Anthem - Leonard Cohen
Another Leonard Cohen song which is absolutely appropriate as we look forward to another year of chaos and wars. In the midst of it all - Ring the bells that still can ring!
Great choice to end the year. I got to know him first from one of his later albums- songs like Closing Time and his version of Always drew me in and made me seek out more of his work. What a voice. When Leonard goes, he'll leave quite a void behind.

I agree completely, William. And it's not just the voice, it's the lyrics which contain so much meaning and the feeling he carries into his work!
Leonard Cohen is the greatest songwriter of his generation.
