O Crown of Light, o Darkened One,
I never thought we'd meet.
You kiss my lips, and then it's done:
I'm back on Boogie Street.
A sip of wine, a cigarette,
and then it's time to go
I tidied up the kitchenette;
I tuned the old banjo.
I'm wanted at the traffic-jam.
They're saving me a seat.
I'm what I am, and what I am,
Is back on Boogie Street.
And O my love, I still recall
The pleasures that we knew;
The rivers and the waterfall,
Wherein I bathed with you.
Bewildered by your beauty there,
I'd kneel to dry your feet.
By such instructions you prepare
A man for Boogie Street.
O Crown of Light, O Darkened One...
So come, my friends, be not afraid.
We are so lightly here.
It is in love that we are made;
In love we disappear.
Though all the maps of blood and flesh
Are posted on the door,
There's no one who has told us yet
What Boogie Street is for.

I think it is great. The fact that they can build a song as good as this upon such a minimal and outdated background track, shows that we're dealing with great artists here.
I believe Cohen had a sweet spot for these simple synthesizers. I remember reading that he would sometimes scour flea markets for them, but I could be wrong.
I dig Leonard...but that rhythm track that sounds like my grandmother's 70s Yamaha organ...just ruins the whole damn thing for me.

Saw him at Edinburgh castle a few years ago - outstanding!
Who is the female singer ?
Boogie Street, hmmm, not much boogying going on!!
So smoothly sweet.
They wrote together, right?
Love it. 🙏
Dreary
They’re in unison but his voice is so sonorous it sounds like an octave lower!

Been on RP forever and love it.
But, RP, I can't to the next song fast button fast enough, when this guy is mumbling away.

I just noticed. My rating was a measly 8! Fixed now to a proper 10!! Miffed that I can't push it to ELEVEN!

I've not got this Leonard album, I will soon thanks to EBay...thanks RP.That voice, so unique. I think the first song I heard of his was Democracy Is Coming The USA. I purchased this CD when it came out.
Rebecca and Bill: Thanks so much for this great music - hit me right in my heart !!!
I never get tired of any Leonard Cohen... Amazing lyrics always..

Lord, I miss Leonard. My favourite homie from Montreal.

You and me both, Alastair! I have since come to appreciate the dark humour and plain ol' naughtiness in his lyrics. It was my pleasure and privilege to see him in concert on what became his final tour. We were up at the back of the venue, practically in the roof with the bats and spiders, but it was one of the best live performances I've ever seen.

Just Waking up, at the kitchen table with coffee and then the fopening tunes of This song as the first sounds of the day- almost Magic.
song is very sexy
His Wikipedia headshot is looking very Dustin Hoffman.
Bill, we really appreciate that you seem to appreciate our Canadian singer/songwriters so much. They seem to get the most airplay after all the great US musicians and probably after all the many Brits too. One more reason RP is tops.
LC voice is so soothing :)
Perfect late December Saturday morning to you Paradisers
this is just so good - he is missed

As someone who has a fairly deep voice myself, I am in awe at how effortless LC sounds while singing in that lower register. It takes a LOT of effort to get the volume out and heard in those lower frequencies and yet LC does it wonderfully. I've rated this an 8 and find myself looking forward to the various LC songs in the RP library. Long Live RP!!
This righteous boogie man makes my heart... and those luscious ladies backin him up are beeeeyond! We are all disappearing together. Thank you for so often just the right thing at the right time and this is for sure that.

Beautiful set Bill. Nice tribute. Well crafted my friend! Nuff said!

It's a cruel, cruel 2016 set:
David Bowie — Lady Grinning Soul
Leon Russell — A Song For You
Leonard Cohen — Boogie Street
RIP to these great artists!

Amazing how something so steady and slow can fill you up.

Sounds about right. I know nothing about Bourbon, but following your analogy I'd figure Leonard Cohen to be the singing equivalent of a good Islay malt such as Lagavulin - deep, smooth, and medicinal, which stays in your sense centres for a long time after drinking.

To you, my friend, I raise a glass of my finest, though I'm rather partial to Aberlour's a'bunadh myself: Leonard Cohen sounds exactly like a smoothly aged whisky by the fireplace. :)

A lot of people, though they may know a lot, don't know all of their history. Mr. Cohen predates all of the bands mentioned and he has been more influential. All that person needs to do is listen to the body of his work and sample the album Tower of Song to catch the covers by the artists who pay homage to the man who was "born with the gift of a golden voice."
Or watch Shrek and wonder who wrote "Halleluhiah."

Wonderful, life and Boogie, Cohen's voice is truly pantheistic, thank you DJ.
First time I heard this, it is fantastic! Instant "9" and probably going higher. Wow.
C'mon play something form the Love and Hate album...
..there are no diamonds in your mine...

The poet. The poet. Sending me lasting contributions three minutes at a time.
Ahhhhhhhhhh, Leonard and the fabulous voice of the great singer/songwriter Sharon Robinson. Leonard introduces her as his "collaborator". (Even though the three attempts at downloading songs from her album have been rejected by Bill!) If you like this, she has made only one album, "Everybody knows", 5* late night chilling music 
bumped to a nine this morning. can't wait to see you in April Leonard!!!!

I heard this morning that he has a new album coming out! KEXP played a track off it — pretty good, will have to give a few more listens.

There are some really great comments here from Cohen fans—too many to quote. My only quibble with this song is that it really needs a bottle of wine to complete the experience, and it's too early for wine—at least it is for me!
wow. super-groovy.
instant 8. probably moving to 9 soon.

Easily a 9 from me and this, imo, is not nearly LC's best work. Try Take This Waltz or The Gypsy's Wife which are unfortunately not in RP's library.

His body of work as a whole is magnificent, rising occasionally to Genius. In his prime perhaps only Dylan equals.

True enough: mainstream music is all S/spectacle, no substance. As evidence I offer the popularity of the execrable X Factor, which is no more than karaoke meets 'reality TV' (which of course isn't about reality at all).
Kudos to Bill & Becky for playing music with substance and meaning. I've really become quite a fan of old gravel-voice since listening to RP. The guy deserves to be a star, and not to be mentioned in the same breath as, say, Lady Gaga.

Okay, I’ll admit it, I was surprised.
it's the Bee Gees in the background I could do without.
So come, my friends, be not afraid.
We are so lightly here.
It is in love that we are made;
In love we disappear.
Geez... Cohen can twist a phrase, bringing it from insanity into the most sensible emotion, a wondering why we hadn't seen it that way before...

Cohen got the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammys, and it was barely a footnote somewhere between LadyGaGa and Pink's performances....guess he should have that boob job to get some attention! ;)

I think LC gets better with age ... so smooth.

He is definitely an octave lower.
