Leonard Cohen

Check out Death of a Ladies' Man, then. You're listening to the wrong type of Cohen if repetitive finger-pickin ain't your thing.

Quite possibly the most brilliant lyrics ever written. God this song is perfect. "And while he talks his dreams to sleep
you notice there's a highway
that is curling up like smoke above his shoulder"

damned good song.

What an incredible pice of art! Hypnotic, thoughtful, tender, moving. I love this song.

classic early cohen! the first tv performance? just around the time the first album was released i should suspect.

thanks muchly for this....

He sounds more baritone than bass at this age.

Why can't I make my fingers do that!?!?

one of my favorite songs. I saw Cohen in Paris 3 weeks ago :)
there is a canadian singer called Graeme Allright. he sings Leonard's songs in french [not comparable but i mention him because i knew him before when i was 8 :)]
if u like this song, try :Ballad of the Absent Mare
and thank me :)

this always makes me cry

back when music still existed
