Leonard Cohen’s anthem has gone truly universal.

    Some musical creations have almost universal appeal.
    You feel it on the first listening.
    Touching regardless of ones taste and biases.
    I think Cohen’s Hallelujah is one of these.

      Entirely agreed.

      (My PA complained that horizontal stripes and big eyes on dresses accentuate generous contours. But I replied that colours transcend even that.)
