Leonard Cohen

[pooda94]

no, the songs are REALLY sad...

man, you guys surprise me!! Leonard Cohen... COME ON!!

 

[hippyboy92]

yeah, but that's what makes his music so funny now, because they did a nuraber about him...and now i can't take him seriously anymore...

I'm a big fan of Death Of a Ladies' Man, but otherwise I agree his other releases during that time aren't so great.

It's between I'm Your Man, the Future and Songs Of Leonard Cohen when it comes to my favourite.

^that's sad=funny=sad=funny

get it?

 

[piepounder]

ahhhh it's all good hahaha a momentary lapse in cross-pond translations of sorts or something :thurab:

 

[Mr. Chizz]

Leonard Cohen is the shit! He covered Pennyroyal Tea?

John Cale was the one that rearranged it, Jeff Buckley basically transposed it to guitar. Not that I don't love JB's version, but he can't get much credit.

Cohen has also recently gone public about being sick and tired of the song. he's done more than write hallelujah.

I've only really listened to Songs of Love and Hate but I really dig it.

 

[devilgrl]

no. he was name dropped in the 2nd verse.

 

[Dear Ava]

Personally i think Songs From A Room is his best. Partisan in particular is one of my favourite songs ever.

It's never quite been a favourite of mine, but that's probably as I listen to Songs Of Love and Hate and Songs Of Leonard Cohen a lot more when it comes to his earliest work. Story Of Isaac's probably my pick of the litter though. I should really listen to the whole thing again though (which reminRAB me, I really should crack on with that thread on him that I've got going).
