My introduction to Leonard Cohen is quite funny, really; a guy I knew rode me home from the town market in Ban Phe, Thailand, on his bicycle and sang "So Long, Marianne" as he pedaled through the darkened town streets back to the school I lived and worked at. It was only later I was able to listen to Cohen himself through an ex-boyfriend who had a dusty copy on vinyl.

Eventually, I was able to claim it as my own on CD format, and it's been a wonderful companion for the world-weary days. Cohen's unabashed lyrics, poetic and lovely, are perfect to listen to when feeling a little tired and, perhaps, lonesome. It's timeless music generations have listened to, and more shall experience as time moves forward, and hearts continue to yearn.
