Songs For Rebecca – The Lost Leonard Cohen Album
In the mid-1970s, Leonard Cohen collaborated with John Lissauer on Songs For Rebecca, an album that was later abandoned. The studio recordings are no longer available, but Leonard Cohen did perform the songs at his Nov 23, 1975 show at The Main Point in Bryn Mawr, PA. While this audience recording is suboptimal, it does offer a taste of what might have been. More information at allanshowalter.com/2019/03/28/songs-for-rebecca-the-lost-leonard-cohen-album-the-songs/

Leonard Cohen Performs Story Of Isaac - Bonn 1980
Переглядів 6 тис.6 років тому
"I was careful in that song [Story of Isaac] to try and put it beyond the pure, beyond the simple, anti-war protest, that it also is. Because it says at the end there the man of war, the man of peace, the peacock spreads his deadly fan. In other words it isn’t necessarily for war that we’re willing to sacrifice each other. We’ll get some idea - some magnificent idea - that we’re willing to sacr...

My favourite song
❤❤❤❤ Nothing but Beautifull.
Mr Cohen is a most wholesome member of our human species population.
'Recent Songs' was a very underappreciated album , and my favourite. The Armenian inspired instrumentation is a stroke of genius. Not a bad cut on the album.
Superb.
Instead of Bob Dylan
Thanks Allan
That whole room didn’t even know they had a Rabbi…
Fred Again brought me here

Remarkable, just so moving.
Sooo beautiful, beautiful man
Marvelous and mystical.
Amazing Grace King James loves his music!
I meant whenever the song comes up in the shuffle. Drugs don’t affect me. Much. 🙂
One of my fave Leonard Cohen performances. Inviting him to sing (in his Leonard way) this song was a stroke of genius. So not in his usual wheelhouse. I’ve got this album on an old iPod that still works. When it comes up in the shuffle, I’m transported to wherever this extraordinary vehicle is travelling with its ghostly passenger. I just love it.
So beautiful. Thank you.
This song cleanses the soul
Way Down Deep Lyrics [Chorus] Way down, way way down Way way down deep You've got me way down, way way down Way way down deep You've got me way down, way down deep I wander with you in my sleep I'm way down, way way down Way way down deep [Verse 1] It came to me this morning I was walking down the street Was like my soul could taste you And God, you tasted sweet Finally I can breathe again Finally I can speak I've got you in the glory place I've got you way down deep [Chorus] I've got you way down, way way down Way way down deep You've got me way down, way way down Way way down deep You've got me way down, way down deep I wander with you in my sleep I'm way down, way way down Way way down deep [Verse 2] Mmm, it's a funny feeling But I cannot say I mind (Cannot say I mind) I know that I'm dealing with A love that's far from blind I see every single angle I look before I leap And how else can I put it When you've got me way down deep (Ah, you've got me way down) [Chorus] You've got me way down, way way down Way way down deep (Way down) You've got me way down, way way down Way way down deep (Way down deep) You've got me way down, way down deep I wander with you in my sleep I'm way down, way way down Way way down deep You might also like The Hunter Jennifer Warnes Lights of Lousianne Jennifer Warnes Take This Waltz Leonard Cohen [Verse 3] Don't matter what we gave away Was nothing we could keep Don't matter what we didn't say You know that talk was cheap (Talk, talk, talk, talk) Forgive me if I hate you You're a liar and a thief But I've got you in the glory place I got you way down deep [Chorus] You've got me way down, way way down (Way down) Way way down deep (Way down deep) You've got me way down, way way down Way way down deep (Way down deep) You've got me way down, way down deep I wander with you in my sleep I'm way down, way way down Way way down deep [Verse 4] Don't matter if the road is long Don't matter if it's steep Don't matter if the moon goes out And darkness is complete Don't matter if we lose our way I know we're gonna meet I've got you in the glory place I've got to have it good [Chorus] You've got me way down, way way down (Way down) Way way down deep (Way down) You've got me way down, way way down (Way down) Way way down deep You've got me way down, way down deep I wander with you in my sleep I'm way down, way way down Way way down deep [Refrain] Way down, way way down Way way down deep Way down, way way down Way way down deep [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Way down, way way down Way way down deep You've got me way down, way way down Way way down deep You've got me way down, way down deep I wander with you in my sleep I'm way down, way way down Way way down deep [Outro] Oh, way down, way way down Way way down deep Way down, way way down Way way down
Beautiful version.... The first song I ever heard was " Last Years Men". Do you know why he never performed this on stage? Thank you , Alan. Still miss The Master. Blessed Be; Althea)0(
Hi Dr. H. Guy, how are you and your family and friends- well I trust, no Covid. No, I still can't listen to him for long periods of time- sounds like I need an appointment I know but I know he knows- I do listen to music he dug and Adam of course and I can enjoy, Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Leonard Cohen, again...and I am a Hotel, I know he wasn't keen on it and I know why, I think- but I'm a ballet, modern dance, Anne Ditchburn fan, so...I also love the short film by our National Film Board, music by The Stormy Clovers- about snow and love, of course! Hope you enjoy the season and 2023 is a wonderful year- must be very hard for you, having had the privilege to be a close friend- the morning I heard he passed I took my biography- the one by Sylvie Simmons and hid it- I nearly fainted, my husband caught me but as usual I reacted strangely and put the book, only that one- not Leonard's or his music- had only read about 20 pages- I still can't find it! I think Keith Richards' autobiog. is hiding it! Hugs, corny yes, but you made me laugh on so many occasions- All the Best. Namaste, alias Holly Golightly
Nice disclaimer at the end! Good work.
What an amazing speech and to give thanks to the all the men who had inspired him to write and to the guitar that gave sound to his words. How humbling to acknowledge them. My the Lord bless Leonard’s soul and to the men who had inspired him and to nature. Thank you Lord Jesus Christ, amen.
i remember him in the monteral days
G. Speech.
Wouaou! I learned many things looking at this video and may be i understand now why i like flamenco guitar as much as leonard cohen tremolos. As an amator guitar player, i found many of them simple compare to flamenco but the sound and the armonies are wonderfull. I saw Leonard Cohen with Anjani Thomas in the 80th at a punk festival. Very Bad sound, people shouting at him. He was not in the good place. I saw he sustained a few on us that knew his songs.
🙏🙏🙏

Wonderful! Have also liked this poem and hearing Leonard Cohen reciting it is a blessing
MERCI, Léonard, de nous avoir comblés tous de ton talent, ton sourire et surtout ton humour ! Nous, en retour, nous t'apportons notre 💘 AMOUR !!!
Génial !!!
MERCI BEAUCOUP !!! Léonard, tu restes intact dans nos 💕 💞
Merci...qu'elle simplicité cet homme ....généreux et reconnaissant !
Thank you so so much.!!!
She passed and he went to join her
This is an amazing, unforgettable speech! It has everything in it, an introduction, buildup, suspense, expectation and a dramatic twist in the end, very intelligent indeed!
Beautiful!❤
Mr Cohen isn't only a great singer but he's a n excellent orator as well. Talking so eloquenly in front of the Spanish royal family and the high dignitaries is simply amazing.
❤
So brilliant he lives on forever 🌹
Oh wow! Wow! ❤
