Like he said before, it is the movie about Leonard Cohen. This part with Nick Cave is included in the movie, so maybe you should get some sleep instead ;)
To all the knockers out their these are all Serious artists Nick Cave, Lou Reed , Anthony, Teddy Thompson not boy bands covering songs simply because they can't write their own songs. These artists are respecting the great Leonard Cohen & showing love for him.Had the knockers attented these shows they would have seen this.
I saw the movie on the big screen. Awesome. Leonard loved it. Those folks covering his songs are his closest friends and/or admirers. These are not simply "covers."
This version comes from a tribute DVD featuring a retrospective of Cohen's work, and features amazing younger performers, Rufus and Martha Wainwright, Anthony, Teddy Thompson, Jarvis Cocker, Nick Cave. It is a magnificent DVD, and closes with Bono, Edge and Cohen doing Tower of Song. Get it now, I can't praise the performances enough. And the tribute to Leonard is most timely, after all, he is 75.
Well i suppose Tony Bennet covered Sinatra, but please..........................................wait till Leonard is cold in the grave before you rape his children!!! unless you can take leonards perfect words to a new height Nik! Just carry on writing what you do best!
In the DVD it is clear that Nick, a talented artist in his own right, is honoured to be singing one of Leonards songs, and of course the whole DVD 'I'm your man' after all is a tribute to the man himself.
....Unless heard no further than the room in which first played, music must be re-recorded, re-played by those who wish to...regardless of reasons why...This is after all, the only means in which one's creation/s of song/s can fully achieve eternity!
Nick is good in this song, get the entire song and check it out before you make your mind. He gets it in a low low-street dirty kinda mood. Where it should be
There is a DVD tribute to Leonard Cohen, that mixes very talented young artists, and Leonard, and commentary on his life, it's called I'm Your Man, buy it, it's soooooo worth it. Some of the artists are Linda Thompson, Jarvis Cocker, Teddy Tompson, Rufus and Martha Wainwright, Anthony, Nick Cave, Bono, and Edge.
If theres any songwriter that lays precident where leonard cohen is leaving off its Nick Cave, no question. He doesnt really trash the song because we only get to hear a few seconds WTF?
....insomnia,...get some sleep....this is nick cave :-)

Leonard Cohen is untouchable with any other rendition of his songs!
However, I can imagine the thrill that other artists get when they sing his songs!!

Get off the stage, Nick Cave....this is Leonard's song! I know I'm being harsh, but this is so far from Leonard....Leonard's the man.

I think you'll find the film is called I'm Your Fan, and it's musicians covering Leonard cohen's songs. There's also an album.
