*ENHANCED EDITION* With curated Spotify playlists for each song in this collection, an exclusive updated tribute, and an interactive timeline of his life; rediscover one of the UK’s most treasured songwriters.

The enhanced The Lyrics of Leonard Cohen is a career-spanning collection, containing the lyrics of Suzanne, Hallelujah, So Long, Marianne, Everybody Knows, Famous Blue Raincoat and many more, including songs written but never recorded by Cohen himself. Blackly comic, tender, and polished until they shone like diamonds, Cohen’s lyrics were unmistakable.

Cohen was an accomplished novelist and poet before releasing his first album, Songs of Leonard Cohen. His music documented the tender yearnings and salved the heartbreaks of romantics around the world for six decades. The Lyrics of Leonard Cohen is an examination of the literary influence of the master wordsmith and a dazzling display of the work of one of our most passionate musical artists.

Quotes

  • Kristinahas quoted7 years ago
    Waiting for the miracle
    There’s nothing left to do.
    I haven’t been this happy
    since the end of World War II.
  • Kristinahas quoted7 years ago
    The Maestro says it’s Mozart
    but it sounds like bubble gum
    when you’re waiting
    for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
  • Kristinahas quoted7 years ago
    Let’s meet tomorrow if you choose
    upon the shore, beneath the bridge
    that they are building on some endless river
    Then he leaves the platform
    for the sleeping car that’s warm
    You realize, he’s only advertising one more shelter
    And it comes to you, he never was a stranger
    And you say ok the bridge or someplace later.
