Leonard Cohen
Thanks for the Dance

A dead man's voice in a room, and his son arranging the furniture around it. Leonard left the words, the cadence, the breath between lines, and Adam built the rest like someone finishing a letter his father started. "Happens to the Heart" is an entire life in four minutes, recited by a man who knew exactly how many verses he had left. The album doesn't feel posthumous. It feels like someone speaking to you from the other side of a very thin wall. #Leonard Cohen
