i went on a first date today with a man ive had a crush on for over 20 yrs, he asked if id heard of Leonard Cohen & the song Suzanne & he sang a little of it, i hadn't but...ive youtubed him & love his voice & this song....Thankyou for this song i love it

Absolutely fantastic song, one of Cohen's best. Though I don't know why everyone feels the need to capitalise He, Him and His when referring to God and Jesus.
patsxskip this is my Daughter's name it was decided when we were having our Son but as luck woulg have it Suzanne "Fed me Tea and Oranges that came all the way from China" LOVE IT
Corrado1860 All singer songwriter and even famous authors are sent songs and poems by ghost writers. I was one for 49 years. Only a hobby. I was a professor and psychologist. I loved to write songs, books, poems, etc that required thinking. Cohen was not "cheating". MOST FEEL THEIR OWN INTERPRETATION THAT IS REFLECTED IN THEIR PRESENTATIONS. THIS MAKES THE SONG THEIR OWN ! Who is better then Cohen when doing this? And many of Cohen's songs are like surrealistic paintings. Enjoy interpretations
I have privy to inside information of the music business. Cohen is no different then my favorite writer, not including myself. Ha I was a big fan and still am of Neil Diamond personally. I was asked to give his introduction at the Hall of Fame induction. I remember when I first found out that he didn't write all his songs, but the lable says "by Neil Diamond". I was shocked. A ghost writer wrote Lady Magdalene and only the writer knows for sure what he was writing about. (cont) surrealistic
This was one of the few poems that Cohen did not write himself. But neither did Neil Diamond. Take a listen to Neil sing "Lady Magdalene". I can definitely see where the same person could have written both songs. These two artists both talk about Jesus walking on the water. I am not sure a Jew would write about Jesus as both a man yet divine. Walking on water seems divine. Neil also claims this song as his own. When first released (I have the original) the label said "artist unknown". Ghost ?
@e61807 Are you sure?. In Cohen's personal site it os definetely tstated that Suzanne is "written by Leonard Cohen, Stranger Music Inc, (BMI)". So, do you think he would cheat on that?
What a poet what a voice . Dreamy song - Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river.... and you know that she's half crazy but that's why you wanna be there .... Leonard Cohen I love you.
I really like this piece of music but i don`t understand what the lyrics mean. I`ve listened to it a few times to see if i can work out what Cohen is singing about but i can`t. Can anyone please explain the lyrics. Thanks.
@acidhouse100 You mean it? Well, he meets a girl who is not quite there with her mind. He is going to tell her it's gonna be just sex, no love, when she gets him on her wavelength (kind of telepathy) and lets the river say to him: No way man, you've always been my lover! And then he understands it's pointless to use the cathegories of normal reasoning - and well, he lets himself go to the same wavelength and thinks that's for ever, like children leaning out for love for ever... You get it now?
@corrado1860 Yes that has helped thanks. My original interpretation of the lyrics was that they were strangers who had just met, they were going to have sex and she (Suzanne) was a bit crazy.
Now you`ve kindly explained it to me in a bit more depth i understand that she sort of seduces him and he succumbs to her mind, the flowing river and the whole experience.
Like i said previously i`ve always liked the song but never fully understood the lyrics so thanks again.
@acidhouse100 Glad it helped. You know, this song is kind of legendary to those of us whe were about in the 70's... We all romanticcaly dreamed that we would one day meeet a Suzanne who would feed us with tea and oranges that came all the way from China.... I first heard the song in London in the company of my then girl friend Linda... Very sweet memories. <)
Saw Ian McCulloch do this partly live for Echo And The Bunnymen......"And she feeds you Fyffes bananas that come all the way from China"!!!.......Great post cheers
One of the most haunting, poignant songs -- as good as anything Dylan or the other 60s giants wrote. Back in the 70s, before radio sucked, this would float in every now and then and really take hold in a mysterious way and linger on for the longest time.
let me tell you that this is most assuredly leonard cohen i first heard this song from his original album in 1967 when my english teacher played him to the class out of the whole class guess only i fell in love with his voice his words and the way he delivers the lesson to us sadly though my life has been lived through his songs and i never did become any good at english. pray he lives forever.
Yes! this is the original and it was in his debut album in 1967. his voice changed quite a bit over 40 yrs eh? Can you believe he's been amazing for such a long time? ... love love love him
i was at a london party in 68 and this is how i remember him when he burst on the scene with his new and original sound...i wish he would still sing like this but i guess hes wiser and older now..it seems he does a parody of himself as gloomy leonard
having known and felt nina's version for a lifetime i was always a little scared to hear cohen's original and i have to say it was worth the wait this is brilliant! we all know a cohen written cover version of one tune or another that has been done by someone with a voice to die for (jeff buckley's hallelujah?) the way nina shreiks 'there are heroes in the seaweed' chills the spine its such a good version but life feels a little more complete after hearing this! love ya cohen x ta for upload!
yes this is really the very young leonard cohen ,i have a lot of albums of him ,his voice is darker now because of the smoking i think .but however he is brilliant
@alwayswinit4real yeah when he was younger,,,,that's the song i heard first of him before "so long marianne" on a "Woodstock Generation Tape"... peace
i have the album, this is Leonard Cohen. It does sound a bit different but I suppose we are use to listen to his newer sounds and my copy on old vinyl, but it is his beautiful voice. Respects sukiakideni.
@alwayswinit4real - it's the original version. His voice got more gravelly with age and cigarettes. I had a shock when I heard him in the nineties, live at the Albert Hall in London. Still love him though. :)
I first heard this song in version of Dianne Reeves singing it. It was love at first hearing. Although the original sounds very different, in a style I don't listen a lot, I like it very much too.
This brings me back to my childhood. I have fond memories of being on summer vacation, at kindergarten age, fans humming in the background as my dad plays Cohen on our stereo for hours at a time. I think everyone has a special place for songs that offer such a feeling of nostalgia!
@ha2009pty - the fact that you've you've upper cased the H in he and his puts this song in a different perspective for me. don't know what i think just yet, but thank you for that. x
this is the 2nd Leonard Cohen song I became obsessed with...i used to live in brooklyn, and i'd bike out by the water in greenpoint, with all the old fabric buildings they were converting into lofts, the empty streets, the trash, the latino men fishing by the dock, silently hunch over the railing, and i'd just imagine suzanne was written down underneath an old tree leaning over the water in a little sheltered incline...i'd cry then, i cry now.

I first heard this song in version of Dianne Reeves singing it. It was love at first hearing. Although the original sounds very different, in a style I don't listen a lot, I like it very much too.

This brings me back to my childhood. I have fond memories of being on summer vacation, at kindergarten age, fans humming in the background as my dad plays Cohen on our stereo for hours at a time. I think everyone has a special place for songs that offer such a feeling of nostalgia!

I think he meant that they heard Cohen sing it.

this is the 2nd Leonard Cohen song I became obsessed with...i used to live in brooklyn, and i'd bike out by the water in greenpoint, with all the old fabric buildings they were converting into lofts, the empty streets, the trash, the latino men fishing by the dock, silently hunch over the railing, and i'd just imagine suzanne was written down underneath an old tree leaning over the water in a little sheltered incline...i'd cry then, i cry now.
