Re: Along the way ... Discovering Leonard's Albums. continued...

Good morning, I find that I am now checking this thread out on an almost daily basis, I guess like B4 said, it's a way of healing. B4, thank you for the wealth of information you provide, especially the quotes. Never saw the LC quote with the Bob Dylan "Mr. Jones" reference. Highway 61 Rev...

Re: Along the way ... Discovering Leonard's Albums. continued...

The "bonus songs" on the re-release of his first three albums always make me wonder, what other song projects are sitting in boxes somewhere because they were not quite up to Leonard's standards? I expect that eventually some of this work will surface, and I have great hopes that this will...

Re: Bench updates

Jarkko,

Thanks for your efforts, which must have been considerably greater than are apparent in this thread, to see this project through. I admire your patience and hope many fans get the opportunity to see the result.

Re: Along the way ... Discovering Leonard's Albums. continued...

Vickie, I had to laugh when you said you just returned from a "quick 12-hour trip to Montana," I guess your geographic sphere is expanded when you live in the wild west. What made your comment stand out is, we are currently hotly debating whether a trip to see Charleston, SC is worth the g...

Re: Along the way ... Discovering Leonard's Albums. continued...

Yes, of course I have been reading this thread with interest. Finally had the opportunity to listen to Recent Songs. As always, his lyrics are impeccable and stand on their own, but my initial reaction to the music was it's all over the place. Favorite tracks are The Gypsy's Wife, followed closely b...

Re: Along the way ... Discovering Leonard's Albums. continued...

Too occupied with other activities to contribute much just now, but here's a short anecdote showing that there are a lot of fans even though we may not always notice them. We drove to Kingston, Ontario in 12/2012 to attend the concert there, having booked lodging at a small hotel/large B&B, the ...

Re: Along the way ... Discovering Leonard's Albums. continued...

Vickie, When you say LC did not write the lyrics for "Waiting for the Miracle," are you sure? I know this song was co-written with Sharon, but I always thought he wrote the lyrics and she wrote the music. The lyrics really seem like quintessential LC to me, maybe B4 knows the answer (it do...

Re: Along the way ... Discovering Leonard's Albums. continued...

Now you two have done it, talking about this DNA testing! Curiosity is getting to me, maybe I will follow through with a test of my own. Another thing to add to my to-do list. Sadly I have been Cohen-free for awhile, just when I started to listen to my "new album," my stereo went on the bl...

Re: Along the way ... Discovering Leonard's Albums. continued...

Vickie, You should have asked your question about the Mother/Son reception dance before the recent talk about "Take This Waltz." Right now that's the one that seems perfect to me, and it's hard to imagine anything else! Brings back memories of our wedding, we (mostly Joann) arranged the wh...

Re: Along the way ... Discovering Leonard's Albums. continued...

In this same section (Leonard Cohen's Music) there is a post that fits in perfectly with Vickie's "studies." Someone named Roy posted a very thoughtful and well-written piece on that album, anyone interested in LC should read "I'm Your Man Reinvented Leonard Cohen at Age 53." It ...

Re: The Leonard Cohen voice

Your voice does remind me of Leonard's, but before it deepened for the final tours and albums. Smoke cigarettes for 5-10 years, then you'll be there. Actually, your voice, and the song (which I liked a lot) remind me more of some of Mark Knopfler's work. Take this as a complement. Have you any other...

Re: Along the way ... Discovering Leonard's Albums. continued...

B4, thanks for so many video links. Whenever I get the urge, I will come here and sample some. It's great that you got to see LC a number of times in Australia (sorry Vickie, NOT meant to rub it in). Given the distance and logistics, it would have been easy for the band to skip Australia or gone the...

Re: Along the way ... Discovering Leonard's Albums. continued...

A bit of humor on a rainy day. I was always truly amazed that Leonard could remember all the lyrics without using any sort of teleprompter given that (a) he wrote so many songs and poems; (b) there were often additional lyrics/verses that were omitted in the final versions, but which might have stil...

Amazon just delivered a NEW Leonard Cohen album. It's titled Recent Songs, have any of you heard it?

B4, were you at Lucca, or was your comment on the sound check based on seeing the video?

4 to B4,

Thanks for the Austin City link, I had not seen it before. It cost me an unplanned hour of my day, but I am not complaining!
