I’m pretty sure Leonard Cohen’s most recent album (not technically released yet) is perfect.

I can’t stop listening to it.  It’s everything I like about his music.  It makes me very happy.

My Lady Can Sleep

stevienewell:

My lady can sleep
Upon a handkerchief
Or if it be Fall
Upon a fallen leaf.

I have seen the hunters
kneel before her hem
Even in her sleep
She turns away from them.

The only gift they offer
Is their abiding grief
I pull out my pockets
For a handkerchief or leaf.

"Both of us say there are laws to obey
Yeah, but frankly I don’t like your tone.
You want to change the way I make love
But I want to leave it alone."

is a lyrical genius. Denying that would just be lying to yourself.

Rolling Stone reviews 'Old Ideas'

midwesternmiscreant:

I went to Sound Garden last night and gave them a promo copy of Leonard Cohen’s new album. They put it on, and I watched them sell three copies of it on the spot. It was out there.
Anyways, look at his hat.
