Cohen is a hundred floors above Darrin in the Tower of Song.

One of the greatest songwriters no doubt. Much prefer Darin vocally though

Brilliant that

It’s Leonard, dumdums.

I'm surprised at this. Cohen's voice is awful and it seems he's won this for songwriting more than anything else. Walden Robert Cassotto was much better than being credited for here.

That's great. His lyrics are amazing.

 

And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said "All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone.

Or from Famous Blue Raincoat - a song about his wife cheating on him with his brother...

 

And thanks for the trouble
You took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good
So I never tried

Leonard Cohen and Ian McCulloch. Never seen two happier people.
