Interesting that "The Trapeze Swinger" influenced them. I’ve always liked that song. The version I have is by Gregory Alan Isakov who really admires Leonard and has covered some of his songs well. As said above, the original writer of it is Iron & Wine who had a song in the Twilight movie series that I also have called "Flightless Bird, American Mouth". Coincidentally, the producer of this new album is Kristen Stewart who 'everybody knows' starred in the Twilight movies.Elsewhere, the album will include a song called “Leonard Cohen,” which was inspired by the three musicians listening to Iron & Wine’s “Trapeze Swinger” on a road trip in Northern California. “It was impossible to interrupt this ten-minute-long song,” the band said in press material. “Because of how the exits were spaced, ‘Trapeze Swinger’ added an hour to their travel time. Phoebe felt like an idiot. Lucy turned that drive into the song ‘Leonard Cohen.’”
Sometimes it seems that things really do move in circles
