Leonard Cohen...A Favourite

Recently (last month, I believe), a chance visitor remarked about a post I made about Tacoma Trailer, a wonderful instrumental piece on Leonard Cohen's The Future album. Here is Gary's post (he left his name, but I have no idea where he posts, whether he posts, or why he happened upon my blog):

My favourite piece of music. It sums up everything I feel without using a single word. I love how the piano almost fumbles for the notes to express itself. ahhh lovely


He's right, of couse, and says it better than I. Thanks, Gary, whoever you are...my only guess is that you are not from the U.S.A., considering that Tacoma Trailer is your 'favourite' piece of music. I appreciate your commment.

Maybe Gary is Leonard himself, search the blogosphere for the true believers....


Now, I'm no Leonard, but I love his music, the deceivingly simple lyrics, the full sense of some hidden loss that makes me remember I am human.

I spent my teenage years growing up in Montreal, and back then, Leonard was considered something of a local hero by many of us (and yes, I'm dating myself rather badly). (-:

I never think much about age. That may be because many of my friends are 10 to 20 years older than me and are still going strong. They think I'm the young kid among them. I think of them as great models of how to live!
