Leonard Cohen is still dead. I still mourn him.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

1. I only started to appreciate his music a few weeks before he died.

The day after the election (which was actually two days after he had passed but it wouldn't be announced to the public for another day), I felt compelled to listen to his music almost non-stop. It somehow really spoke to me and how I felt at the time.

There's a lot of darkness and cynicism in some of his lyrics, but there's also a lot of hope and optimism in other lyrics.
