Nobody makes a good Leonard Cohen cover...what are you talking about??????
It's all down to the words, he's just as she says a poet.

"Nobody makes a good Leonard Cohen cover...what are you talking about??????"
I thought it was pretty straight forward. Most Cohen covers are atrocious. Jeff Buckley's cover of "Hallelujah" leaps to mind immediately.

If you hoestly feel that Leonard Cohens original of Hallelujah is better than Jeff Buckleys theres something terribly wrong with you.

To give Buckley a ... ( 6 months ago by EuchridEucrow1)

To give Buckley a fair chance I just relistened to the version.
Yep, outside of the melodic and lyrical strength alredy hardwired into the piece, it's insipid uninspire pap. I'm not sure where people got the idea that whispering and simplistic guitar strumming equals talent.

This might be cohen's best song. What I find really amazing about it is his ability to do that repetitive picking pattern and not fuck it up. Do you have any idea how difficult that is? try and play this song the way he does, it's hard. When i heard the album version of it, i swore it couldn't be him playing but i was just proven wrong.

OK, your entitled to your own opinion. Thanks for coming with such an unoffensive response.

Cohen is a mediocre guitarist at absolute best. It's the lyrics that made him special.

i'm probably just speaking from a folksinger's perspective. I'm not saying he's one of the great guitar players ever, i'm just saying it's exceedingly difficult to pick something the same over and over and not screw it up, while singing. i didn't think cohen had it in him.

Well, to his ... ( 4 months ago by SFJonesy)

Well, to his modest credit, Leonard always said that he only had one guitar trick, and he demonstrated it by playing "Avalanche", (which you can also find on here). Same repetetive-triplets "trick" he's using here. It's wonderful, as his guitar playing always is.

A simple and ... ( 3 months ago by vagueex)

A simple and repetitive melody can be very beautiful (as it is here). That it is simple or repetitive is in itself no objection.
No one can look at any song "objectively" and on that decide if it is good or not. A good song will evoke an emotional response--which is subjective to each listener. I think it's amusing when someone posts like they are the keeper of the platonic form of "music". I like some covers better than his originals, some I don't.

I hear many people ... ( 2 months ago by BrianGodard)

I hear many people complaining about Leonards composing,guitar-playing and singing talent.Matter of fact,I hear that even from his loyal fans.
Weird.
Id put about a hundred of you smart girls and boys in one room,give you everything you need(paper,instruments,food,wine,drugs...) and let you out after a year to see what you have made.
I bet you would not come out with an album as nearly as great as the Cohen´s "weakest" album.

Emotion is not the ... ( 2 months ago by slopydrunk)

Emotion is not the main product of music but a byproduct produced by an arrangements of sound through space and time, actually depending on ones school Classicist , modernist, post modernist, structuralist etc. their does exist a platonic or purely abstract idealized form by which to judge a song as good or bad. To judge a song by the emotion it produces is faulty but to judge it on how well the song produces or mimics the "physicality" of emotion is good.

And who gets to ... ( 1 month ago by vagueex)

And who gets to determine what the "main product" of music is, and whose idealized form are you talking about? It's different in conception for each person, even within the same school (and how many listeners would even know the difference b/t modernist and post-modernist?). It is music... and it just is. It has no inherent meaning. Deconstruct it all you want, but like most things it's the individual that brings the "beauty" or the "ugliness" to it, no the other way around.

it is that first album of his that's so outstanding in its unity of musical and poetical expressiveness that all those wise comments go up like smoke being blown away.

Good comment BrianGodard! You've obviously got it. I have no problems playing the guitar like he does, no problem singing the song in tune either, but when it comes to composing the thing, I just bow my head... It is so... Well he is a true artist, and I'm just a copycat, and copycats don't count.
