There are a lot of Leonard Cohen songs that aren't "Hallelujah."
Because I'm a bad Canadian, I mostly only know the more popular ones, but "Suzanne" is heartbreakingly lovely, and there's "Anthem" and "Tower of Song" and "Famous Blue Raincoat" and. And. I mean, the guy has been making music since my mom was a teenager, and he's still going. His first book came out the year my mom was born. It's a little embarrassing for me that so many nerds are hearing that song this weekend and thinking it's a bad cover of Jeff Buckley...
