This post might be a little bit late, but I would like to add something to it. I bought the Leonard Cohen Essential album and at that time I had an affair with a woman, called Alexandra. We broke up only one day after I'd bought the album, but until then I hadn't seen the song on the album. Since th...

Hello, I’m working on a paper for discourse analysis and I want to write something about the Dutch translation of Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen, the live version (also covered by Jeff Buckley). The problem is that the sentence I want to translate contains a word that’s not correct English, and thus ca...

Hello there,

did jeff buckley write his version of hallelujah or did LC also write this one?

thanks

Anyone out there who can tell me more 'bout the song first we take manhattan? what's the meaning of it? interesting analyses??

Wild Rose, Am I right is guessing that your photo/avatar is actually of a young Nick Cave and not yourself! :wink: I saw a recent tv program about him and was impressed by some of his work. there are indeed some similarities with that of L C. lol yeah, it's not me, because I'm a girl and I hope tha...

Hi wildrose ~ You "look the part" of someone in the arts. Great photo! With writing as an aspiration of yours, I guarantee that you will come to like, respect, and appreciate Leonard more with time. Marianne DeGroot is Dutch, but she mainly [if not exclusively] hangs out in the Chatroom. ...

Shwmae Wildrose (and anyothers I have missed over recent times) I hope you enjoy yourself here and learn to appreciate and enjoy LC. JTS (Personally I find Nick Cave too d**n cheerful :wink: ) too cheerful?? :shock: wow :| how can a man say that :shock: cave is not cheerful at all :D I think LC is ...

welcome again, wildrose. beside his songs, do you know anything else about LC? did you read his novels or his poems? nothing. I found out about Leonard Cohen, because I was curious about who Kurt Cobain sang in Penny Royal Tea. I felt kind of depressed and he sung: give me a leonard cohen afterworl...

i'm sure someone posted about this already.. somewhere.. but.. i just wanna do it again i just bought the cd "Jeff Buckley - Grace" (just because hallelujah was on it) and.. i must say. .. it was worth every penny ! (5euro) jeff buckley sings hallelujah so damn beautiful... it's SO differ...

Hello, LC-fans... I'm new here and I would like to introduce myself in this topic. I can't call myself a huge LC-fan, because I listen more to Nick Cave and Jeff Buckley. But LC is a interesting person and his songs are worth the listen to. I study dutch language and culture at university in Groning...

hello everyone(especially wildrose, i'm glad there's someone "newer" than me) and thank you for your answers; i think i'll just take whatever comes into my hand and so on. margaret, now i really am interested in the life versions, i think they are great. Suddenly the night has grown colde...

Welcome wildrose and A'af. Don't hesitate to go ahead and get the other albums, wildrose. I had presumed you to be a woman, given your name, wildrose. What prompted you to choose it? By the way, [for all new listeners], The Essential had to stop somewhere, but the unincluded ones could well have be...

hi guys! :D I'm new here, just found out about the existence of a forum on this site :shock: I only have one LC album (yeah shame on mee :oops:), but it's the album 'the essential', so I've collected the best songs, I guess. My fave ones are Hallelujah (of course), First we take Manhatten (because o...
