  • One of my all time favorite songs by Leonard Cohen. The lyrics and the melody are haunting and always take me into another place and time.

    best cover artist on youtube imo. guitar playing and vocals are both always perfect, and I'm not sure everyone understands the work it takes to get this good.

      What a beautiful melody, Just ole Don here from Hamilton NZ on my Wife's tablet-SUSAN, an' Iv'e been a guitarist for a long time (semi/professionally) it takes sooo much, just as you said But WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SONG, Honestly, just hauntingly beautiful, SOME guitarists like the ancient Trubidors tell stories in Their Songs, just like you did, Many Thanks 😢😢😢

      He is much more than a cover artist. Check his new album with his brother : Dandelion Breeze, it is very very good !

    What a song and a great rendition of it.
    Suzanne takes me back…..to high school literature class in the early 1970’s. Evidently our teacher liked Leonard Cohen (and Rod McKuen), or that was maybe about as edgy and contemporary as a high school lit/English teacher in a small town could get back then.

    I met Judy Collins backstage in Seattle over 50 years ago, thanks to my ex mother-in-law, who knew a childhood friend of Judy's. I was literally speechless and simultaneously spellbound by her beautiful blue eyes. But what I really wanted to ask her was how to play the guitar accompaniment to 'Suzanne.' I am always mesmerized by the guitar work in her recording of that song --- and there are 2 or 3 guitars, not just one. You've deciphered the main guitar backing for 'Suzanne' pretty well, George. This is really excellent, and love your singing, too. Thanks so much. Looking forward to hearing the CD you and brother made.

    Suzanne is my favourite Leonard Cohen song, and I love that song even more when it's sung by someone else. So now my favourite covers are Nina Simone's and yours. Beautifully crafted. Well done!
    It's my go to song to sing when I grab my guitar and am not sure what to play, even if I know I don't do it justice, I feel it talks directly to my soul.

    I like this the best of all versions I have ever heard. Something about the vocal. It did not strike me as droning which was always my reaction to this song in the past which made it very hard for me to listen to. This was lovely and finally I could "hear" it. Thanks.

    Extremely talented and an interesting version of the song. I just wonder why today's singers don't seem to have the testosterone in the voice like generations before. Maybe it was all the cigarettes?

  • @kenthebean6619

    Thanks George. Another winner. That must be a very difficult pick you're playing and it makes an unusual arrangement of this rather boring Cohen song..like most of his! Lol
