Leonard Cohen - Avalanche

totally freaking hot just like megapornstash (.) com

hello, Thank you very much for this song. I am wondering how to play the intro as cohen did. Can someone help me and post it here please?
thanks so much!

powerful

How does that look so effortless!

Lol yeah just a tad.. It's like a three finger flam on the bottom strings. :S

h'es awesome...should be told "the arpeggiator"..

I only use my fingers to play but its being so hard to learn this one!!

Leonard Cohen uses alot of religious metaphors, it may not necessarily be the case.

I got the vibe that the song may be about Bipolar Disorder,
"When I am not this hunchback that you see,
I sleep beneath the golden hill."

when Jesus is carrying the cross he is hunched over. And after his death he is placed in a tomb which is under a hill.

Hmm, true. Although, I thought it was meant to represent the dramatic mood swings one has with manic depression - it could well be a double metaphor that could mean both our interpretations, since Mr Cohen tends to write alot of religious metaphor. Am I making any sense? :P

But nonetheless, it's still a bloody fantastic song.

Tell me about it D:
