R.I.P. Leonard Cohen.

Never cried over the death of a famous person before. This one really hurts.

I played Bowie when died. I played Prince when he died. But tonight I just cannot bring myself to play any Cohen. It's too much.

I always felt that he saw the human condition so clearly. He is a voice that will be sorely missed.

2016 has been a year of incredible loss. RIP.

I'm glad he had a long life and brought so much to the world with his music and words. I'm sad to see him go.

Yes, this one has touched me in a way that Bowie and Prince didn't as they were never favourites of mine. Immersing myself in some of his music right this minute. :(

Great. With Bowie, Haggard, Prince and now Leonard the turntable has been getting quite the workout.

This year sucks.

I am sorry for your/our loss. I'm sorry he lived to see his fellow humans step onto this path. He always understood and was always heartbroken by it. Such a strong heart: broken, beautiful, and singing.

Me too. Me and my husband hugged with tears running down our faces. Not sure why I didn't cry for Bowie or Reed, both of whom I loved with a burning passion in the 70s, but Leonard got to me where I live. What a horrible year.

I'm sorry.

*hugs* I'm feeling this one, too.

I know exactly how you felt. It took a day or so, and even then it was The Future on repeat.

[shapinglight]

Yes, indeed.

[shapinglight]

Yes, it has.

[shapinglight]

Me too. The world is a much poorer place without him.

It took S and me a day or so, then for me it was The Future on repeat. The words seem so prophetic.

[shapinglight]

It really does.

[shapinglight]

I'm sorry he lived to see his fellow humans step onto this path.

Me too. I know it's probably not so, but to me it felt like once the election result came in, he sort of turned his face to the wall.

[shapinglight]

but Leonard got to me where I live.

Me too.

Did you ever see him live?

[shapinglight]

Thank you. I'm sorry for all of us.

I can't help thinking he knew something we didn't. ;(
