I disagree...in the present anyway.  His voice was, imo, wonderful on his most recent live album cd/dvd.

Every time I heard this song, I think about the loser that I was fool enough to give shelter and love, and it makes me want to puke.

It's why artists record...to get played...how often they are is a signal about how well they did...you don't like it? PSD, mate...The Great Canadian Bullfrog will still be playing long after you can't type anymore.

His "voice" has improved over the years and I now love him even more!  His last tour was outstanding.  I saw him in Liverpool (UK) and you could have heard a pin drop when he was talking in between songs.  The sound system was one of the best in terms of clarity in a big arena that I have ever heard.  The concert was fun - and this really comes across on the DVD - "Live in London" he is a very amusing guy believe it or not! Sharon Robinson, one of his song writing  "collaborators" was also superb as a backing singer and soloist.  Her only album is great for late night listening.  Her co backing singers, The Webb sisters, are two English sisters who are also terrific in their own right.  The musicians that he picked are of the highest quality which all helped to add up to one of the greatest concerts/gigs of my long music loving life! {#Notworthy}

Next time this comes on, hit mute and find the song lyrics and see if they grab you. Cohen's not the greatest singer on this earth, but I've come to like his gravelly near-subsonic voice thanks to repeated exposure by RP.
 
Jennifer Warnes' "Famous Blue Raincoat" and "Tower of Song, The songs of Leonard Cohen" a Cohen "tribute" album, both have some really accessable vocals doing his music, if you'd like a rest from the Great Canadian Bullfrog :)

Is Mr Cohen collecting any royalty checks from the makers of the old Leisure Suit Larry video game? This is right out of that soundtrack.

No no no no no no no...  there are many many many many songs I do not bother rating at all, because I only have room for 10's...  Radio Paradise plays tons of tens...  this is one of them...

I can't remember the first time I heard him, but I do remember what I have thought of his music from the beginning— the greatest lounge jazz in the world...

*   "copyright grounds" Sony Music Entertainment And I add that there ever was a time when Sony dominated and monopolized the market in certain parts of the western world, in televisions, video players, game consoles, music cd, hi-fi, mobile phones. Sony were not the best products but they were the more versatile.
Not so anymore. Several years ago, Sony they are a common brand among many others. And Sony still not better.
Perhaps this explains the desperation of lower themselves to the point of harass and cause potential customers who once had as certain in the past, censoring excerpts of videos, thinking that they are losing profits from sales of music DVDs.
And with these attitudes are going to lose much more, because consumers also have the "right of the copyright of their choice" of option to not purchase the products of label Sony Music Entertainment and boycott them. Well, Sony is on track to go sell dvd's to the Arabian desert. This same, the desert of camels e reptiles.

Thanks RP for all the good memories you evoke and the new sounds you open. 

 


"Covered" most likely because everyone thinks they can record a better version of his music

The Steely Dan cut before this song has not helped my opinion of Mr. Cohen. What is that, a child's casio playing in the background? 4 > 2

None better than Leonard for singing Leonard, sez I. Unextinguishable.
