Leonard Cohen: Poems and Songs | 
#tower #poetrymatters @TheSpineView
Well, my friends are gone and my hair is grey
I ache in the places where I used to play
And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on
I'm just paying my rent every day in the Tower of Song
I said to Hank Williams, how lonely does it get?
Hank Williams hasn't answered yet
But I hear him coughing all night long
Oh, a hundred floors above me in the Tower of Song
I was born like this, I had no choice
#DivineDecember Day 15: Shaped like a #Candle giving light this one is. 💕
“I greet you from the other side of sorrow and despair, with a love so vast and shattered it will reach you everywhere.”
@GingerAntics this is what the ones who chose to not feel miss. This came up in an email today regarding love from Maria Shriver it reminded me of our discussion.
“Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in“
Remembering Leonard Cohen on his birthday.
#PoetryMatters - Dance:
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Leonard Cohen

I'm sorry, did someone mention Leonard Cohen? 😍 I paid a lot to go see him in concert in 2010. I expected to cry. Instead I was enthralled. Even in his 70s, his sex appeal was palpable. Such a gorgeous, brilliant man, inside and out!

👋
1. Lots & lots. Favorites change often. Longtime favorites like Cohen and Portishead. Sometimes newer music creeps in like Banks😆.
2. Nope.
3. An hour around lunch time and a couple hours in the evening.
4. Not much.
5. I cry easily😢.

Sorry, to fill up the posts/feed , but only want to share that this is the version by Sharon Robinson that I wanted to share ; I can‘t yet do “ the link “ to it ...
#quotsymarch18 #sudden This song is taken from a Greek poem , the lyrics & melody ❤️
Suddenly the night has grown colder
The god of love preparing to depart
Alexandra hoisted on his shoulders
They slip between the sentries of the heart
Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure
They gain the light , they formlessly entwine
And radiant beyond your wildest measure
They fall among the voices & the wine ...
Sung by Sharon Robinson, my fave Song ❤️

From Leonard Cohens Suzanne :
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror ....

This one gets me every time. #light #quotsy #quotsydec17
This was a toughie! But for some reason, it made me think of Leonard Cohen and his song about Suzanne, a woman I imagine to have a powerful #aura.

Fits the time we are living in. #rhymes #uncannyOctober
Yesterday was filled with saddening news. The violence to which humanity constantly stoops is baffling. The only antidote is beauty and love. We are so much more than our destructive sides. Lest we forget in times of turmoil.
#UncannyOctober Day 1: I try to bring poetry with me when I travel, so I ordered this along with my Brazilian reads #OctoberMostAnticipated
A poem by that sexy beast, gravel-voiced troubadour, Buddhist monk, Renaissance man Leonard Cohen.
#Hallelujah, I got to see him in concert a few years ago. The ticket was crazy expensive but worth every single penny.

Pretty much how I felt at the end of 2016.
Happy New Year!
Let's hope for less syphilis and lip cancer in 2017. 😂
So sad to hear about Leonard- I would have loved to hear what he had to say about this week...
What a brilliant man.
Several listens to several versions. All equally worthy. #vale #leonardcohen
💔💔💔💔💔💔
We lost one of our greatest voices today. RIP 😢
"And even though it all went wrong/I'll stand before the Lord of Song/With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah"
? His poetry and lyrics spoke to my soul. Rest in peace, and thank you for your words.
RIP, Leonard Cohen
There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.
pickI love everything Leonard has ever done. I especially love singing these in my head in his gravelly voice...so an obvious choice for both today's #AugustPhotoChallenge (music + books)!
Also, thanks to @Kitta for buying me this for my birthday 😊

They tied me to this table right here in the Tower of Song
So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all
I'm standing by the window where the light is strong
Ah, they don't let a woman kill you, not in the Tower of Song
3mo
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
And there's a mighty judgment coming, but I may be wrong
You see, you hear these funny voices in 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 3mo
Now I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
But you'll be hearing from me baby, long after I'm gone
I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window in the Tower of Song
3mo
I ache in the places where I used to play And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on
I'm just paying my rent every day in the Tower of Song 3mo
