Leonard Cohen’s Final Lesson — And the Movie That Introduced Me to Him | 5K Day 311

5K EVERY DAY – Day #311

(“Everybody Knows” clip)

Everybody does know that rich, deep voice — Leonard Cohen. A poet, a prophet, and a musician inducted into just about every Hall of Fame imaginable.

(Brief, somber clip from “You Want It Darker”)

Sadly, we lost him today back in 2016. What’s incredible is that his final album, You Want It Darker, was released a couple weeks prior to his passing. That is a commitment to the very end. Showing up and staying on your feet when everyone else has stopped.

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
“It’s not that I’m so good. It’s that the others are so bad. It’s a matter of remaining upright. – by Leonard Cohen
