Thank you for those videos, Dana ... I haven't had a chance to listen until now. I agree, I think Cohen is one of the best poets of the 20th century.

Apparently he's written more than 30 verses to 'A Thousand Kisses Deep'. Only a few were recorded. He spent years in a Buddhist monastery and was ordained a monk, although he also apparently observes his Jewish faith.

And 'Hallelujah' is indeed epic. I like Jeff Buckley's version, although I haven't heard it sung by Cohen.
