[bharatnagori]

ainot cure the love , i love you for long long time " of jennifer warnes is not seen here?

[cotehelene]

great voice. harmonies and haunting.......nice.

[Naimasturn]

Voice is good, but sometimes when one changes a lyric, the meaning also changes. (Eg., The last time WE saw you...) One should be careful about changing the words of a poet like Leonard Cohen. His lyric is much more important than any arrangement.

[willowing]

@BransMusicAndVideos thank you lovely bran. xoox

[lamusevenale]

@BransMusicAndVideos not a fan of the original?? who are u?

[frozenwhitebear]

I feel a sort of Tori Amos take on LC's song - a thrilling blend, very listenable! :) thanks to Nancy for the share!

[willowing]

@frozenwhitebear thank you!! i am a huge tori fan so yes, that can definitely be the case! x

[nllleonard]

Must admit that Leonard C is usually a shade too dark for me, but this is really wonderful. NAncy

[willowing]

@nllleonard thank you nancy! :)

[iriswigle]

Tamara Laporte = (Hebrew + French) = The door of Tears

The singing is so pre Sarah McLachlin except Sarah's voice changed from top throat to chest due to a serious injury to the right side of her lips causing paralysis. All birds with broken wings.

Very very good. I have been keeping an eye out for good covers of this song on YouTube. Yours and the one by Matthew Luke Sandoval are the best.

Isn't it odd, spooky and kinda marvelous how the vibe of 1975 has come back in today's 20-somethings...

[willowing]

marvelous indeed. i think music is timeless. :D thanks for listening.

[MrAaarggh]

nice cover.. thx

je weet met je stem de harten te raken

super. groetjes brigitte

[willowing]

bedankt brigitte! ja, heb je net een email gestuurd!! hugs! x

[TheBonnieRose]

This is one of my most favourite songs, ever...

When I was a little girl, I used to listen to my mom's Judy Collin's live album, and I would play this song, over and over again....

(I love Tori Amos' version, too !)

I sing this song all the time... it sounds great in my kitchen, while I'm washing dishes, hehe.

Love this song! Love your talent!

Merci, Tamara, c'est très belle...

captivates me . transcends my reality .

*sparkles*

[willowing]

thanks darling angel. this is andy's fav song i do! it's such an amazingly beautiful song, i love it a lot too. and yes, tori does it beautifully too. :) xoxo

[sunclov]

She looks like she's a Leo.

I know a lot of Leo's

Great Man/ hair.

[willowing]

LOL - *she* is actually a Taurus. thanks for the hair compliment. ha ha.

[pteranodonfilms]

Cohen's songs are sometimes more akin to chants or mantras than melodies. It is sometimes difficult for singers to make the song enjoyable.

Well, you nailed this one; I'm throwing my Judy Collins album away.

I'd like to hear what you could do with Cohen's Joan.

[willowing]

thank you so much for all your wonderful comments!! i don't know the song 'joan' gonna check it out and see!! thanks again! x

[wildbrain03]

Wow, you paint, draw, sketch ....And sing. You rock!

[willowing]

:D you make me smile!!! xx

[sunclov]

Yeah, I like her version, pretty cool.

[Heartxbeat87]

Wow, you pulled off a Leonard Cohen cover with a whole lot of grace, love it! =)

[tyhychi]

I never get enough of these great songs..

You go Girl! Love what you do!

Peace & Light out to you!

[LOOinLONDON]

Wow, this is killer. I love this song so much. Thanks for subscribing, but also, great voice and performance. And you have nice skin. Just to throw out some positives.

[joeralt]

Thanks

[gomartgo]

Your voice is so beautiful, you do this song better than Jennifer Warnes did when she tried to do a cover. :-)

[willowing]

thank you! i don't know her, will check her out. x

[NicholasToka]

Oooh My!!!The original song of Cohen is one of my favorites but i'm finding your voice rather emotional...I like it!It's a performance good enough as Tori's Amos and even Baez's...Keep your stance for the sake of the good-music-lovers.

[cultivatedobsidian]

Remy - Isn't her voice just beautiful? I knew you would like her. I'm not sure why she hadn't taken this further before? Any reason Tam?

[willowing]
