There’s still no word on the status of Leonard Cohen’s self-produced forthcoming album that was originally aiming for a 2011 release, but if you’re as antsy to hear new material from the 76-year-old legendary singer-songwriter/poet as I am, he did unveil a handful of epic new compositions during world tours over the past two years. All four songs that we could uncover — “The Darkness,” “Feels So Good,” “Born in Chains,” and “Lullaby” — feature the same wit, wisdom, heartbreak, and beautifully unforgettable melodies we’ve come to expect from Cohen over his half-century-long career. For example, this choice lyric: “Feels so good, babe, not to love you like I did. / It’s like they tore away my blindfold and said, ‘We’re gonna let this prisoner live.’” Watch/hear Cohen perform all four new tunes below:
