The harassment on Lanas Instagram has died down by orders of magnitude in the past couple days. Please address people who are harassing people or making abusive comments, and remind them that doing that, in no way helps their cause, or anyone else, and causes more anger, resentment and despondence. Please try to help to deescalate harassment if you see it happening. Thank you. Godspeed. 

If I ever start caring about which celebs follow which celebs I’m gonna hospitalize myself 

This album will include bombastic orchestras and be produced and co-written by the ghost of Ennio Morricone 

WHAT HAPPENED 

So I'm glad TMHCR got out after Spotify Wrapped bc I listened to it 60 times in the space of 6h the day it got out. Most wanted song ever for me probably + I didn't knew about the release since I was taking a pause so imagine the depths of my joy

But on the other hand it's varied, experimental and unparalleled. It's an album with rough edges, maybe that's exactly what impresses some critics.

I think she's also person of the year because of her big impact on economics, which is called 'swiftonomics'.

Yeah interesting huh? But I get it these songs really are on another level...
 
Lana has 5 songs on the reader-voted top 50 songs list (A&W and title track besides these three), the most of any artist.

One day late but happy one year Ocean Blvd title track anniversary
Can't believe it's been a year already since we got blessed with that masterpiece, oh what a collapse that day was Immiadetly became one of my favorite title tracks  and I still love it so so much

just ten days after the Olympic Games in Paris

Hallelujah is one of the greatest songs ever written, and for that it will never be forgotten.

I'm confident that more shows will follow 

Live laugh love Leonard Cohen  He wrote one of my favorite songs of all time - Everybody Knows

Thanks for showing this thread so much love everyone, I'm so happy to hear that there are many Lipsters who love Leonard's music as much as me 

Omg I still think that might be a perfect description for her honestly 
 
 
Absolutely. It's a lyrical masterpiece. It's probably in my top-5 all time favourite songs. Honestly aside from Jeff Buckley's I don't like the covers of Hallelujah very much as they don't quite capture the feeling of Leonard's lyrics, but it's ... urgh just too good. 
 
This verse!!

"Well, maybe there's a God above
As for me all I've ever learned from love
Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
But it's not a crime that you're hear tonight
It's not some pilgrim who claims to have seen the Light
No, it's a cold and it's a very broken Hallelujah"
 

 
 
That upbeat music and then .... those iconic, pessimistic lyrics 

Hallelujah is one of the greatest songs ever written, and for that it will never be forgotten.

It's such a stunning album, sparse and full of musings on death and God and faith. It's the perfect final album for a genius like Leonard Cohen 
 
When I first found out that Leonard Cohen passed, I absolutely sobbed (nearly) all day. It was like I was mourning a friend. 
 
If anyone wants to cry, then you should read about his relationship with one of his muses, Marianne. She died in 2016, and when Leonard found out she had only a few days left to live, her wrote her this letter: “Dear Marianne, I’m just a little behind you, close enough to take your hand. This old body has given up, just as yours has too. I’ve never forgotten your love and beauty. But you know that. I don’t have to say any more. Safe travels old friend. See you down the road. Endless love and gratitude. Your Leonard.” He died just a few months after her. 

I listened to this song, that he wrote to her back in 1967, and just sobbed and sobbed and sobbed.
