Well, Cohen is different. Not always a bad thing. I like the story. Just keep listening.  |

Avril and Pink together with Tori would really rock.

This set may have been good for a rainy March day, but c'mon, it's 85 degrees outside. Play something frickin happy. I am about to slit my throat and let myself bleed all over my desk. If I can stay awake long enough to get my scissors.... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

OK, twas buggin the hell out of me. This sounds way too much like Leo Sayer singing "When I Need You" and upon further research find that Leo C was 6 years previous (1970) and settled a lawsuit for copyright infringement because it was so similar. So even though Leo S was the gauche top 40 pre-Screech of my generation I can't hear this without hearing Leo Sayer . Throw rocks if you will, I prefer that song to Cohen's maudlin thank you letter to a brother who is hiding and drying out in the desert after killing his girlfriend's abusive-ex or whatever the hell it's about. LC's stuff polarizes the crowd like few others except maybe for Gori Amos or Tom Can't-Waits for this song to be over. Ecch.

'Music to slash your wrists by.'
I mean that in the best possible way. Leonard KNOWS melancholy: that crushing, helpless sadness. Bereft. Genius.
