731]

And mine since I first hear Judy Collins sing: "Suzanne" on her Album, "In My Life" & which I still feel over 50 years later was far & awy the best version of this Leonard Cohen track.
