I was wrapped around Led Zeppelin, Zappa, Beefheart... how on earth could LC fit in with that? (I should have made that point in my post.) My psychedelic soaked brain happened to grasp the beauty of his lyrics, even if I thought his music sucked royally. Like you, it's only been recently that I've learned to appreciate his song writing skills. <BR/><BR/>Also not a fan of "Suzanne", I sang it for my supper a few times until I really hated it.<BR/><BR/>============================<BR/>Love to read everyone's comments!Sudeaux Luxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083310421645018042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414689.post-1144251568397087862006-04-05T11:39:00.000-04:002006-04-05T11:39:00.000-04:00i had a creative writing professor in college who ...i had a creative writing professor in college who used to get all engorged over any kind of writing that juxtaposed the sacred and profane by combining sexual themes with religious imagery. seriously. all you had to do was write blunt and matter-of-fact sex scenes and make sure that there was at least a cross or a virgin mary painting somewhere in there and you'd be guaranteed an "a". i guess that lends an artifical air of "deep" to almost anything, even if the writer didn't intend it.<BR/><BR/>anyway, this guy was a huge leonard cohen fan - i remember he brought in a record player and forced everyone to listen to his recording of "suzanne" and essentially declared in front of a classful of freshmen that <B>this</B> was poetry. well, since most of the kids in the class were trying to get an "a" as well, they thought that the best way to do that was to emulate what the professor considered to be "good", so seeing a bunch of teenagers getting up in front of the class and reading their fake leonard cohen poems was very amusing...<BR/><BR/>it was probably because of that experience - that and the fact that i was heavily into punk rock, no wave and experimental music when i was introduced to him - i've never really been that big a fan of leonard cohen's. i don't think i ever really appreciated just how incredible was until hearing jeff buckley's cover of it. it never fails to give me a chill.<BR/><BR/>i've since grown to appreciate a lot of cohen's stuff, especially after his voice started to get all gravelly like tom waits'. but i still can't listen to "suzanne" with a straight face.arratikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561726918594125792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414689.post-1144179864851160442006-04-04T15:44:00.000-04:002006-04-04T15:44:00.000-04:00I'll admit that this is one of my all time favorit...I'll admit that this is one of my all time favorite songs. I knew the original from my youth and really grew to love the Jeff Buckley version in my angstful early 20s. :) Now, to have it pop up in places like the Shrek soundtrack - well, I guess it really just trancends, doesn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
