Almost Like the Blues (www.youtube.com)

Leonard Cohen at his quintessential best. Dark though ... see what you think:

"I saw some people starving
there was murder there was rape
their villages were burning
they were trying to escape"

1384552 2014-09-22 21:07:00 Thanks. I'm a mega Cohen fan, but surprised that he's still composing. Look forward to hearing it when I get home (in Auckland at the moment with limited bandwidth at the motel) Greg (193)
1384553 2014-09-22 21:56:00 Thanks, added to my selected collection of his stuff...dark is.the word for it, but as you said that's Leonard. bazmeister (3216)

He doesn't appeal to everyone. I (and a sellout crowd of 10K at the Vector Arena) was lucky enough to see him in Auckland just last year, and he's a class act indeed. As are the "sublime" Webb sisters - sounds like them in the backing on this track.

1384555 2014-09-23 06:42:00 Just listened to it... great lyrics, great music, great morbid sounds. He's a legend. Except... out of focus.. Love his sounds. Greg (193)
1384556 2014-09-23 08:51:00 Greg, how are you using "Except... out of focus"? Not a challenge, just looking for an understanding of where you're coming from :) WalOne (4202)
