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…
Leafless trees hung low in the cold.

No pity, no tears, no profound song.
Just gone.

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.

I strapped on my acoustic and had a go with this great song. Recorded in one go straight into my Boss microBR built in mic. No fussing around wit this one.
Reg went to a funeral of an old friend the other day. He then went for a drink in the cellar and got chatting with Vincent Price and Elvis about life being just a game that you couldn't win no matter how well you played . Reg started jamming over…
I was taken aback, really, expecting, "The Crying Game." Goes to show you should wear your glasses even to listen to music.
Too clever too be depressing. I like it.
An unusual traditional tune from the first Scartaglen album way back in 1984. Going through stuff the other day and ran across the LP and couldn't even remember the tune or having recorded it. I played guitar on this track

A simple mind
not evil or unkind
had lost it's sight
of anything but it's spot in the night
the words should have been unsaid
what they did can't be undone…
Faith is assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
When Faith goes to the market, it always takes a basket.
The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith and the beginning of faith is the end of anxiety. [George Mueller…
Kinda rough. I'm uploading this mainly to share a guitar technique I've been working on. I'm wearing a slide on my picking hand and using it to alter pitches in single line phrases. There's a lot more can be done with this technique that I've…
Awesome. I hadn't read the description and couldn't figure out what was going on here. Very David Gimour in both tone and quality. Would love to see a glimpse of what you're doing.

When I first started to play Guitar in April 2009, Geir was there to help me create tracks...
This is one where I put down a an amature track and he made something from it...

Great vocals and lyrics... made up on the spot, eh? The whole song gives me the feeling of traveling through a busy place unnoticed, slowly, inching along... great track.

I wasn't too freaked out until 3:45 when Chef stepped in. Awesome.
Kept the feeling of the original. I'm a sucker for a good Floyd cover!
And the ending is extra super double freakin' awesome! Great, cute tune.
Fantastic. Great lyrics. Strangely Beatlesque.
Good jam. I really love the running bass. Poor old Mary. ;(
Looked to see who else has a cover of this. Just fantastic.
Touching. You are beautiful.
Great job. I love this, along with Danny Boy. Something about the beauty and the timelessness of both songs.

Catchy little tune. I like!
I'm usually not a fan of a big celtic sound, but this is just amazing. Beautiful and happy. This really moves me.
Fantastic tune. Took me right back to sitting in the dark last night with my scotch....
Improv or not, this is really awesome.
Haunting, but bold and jazzy. I really like this. Thanks for sharing.
oO

Unique rhythm, unique vocal, great biting harp. I love this stuff.
Oh my.
A little strange guys... strangely compelling. ;)
