I was so happy when this wave of adoration for Cohen arose... he had been so important a generation before, but a lot of people had lost sight of him by the 80s. Then only-semi-ironic hipster appreciation brought him back, and shortly after that the "I'm your fan" compilation - and especially the John Cale cover of "Hallelujah" that was on it (Buckley later covered Cale's version, not Cohen's) - blew the doors off the hinges and everyone welcomed Cohen back into their lives. To our benefit.
@seerocco soy de los estados unidos, pero en verdad soy de la tierra ... yo no creo en países, sólo creo en las personas. especialmente personas que hacen el mundo más hermoso, como Leonard Cohen:
The backgroundsinger to rhe right very much looks like Sharon Robinson, with who Leonard recorded "ten new songs". She still sang with him during the legendary 2008 series of concerts.

Tocar las campanas que aún pueden sonar
Olvidad su oferta perfecta
Hay una grieta en todo
Así es como la luz se pone en

@mickycisme No, I think Buckley covered Cohen's "Various Positions"-Version of Hallelujah.

@pbalwaysinformed No he was definitely more influenced by Cale's version. His loss I guess...

I can see why you might think that, but it is in fact Perla Batalla, not Sharon Robinson.

Beautifully done. It gave me chills. This song and Tower of Song are the best of the album "I'm Your Man".

One of his best shows ever, imho - One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong from "Cohen Live" was recorded there!
