"I saw some people starving / There was murder, there was rape / Their villages were burning / They were trying to escape / I couldn't meet their glances / I was staring at my shoes / It was acid, it was tragic / It was almost like the blues"

Leonard Cohen - "Almost Like the Blues" (Leonard Cohen, Patrick Leonard) (2014)

I almost did not post this song because it's been overdone, covered by so many, but it's the songwriter singing it here.

Leonard Cohen - "Hallelujah" (Leonard Cohen) (2009?, London)

Still love it.
I miss Leonard - No one quite like him that I'm aware of.

@nealfig I'm listening to it because you posted it, right now.
