That's No Way to Say Goodbye
This week, we visit Leonard Cohen's house in Los Angeles where he spent his last years, and say goodbye. The song, originally written for Marianne when he bid her a sad farewell in Hydra, becomes a lyrical elegy to Leonard himself as we drive slowly through his neighborhood ... https://www.youtube.c...

Suzanne Verdal
No collection of Cohen songs would be complete without the song that launched Leonard's career in 1966. A song about the dancer Suzanne Verdal. It's a song about blind faith - and a song from which Cohen garnered no royalties, having signed - in an act of blind faith - a "standard songwriter's ...

Come forth from your cloud of unknowing ....
.... and kiss the cheek of the moon. This week's video is of one of Cohen's most poetic and most mystical songs. And while the meaning of each line may be obscure, it's a case of the whole adding up to more than the sum of its parts, as the music steadily gains in intensity and wraps itself around y...

Like a Bird on the Wire
Today we get out of the studio, and you get to watch me dancing round a swimming pool, moving from perch to perch, like a bird on the wire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ldj0h1IWDkQ Enjoy! P.S. You can hear the whole album on iTunes at https://music.apple.com/us/album/dance-me-to-the-end-of-love/1...

One of Us ....
.... Cannot be Wrong When begging didn't work in breaking down Nico's indifference to his charms, Cohen turned to wry laconic humor, his talent for which is amply demonstrated in this week's video, One of Us Cannot be Wrong ...

Take this Longing
Here's another video featuring a song from my forthcoming album of LC songs called "Dance Me to the End of Love". It features the first of two songs on the album about Nico, famous companion to Andy Warhol and Bob Dylan, and with whom Cohen was completely infatuated for a period. It's one ...

Stories of the Street
4 minutes & 36 seconds of intrigue, movement - and even, occasionally - of beauty. I put together this week's video out of footage I shot in California & New York, mixed in with clips from a variety of online sources. It illustrates "Stories of the Street", the 8th track of my albu...

EVERYBODY KNOWS
I had a lot of fun recording this cover and putting together the video, and I hope you have as much fun watching it. It takes us out of the studio, from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, from Mussolini to Trump, from Marilyn Monroe to the assiduous policemen of New York City ... And it's the only reggae ver...

Re: Leonard and e e cummings
Fascinating stuff! Thanks for posting this. For me, what is strikingly similar between the cummings poem and Cohen's Suzanne is that both authors are striving to elicit a physical reaction - in cummings' case, an explicity sexual reaction - to the activity of their minds. We know that Leonard would ...
