yep PUP's thread got to me

none of them lol :))))

wasnt he a monk at one point?

so difficult cos I love the oldies and I like the new

but will stick with Suzanne as my fave.

If it be your will...sung by Anthony and the Johnsons

yes he was ordained as a buddist monk in 1996?

don't change his music tho'

Halleluja sung by Jeff Buckley. Cohen's version is rather boring but the song is brilliant.

Sue xx

as said below lol

Take this Waltz..

but 'Hallelujah' as sung by him last year live was really much better than any other version...including his own lol

xx

It's a brilliant song because Leonard Cohen wrote it!!

i prefer NDUBZ

do you know till I came on here I never realised how many Cohen fans in such a small area there was ....yes it is a small area as it's on 1 forum.

yes Alko but then that isn't Cohen is it, which unless I didn't put it right is what is in the title of thread

I loved you in the morning
Our kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow
Like a sleepy golden storm.
Yes, many loved before us
I know that we are not new
In city and in forest
They smiled like me and you.
But now it's come to distances
And both of us must try
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.

So much, but tonight my favourite Cohen lyrics are:

I balance on a wishing well that all men call the world.
We are so small between the stars, so large against the sky,
and lost amongst the subway crowd I try and catch your eye

Have you ever been there?

Sue x

Well , how can you choose
"halleluja " Tim Buckleys version also Rufus Wainrights fantastic
but as i posred earlier "dance me to the end of love " is my favourite as is "the masters song " or even " sisters of mercy"
At the end of the day no matter what we think of the man monk or whatever he is the best lyrasist ever vocally well that is another opinion
igor

Oh yes Wend ... no way to say goodbye

but then I love his early stuff

Suzian I had forgotton stories of the street

Igor all good ..... but no I have to stick with Suzanne cos it was my 1st Cohen song and etc etc as said

"i was handsome i was strong
i knew the words of every song
did my singing please you
no the words you sang were wrong

"many girls embraced me
and iwas embraced by men
is my passion perfect lord
no doit once again

maybe I should have asked Cohen fans what they don't like. lol

interesting Teachers isn't one that comes into faves but to listen to is different

so long Marianne.


xxxx mick

I'm not looking for another
As I wander in my time
Walk me to the corner
Our steps will always rhyme.
You know my love goes with you
As your love stays with me
It's just the way it changes
Like the shoreline and the sea.
But let's not talk of love or chains
And things we can't untie,
Your eyes are soft with sorrow,
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.

Goodnight, Uzzi, thanks for this thread - it's made me feel happy x
