And basically binged his entire works, which I wasn't totally familiar with before.

"Anthem" was definitely one of the songs that stuck out most for me, and gave me some hope and inspiration on that very dark day.

What was crazy was that neither I, nor anyone else in the world except his closest family, knew that Cohen had actually passed away two days prior.
