williethepimp Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 sorry hubbabubba-that one went right over my head..... u2-ive never been a fan of theirs,but I gotta admit,this is one hell of a song,Roy Orbison did a better cover version,but here's the song performed by the writers..."She's a mystery to me" [/media] Quote Link to comment
Lefty Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 The one all time song that cheers me up like no other. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bqz876VkwwY&feature=related Quote Link to comment
williethepimp Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 nice choice jimslim.....good sound and obscure enough for me never to have heard of them... I could include almost anything by Leonard Cohen ....a true genius and IMO,very underrated as opposed to Bob Dylan who recieved all the plaudits yet is very overrated IMO......I hope to get flamed for that opinion...if so,please state why Bob was greater than Leonard (in less than 500 words) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=vZ61su9H5RU This songs about Marianne Faithfull if anyone didnt know.....one of my faves...

Luung Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 @Jimslim: Nice, very nice!.. And I'd never heard of it either! @Willy: I always used to say that Dylan wrote great songs, but he should of got other people to sing them for him, I've nearly had the odd punch in the face over that one... It's eighty percent right, JMHO. Here's my favorite Leonard Cohen track 'Closing Time'. Just soak the words to this old soak's song, it's brilliant! 1 Quote Link to comment

The video combined with the song. Cohen never blinks till the 4:50 mark or so. The only song of his I like as well is The Stranger Song Quote Link to comment

It's just such an unbelievably evocative number for the deep & meaningful amongst us, a true classic indeed. I'm desperate to post it but I won't, because you can only have so many favorite all time songs! That man just don't blink... Period! Quote Link to comment
Luung Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 The Stranger Song \quote]. Try this one on mate?.. It's Anthony Haggarty (Anthony & the Johnsons), apparently half American, half English & half girl, half boy... Transracial, transexual or both?? Anyway, this is his version of Leonard Cohen's, 'The Guest'? Dunno if you'll like it or not, but I absolutely adore this version! Quote Link to comment
