A guy who works in the hostel is playing Leonard Cohen...making a bad hostel slightly better
from Bandar Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur
Leonard Cohen - I'm Your Man . I love this guy, i bet you even god has him on repeat
My poor neighbors. I just recorded the same Leonard Cohen song 6 times in a row. Sometimes I wish I had been born a little less earnest.
Leonard Cohen's mother gave birth to a legend as well
Cada noche la misma canción de Leonard Cohen.Cada noche la misma canción de Leonard Cohen. Me olvido que no puedo dormir, me olvido y duermo
Every night the same Leonard Cohen song. Every night the same Leonard Cohen song. I forget that I can't sleep, I forget and I sleep.
leonard cohen's mind was so beautiful wow
(I will admit to being a little curious about what she thinks of Leonard Cohen's mind now...

Dios mío, la voz de Leonard Cohen y otras cosas perfectas.
My God, the voice of Leonard Cohen and other perfect things.
Dios existe en la voz de Leonard Cohen.
God exists in the voice of Leonard Cohen.
I'm detecting a theme here. So I'm sorry if this next one seems like a bit of a demotion.
His Highness, Leonard Cohen.
If he's not her man, this guy wants no part of her:
I would throw a ladyfriend out if she was not swooned by leonard cohen #whatelseisamantodo?

Thank you for the encouragement, Lizzy! It's interesting, isn't it, how many of these are specifically about Leonard's voice.

Got reviewed by @IGIF and they compared my voice to Leonard Cohen hoooooooo boy climbing up that tower of song
I wonder if Leonard Cohen wants to see the new Gatsby film. #SuchCoolSuits
Es extraño que a nadie se le haya ocurrido todavía hacer una versión del Hallelujah de Leonard Cohen.
It's strange that it hasn't occurred to anybody yet to do a version of Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen.
I imagine Leonard Cohen could make reading the phonebook captivating. Same goes for the McDonald's menu.

Ya no me emocionan muchas bandas. Leonard Cohen me rompió mi huesito de la emoción.
I'm not excited by many bands any more. Leonard Cohen broke my excitement bone.
This sounds vaguely off-color, but I think the guy was punning on "funny bone."
Leonard Cohen is my favorite Jew, next to Jesus of course.
No se que sera de mi vida el día que Leonard Cohen muera.
I don't know what will become of my life the day Leonard Cohen dies.

My dad's talking to my mom about Leonard Cohen. He said, "I like that song Honolulu."
I just want a boyfriend who will go to Leonard Cohen with me and won't judge if i'm glassy eyed from start to finish
and last (for now) but not least, a tweet that was actually addressed to me, by a new follower who took a peek at my profile:
has Weird Al ever collaborated with Leonard Cohen?
The mind boggles. Although I expect that if they met, they'd enjoy each other's company. Weird Al doesn't bounce off the walls when he's not working, and he's a very intelligent guy.

Why am I so in love with older, unattainable men? Lusting over Leonard Cohen again right now. Read to me, Leonard Cohen.
Can Leonard Cohen be the best lyricist of all time?
las noches de leonard cohen se están haciendo costumbre
The leonard cohen nights are becoming a habit.
my dad is still convinced he's gonna be a famous recording artist, i mean i love you dad but you're like 300 years old and not leonard cohen
El Hombre de Negro le canta a Julia canciones de Leonard Cohen y le gustannnnn.
The Man in Black sings Leonard Cohen songs to Julia and she liiiikes them.

Lizzy,
I had copied a tweet Helen had posted, but copied it without Helen's name attached. She deserves the credit for posting it, not me. I simply copied it to show that I also found it hilarious

Oh, yes, I knew that, Mary... however, since you isolated it out with laughter, I responded to you on it.
Almost ~ if not totally ~ exclusively, we have Helen to thank for these many, appreciated tweets

And all I can do in response to such graciousness is... put up a few more!
Cumulonimbus wagnerianos en los cielos de Móstoles. Y sin embargo estoy escuchando el Aleluya de Leonard Cohen.
Wagnerian cumulonimbus clouds in the skies of Móstoles. And nevertheless I'm listening to Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah.
Question, do a Canadian vocalists have to record a Leonard Cohen CD by law? Patty O'Callaghan has a killer CD.
Leonard Cohen ¿dónde estuviste todos estos años?
Leonard Cohen where were you all these years?
That's a great way to describe it: The National is essentially Wilco as fronted by Leonard Cohen.
I find this last one particularly interesting, since I'm going to broil my brains next month at the Bonnaroo music festival in Tennessee, and the National and Wilco are both scheduled to play there.
