Leonard Cohen died today…
I feel the urge to cry much more than yesterday when I found out that Donald Trump is the new president of the United States.
He died three months after his muse Marianne, telling her that their bodies are already to weak for their souls:
“It said well Marianne it’s come to this time when we are really so old and our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you very soon. Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can reach mine. And you know that I’ve always loved you for your beauty and your wisdom, but I don’t need to say anything more about that because you know all about that. But now, I just want to wish you a very good journey. Goodbye old friend. Endless love, see you down the road.”
Goodbye Mister Cohen, thank you for your sensibility, thank you for your creations, you will always remain the one who managed to move every molecule in my body, from the first syllables of every song.
You are not dead, you cannot die if you’re already immortal, you’ve just passed into another dimension of existence, and I hope that you’ll bring as much reverie in your new life as you did in this one.
Thank you for teaching me
Now the flames they followed Joan of Arc
As she came riding through the dark;
No moon to keep her armour bright,
No man to get her through this very smoky night.
She said, I’m tired of the war,
I want the kind of work I had before,
A wedding dress or something white
To wear upon my swollen appetite.
Leonard Cohen – Joan of Arc
May he rest in peace 🙁
Hallelujah is the most beautiful song ever made…
He will be missed 🙁
