1. Last Leonard song listened to? Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye

2. When is the last time you played one of his songs for someone? What was their reaction? I was hanging out with my friend in my bedroom and put on"In my Secret Life" She listened carefully and said afterward, "He is a genius."

3. A Leonard lyric/line that would sum up your current feeling?
It don't matter how it all went wrong
That don't change the way I feel
And I can't believe that time's
Gonna heal this wound I'm speaking of
There ain't no cure,
There ain't no cure,
There ain't no cure for love.


4. Do you consider yourself a minor or major fan?
Major.

5. Where do you listen to Leonard most?
My car.

6. Any song you skip over repeatedly because you never have the mood for it?

1. The entite Ten New Songs, last night.

2. Someone new? Don't remeber - everyone around me are inflected by Cohen because of me (and everyone likes him).

3. And sometimes when the night is slow, the wretched and the meek we gather up our hearts and go, a thousand kisses deep - always.

4. Major I guess.

5. On my CD walkman. And on working place - I am so luck that lady with whom I share the office was major fan in 70s and 80s and now she's totally rediscovered Cohen - bigger fan than me, I'd say.

6. Tower Of Song. Always. Fingerprints.

1. "born to lose" w/elton john

2. i don't remember the last time i played leonard for anyone, but i do remember playing "the future" album in the car with my dad. he asked, "is this lou reed?" he knew i liked both artists but was unfamiliar with either. hahaha. they are both pretty old anyway. haha.

3. "now you can say that i've grown bitter, but of this you may be sure/the rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor/and there's a mighty judgment coming, but I may be wrong."

4. major

5. usually on my stereo in my room while i'm getting ready for work or something.

6. i don't really skip over too much, whenever i put on leonard i just let the cd play out. but i don't listen to "recent songs" or "songs of love and hate" too much. though there are some good songs on both.

1 - The Captain
2 -I played a thousand kisses deep for my sister a few months ago and she loved it.
3 - "I hear that you're building your little house, deep in the desert. You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record."
4 - at the minute, somewhere between the two.
5 - My bedroom
6 - none

Questions

Post by Jim Williams »

1. Last Leonard song listened to?

Field Commander Cohen

2. When is the last time you played one of his songs for someone? What was their reaction?

A Thousand Kisses Deep - to a friend a few weeks ago. He's not a music lover, really, so I was surprised he expressed an opinion at all. "I like that one", he said. Hallelujah!

3. A Leonard lyric/line that would sum up your current feeling?

If it be your will
That I speak no more
And my voice be still
As it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until
I am spoken for
If it be your will

4. Do you consider yourself a minor or major fan?

Major, I guess - but that's hard to quantify subjectively, right?

5. Where do you listen to Leonard most?

At home - nowhere else.

6. Any song you skip over repeatedly because you never have the mood for it?

No

1. So Long Marrianne
2. I play Because of to my girlfriend everytime she comes over for a visit because she can't stand the creepiness. It is very fun to force her to sit through it.

3. Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that I just might win
You know the way to stop me, but you don't have the discipline
How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

4. I'm posting on a message board. I had better be a major fan!
5. Everywhere
6. The Guests

-Anthem

-everybody going someplace in my car has to listen. usually the kids say: oh, your strange music again

-are there no more saints and wizards to praise their ways with pupils (not lc line, or is it? but i suppose it should be what he wants to express as he sings it)

-major; hardly ever listened to anything else

-every evening at home, in car

-never liked always, ballad of the absent mare (though the text is beautiful), most of death of a ladies' man

1. Last Leonard song listened to?

Chelsea Hotel #2

2. When is the last time you played one of his songs for someone? What was their reaction?

Can't remember last time I played one of his songs to anyone who wasn't already a fan... However, one of my friends (the one who introduced me to LC) and I do sometimes sing a few of his songs together, usually when we've had a few beers; what the reactions of the other people in the pub might be, I wouldn't care to guess...

3. A Leonard lyric/line that would sum up your current feeling?

And I loved you when our love was blessed
and I love you now there's nothing left
but sorrow and a sense of overtime
and I missed you since the place got wrecked
And I just don't care what happens next
looks like freedom but it feels like death
it's something in between, I guess...

4. Do you consider yourself a minor or major fan?

As far as music is concerned, definitely major - now I need to read some of the poetry and the novels...

5. Where do you listen to Leonard most?

At home (so I can sing along without traumatising the innocent citizens of Manchester) :oops:

6. Any song you skip over repeatedly because you never have the mood for it?

Un Canadien Errant has never done much for me.
