Leonard Cohen appreciation thread[views:1769][posts:19]__________________________________________ [Oct 20,2005 7:11pm - davefromthegrave ""] Everyone once in a while has to just retreat from the world. There's little things we all do for comfort when we're fed up with reality, and as I've learned lately, the croonings of Mr. Cohen are a release to many folks as well as myself. He's the guy we turn to when we're sinking into misery, lonely and have nobody else. He's a private pleasure, and as such, nobody ever talks about him, or listens to him when friends are around. We do buy his albums, but he doesn't recieve quite so much acclaim as he deserves, because, as I said, he's the audible shoulder to lean on when we haven't got a friend. cheers! [img] |

| ______________________________________ [Oct 20,2005 9:34pm - shrapnel ! ""] he's also got some badass fucking songs. if it be your will, is my favorite but that motherfucker is as depressing if not more then tom waits with a shotgun and barrel of whiskey |

| ___________________________________ [Oct 20,2005 10:06pm - succubus ""] one of my all time favorites songs is into my arms...there is a live version i have...i prefer it to the original...i have a crappy version of it...but it's soo good..it was shortly after his grandmother died and he dedicated it to her |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 21,2005 1:20am - diamond_dave ""] I'm a big fan of both...New Skin for the Old Ceremony is my favorite Cohen album. Nick Cave has some really bad/annoying stuff, but some great stuff as well. Murder Ballads is top notch. So is his cover of Let it Be. |
| ___________________________________________ [Oct 21,2005 12:36pm - davefromthegrave ""] If I had to pick a favorite tune, it'd be "A Thousand Kisses Deep" |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 22,2005 3:04am - diamond_dave ""] that's my favorite as well. |
