Leonard Cohen
Posted by fcojavim under Advanced students, Songs
There are certain songs that the moment you hear them somewhere for the first time, they make such an impact on you that you have to find out about the singer immediately and they make you go to the nearest music store to buy the record. I say ‘record’ because the first time I heard Suzanne on the radio, there were no CDs yet, so I grabbed some money and I bought my first Leonard Cohen LP album, The Best of Leonard Cohen , which was released in 1975, but I bought it when I was a senior in high school in 1983. As it often happens when you’re a teenager, all the songs in that album were a discovery for me and there was something in most of the lyrics that I actually felt and understood at an emotional level.
