According to all of you, which is the most sensual Leonard Cohen's song. Lyrics, instrumentation and voice must be considered as one. It's that ONE that must be most sensual than the others.
For myself, I go with «You have loved enough»

For me the song that is most sensual is Paper Thin Hotel. I think that song touches the very core of masculine longing and insecurity

difficult, so many to choose from, but I think I go for "light as a breeze"
"I'm sick of pretending,
Im broken from bending
I've lived to long on my kneese"
"...she said drink deeply pilgrim,
but don't forget there is still a woman
beneath this resplendent
chemise"
"...so I knelt there at the delta
at the alpha and the omega
I knelt there like one who believes
I like a blessing come from heaven"
for something like a second
I'm cured, and my heart is at ease"

Paper Thin hotel.
Though I remember when the album had just come out sitting in a pub and a friend singing, 'It's written on this pub wall. You go to heaven carrying a football...'
Which after a few pints is very funny.
Sorry.

Dance Me To The End Of Love
and
Joan of Arc.

1. Paper Thin Hotel
2. Tonight Will Be Fine
3. Light as a Breeze
...in that order.
p.s. oops...I meant Tonight will be Fine when I put Lady Midnight at no. 2.
As for the oneness as Andrew puts it, it would be Paper Thin Hotel as in the studio recording of Death of A Ladies Man.

According to September-Cohen's oneness in the original posting on this string, there is an outstanding Cohen song for me: it HAS to be "If It Be Your Will" (live version, as recorded on his "Leonard Cohen Live" album).
I have written in some detail about this version on a thread I kicked off elsewhere on this board, so I invite correspondents to read what I and others have spoken about this sensual/ transcendental masterpiece.
Yours,
Andrew.

I would say just about all of them, or some part of them, LC is the master of sensual in my opinion, but if I have to choose for me it is:
1) Be For Real
2) I'm Your Man
3) Dance Me to End Of Love

Be For Real is by Frederick Knight.

In my opinion, all of his songs are very sensual. The most sensual is Dance Me To The End Of Love. I agree with Linda, Leonard is the Master of sensuality.
