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…

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 was just really bored, so I decided to record this truly epic song.
Actually, funny story about how I recorded this. You know those long, black, skinny, microphones you can buy at Wal-Mart, in the computer section? Yeah, I used that, and Cubase…

I really like your playing and vocals, and the odd tone the microphone gives your vocal is really endearing. I could do without the background vocal, but everyone has their own thoughts, right? :) I like!
A Friend of mine (Dave Passourd) is a very talented song writer...
But he never records his stuff....
His songs rest with the memories of those that are lucky enough to get to hear his tunes.
Here is what I remember of a Song that he…
Thank you for the kind comments. I've come back to your catalogue again, and you have so much cool stuff here. I love this. Your playing is impeccable.
I have to admit ... a little strange on the mash ... but your playing is excellent and I love the vocals and tone. Going to have to keep an eye on you!

It's been tough to keep up lately, hope everyone is well.
Something I was working on as part of a larger project. When it's done I'll link it.

At the lake we were crawling around
til our knees left bloodstains on the ground
licked our wounds and the pain went away
fell asleep at the end of a day
we dug holes and carved signs into trees
made ourselves a bed out of leaves
and in the…
An ambient guitar piece done rather quickly, warts and all.
Stems from ideas I've been developing on my new JamMan looper pedal (catnip for guitarists if there ever was such a thing).
This is my first musical expedition into the midi keyboard. Having never played the piano its a fun learning experience. Thanks to Norm for lending me Stinkbug!
We Didn't Get Time to do this in Norway.
Geir put down great the Guitars.
I took the Vox and Lyrics...
This is called "Your Heart"
-Your Heart-
Your shout is silent now
It feels I’m missing out
This void is lasting evermore…

Magic. Awesome.
On second listen, the backgrounds do add more than I thought at first, and I love your vocal tone. Thanks for posting!

Cool take. Well done, even if it made me a bit depressed. ;)

Beautiful, emotional. Great one.
I have to admit ... a little strange on the mash ... but your playing is excellent and I love the vocals and tone. Going to have to keep an eye on you!
Relaxing take on insanity... ;) and well done. I like the vocals especially. Good one.
Oh my. That one stirs some emotions for sure.
AHhhhHhhhHHhhh!
I was thinking this sounded like lively Wallflowers song... then I read the description. Silly me. Good track.
Nice playing, great chord movement. I like.
I love everything you've uploaded here, but after listening to them all, this little tune just sticks in my head. Keep up the good work!
Your sound and playing are both bloody brilliant. I love that almost conflicting rhythm in the picking.
Good one; beautiful melody, done well. I'm jealous of the honesty in your voice and your tone. Thanks for sharing.
This makes a pretty nifty sound overall. What do you use for the recording and mixing? Will check the rest out later!
These tracks are all dreamy, relaxing and make you think. I like. Also, the gluMMI Bears album cover deserves mention as being awesome. :)
Cool stuff.
Fantastic stuff.
Another quality tune. Keep it coming!
