	Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man (2005)
		Leonard Cohen: Sometimes, when you no longer see yourself as the hero of your own drama, expecting victory after victory, and you understand deeply that this is not paradise...
		The interviews are all talking heads, with the extensive Cohen conversations focusing on the planes of his face, particularly as the camera gazes at him adoringly during silences, including a lot of freeze frames.
		Cohen himself is so charismatic and his rumbling voice is so magisterial that he surmounts the visual gimmicks.

	Leonard Cohen: Songs of Leonard Cohen / Songs From a Room / Songs of Love and Hate: Pitchfork Record Review
		We find this same dual nature in Cohen himself: Born to a stern religious father and a bohemian mother, Cohen's sensibility was forged in the tension between the liberal and the conservative.
		Cohen was interested in "The Old Revolution", with its outmoded concepts of chivalry, and its religious (not secular) imperatives.
		Cohen potently captures the pull between safety and the unknown, love and freedom, spirituality and sensuality: a panoramic view of human experience, rendered through the work of one exceptional artist.

	Leonard Cohen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Leonard Norman Cohen, CC (born September 21, 1934 in Montreal, Quebec) is a Canadian poet, novelist, and singer-songwriter.
		Cohen was born to a middle-class Jewish family of Polish ancestry in 1934 in Montreal, Quebec.
		Cohen has said that he believes the drug opened his awareness to the "hypocrisy" and "self-delusion" that are "common traits of humanity," ideas which are prominent themes in his songs.

	Cohen, Leonard
		Cohen was one of the most influential and popular 1960s Canadian writers and his songs gained him an international reputation.
		Cohen's first major creative period was the early to mid-1960s, the highlights being, in poetry, The Spice-Box of Earth (1961) and Flowers for Hitler (1964), and in fiction, The Favourite Game (1963) and Beautiful Losers (1966).
		In the same year, Cohen was given the Governor General's Performing Arts Award, and the first academic conference devoted completely to his work took place in Red Deer, Alta. In 1994, his 60th birthday was marked by the publication of a Festschrift, Take This Waltz: A Celebration of Leonard Cohen.

		She added Cohen's "Suzanne" to her repertory and put it onto her album In My Life, a record that was controversial enough in folk circles -- because of her cover of the Beatles song that gave the LP its title -- that it pulled in a lot of listeners and got a wide airing.
		Cohen may not have been a widely popular performer or recording artist, but his unique voice and sound, and the power of his writing and its influence, helped give him entrée to rock's front-ranked performers, an odd status for the now 35-year-old author/composer.
		Cohen\'s unhappiness with the album was widely known among fans, who mostly bought it with that caveat in mind, so it didn\'t harm his reputation -- a year after its release, Cohen also published a new literary collection using the title Death of a Ladies\' Man.

		Except in the case of Leonard Cohen, it's a true tale, with the bizarre twist of a Tibetan Buddhist suing a Zen Buddhist, Cohen.
		For example, the suit quotes Lynch describing how Cohen demanded she discuss business matters while he soaked in a bubble bath, and how later he was somehow involved in calling a SWAT team to her home, where she was handcuffed and forcibly taken to a psychiatric ward while in her bathing suit.
		Cohen's success as a singer and songwriter generated millions in royalties, the suit says, and in the 1990s, Lynch, as Cohen's trusted personal manager, began to investigate auctioning his intellectual properties, including copyrights to his song catalogue and continuing royalties for his songs.

	LEONARD COHEN
		Cohen and Robinson talked about ideas for songs, and eventually, when Cohen went to one of her son's piano recitals, he asked Robinson if she would collaborate with him on the next record.
		Cohen approached the vocal sessions strategically, due to the limits of the studio and the inward-looking nature of the material.
		In keeping with the long-held Cohen schema of contrasting his gritty voice against the lush backing of several female vocalists, some of the songs feature as many as 20 backing vocal tracks, all performed by Robinson; many songs have between six and 12 such tracks, she notes.

	Leonard Cohen: Dear Heather - PopMatters Music Review
		Cohen is obviously returning to his poetic past on the record, something you instantly hear on "Go No More A-Roving", a musical adaptation of the Lord Byron poem of the same name.
		Cohen's ubiquitous background singers are there, as always (his partner Anjani Thomas sings on eight of the record's twelve tracks), and there's still the slick production, but unlike past albums, it's not overly polished, and there's even the odd saxophone solo, which Cohen continues to shamelessly employ, bucking all trends.
		Leonard Cohen certainly is, and as a result, his music is the most vibrant it's been in a dozen years.

	Leonard Cohen - Songs of Leonard Cohen / Songs from a Room / Songs of Love and Hate - Review - Stylus Magazine
		Cohen's off-kilter “la la la”s at the end of the closing “One of Us Cannot Be Wrong” points the way forward to when he'll actually lose his shit on record to great effect, but much of The Songs of Leonard Cohen feels too tentative to really draw blood.
		Cohen relies repeatedly on softly twanging Jew's Harp on these songs and on the original CD issue it was hard to tell why he'd bothered; now it seems less like a bad joke and more like a crucial element.
		Cohen's voice has deepened slightly, but as he'll show throughout the album not only had his range increased he'd started giving the type of vocal performance that his lyrics had always been worthy of.

		Cohen: I wish the process was as deliberate as you present it, but it isn't.
		Cohen: Yes, he was the first poet who really touched me. I remember coming upon a book of his when I was fifteen or sixteen, and the universe he revealed and the lands he inhabited seemed very familiar.
		Cohen: It's been very important to me. I've never examined closely how important it is, but the few letters I've gotten over the years, especially when there wasn't much hospitality to my music in the market place or in the record industry, those letters were deeply encouraging.

		Each of Cohen’s albums reflects not simply the issues that are on his mind as a writer, but the sonic landscape he wishes to explore as well.
		Cohen rose to the opportunity this audience represented by releasing two consecutive albums, I’m Your Man (1988) and The Future (1992), that not only rank among the finest of his career, but that perfectly capture the texture of particularly complicated times.
		Cohen had long documented the high rate of casualties in the love wars, so the profound anxieties generated by the AIDS crisis were no news to him.

	Leonard Cohen: Field Commander Cohen: Tour of 1979 - PopMatters Music Review
		Leonard Cohen once famously commented that he only ever aspired to being a minor poet.
		Over three decades later, Cohen enjoys the dubious honor of being best known as pop music's undefeated champion miserablist, an artist who was singing spectacularly depressing songs when latter-day camp melancholics like Morrissey were still moping around in short trousers.
		In that regard, Field Commander Cohen -- recorded on the UK leg of his tour for 1979's Recent Songs -- is a timely release that offers a more balanced account of his music beyond the popular cliches, underscoring the breadth and depth of Cohen's art, as well as his abilities as a captivating live performer.

		Cohen isn't a prolific writer, but he has produced a small but spectacular collection of songs that need to be in the music library of any serious music fan.
		Leonard Cohen's music is a lot better than his share of the airwaves and CD bins in record stores would have you believe.

	Leonard Cohen
		Cohen still isn't much of a singer, and his 60s rugged individualist brand of sexism is continually evident, starting with the back cover photo of a chick in a towel doing his typing.
		Cohen's a bit more plain-spoken than usual, with looks at romance ranging from savage ("Is This What You Wanted") to plaintive ("I Tried To Leave You"), a clever comment on social divisions ("There Is A War"), and an incisive look at the life of pop songwriters ("Chelsea Hotel #2").
		Cohen sounds even more bored than usual here, reciting his lyrics to overdone orchestral pop backing (courtesy of Lissauer, who lacks all his previous ambition).
