BEST COVER VERSIONS OF A LEONARD COHEN SONG OF ALL TIME
Re: BEST COVER VERSIONS OF A LEONARD COHEN SONG OF ALL TIME
Also not a big fan of any Leonard Cohen covers.
I'm gonna stick my neck out and say I quite like this dance version of Dance Me to the End of Love by Misstress Barbara.

I like it, not just as a Cohen song, I like the production. I also appreciate that it is not really an imitation.

Re: BEST COVER VERSIONS OF A LEONARD COHEN SONG OF ALL TIME
one of the best amateur renditions I have ever heard, and i would definitely say equal to any professional singer, is this incredible version of Hallelujah. One music expert and author of the video "How to sing hallelujah badly" wrote a comment and simply said, "amazing!"
You have to hear this and i hope you enjoy. This older fellow really needs to be recognised for this talent. Seldom do I really feel moved by versions of this song, but this one did.

Re: BEST COVER VERSIONS OF A LEONARD COHEN SONG OF ALL TIME
it might interest the author of post above that cohens hallelujah was not really a successful hit until it was covered by others, such as the wonderful cover by rufus wainwright.
so many great artists in this world do covers, and many get discovered by covers. It is in my humble opinion elitist and kind of ignorant really to reject cover versions of songs.

Re: BEST COVER VERSIONS OF A LEONARD COHEN SONG OF ALL TIME
I was most certainly moved by this interpretation - further away from the speakers in fact, due to the exceedingly dubious intonation in parts.museme wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2017 7:50 am one of the best amateur renditions I have ever heard, and i would definitely say equal to any professional singer, is this incredible version of Hallelujah.

Young up and coming Irish superstar David Keenan just did his version of "So Long Marianne" on the Joe.ie show. It's a beautiful piece of work. It's on the Joe.ie facebook page.

Re: BEST COVER VERSIONS OF A LEONARD COHEN SONG OF ALL TIME
I may be in a minority but I found the vocal embellishment of the melody line and the occasional use of falsetto, intentional or not, to be a distraction.Realmusic2017 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2017 10:55 pm Young up and coming Irish superstar David Keenan just did his version of "So Long Marianne" on the Joe.ie show.

Re: BEST COVER VERSIONS OF A LEONARD COHEN SONG OF ALL TIME
My favourite LC cover album is "Strange Song: The Songs of Leonard Cohen" by Nadia Kazmi. Magnificant, or at least magnificently brave and original. Indie guitar rock, strangely full of vocal experiments and changes in dynamics, which shed a different light on our beloved verses.
Strongly recommended: True Love Leaves No Traces; I Came so Far for Beauty.
Love,
Nenad

Re: BEST COVER VERSIONS OF A LEONARD COHEN SONG OF ALL TIME
My current fav is Michel Griffin’s cover of DANCE ME TO THE END OF LOVE at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUG4Cnih4dY What is so unique about this take is that it’s set to a tango rhythm—something Griffin explains the genesis for at the end of the video. And that explanation is chilling...it will give you goosebumps. I’m on his mailing list and am getting a new video each week prior to his album’s November release date, and am enjoying them all—so diverse, so beautifully done—this is someone who understands Cohen to the depth of his soul, that’s for sure.
