Somebody tell me where can I find this song? On the album doesn't exist...

[Glad1kun]

@mishulaksis It's from bonus DVD.

There might be mp3s somewhere... But it's better to buy and rip yourself.

La voz de Jasper tiene matices parecidos a la de Freddy Mercury , con el debido respeto.

Great and powerful cover, I prefer this over the original version as well.

[gunterandyuri]

in your voice i can really hear the sadness. I always wondered as a little girl, what this song meant when my dad would play it. but yet now I know. I was the stranger..

[pikewerfer]

@dhpmathmusic now that you mention it - true!

[pikewerfer]

brilliant. nuff said.

@conmilae Trying too hard on the vocals my ass. It's not anywhere close to the original because it's a re-interpretation of the song. In my opinion, if you are going to cover a song, you should make it some what of your own.

[Linqua2112]

THIS is how you do a cover. its a re interpretation, not a copy.

[poisonandantidote]

Pretty impressive. Only trouble it the higher notes obscure the brilliant lyrics. But even so, a rabid Cohen fan like me can still appreciate this version...

[Justice1999]

Wow! What an amazing and powerful cover.

[MarinVillalpando15]

Why is it that most of these covers by Guilt Machine aren't on the album? :(

[Lukeor]

@conmilae Of course it's not cohen, I never implied it was. I'm just perplexed at someone hearing this and taking the energy to dislike it.

@Lukeor

I can see where they are coming from. Not anywhere close to the original. IMHO it simply doesn't do it justice. The vocals are trying too hard. Cohen's version was a masterpiece. This isn't.
