A perfectly ... ( 1 year ago by LeonardAndNickFan)
A perfectly respectable version of my Leonard favorite. I'm not used to hearing it sung in a voice so different from Leonard's, though... and in a bit more angry fashion. I can't help but admire your enthusiasm, though. And... well... it seems you should have ended it with, "Sincerely L.Cohen" as in the original... but I can see how that might be problematic for an artist. Thanks for the ride!

Hmm. I will look more into Street to Nowhere, anybody who covers a cohen song (other than hallelujah) is worthwhile in my eyes.

mate i agree with you cohen is so good but i think that secretly he hates hallelujha as it is a song that is by no means his best but was adapteted by so many,soooooooo many well i think i like famouse blue rain coat is better.but really whats it matter what i think.

You think Leonard hates Hallelujah? Are you on the crack?? I believe in my heart he appreciates and encourages the covers. True... perhaps not his absolute best... but pretty sure he still digs the song. And, yeah, FBR is my all time fav, obviously... wish Lenny would've done more video'd performaces of it, eh?? But, thanks to Dave for his righteous effort. I love it!!

LOL! It's a great cover, man, but I really thought that "LG" was going to be like a coffee shop or something, and then after the song was done, I was like like..."MAN... this crowd is a bunch of fucking DICKHEADS!" Then I saw the bedroom studio- style setup...

This guys voice is terrible, he cant play the song properly, and turns something with so much integrity into a cheesy emo song.
He sucks.

he has an incredible voice, sure hes no leonard cohen as regards delivery of felling and emotion,
but he does the song justice,
i think it works well as an emo song,
just goes to show how adaptable cohens work is.
He is singing in a ... ( 6 months ago by smpl187)
He is singing in a key that he cant hold...his voice sounds strained at points, and he goes off tune. He doesnt even finger pick the guitar.
Next he is going to do suspicious minds by Elvis im sure, and because of his high voice and fake emotions it will be praised like this one.
Wow--what a hater! ... ( 6 months ago by garymgarino)
Wow--what a hater! I'd like to hear you post a cover of a Cohen song and do better than Street to Nowhere, if your voice is so damn good
Did you say... ahem ... ( 5 months ago by LeonardAndNickFan)
Did you say... ahem... Cheesy emo song?????? Ohhhh, noooo, no you didn't!! C'mon!! This song could be sung by rabid hyenas and still not sound in any way bad!! Christ, this is one well-written tune!! I admire little spikey haired dude's enthusiasm!! He's giving it a go, eh??!! He's carrying the message!! And, what a GREAT message it is! Fabulous song, lovely attempt... not to match Lenny's version, but still lovely!! Powerful!!
You are a bit slow ... ( 5 months ago by smpl187)
You are a bit slow I take it? At no point did I say I have a good voice. The fact is...my musical talents dont really matter at this point. This boy has made my favorite song sound bad. Why are all of you people so interested in his defense?
I am going to agree ... ( 5 months ago by gmanfive0)
I am going to agree with smpl here. The delivery is way off, the emotion isn't there...it's way too emo and Cohen didn't do it with that in mind. His voice IS strained & sounds much more angry than Cohen meant for it to be, & he beats the hell out of the guitar! Cohen's delivery is more anguish/anger and down right pain. This guy is...no, it's not there. I am a musician and I understand interpretation but this...is just crap. This guy just needs to go cut himself maybe he will feel better then.

Smpl, is it that hard to just say "i don't like him very much" Instead of "he's so terrible because his key is so off blah blah blah"? We don't need your opinoin and we honestly don't care.
