Radio Free Jezebel: The Leonard Cohen Revival Hour

Every poet should be familiar with this man's work.

I recommend listening to this while on lying your back on the living room floor, holding a glass of some sort of quality hard liquor. And sing. Sing along with Leonard. If you sing, he'll cleanse your soul. You will emerge truly baptized.

Hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah.

Famous Blue Raincoat
You treated my woman to a flake of your life,
And when she came back, she was nobody's wife.


Suzanne
I can't find a single line from this that I don't want to quote. Not one.

Tower of Song
Quote some lines from this one and you'll probably get to see me naked.


Same with this one:
I'm Your Man
It is PURELY A COINCIDENCE that the video happens to have a few pictures of Johnny Depp.


So Long Marianne
You held onto me like a crucifix

Everybody Knows

And this here's a powerful trance:
Who By Fire
with Sonny Rollins
These people are having a religious experience. Watch them closely.

Who by brave assent
Who by accident

Lastly this.
Chelsea Hotel
This was reportedly written for Janis Joplin. It breaks my heart. It's phenomenal.

We are ugly, but we have the music.

Enjoy. Seriously. I love this man.

absolutely
have done the singing thing , he does rip something from deep inside you
I saw a documentary on him ( unfortunately Nick Cave was awful) but anyway Cohen was talking about one song it took him 10 years to write and finish.
That's fucking craftsmanship

Hallelujah, Suzzane, Chelsea Hotel all make me cry when I sing them
but it's an opening, embracing cry.
cleaning your soul pretty much hits it on the head
thanks for this set
:rose:

Gosh and I would have thought your first 45 was this. :) (Oh I would have so hit on that drummer, so cute. I only date bass players now though).

My first 45 (we had a great little record player until it blew up one day in my sister's face lol) was The Beatles, of course. I had that song on the original Swan lablel in the original sleeve. I've shed many tears over the Beatles stuff my mother threw out. But the rents never understand, do they? I still remember my father bought me a Frankie Avalon record. Eww. My sister and I thought he sounded like he was holding his nose when he sang Dee-Dee Dinah.

And I actually tripped over Bobby Rydell's feet at the New Jersey State Fair. He was there with Dick Clark's Caravan of Stars and I was seven and goofy. Now I'm old and goofy.

But my parents couldn't hold back the tide of change. I read Lenny Bruce and listened to Bobby Z. Next thing you know I was going to the Fillmore East to see beautiful Laura and to the Electric Factory in Philly to see Janis (she wore purple velvet and a cape the night I saw her and was swigging from a Southern Comfort bottle the whole time--she was amazing) and Jimi and Lou, who I actually saw at a teeny little club in Philly called The Trauma.

Some of my soundtrack. You got me remembering. :)

:kiss:

ahhhhhh so nice to hear all this
:D
we had the Beatles 45 with " You Know My Name ( look up the number)" on the B side ( Hey Jude maybe??)
on the apple label
Thats when I realized John Lennon was a very funny and creative man.

I had the Sgt Pepper album with the cut out moustaches...I was 8 years old and listened to it over and over
That was the amazing thing about that album, any one of any age could enjoy it.

I saw Lou at the Paradise rock club in Boston, sat so close I could put my feet up on the stage
he was doing the " Street Hassle" album
Some heavy shit for a 5 piece band

I love that Big Brother and the Holding Company clip. Sometimes I feel like that's my life's anthem: Try. Just a Little Bit Harder. <wry emote>

Here's another great old Janis video. What a voice. She really was like the bastard grandchild of Bessie Smith.

I saw the Velvet Underground in the summer of 1968, I believe. I know John Cale was still with them. I wish I had seen Lou when he did the tour for the New York album. That has always been my favorite--especially Busload of Faith. One of my favorite songs ever, ever, ever.

That last clip made me remember how much I love this song. And look at Paul Simon's earlobes. I never noticed before what strange, attached earlobes he has.

That what being a writer will get you. Extreme powers of observation. :D
 
You can blame Tath, but my head is full of my soundtrack now. One of the first times I ever uh tripped, my pals and I climbed a mountain trail with a big old reel-to-reel tape player. We listened to Moby Grape and early Grateful Dead. We sat all night on a huge flat rock (known as The Devil's Tea Table) overlooking the Delaware River, lit a fire and danced. My one friend spent most of the trip picking flowers and spelling out one of my bff's name with them. My other bff thought it meant he had killed her. Lol. That darn LSD. I just danced until the sun came up, when we listened to this. It was a perfect night, the kind you look back on years later and think there must have been magic in the air.
 
Norman Smith (born 22 February 1923) is a musician and record producer. He was the engineer on all of the recordings by the Beatles up until 1965 when EMI promoted him from engineer to producer. The last Beatles album he recorded was Rubber Soul.

A native of the North London area of Edmonton, Smith was working with the Beatles on 17 June 1965 when he was offered 15,000 pounds by the band's music publishing company, Dick James Music, to buy outright a song he had written.

In early 1967, he began working with a new group, Pink Floyd, producing their first three studio albums The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, A Saucerful of Secrets, and Ummagumma. During the sessions for the song, "Remember a Day", drummer Nick Mason became agitated that he could not come up with the right drum part for the song. Smith, however, knew what he wanted with the drums, so he played the part himself.

In 1968, Smith produced one of the first rock concept albums, The Pretty Things' S.F. Sorrow.

In 1971, Smith, using his recording artist pseudonym of "Hurricane Smith," had a UK hit with "Don't Let It Die". In 1972, he enjoyed a transatlantic hit with "Oh Babe What Would You Say?", which became a U.S. # 1 Cashbox hit.[citation needed] This recording was a demo of a song that he had written for a different artist to record. When he played it for fellow record producer Mickie Most, Most was impressed enough to tell him to release it as it was.

Oh Babe

Shitty video but god I love this song
 
I can't thank you all enough for playing on this thread. Every day I get to come to work and tune in to my very own radio show where all these cool people are creating sets for me.

tungtied, that is a ROCKIN set. A fine way to start the day. And Tath, I can hardly keep up with your wonderfulness.

I'm putting together a set but haven't had time during Raven Week. Meanwhile though, the Blood Sweat and Tears cut reminded me that this is who I want to be when I grow up.

I have a selfish question. My classes are trying to look at one poem or song every day. The theory behind it being that you cannot appreciate something if you have only every heard one or two of whatever it is.

Anyway, I wanted to know what your all time favourite songs are based mainly on lyrics.

Thanks,

SC
