I actually got the ride for the first time to that song. Thanks for the memory.
Hallelujah would have been a better choice surely?
I had two Leonard Cohen albums that I wore the grooves out on, replaced with cassettes, wore them out and then replaced with CDs and finally bought in vinyl again. Songs from a Room and Greatest Hits. They were perfect albums for periods of solitude and they were perfect albums to woo an intelligent girl. I have a very fond memory of walking out the Navan Road and up past the Phoenix Park Racecourse and back through the Phoenix Park with a beautiful young lady singing Leonard Cohen songs all the way.
That’s a lovely post and very poignant. I’m not at all familiar with Cohen’s full body of work and only know a handful of his songs but it’s clear how much he meant to fans. Your post is certainly going to make me cherish Kaiser Chiefs even more now they’re still with us.
Tower of song.
That line from Everybody Knows still makes me laugh out loud when I hear it.
“There was people you just had to meet…without your clothes”
Sisters of Mercy is my personal favourite but its like picking a favourite child or a favourite Rugby player for the snowflake generation.
RIP
I went to see Leonard Cohen in IMMA. Gerry Adams was at it. *
*so was Pathchal Donoghue.
Martha is my favourite
This is hitting me very hard. His voice was the soundtrack of a lost generation. A soundtrack for my youth
I always liked ‘Memories’ but on the whole, can’t say for I cared for him really.
Miller’s Crossing is very underrated RIP.
Indeed. Perfect day was another dInger. 
Listening to I’m Your Man here on cassette. Not a weak song on the entire tape.
I hope you gave her a good seeing to when you got back to the bedsit?
I’d say you took some hidings in your day.
