Leonard Cohen's "Bird on the wire" by a sad old man

[sweetgypsywife]

Great to watch you playing.I have bought a guitar...that's all so far!...

[cagutlan]

@sweetgypsywife well, that's a brave start. i hope it's one that is kind to your fingers.

Geoffrey I am so enjoying listening to your songs....being yourself is what makes them so special.....actually just right for those late nights when you would love to be with a friend who could just share the moment....x

[cagutlan]

@sweetgypsywife thank you. yes, it feels good to share the company of someone with whom you dare to just be yourself. all too often such togetherness is elusive, or short-lived. that's why it's so important to try to hold onto it when it's in one's possession :-)

I dig your channel. Love the video of driving through the snow, the songs...

My dear Friend, my favorite song.... It's so beautiful!

When I die, this frase must be on my headstone:'Like a bird on the wire, I have tried in my way to be free..." Okay, I am a drama-queen, I know!:-)) Please, keep singing for us...this is not only therapy for you..:-)

Leonard Cohen would lift his hat for you if he could hear this...

Blessed Be;

@AltheaHekate You know, Kris Kristofferson is going to have the very same thing on his headstone! (He said it in an interview.)

[AltheaHekate]

@burpo so he stole my idea already???? I was stupid to place it here....;-((

By the way: Bob Dylan also....:-))

[burpo]

@AltheaHekate That rat!!

[AltheaHekate]

@burpo LOL: Yes, don't you just hate it when people steele your ideas???:-))

[BushWomanOtter]

If you were not yourself, it just wouldn't be right...so carry on as you are Geoffrey! <3

I like how you approached your playing of this song. With the chords first, then finger picking the melody, and finally singing with the chords. Of course, we cannot help but read into your singing and these lyrics; yet, you read into them, as well, as you sing. That said, you bring an authenticity to your rendering of Leonard's song that I appreciate very much. ~ Lizzy x
