Because Leonard Cohen has the same status and power in the rock world as Byron.
Leonard Cohen (Leonard Cohen) said that "poetry does not divide families." Since poetry is a rhythmic style, it is naturally easy to complement songs. However, looking at the music world, it is said that There are very few poets, and Leonard Cohen is one of them. Some people call him the "Byron of rock music." Compared with several other poet-singer-songwriters, Cohen is not as psychedelic and decadent as the legendary Jim Morrison, nor is he as rebellious and sensitive as punk queen Patti Smith. Different from Chris de Burgh's elegance and beauty, or Bob Dylan's long way to go, Cohen is Cohen, an old soul who is always thinking deeply, a lonely male voice who is always in love, and an old hippie who doesn't like to wear jeans. The songs and poems seem plain and simple but are very chewy.
Look at Cohen on the album cover. Some say he looks like Dustin Hoffman, others say he looks like Al Pacino. His piercing eyes and deep hairline make him look like the same person. The image of an overly melancholy individualist.
Leonard Cohen has never been happy. You can clearly see from his works that he was self-pitying, cynical, cynical, and addicted, but never happy. Just like his black suit and the two deep, knife-carved nasolabial lines around his mouth. He rarely smiled, and when he did he seemed to be laughing at himself or sarcastically, which was not a happy expression. He wears a suit, black. He wears a woolen jumper, black. He drinks a lot of coffee and smokes a lot. His eyes were burning, like two deep wells reflecting sunlight.
