“Leonard Cohen was my biggest inspiration and a guiding hero in my journey as a singer/songwriter,” she says. “I discovered him when I heard Nina Simone’s haunting version of ‘Suzanne’. I recall the very moment I heard ‘Famous Blue Raincoat’. Listening to that song was like diving into a sad novel, with its rich tale of love, friendship and betrayal.

There are times all of us realize that the world is not a fair place and we begin to see through all the lies and deceit around us. Listening to ‘Everybody Knows,’ shook my world and blew my mind and taught me a lot about the power of music.

I celebrate Leonard Cohen for the gifts of songs and for the way he graciously encouraged me as a songwriter. I'm grateful that he left treasures behind to move and shake many more generations of songwriters to come. In Leonard's last email to me he had just seen NPR's Bob Boilen's review of 'It Just Feels', that we wrote together with Dave Stewart , he said "I rejoice in your success!" I think of him from time to time and dream of his beautiful soul traversing the infinite megaverse in pure bliss. ” -Jihae
