Leonard Cohen is the author that was a constant (and still is) among my favorites! A bit of darkness and hope combined in his songs are always causing bittersweet feeling when I hear his songs. He was an Artist all the way! I also read his novels and poetry. The amazing author whom we miss very much!
I've chosen one song, but to be honest most of his songs touch my heart...
Here is part of the lyrics from the song A thousand kisses deep:
The ponies run, the girls are young
The odds are there to beat
You win a while and then it's done
Your little winning streak
And summoned now to deal
With your invincible defeat
You live your life as if it's real
A thousand kisses deep
I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed
I'm back on boogie street
You lose your grip and then you slip
Into the masterpiece
And maybe I had miles to drive
And promises to keep
You ditch it all to stay alive
A thousand kisses deep
And sometimes when the night is slow
The wretched and the meek
We gather up our hearts and go
A thousand kisses deep
Happened to be lucky enough to see him as well on a concert. He visited Ljubljana and it was a concert that many compared with meeting a God. I would not go that far, but the concert was simply phenomenal from the music point of view and also how he communicated with the visitors. Loved it! We miss you, Leonard!
Ticket from the concert that he had in Ljubljana in October 2010:
