Tower of Song

The mural of Leonard Cohen in Crescent Street, Montreal, towers over the downtown area. Inaugurated in 2017, at 22 stories high, it covers more than 1000 square metres and is based on a photo by Cohen's daughter, Lorca Cohen. The mural was created by American street artist El Mac and Montreal-based artist Gene Pendon.

Yes I am a Leonard Cohen fan as well. And this is how i remember him at the last concert of his I went to in Melbourne in 2010. And 'Tower of Song' is one of my favourites of his later songs. It seemed to suit this mural.

My wife loves his, Hallelujah. She uses it for her notifications on her phone.

This mural is beautiful. I'm glad you posted it because when I was in Montreal (2009) I didn't get to see it.

[Suzanne]

I like that one, too, although I also like Jeff Buckley's version and that by KD Laing.

@ankers70 _ I don't know who sings the version she has on her phone. I do know it's not Cohen or Buckley.

[CC Folk]

Wow! A lovely mural and tribute. I love the song Hallelujah sung by him and also KD Lang.
