He does his magic ...( 1 month ago by gentlerhino)
He does his magic on contrasts. Bitter-sweet feeling. Lovely melody, but sad face. Gorgeous women, but not timeless. It's lust and sex and Gates Of Love - all you long for - ready and ripe for you, but "Where's the beef?" Is your body really you? No. "You" must be much bigger. Your body is too small and insignificant to really contain YOU. Cohen sees it, feels it, he's blinded by the lights of Closing Time. Yet he's powerless in his submission to the Awful Truth. Just like we all... True poet.

This is a fantastic video and a great Cohen song. I've loved Leonard most of my life. He is a treasure and I'm so glad he is ours. He looks like he's having so much fun in this video. Beautiful voice. Hell to pay when the fiddler stops? Indeed! :-}

Read his book, not poetry, called Beautiful Losers. One part of the book called Magic is Afoot, God is Alive was put to music by Buffy St Marie and it's beautiful. After all. It's Leonard.

i don't think there are many Artist left like Leonard Cohen the guy's genius but i thought it sucked how he refused to get filmed at Glastonbury. It's like when Dylan refuses to put the big screens on at his shows when he's probably gettin half a million for a show. Im sure it would be different if they had not made it so easly

He sure captures the night scene. What a poet!
I'm sure he never left the club alone.

the Webb sisters. Long live Leonard!

He gives quite the show. I never saw one as good as his. He's the best.

Its much harder for Canadian musicians to be recognized. Leonard is our Dylan yet nowhere near the recognition.
So many worthy up and coming Canadians too.
James Parker is Canadian who nowbody seams to know about. Great lyrics in his songs. The Angry Young Man video great although obviously produced independantly.

Actually, I think from international blogs I've been on that Cohen is internationally recognized. This song is brilliant and came about fairly late in his carrer, which i don't believe is over yet.

I am an American living in Copenhagen. Cohen just played here a couple weeks ago and the papers said it was the best show since Elvis was here (I assume they mean b4 he supposedly died :) ). Compare that to the review of KISS a month ago calling them painted corpses...

Beautiful Losers is an amazing novel
