Wow it's like if rick owens fucked dustin hoffman and made a troll baby

He's not even the best song writer

Who is? The only answer is Joanna Newsom.

Kris Kristofferson

Paul Simon

This dude looks like so many people. Dustin Hoffman, Adam Sandler, Al Pacino

Wrong.

Leonard Cohen is literally written on the image.

William Blake is the coolest poet, you cannot disprove this

Shakespeare or Yeats

He's a prophet and pusher. Partly truth, partly fiction. Walking contradiction.

maybe in music, but some of his work seems unnecessarily crude and he made retarded production decisions on a lot of his songs so they sound sort of amateurish. however, I love his work and "Avalanche" is up there with some of the greatest poetry in history imo.

The only answer is based Sufjan

My smile is stuck
I cannot go back to your frownland

My spirit's made up of the ocean
And the sky and the sun and the moon
And all my eyes can see
I cannot go back to your land of gloom
Where black jagged shadows
Remind me of the coming of your doom
I want my own land

Take my hand and come with me
It's not too late for you, if it's not too late for me
To find my homeland
Where a man can stand by another man
Without an ego flying
With no man lying
And no one dying by an earthly hand
Let the devils burn and the beggar learn
And the little girls that live in those old worlds
Take my kind hand

My smile is stuck
I cannot go back to your frownland
I cannot go back to your frownland

>van morrison
Hell yeah. I will sail i will sail will sail i will sail.

ps, in regards to OP : as Joni Mitchell puts it best, Cohen is Boudoir Poetry (at best).

This. Newsom blows everyone out of the water lyrically and musically.

Beautiful.

Who is that?

Tim Buckley

It's Nick Drake

Anyone like David Tibet's songwriting? It's very... i don't know, maybe like grandiose? Overly so in a way but some of his lyrics are great.

They’re beyond outstanding. No other musician of the past century has written anything nearly as potent – please, miss me with that Cohen and Dylan trite.

>Cohen and Dylan
>trite

Opinion discarded

For me, it's Morrissey.

Wow so deep

Hate to break it to you, bud, there’s like half a dozen modern songwriters who wrote meaningful lyrics, and neither Dylan nor Cohen are any of them.
Damn, what’s the point in me even writing this shit to you retards? You’d never be able to pick up on the cultural impression Nick Drake was able to capture, or the other songwriters. You listen to these fucking posturing glory seekers who write songs about nothing. Fucking nothing.

What did he mean by that

It's actually really deep, fag

Drake is shit. You're a pseud. Back to /mu/

Townes Van Zandt

Christ

>Drake is shit.
shut up retard lmao
