Hadn't realised that You Want It Darker was out yet.
Glad it is. Hope there'll be even more to come, although sadly poor health has slowed him down lately.

Age gets to us all of course! But yes it was a struggle to finish this album it seems.

@dafuch: So true. One minute you're a fountain of mystical youth, resplendent in a white Afghan coat ..you blink twice & your children are adults, your knee-joints are creaking, & you've retired.
With a little luck & a following wind, maybe there's a chance to sail a boat or swim with dolphins ..& to gently soak up a few sunrays - or in Leonard's case, to tour the world, performing hauntingly beautiful songs for spellbound audiences ..& then hopefully to produce further works of genius on his laptop
..before the grim reaper gets us all.
Long may you sing, Mr Cohen!

@dafuch: Excellent news!
I've been worried that he might've been preparing to scoot off to the Great Beyond ..mostly because of a message he apparently sent to Marianne, shortly before she shuttled off her mortal coil (may God bless her).
Reportedly, Leonard told her that he'd be following her soon - & was just behind her
..or words to that effect.
