The cover is very good, solo vocals playing an acoustic guitar.. Wont post it up as this is a Leonard Cohen thread..

Well, I can google it....

I like good covers

But to stay on topic, I quite like the theme from True Detective Season 2...

Here's the you tube in case you didn't work it out;

My 2 bobs worth. I think this is better than Buckleys version

I like this one too

kd lang does a fair job of it...

Still my favorite Cohen song:

From Songs Of Love And Hate which I consider being his best record.

Sing Another Song Boys

and another one

Sorry to disappoint but the guy doesn't come close to the top 100 songs on my list

I'm sure that's a crushing disappointment for all concerned, Troy.

At least he died before finding out.

Two of my LC faves.

My personal favourite of LC's, this a live version:

Music to commit suicide by if you ask me.
Dreadful.

You must love that song (look at your username)





This is a great rendition of Hallelujah by Pentatonix.




Leonard was a romantic and poet.

Favorite of his were already mentioned by others....

The few I liked were..

And this one as well..

My father was a big fan of Leonard.. always heard his stuff on the turntable.

Used to love this and a few others mentioned on this thread. FWTM is one of my favourites.

Another good 'un from I'm Your Man.

I grew up an hour from where Leonard grew up. I have been to Montreal on the street where he had a house and wrote some of his music.
I know the neighborhood pretty well. Montreal is an awesome city!
