2016 has apparently been a good year to die. But it’s been a rough one for those of us who remain. Leonard Cohen‘s death on November 7 was not exactly a shock…he was no spring chicken. His loss saddened me greatly nonetheless.
As a quick tribute I recorded this song and posted it on FaceBook a few days later. It’s rough, but sincere. The choice of what song to record was a bit of a struggle for me. He’s written so many amazing ones, and everyone knows this Hallelujah song. It might have been advisable to record a lesser known song. At least I would have seemed cooler. But the words to Hallelujah are so very poignant and I feel them so deeply. I couldn’t see not recording it.
This version is very bare, only Chapman Stick and voice.
And my apologies for waiting so long before posting it here. Hope you enjoy it.
