Iv'e never ever understood why, but this song always makes me tear up.

I cant help it. No matter what mood im in i always well up. It's a mystery to me.

It must be perfect in some sort of way i dont understand.

Rip, Leonard Cohen and thanks for making something remarkable.

Rest In Peace

And a light goes out.

Featuring John Travolta on drums.

[u/K2murphy]

Such a different tone then the other versions of this song!

[u/ChefExcellence]

Always preferred the original to any of the covers I've heard. Shame it took his death for it to get some recognition on this sub.

[u/hermitowl]

Damn, this is a relentless year for musical legends. May he rest in peace, and best regards to his family. He'll live on through his music.

[u/Nichinungas]

A truly wonderful artist. Performed until his last days, forced into touring for a buck after his ex-manager stole millions from the artist. Rest in peace.
