Every human being is unique, but only few among us are exceptional.
Those who see, those who listen, those who understand and know the way to pass the understanding to others in need always die prematurally - regardless of age - as long as there was something more to say.
Leonard, you have left us too soon.

And you stay with us for the rest of our lives.

I don't know a lot of his stuff, but Hallelujah is one of my favourite songs of all time (though I prefer Jeff Buckley's haunting version, it was his genius that wrote the song).

From what I know and have heard about him he was a very genuine and humble person as well as being incredibly talented.

It's a shame and a great loss, though at least he reached a decent age, unlike many of the recent celebrity deaths...

It hurt a lot to hear this news, though I knew it was coming. It doesn't really help, I shed tears for the passing of master Cohen.

Rest in peace old poet. Your sweet lyrics and soft notes will echo on, always.
