What an utterly fabulous song. I’ve been humming this in my head through the weekend. And how our preferences change over the years. I used to love the Joan Baez version, but as I age (cough!), I’ve come to realize just how beautiful and deep the original by Leonard Cohen is. Here’s an excellent compilation of all the covers.
I have a feeling I am going to hum this song in my head through the week now. No escape.
I love this song! Can’t help squeal in delight anytime, I come across a reference :)
Yes,
And thanks for the trouble you took…
from her eyes…
I thought it was there for good
so I never tried.
what a turn of phrase right there… really startled me when the “from her eyes” bit came out…. now WHO would have expected such a slam dunk.
Love this song…the baez version is awesome too…..!!!!
Cohen rocks…have u read his books? heard they are good as well….
Umm…most covers by Joan Baez – and this is strictly my personal preference – do not seem to hold up very well against the originals.
