And her effect on the film-maker was almost as influential as her part in the Canadian poet-musician’s career. This entry was originally posted Dec 30, 2013 at DrHGuy.com. I don’t regret it. That’s part of why we care about them. That doesn’t mean we don’t have favorites. Get the phone number and call it (after a few days, so you don’t seem overeager). Safe travels old friend. I’m sure she met somebody else. She didn’t care, she didn’t care much, about his stubbled homeliness. There is a revealing scene in the film in which a stunningly beautiful young woman comes on to him, seemingly in the company of her boyfriend. My job is to encourage hesitant lovers to take the risk. It said: I’m just a little behind you, close enough to take your hand. As Cohen used to say: “When you’ve lived on Hydra, you can’t live anywhere else, including Hydra.”. The real version is a little more economical but no less touching. His heart was not really in becoming a barrister and, on a Hellenic cruise with his parents, Rosalind Runcie, the wife of the future archbishop of Canterbury, gave him some advice. He says she was instrumental in pushing him to make his first film, Who Cares?, in 1971, about slum clearance. Fairies get assignments and file reports. All right, the poet also wanted an indoor swimming pool. Since then, my poet has gotten some recognition. Marianne Ihlen had first come to Hydra in early 1958, when the living conditions were primitive and the expat artists could be counted on one hand. She wanted him to do that, too. Possibly one of Cohen’s most famous songs from his rich canon was inspired not by a romantic relationship but his infatuation with platonic friend Suzanne Verdal. Here his son Adam talks about their emotionally complex relationship. My last assignment there: Canadian poet, closer to 30 than 20, lonely and unknown even by poets’ standards, and a 20-ish woman, a dancer, so beautiful as to have learned that beauty is a gift and also a burden. The woman’s apartment was modest, with a cloistered aspect, though she herself was not virginal in any way. If you didn’t know he was talking to her, with feverish earnestness, about his newly discovered love for the poetry of García Lorca, you could have easily imagined that he was telling her about his recent breakthrough with spiders in wigs, as she paid polite, slightly distracted attention. Cohen had that will. Suzanne: In 1966, Judy Collins recorded a song Cohen played her called Suzanne, along with the much later Hallelujah, his best-known hit. He no longer reads in bars and suburban libraries. Leonard Cohen (holding the guitar) with Marianne (looking at him) and friends in Hydra, Greece, October 1960. Cohen was living at the famously louche Chelsea hotel in Manhattan and hanging out with people such as Janis Joplin (about whom he wrote Chelsea Hotel), Joni Mitchell and Nico from the Velvet Underground.

She just favored whiteness. “I think it was a very harrowing experience for her,” says Broomfield. I’VE BEEN IN Saskatoon for quite a while. In the evening, he played his guitar and sang lullabies to Ihlen’s little boy. “There was this incredible community of artists and painters and a whole very wild attitude to life,” he says in his trademark languorous drawl, located somewhere between the home counties and southern California. (Leonard Cohen 2008 Photo: Rama) Leonard Cohen leaves behind two children, son Adam (b. As Goldman comments: “He was quite a womaniser. Not all the characters are beautiful. It was the first of many estrangements to come. Leonard Cohen is now deceased. She sent her son back to Norway to live with his grandmother, then moved in with Cohen who, on turning 26, bought himself a house on Hydra. “Suzanne” was inspired by Cohen’s platonic relationship with Suzanne Verdal, the then-girlfriend of sculptor Armand Vaillancourt. So many human desires are even more prosaic than you might expect. One definition that weighed on her was that of single mother. I know, I know very well, how many loves flicker and fail, however ecstatic their beginnings. Go ahead, you try to unequivocally love every living person. It wasn’t long before Cohen and Marianne began seeing each other, first as friends and then romantically. She brewed tea. It was a good gig for me, all the more so coming off my previous assignment, getting an elderly widower to ask the elderly widow next door if she’d like to go to Red Lobster for dinner on a Saturday night. There weren’t a lot of artists in Montreal back then. “I suppose being a muse feels like an 18th-century concept because it’s not monetised,” he says. The self, it turned out, could be selfish and destructive. Leonard Cohen dated Suzanne Elrod for 9 years. “Suzanne” is as perfect as I need a song to be. I loved him. It has a unique innocence, beauty, & sweetness, yet also a creative complexity. She was embarrassed about that, but rather than confess, she turned his attention to the late afternoon light on the harbor, to the honey-colored sun that gilded Our Lady, with her eternally outstretched arms. There was the sturdy, hardworking young couple who bought themselves a trim little house outside of town, had a baby and devoted themselves to campaigning against abortion rights. I don’t think I cheated her out of anything. And after all, she was made into a song, a song playing right now, somewhere in the world. “It’s a silly thing to say, but the fact that she was from a very early age defined as a male artist’s muse did handicap her for a while,” says Goldman. Remarkably, Pennebaker’s son managed to dig out the film he shot on Hydra in 1967 and send it to Broomfield during the editing process. To be a tortured singer-songwriter in the mid-1960s with Cohen’s saturnine good looks and quietly penetrating personality was not a set of circumstances to advance the cause of fidelity. Ihlen had to return to Norway and her son, while Cohen needed to get back to Canada to earn some money. In the apartment, the poet looked that much darker, as if he were a man-shaped hole punched into all that snowy innocence. The short circuits were noisier, they put out bigger plumes of flame-blue sparks. She was tired of dating men who didn’t know her and didn’t really care to, who wanted to be the guy dating the beautiful young woman who’s an artist, yeah she does these interpretive dances in little clubs, which is not, you know, my kind of thing, but my God, look at her …. “I’ve never forgotten your love and your beauty. Fairies don’t speak to the brain in language. There have been many thousands of travellers who have fallen in love on the Greek islands since Ihlen and Cohen first met. I feel sure the poem and the song wouldn’t have been written if he’d put his hand over hers on that long-ago afternoon and she’d answered with a kiss, if they’d had time to reach the irritations and disappointments — the finger taps on the tabletop, the laundry piles, the uneasy silences — that are inevitable in our lives but may not be all that helpful where certain love poems are concerned. A generation of artists had set out in search of themselves, a journey that, in Ihlen’s case, took in Jungian psychology, the I Ching, LSD and various other fads. Though he didn’t stop talking about flamenco and García Lorca. Cohen kept her at a distance, informing her that the Chelsea hotel wasn’t “her scene”. I wanted a life for him beyond writing poetry no one would publish, a life beyond reading to a half-dozen people in bars and branch libraries. In the film, there is footage of Cohen in concert, introducing a song by talking about his relationship with Marianne. “Yet she enjoyed creating a pleasant home, tending to her loved ones, cooking and so forth. String of frozen lights shimmering at the very limit of what some people consider the far north. Nonetheless, the film also picks up on her discomfort at her role as facilitator rather than creator. So many people harbor such familiar fantasies, so many are moderate in their passions. Marianne, left, with her baby son, Axel Jensen Jr, with Cohen (second left) and friends, Hydra, 1960. I went smoky, slipped through his ear into his skull. This infancy of their affair was blissfully untroubled by the external world. Leonard Cohen’s career had reached a low point when he wrote “Hallelujah.”It was 1984, and he had been out of the spotlight for quite a long time. At the heart of this liberating idyll was a beautiful woman 13 years his senior, the mother of an eight-year-old boy. It’s not that I’d been unsuccessful. She took the empty cups to the sink and gave up — not without a sense of relief — whatever fleeting notion she may have had of him as a lover. But my successes had been running ever so slightly to the modest. It marked the end of the affair and equally, as the 1960s came to a close, the end of an era. They wouldn’t have looked like lovers to the casual observer. Fairies can see strip malls and high-rises, we can see fluorescent franchise joints, and Montreal is as full of them as most cities, but we can’t describe those places, we can barely talk about them. We fly like rockets. That’s an interesting combination.”. The brain-lights go out when the brain dies. He wore the ratty tweed jacket he thought was required of poets, even in weather too warm for jackets. Location producer: Manon Cousin. It was a common preoccupation among the expat community and not always restricted to the men. I know. His first two albums, Songs of Leonard Cohen, issued in 1967, and Songs from a Room, two years later, bore many influences of his time with Ihlen on the island. Saunders: Leonard Cohen later said that the opening verse of his poem, later to be the song "Suzanne", was a poetic account of the time he spent with her in the Summer of 1965. But Montreal. (SINGING) And you want to travel blind. It’s a tale about love and loss, and what comes after. She brought the tea and sat beside him on the bed. He didn’t think he stood a chance. The situation, the poet and the dancer, was classic. At the end of their year together, she went to New York to try to restart the relationship with him. If we don’t consider our lovers’ futures, we absolutely don’t try to direct their careers. Leonard Cohen’s final songs can now be heard on the album Thanks for the Dance. I was 15, and an older, much cooler friend played me Leonard Cohen. UPDATE: In recent years Verdal, a former dancer, became homeless, drifting between Montreal and … “I think that’s kind of what Marianne did. Four months later, Cohen died after a fall at his home in Los Angeles. Fairies pledge our loyalty to love — first, last and always. Ask just about any beautiful woman about that. Cohen was noted as the first musician to bring heavy credentials as a previously published novelist and poet into rock music, and "Suzanne" is certainly imbued with the qualities of poetry in its lyrics. At that time, he had no thought of becoming a musician. We don’t flutter. But I’d done it. They’d have looked more like a young queen out for a stroll with the magician’s assistant, the hobbling, gnomish guy who cast the minor, grudging spells. He had fled the grey and damp of London to work on his first novel. It was about choosing the greater good. Suzanne Verdal Vaillancourt was the (separated) wife of Cohen's friend Armand Vaillancourt, not the friend of Cohen's wife. It’s full of melancholy and hope, and Jesus Christ plays a supporting role. In any case, they had two children together before splitting up, acrimoniously, in 1978. It was out of a desire to rebalance the image of the couple, he says, that he put Ihlen’s name first in the title. Given to Judy Collins as one of the first songs he ever wrote, the song became a hit under her guidance but it was rooted in Cohen’s love life. It took something out of me just naming them in a sentence. Today, Cohen's influence is wide-ranging. She’d been to his poetry readings. That a later album, produced by a demented Phil Spector, was entitled Death of a Ladies’ Man was not entirely ironic. Who doesn’t? Following Cohen’s lead, she also dabbled in Scientology. I was interested. It was almost automatic. He quoted García Lorca (he truly couldn’t stop himself): “The weeping of the guitar begins … as the wind weeps over snowfields.”. We see you, all of you, too entirely to stop at your surfaces, whatever they may be. He has since made more than 30 films, winning countless awards. The scene of Ihlen hearing the letter read out is shown in Broomfield’s film. It’s clear that, as she confronts death with grace and humour, the words are a kind of completion, mortality’s ultimate balm. Suzanne is the first track on Leonard Cohen’s 1967 debut album: Songs of Leonard Cohen.It was first published as a poem in Cohen’s 1966 collection “Parasites of Heaven”. She preferred to be the one more aware of the transient gorgeousness of the living world. This was a time, of course, when phones were a rarity and communication was by handwritten letters. Among them have been several first-rate films about musicians, although for my money Marianne and Leonard is the best of these. Just before her death in July 2016 of leukaemia, a friend of hers, Jan Christian Mollestad, contacted Cohen, who sent an email to his former lover, which Mollestad read out to Ihlen. My perfect couple who risked missing each other because of excessive modesty. Indeed, while her experience in New York left a bitter taste, Ihlen said later of her time with Cohen: “This relationship was a gift to me. A year earlier, on Hydra, Ihlen had met the great documentary-maker DA Pennebaker, who made the classic film of Bob Dylan’s 1965 English concert tour Don’t Look Back, and she suggested that Broomfield should consider film-making.

Photographer’s assistants: Dominique Chartrand and Joel Guilbault, The Imagined Story Behind Leonard Cohen’s ‘Suzanne’, “My job is to encourage hesitant lovers to take the risk. Norwegian expatriate Marianne Ihlen, right, with Leonard Cohen and friends on a donkey trek on Hydra, 1960. n November 2016, the singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, renowned for his plaintive ballads, died a few months after the woman who inspired many of them, his Norwegian lover and muse. He was aware, who wouldn’t be, of her slender back and hips, as she boiled water on a hot plate. Image: Suzanne with her husband, Leonard Cohen Source: Pinterest. Just recently, I read part of an interview with the original Suzanne. At first, he says, he lived with her for most of the year, then two months, then two weeks, until, he says in a wry delivery, he lives with her two days a year. “She just showed me this world of possibilities that I’d never even imagined,” he says. The ragged little band of artists and bohemians were each other’s audiences. The portal had opened briefly, and closed again. Leonard Cohen celebrates the personal, historical, and sexual. Cohen had a breakdown when it was completed and, realising that he would never fully support himself, let alone anyone else, by writing literature, he turned his attentions to music. It was around this time that the young Broomfield turned up in Hydra. Go in for the kiss (if you’re sure it’s wanted, probably better to ask first). She later described their friendship as "a spiritual union." And really, I needed a big success. Last modified on Mon 1 Jul 2019 07.26 EDT. It was hailed as a romantic classic of eternal love. The relationship became strained and about the time his mother died, in 1978, they separated. I thought he had it in him. According to Broomfield, who met Cohen several times, the singer wanted to have Jewish children, something that Ihlen accepted, though he thinks it was an enormous disappointment to her that they didn’t have a child. (Oh, well, hmm, I’m sorry, I like you, but I don’t really think of you that way.) Read more: What to See, and Where to Eat Bagels, in Montreal. Joni Mitchell once called Cohen a “boudoir poet” and for all his manners and sensitivity, he was incapable of turning down the wealth of opportunities that came his way. He was sent to board at Summerhill, the experimental school in Suffolk. The Pulitzer Prize-winning author pays homage to Montreal’s patron saint, crooning the artist’s 1967 ballad ‘‘Suzanne,’’ with the musician Cassandra Jenkins on guitar.
