I didn't listen to a vast quantity of Leonard Cohen songs while he was alive, nor have I listened to that nany more since I heard the news of his passing, but I have for a few years owned a book of his written word- poems and songs written as poems- that was a gift from my stepbrother one Christmas (accompanied by two other books of poetry- I remember being incredibly happy with such an amazing and well-suited present). But the other night, with James and his younger brother Tristan, both of whom are quite devoted fans of Leonard Cohen, I recorded his 'Hallelujah' and here it is.
