Cohen live tends to be disappointing. He changes his own lyrics, simplifies them, and generally does a bad cover version of his own stuff...
I have a live version of "Hallelujah" by Cohen and he totally trashes it, turns it into a maudlin love song...
BTW Cohen is a Montreal Jew that has, in fact, turned Zen (by way of Christianity)... A byproduct of moving to that wacky state of California you guys have down there...  |

Thanks for the information. I had recognized it as a very ancient invocation of some sort , with a very other-than-Buddhist flavour, but it could have been from Gaelic or Old English for all I knew. |

Awesome. Hallelujah by Rufus followed by this? It's a great day! :) I haven't heard this version before, but I'm really enjoying it.

nice tune throughout. Very nice. Soulful, emotional; I like that.

Nice tune. Of course I am partial to the classical-type Spanish guitar portions of the song. The background vocals are sweet.  |

Thought it was Nick Cave at first. Not a bad thing.
I like this.

Yes, he is Canadian.
Great song, especialy since it's a rare gem from one of his worst period. I still prefer his early songs though (Story of Isaac, Stranger Song, Master Song...). |

This was what we used to say in college decades ago, in Gainesville...and, yet, I am originally from Connecticut, West Hartford. A coincidence, I think not.
