Well, if you have not lived your whole lifetime under a rock then you probably know Leonard Cohen at least by name. Cohen is a prolific singer-songwriter whose career spans over a half a decade. Songs of Love and Hate is one of his most praised albums and also our personal favorite. However, the one song that everyone remembers from the record is the beautiful Famous Blue Raincoat while the opening track Avalanche is often left in the shadows. Avalanche sets perfectly the dark mood - both musically and lyrically - for the rest of the record and showcases that Cohen is truly one of the undisputed geniuses of pop music lyricism.
