How about:

"If you don't become the ocean
you'll be seasick every day"

from "Good Advice For Someone Like Me"

Actually,I'm a bit more troubled about the price: almost € 40,00 (some 39, something).

Dear Jarkko, I can understand your feelings, yet- as already been stated several times now by some members, I don't think any of us was really somehow well, let's say "greedy", to get even more new posthumous material, at least not in a kind of disrespecting way (the thoughts on that Blues album and...

I knew that story about those eagles' practice reminded me on something: In 455 BC, Aeschylus, the great playwriter known as the Father of Greek Tragedy, died in a most unexpected way. He was said to have been killed by a tortoise which was dropped by an eagle that had mistaken his head for a rock s...

TA-DA!!!! 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 !!! Who will miss this period of waiting and anticipation?? I certainly will! (...) but look at all the ideas we just MIGHT be giving Robert Kory, in case he's interested in what other directions he could go with other projects and have our seal of approval. Indeed! ...

Ten More Days of Patience. Well put! Quite alike another mile of silence the line that always strikes me. Me too. -- It makes me feel like composing a little rough text about it all. (Sorry, I guess it will be rough and sketchy, rather a kind of doggerel, but nonetheless heartfelt and honest): Ten ...

Tomorrow is 10 years since Lissadell. Just saying. And wishing....

Indeed.

And also don't forget the Double Event of 2010:

Mr. Leonard Cohen being inducted into the Songwriters' Hall of Fame
and also achieved a "Lifetime Achievement Award" at the Grammys.

Ten is a good number anyways. In 2001 we had Ten New Songs, the Grand Tour was prolonged until 2010, there's the Ten Commandments, there's the ten Sephirot ... Well said, Dennis! And let us not forget the Ten Days of Awe (between Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur, w hich is said to be the Holiest time of ...

So, Practising Patience a bit more.... Ten is a good number anyways. In 2001 we had Ten New Songs, the Grand Tour was prolonged until 2010, there's the Ten Commandments, there's the ten Sephirot, in Buddhism there are the Ten Good Deeds or Meritorious Actions, in Zen there are the Ten Oxherding Pict...

It was in 1998 when I came home from school and my mum sat in her comfy chair, listening to "Last Year's Man". I heard this voice, this music and I couldn't but stand there in the hall - still in my jacket and shoes- listening, completely mesmerized. When it was over I went to my mum's room and aske...

Wow! Just wow.

What a beautiful and strong text.

Let's hope for both! Yes, let's hope. On the other hand, as Patrick Leonard says in that article: "The R&B stuff, there’s very little of that that has him on it [vocally] , and that’s something that couldn’t exist without him. But we had many songs started and some of them finished, very near compl...

Wasn't Leonard supposedly working on new instrumental versions of some of his tracks with Patrick Leonard? Indeed, he was. They also were working on an R 'n B album too: https://ew.com/article/2016/11/11/leonard-cohen-patrick-leonard-rb-album/ For the latter, the R 'n B ablum, as the article says t...

I think I know what most certainly it will be NOT:

A collection of Leonard's short stories, of which we still know only three.
Yet I really hope one fine day in future such a collection will see the light of day too...

A little guess (and much greater wish)

May it be the mysterious song "Captain" discussed in the thread below..?

Very exciting...

At least August is not that far away anymore.
