I had to give this a listen because it is one of my favorite Cohen songs - although I like the Rufus Wainwright version even better than Cohen's.
Yours is a very interesting interpretation. Something you have to listen to with dedication. It did not grab me immediately - but after a couple of bars you had me. And now I'll hit that heart button thing up there. :)
... again ... for Randy.
Memories of old magazines gathering dust on the shelves with things you never could let go of.
Dirty chess sets hardly touched. Empty bottles of cheap scotch you never could get enough of.
And it's a shameful world…
Leafless trees hung low in the cold.
I saw myself kneel, fall, die all alone.
No pity, no tears, no profound song.
Just gone.
The limbs of the trees broke in the wind.
Worn and old from beckoning, again and again.
But no god came. In the end…

Just a simple song about a horsey ride. Little me and my Alvarez, recorded on a single cheap MXL mic., no effects.
--
Misty on my face is the love of gods calling me
Ice upon my skin made more painful by this solitude
Ride upon my broken steed…

This song is something special to me. I think it was special to John too. It hurts to miss people who are gone from your life, but I think it's worse to forget them.

V1
of all the bad feelings
that are trying to take over me
I don't know which one to choose
all the fears, sadness and anxiety
Pre Chorus 1
since the first time I saw you
you seemed to be some love from a past life
I couldn't stop thinking…
Your music is beautiful. It feels like somebody practicing how to express something that is too hard to say out loud. You have a great voice too, it would be nice to hear it a bit more clean.
Thank you for sharing!
mixed , mastered , vocals backing vocals , guitar , lead guitar , bass guitar , played by myself , strings, brass played on keyboard , hope you like it , thanks for your time .......cheers tony cee
Yeah, this is really cool. I wouldn't have known how to describe it, but Andrew's description works! It really felt like the drums were going to pull out and then jump into a Ringo backbeat through the chorus, then instead we got the brass filling in that jazzy feeling.
The solo is great too. Keep it up!
Mr. Greene
The most beautiful man I’d ever seen
Our high school teacher Mr. Greene
Little more than a child at seventeen
In love with our teacher Mr. Greene
Immature and so out of touch
Just a silly schoolgirl crush.
Dreamy kid; Duran…
Lessons not, quickly forgotten.
Stable eye, upbuild downtrodden.
Troubled times, lay down often.
Catch the sky, once in a while.
No longer a sound.
Lack of presence feelin' down.
Nothing to put my arms around.
Emptiness is not profound…
I wanted a loose nod to “Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues”, so I started it in the rain and ended it with returning to someplace I used to live. But then because of Bud Cort I thought the singer should inexplicably die at the end of each verse. This…

Reg was sat below the cliff having a sneaky smoke and he couldn't believe what he was witnessing ......I recorded the acoustic with the mic then added bass then a bit of piano and string then the tele then I decided what the subject would be and…
[Verse 1]
I just got done with a slog
Hard to see with the fog
I try to stay in my log cabin
I recall what’s on the other side
Which is a far off planet
I’m there, I astral project but
I am still where I have been
Back in this damn project…

The progression in the verses is dangerously close to Stairway, but without the augmented transition. You are an evil soul for such a puzzle, but the song itself is haunting and I really like.
Track 3 from The Bunker 2013
Summer Breeze
The summer breeze
Brings it all back to me
starlight skies
Pull me to my knees to cry
But the Blue sky and the sun gives me hope
love will come to me again
The greys skies
Take my hope…
Hes back on the booze.......
Fallen from Grace again (Lyrics)
before you judge take a walk in my mind
walk in my shoes if you’ve got the time
people don’t laugh i’m broken again
cause i’ve fallen from grace again
i’ve fallen from grace again…
Reg is leaving in the morning...there's a great big world out there to see....Acoustic & Voice trying to play that Bb Harp.........
I can’t play it safe (Lyrics
i can hear you say you want to play it safe
but i’ve got dreams i want to…

Very nice! I guess I'll listen to this song a couple more times tonight. :)

Lovely.

I feel like I just read somebody's diary.... This feels brutally honest and the vocals and instrumentation are spot on. Very nice!
This is a real punch in the gut, in a good way.
Actually kind of Crispen Glover and Howard Hessman too.
You brought two of my favorite humans together for the first time -- Bud Cort and Bob Dylan. If you only had Ruth Gordon going full Yoko....
This is the same vibe I get from Dylan's Make You Feel My Love....
There is a brutality to this that is uncannily beautiful. It finished playing minutes ago but is still spinning in my head in more ways than one.
Your art feels like a cross between Wesley Willis and poetry. Really interesting.
Sticking with Stairway. And this is still stuck in my head.
Or even Hotel Cali... you are so evil.

This is great stuff. Thank you for sharing.
Jesus. What brilliance is this?
Glad to hear from you. I don't hear any work that needs to be done...
Diggin' it.
You've really pulled in that haunting pain from the Animals' version. Awesome stuff.
This is what happens when you drop too much acid and get lost in the Bridge of Echoes.
Another brilliant track. You have the uncanny knack to make everything you say hit close to home.
This belongs on Blonde on Blonde.
