Suzanne Verdal

No collection of Cohen songs would be complete without the song that launched Leonard's career in 1966. A song about the dancer Suzanne Verdal.
It's a song about blind faith - and a song from which Cohen garnered no royalties, having signed - in an act of blind faith - a "standard songwriter's contract" which gave all the royalties to his record company.
Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzYEChmoR5o
Oh, and I've just discovered that you can download the title track and pre-order the "Dance Me to the End of Love" album on Amazon now as well as iTunes. The links to do so are in the text under the video on YouTube.
Enjoy!
