I'm partial to John Cale's version. I think it was Cale that told a story about asking Cohen for the lyrics, and Cohen faxed over pages and pages with lots of alternate verses.

what the man said, exactly.
Jennifer Warnes, imho, just never seems to get off the ground. Dull delivery.
Oh, and Concrete Blonde's cover of "Everybody Knows" still gives me the chills.

I have been a fan since the 90s when The Future came out.
I will give Ten New Songs another chance, but it so far hasn't done much for me.
My favorites are New Skin for the Old Ceremony and Songs of Leonard Cohen, but all of his records (except Death of a Ladies Man) are interesting.

AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You just reminded me of that version. After hearing Cale sing it on Shrek I went looking for it on the soundtrack but for some reason they don't use his version on the soundtrack.:scratch2:
I tried to download the song on iTunes but they did not have his version and that is where I ran into KD Lang's version on the 49th Parallel.
I have to go out and get Cale's version. :yes:

Man, one of my favorites. But I have to be in the right mood. Dude is not uplifting. I tend to drink too much when I listen to Leonard Cohan. Or is it the other way around...

Man, So Long Mary Ann- those are some lyrics.
"I forget to pray for the angels
And then the angels forget to pray for us"

I am of Jennifer Warnes - Famous Blue Coat.
Recently picked up the vinyl of it.
I agree.
FBR as done by Warnes has to be the best Cohen album ever. The CD (which I got over 20 years ago) is great but the lp is even better.
Many of the lyrics are mysterious and other-worldly and her voice and interpretation fit perfectly with those lyrics.
One of my very most favorite albums and always will be.......it always seems fresh.
:yes:

My ex introduced me to Leonard's music/poetry over 30 years ago and I've been a huge fan since. A friend has been promised tickets to his Connecticut concert next month....we shall see.
I still have the tape of the Austin City Limits show. Unfortunately, I recorded it at the Beta Is (superbeta) speed. Good luck finding a machine that will play Beta Is for a reasonable price.
