Bird On The Wire - Leonard Cohen Acoustic Cover with Lyrics

[giddiand]

Very good job - would like to play it as well as len, but being realistic I'd be well happy to play it as well as you! Good luck pal...

[TheBoumarchi]

really great! You really gifted. Thank you.

[nebojsav]

you are a very good singer but i think fingerstyle guitar playing is much better for this song....with strumming kinda lose its spirit...:)

[TheMrJ91]

Nice work man. Thumbs up from Sweden

[AnnetteVogel]

Very nice !

[brillig1313]

Very nice! I saw the Robert Altman film "A Wedding" yesterday, and have been searching for the version from the film ever since (vocal and autoharp only). It seemingly does not exist anywhere, and all the other versions I found were too stylized, or with too much instrumentation. But your version is wonderfully simple and lets the song (and your voice) shine through. Thanks for posting this.

Great! I have been practicing this song & am particularly envious of your strumming I can't figure out how to do it even with the instructions.(I've had a hard time learning to play chords &still do not know how to strum very well). I believe you play it how L.C. played it. You also do a great job of the interim ( If I...) singing & playing which is a hard part to carry & sing not to mention changing to Bm.

Bet you would get a lot of hits if you put up an instruction video for this song.

[devlin535]

[2000luluju]

@devlin535 I think it's apsolute amazingwhatever anyone else says

[KimSeeHills]

I like that you kept this song simple, I feel like doing anything else to it would have been a disservice.

[Duifje131083]

[mealie1613]

nice voice

[yougonndie]

Just leave this song for leonard to sing if you are just going to sound like a dodgy bird. Try to make your version more unique or something- don't just sound like some brit trying to imitate leonard cohen.

[ceorr]

[jonathandavidr]

Jonathan

[totethatgun]

Well Jonathan I was always going to sneak a peek at this one ;) I love this song, I love the phrasing, also you can play around with it a lot and sing it differently each time. I love this version, you sing it superbly. - Kenny

[janetathensbay]

I love this song, first hear Sandy Deny singing it, and think you have done quite an admirable version. I like your voice and your guitar playing. Janet in Athens

[jonathandavidr]

Thanks for watching Janet in Athens, I've not heard that version, I'll take a listen to it.

Jonathan in Cardiff :)

[ladiesrock83]

Love it !!! I don't remember if I already commented on it, but going through my

favorites, I had to listen again.

[jonathandavidr]

It doesn't look like you have commented already.....but you can comment as many times as you want! :)

[88niko88]

My favourite welsh singer... This guy rules!!! I'm a pretty big fan of yours dude! What about you commin to my home town in Portugal for us to jam a bit??? That would be pretty cool man... Awaiting your reply :) Btw, this is one of my favourite ones from you =P Cheers MATE!

[jonathandavidr]

Hey Niko!! I'll be back in Porto on Monday....if you are in the area then I would love to get together and make some music!! ;)

[xshadow00]

Oh, and how come your guitar sounds so cool...it has a really nice sound! Mine doesn't!! I didn't tune anything, I don't know how to, I don't have any tuning tools, and I don't feel like buying any...xD

Is there any other way to tune your guitar to sound "normal" , and not like a bunch of strings??

Please reply!

[jonathandavidr]

I'll send you a message :)

[xshadow00]

I wish I could play the guitar like you :( can u pls tell me the strumming pattern and the chords, thnx ?
