Leonard Cohen's Nightingale

The lyrics are definitely Cohen's and the music apparently is a collaboration with Anjani. I think Cohen's lyrics are the meat and potatoes of his songs. That's my subjective opinion. Anjani's voice is hauntingly beautiful. This is an example of how "less is more." I prefer this slower version to another version that (includes Cohen's voice) which is also posted at YouTube. If you like Anjani, here's a professional video made of another song from the Blue Alert album. http://www.leonardcohen.com/cgi-bin/Canada/stream.cgi?meta=c491d6b0fb507cd004...

Please visit my slide-show at Viddler that couldn't be posted here because it was 11 minutes. It's called The Lie of Our Imperfection http://www.viddler.com/explore/Merhlin/videos/1/

For the record. Blue Alert was also available with a short DVD on Sony 88697 07280 2 in a cardboard 3 panel gatefold sleeve.

The album I got the song off of is Anjani' Blue Alert. That would explain the difference. Thank you for viewing my work and for your compliment.

I can't find what your talking about on my Dear Heather (CK 92891) back cover, My CD package has lyrics thru the book with the composers listed under each song title. But no composers are mentioned on the back cover.
