Leonard Cohen

Cohen, Leonard

Leonard Cohen was a Canadian folksinger-songwriter, poet and writer. He had hits with Suzanne , Hallelujah and So Long, Marianne , among others.

Cohen was born into a middle-class Jewish family in an English-speaking part of Montreal. As a teenager, he learned to play guitar and formed a country/folk group called The Buckskin Boys . He studied arts at McGill University with the goal of becoming a poet and debuted in 1956 with "Let Us Compare Mythologies". As early as 1961 he was a well-known name in Canadian poetry circles. He received a scholarship that enabled him to retire to the Greek island of Hydra, where he also met Marianne Jensen (for whom So Long, Marianne and many other of his songs were written). Then came the collection of poetry "Flowers for Hitler" (1964), his two only novels "The Favorite Game" (1963) and "Beautiful Losers" (1966) which received mixed reviews and attracted few readers, and again a collection of poems "Parasites of Heaven" (1966). His most recent collection of poetry "Book of Longing" was published in 2006.

Love for folk music led him to take up the guitar himself. After 1966 he concentrated mainly on writing pop songs. Judy Collins recorded one of his songs and it became an instant hit: Suzanne . In 1967 Cohen moved to the United States. His debut album, Songs of Leonard Cohen , was released that same year. He established a reputation as a singer-songwriter with songs such as Suzanne , Everybody Knows , The Tower of Song , Famous Blue Raincoat and First We Take Manhattan . He incorporated spirituality and sexuality into his songs. His songs are characterized by his monotonous, melancholy voice.

Although he continued to make albums, he faded somewhat from the limelight in the late 1970s and early 1980s. From 1986 onwards, interest revived, as younger artists such as Nick Cave and the "The Sisters of Mercy" praised him and recorded his songs. In 1988, Cohen was back in full swing with the album I'm Your Man , Cohen's best-selling album in years. Cohen occasionally spent time in a Buddhist monastery and was officially ordained as a Buddhist monk in 1996.

Shortly after his 70th birthday, his ex-girlfriend and agent Kelley Lynch was found to have embezzled all his pension money, forcing Cohen to return to performing with great success. On a world tour in July 2008, after fifteen years, he gave concerts again in the Minnewaterpark in Bruges and in Amsterdam's Westerpark. That year he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In the summer of 2012, he undertook the "Old Ideas World Tour", performing at Sint-Pietersplein (Ghent) and the Olympic Stadium (Amsterdam). He presented his album Old Ideas and played classics from previous albums.

Cohen studied various religions. His grandfather was a rabbi and he knew the Jewish scriptures. In the 1960's he became a member of the Church of Scientology. He later converted to Buddhism and spent some time as a monk in a Zen monastery in the mountains north of Los Angeles. This helped him with his depression and tendency to "endless self-analysis". But he was also sensitive to worldly temptations, such as women, drugs and alcohol. For example, the song Chelsea Hotel #2 was written after a brief affair with Janis Joplin.

Cohen had a son and a daughter with his ex-partner Suzanne Elrod. He has never been married. His daughter Lorca is the biological mother of Rufus Wainwright's daughter. His son Adam Cohen followed in his footsteps and also became a singer-songwriter.

Leonard Cohen died in 2016 at the age of 82 from a fall in his sleep. His death was not announced until after burial in the family plot at Shaar Hashomayim Cemetery in Montreal.

Leonard Cohen was een Canadese folksinger-songwriter, dichter en schrijver. Hij had hits met onder andere Suzanne, Hallelujah en So Long, Marianne.

Cohen werd geboren in een joods middenklassengezin in een Engelsprekend deel van Montreal. Als tiener leerde hij gitaar spelen en vormde een country/folkgroep genaamd The Buckskin Boys. Hij studeerde letteren aan de McGill-universiteit met als doel dichter te worden en debuteerde in 1956 met "Let Us Compare Mythologies". Reeds in 1961 was hij in Canadese poëziekringen een bekende naam. Hij kreeg een studiebeurs die hem in staat stelde zich terug te trekken op het Griekse eiland Hydra, waar hij tevens Marianne Jensen ontmoette (voor wie So Long, Marianne en vele andere van zijn liedjes geschreven werden). Daarna verschenen de dichtbundel "Flowers for Hitler" (1964), zijn twee enige romans "The Favourite Game" (1963) en "Beautiful Losers" (1966) die gemengde kritieken ontvingen en weinig lezers trokken, en opnieuw een bundel gedichten "Parasites of Heaven" (1966). Zijn recentste poëziebundel "Book of Longing" verscheen in 2006.

Liefde voor folkmuziek bracht hem ertoe zelf de gitaar ter hand te nemen. Na 1966 concentreerde hij zich vooral op het schrijven van popsongs. Judy Collins nam een van zijn songs op en het werd meteen een hit: Suzanne. In 1967 verhuisde Cohen naar de Verenigde Staten. In datzelfde jaar verscheen zijn debuutalbum, Songs of Leonard Cohen. Hij vestigde een reputatie als singer-songwriter met nummers als Suzanne, Everybody Knows, The Tower of Song, Famous Blue Raincoat en First We Take Manhattan. Hij verwerkte spiritualiteit en seksualiteit in zijn nummers. Zijn songs worden gekenmerkt door zijn monotone, melancholieke stem.

Hoewel hij albums bleef maken, verdween hij eind jaren 1970 en tijdens de eerste helft van de jaren 1980 wat uit de belangstelling. Vanaf 1986 herleefde de belangstelling, omdat jongere artiesten als Nick Cave en de "The Sisters of Mercy" hem prezen en nummers van hem opnamen. In 1988 was Cohen volledig terug met het album I'm Your Man, het bestverkochte Cohen-album sinds jaren. Cohen bracht af en toe tijd door in een boeddhistisch klooster en werd in 1996 officieel ingewijd als boeddhistisch monnik.

Vlak na zijn 70ste verjaardag bleek zijn ex-vriendin en zaakwaarneemster Kelley Lynch al zijn pensioengeld verduisterd te hebben, waardoor Cohen noodgedwongen, maar met veel succes, weer ging optreden. Op wereldtournee gaf hij in juli 2008 na vijftien jaar weer concerten in het Minnewaterpark in Brugge en in het Amsterdamse Westerpark. In dat jaar werd hij opgenomen in de "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame". In de zomer van 2012 ondernam hij de "Old Ideas World Tour", waarbij hij optrad op het Sint-Pietersplein (Gent) en in het Olympisch Stadion (Amsterdam). Hij stelde zijn album Old Ideas voor en speelde klassiekers van vorige albums.

Cohen bestudeerde verschillende religies. Zijn grootvader was rabbijn en hij kende de joodse geschriften. In de 60'-er jaren werd hij lid van de "Church of Scientology". Later bekeerde hij zich tot het boeddhisme en bracht enige tijd als monnik door in een Zen-klooster in de bergen ten noorden van Los Angeles. Dit hielp hem bij zijn depressies en neiging tot "eindeloze zelfanalyse". Maar ook was hij gevoelig voor wereldse verleidingen, zoals vrouwen, drugs en drank. Zo werd het nummer Chelsea Hotel #2 na een korte affaire met Janis Joplin geschreven.

Cohen kreeg een zoon en een dochter met zijn ex-partner Suzanne Elrod. Hij is nooit getrouwd geweest. Zijn dochter Lorca is de biologische moeder van de dochter van Rufus Wainwright. Zijn zoon Adam Cohen trad in zijn voetsporen en werd eveneens een singer-songwriter.

Leonard Cohen overleed in 2016 op 82-jarige leeftijd aan de gevolgen van een val, in zijn slaap. Pas na de begrafenis in het familiegraf op de Shaar Hashomayim-begraafplaats in Montreal werd zijn overlijden bekendgemaakt.
