A few weeks ago, I wrote about Leonard Cohen’s new album, Thanks For The Memories. It’s released on November 22. Today the video for the opening track and first single proper from the album ‘Happens To The Heart’ has been released.

While I realise some people can get worried about posthumous albums, in that they fear it may not be as the artist intended, this is a sure sign that Thanks For The Memories will be absolutely brilliant. To these ears it sounds like prime Cohen.

Sit back and enjoy…

…and as a wee bonus, this rather fantastic version of Cohen’s ‘The Future’ arrived in my inbox yesterday. It’s by Brooklyn act Guiding Light, who are a new name to me, but this is worth the six minutes of your time.
