Leonard Cohen.

Leonard Norman Cohen, CC GOQ (21 September 1934 – 7 November 2016).

"I never had the sense that there was an end," he said in 1992.
"That there was a retirement or that there was a jackpot."

Like Bowie's Blackstar and Dylan's long goodbye, You Want It Darker is the sound of a master soundtracking his exit, with advice for those left behind.
"Steer your way through the ruins of the Altar and the Mall," he sings near the album's end, against a gently bouncing bluegrass fiddle, his son Adam's subtle guitar and Alison Krauss' angelic backing vocals.
It's what he's always done, helping the rest of us do the same, as best we can.
