I think at the moment, my favourite leonard cohen song is "Avalanche". Excellent track - download it (and the album it's on) if you have spare time and space. |

I really like Waiting for the Miracle - what do you think about The Future, on the same album as Waiting.... ? I think they go excellently together. :) jupitah... my favourite LP of his "songs of love and hate" - tho it may be a bit too much for a 1st time listener - I'd recommend Songs from a Room LP first :) |

to be honest, i was answering your question w/o owning or having heard any of his albums. there are a couple of his songs on the natural born killers soundtrack, which is a favorite of mine, and i first heard "i'm your man" in a figure skating competition! i've since heard it on the radio and downloaded it. there are a few other songs i've heard but not many. i'll be watching this thread for peoples' favorites... |

hehe -- I would go to allmusic.com, and have a look :) His early stuff is really great... VERY unlike Waiting For The Miracle.... |
||||||||
|

|
|
you can get his lyrics and clips of his songs there :) |

"The Stranger Song" off of Songs of Leonard Cohen has always been my favorite. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, i'll get that. |

My favorite Cohen is "Hallelulja" It is also the only Cohen song i have heard haha! Very powerfull song , love it. It was in the movie "Shreck" , the scene where the princess is going to get married and both her and shreck is sad and lonely . This was some other guy singing it so i downloaded cohens original version and found it to be even better. Get that one Titsworth , i showed it to Raimons and he loved it to. Marlowe , wich album is Hallelulja on? |

In My Secret Life A Thousand Kisses Deep i like the whole "ten new songs" album actually |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Sido - it's on the 1985 album "Various Positions" :) I'm more a fan of his early stuff though. |

I think anyone wanted to get into Cohen should just check out the classic Best of compilation. My favourite L. Cohen moments: Master Song Tonight Will Be Fine Famous Blue Raincoat Take This Longing Story of Isaac |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Take This Longing sends shivers down my spine... so beautiful :'( |

Have you hearrd the Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds coverr of Avalanche? It's song 1 on the album From Her to Eternity. Grreat trrack to open that album on. He rreally caputurres the claustrrophobia of the trrack. |
||||||||

As forr my fav song, that's easy: it's everry song on The Songs of Leonard Cohen equally. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'Famous Blue Raincoat'..perhaps.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'who by fire' is definatley my fav song closely followed by 'famous blue raincoat' |
||||||||
|

Dress Rehearsal Rag. Horrifying, harrowing, hilarious. The image of a disturbed Santa Claus is one of my favorite in all of music. String arrangement... faultless. Children's choir? What the fuck. |
||||||||
|
|

|

Yes, it's a fantastic song. I recently watched a documentary / hour-long interview with Cohen, filmed after he left the monastery. I didn't pay much attention to it, but I'm sure it was pretty interesting! I would have preferred a proper biography of him! :D |

While the early acoustic, nassaly-voiced Cohen songs are really all masterpieces of Montreal folk, there's something about "The Future" that's so different from everything else he has done. It's an apocalyptical disc, no wonder Oliver Stone used songs of it for "Natural Born Killers". I mean here's an old guy, singing this : Give me crack and anal sex Take the only tree that's left And stuff it up the hole In your culture Give back the Berlin Wall Give me Stalin and St. Paul I've seen the future, brother It is murder... o_0 |

I like The Future, too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's quite a weak album, though, overall, I thought. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The dress rehearsal rag is a great track!!! |

The only time i ever heard anything about leonard cohen, was in this song by another guy called jeff lewis. it was a song about a guy who got a blow job in a hotel or something.... |

Chelsea Hotel #2 I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, you were talking so brave and so sweet, giving me head on the unmade bed, while the limousines wait in the street. ? |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

two fantastic songs. I can't think of a less-than excellent song on that first album. |
