When I listen to this song, the world stops. I've yet to listen to it without crying, and I'm fairly certain 30,000 of those 81,000 views are from me =)
A brilliant Cohen cover no doubt, but Roberta Flacks "Suzanne" and the whole "famous blue raincoat" album by Jennifer Warnes are just as good..brilliant!!
No. She's Julie Christensen. Teddy's mom, Linda Thompson, did sing in the concert tho'. His dad, Richard Thompson, is one of the great singer-songwriters and a fabulous guitarist.
this quality can only be called communion with the greater being.apparently cohen said that it was THE best version he had heard--and he,s not wrong.not he nor me. superbe!
Gorgeous - I really like it when good singers re-interpret Cohen songs...I love LC's originals, but they aren't sacred and some of the covers are brilliant. Goosebump stuff...
This back stage performance is more emotional than the live performance. It verbalizes the valley in a relationship but offers hope for a better time to come.
I prefer this rehearsal version compared to the show version although both are GREAT, however the hug given to Teddy by the moved-to-tears back-up singer is just so moving.

Brilliant! How could it be anything less? - A Cohen song performed by a member of the Thompson "dynasty".

She's moving her body so brave and so free. If I've got to remember that's a fine memory.
