Rest in peace Mr. Leonard Cohen

in #rip8 years ago

This is a very short post, but I am sure that the video below will say it all.

I am a lover of great music and as I am sure that many of us had seen, another great musician, songwriter and poet, Mr. Leonard Cohen passed away today at the age of 82. I never had the honor to see him live at a venue, but I do have many great memories of his music.

I am sure he will be missed by many. For some reason, since the first time that I heard his music I have always referred to him as

Mr. Leonard Cohen

I hope that Mr. Leonard Cohen, joins a choir of angels with the song below using that great voice of his.

A great post to a great man ty.

I never really liked his music, maybe just the biggest ones. I knew of his fame / importance but never really liked the stuff. But this year I'd heard "You Want It Darker" off the newest album and I thought "This guy is about to die, just around the corner" and lo and behold...

If you like Leonard Cohen you should check out this blog i just did of him reciteing "In Flounders Fields " i included a video from Utube, its very poignant and made me cry...😟Heres the link https://steemit.com/story/@karenmckersie/a-special-thanks-to-those-who-help-our-comunity-on-steemit And thanks so much for shareing that song with us. On this special remberance Day. He will be missed... 🕆🕆🕆

I beat you by three hours....here
but a true legend ... I summonsed the local music cognoscenti...and we are now having a wake... Viva Leonard...Viva Tullamore Dew

I would have liked so much seeing him live as well!

Rest in peace Mr. Leonard Cohen.
