Definitely LEONARD COHEN.... I have loved him all my life...I even called my daughter the Spanish version of Suzanne (Susana)*lol*, for me there is nobody like him... I absolutely adore him, and the best thing: When I went with my daughter to a concert he gave in Barcelona some years ago, she looked at me with shiny eyes (after he sang "Suzanne" of course...which she believed, he sang just for her...) and then she said to me: "Mama...now we can die...we have seen HIM!" roflmao... I could see, that I had educated my daughter to my liking....
I love all his songs, but maybe "Guests" is the song, that most touches me, and of course "The Tower of Song":
I see you standing on the other side
I don't know how the river got so wide
I loved you baby, way back when
And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed
But I feel so close to everything that we lost
We'll never have to lose it again
Maybe some people get depressed, when they hear him....I just get happy and romantic (there is nothing like a CD of Leonard on the player, while making love....
)
