RE: Leonard Cohen for Three Tune Tuesday - Week 186 - win 5 HBI

in Musicyesterday

I was just listening to some Cohen myself this morning. Suzanne is a really good song. There was a special on TV the other day my wife and I were watching that was covering the history of the song Hallelujah. It was really interesting.

Nice one @bozz

Ya Suzanne is amongst his best work.

I do really enjoy those music documentaries. You always learn a few bits that you didn't know before.

Hallelujah is a funny one for me, as it's one of the only songs that I like where there is a cover version that I like more. Jeff Buckley's version is the one that stands head and shoulders above all including the original by Cohen.

They talked a lot about the Buckley version. I actually prefer the Rufus Wainwright or John Bon Jovi versions the best.

Ya the Rufus Wainwright version is a contender alright 👍
