Love that someone asked for this, so props to whoever that was. Leonard Cohen's genius doesn't get the attention it deserves, especially among pop culture audiences.
I truly love Leonard Cohen. He was an incredible poet and a wonderful gentleman. I really miss him. I never see his music here, thank you for reacting to this song. He always had the best musicians and back up singers working with him.
Amazing song. Thank you. I highly recommend "You want it darker" by Leonard Cohen. It's an outer body experience to listen to with headphones. Trust me - you won't regret it !
This is from one of Cohen's first 3 albums. Those albums are jewels folks. Songs of Leonard Cohen (1967) Songs from a Room (1969) Songs of Love and Hate (1971) For those mainly familiar with (and like) Cohen's later work, check out those 3 albums.
Other great songs of his; "Suzanne", "So Long Marianne", "Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye". The man was a Buddhist monk for 5 years. A great poet and songwriter. Nice reaction.
This whole album is incredible. Definitely one of my favorites along with New Skin For The Old Ceremony. It kind of annoys me that everybody knows Hallelujah, but the man made several albums full of better songs.
dress rehearsal rag, off the same album, is his darkest song one of my favorites. he eventually stopped performing it because he felt guilty about spreading that much despair
Not your favourite, but it's one of his best songs from his best album. Unless you only like the hits like Hallelujah, First We Take Manhattan, I'm Your Man, etc.
@@duhusker4383 My goodness, you seem to be making a lot of assumptions. You're acting as though I stated it's a bad song and anyone who likes it is foolish. I like the song. I pretty much like all of his work. If it's your favorite, I have no problem with that. He's a great artist. Music is very personal and different people react to the same piece in different ways. If I were forced to pick one song as my favorite, I suppose it would be "Everybody Knows", but there are many that I love and all of it is worthwhile.
Yo TEEZ. Another good reaction to another amazing Canadian artist. Lets keep the Candian music rolling. Try a band called Monster Truck. I went to the same highschool as these boys in Hamilton, Ontario. Reallly great music. Try the song Denim Danger. Guaranteed you will love it
Gorgeous, rich, inimitable- yeah, I didn’t have headphones on this time, but I think there’s a second guitar (Leonard’s is upfront and tuned down a whole step) the other has a bit more reverb + delay so it’ sounds like it’s farther away
I adore this song. Great for moments of quiet introspection. A cold rainy drive to work in the morning. Leonard Cohen was another amazing poet and a super interesting guy too.
