I feel with you. I was born into this world with Leonard Cohen in the background. Still "the Captain" make my mother feel in a very special way that I cannot relate to.

A relative of mine did interviews with both Cohen and Marianne Ihlen (the Marianne from his song)[1].

Cohen has a special place in my heart, his humor, darkness, humbleness[2] and poetic aide is for me very inspirational and aspirational and the thought of him make me choose life when I get depressed.
