  • I love this song. I played it this week at a memorial for a man who had learned it as his first song on guitar, which means playing it over and over again and I thought "what a perfect choice!" It has a simple chord structure so it wouldn't be too hard to get your head around and the melody is just lovely, it comes in waves, each phrase is so poetic, it's wonderful to sing.
    The memorial was beautiful and while I didn't know John, he was clearly beloved by many and he was a true music lover. It was my honour to sing this song for him.

    I always thought Judy Collins' cover was the best, now I know it isn't. Thank you.

    Very nice, and truly a stunningly beautiful song. My two favorite versions, which are recommended to all, are by Fairport Convention and (yes, really) Spanky and Our Gang. I love the double tracking of your vocal.

      Spanky and our Gang - that's a really wild arrangement they did, pretty cool!

      @@TaraDunphy Glad you liked it. And Fairport had perhaps my favorite vocalist of all time--Sandy Denny. Check out their version of Dylan's I'll Keep It With Mine for supporting evidence.

    Beautiful performance Tara. I was looking at some of your videos and noticed we have the same taste in music. I play many of the same songs on my channel. I loved your cover of Suzanne. One of Cohen's best. Bravo 👏👏🎸🎸❤❤

      Tara, I was so delighted to find you had posted this. Particularly since you told me that you had never picked it up before John's service. You have done it beautifully! (As for moi, I'm still struggling with that off beat rhythm that Leonard used. I'm determined to get it, though! I know that I speak for Karen, when I say that added immeasurably to the service.
      Thank you

      Barry, it was so lovely meeting you and sharing our brief chat about music. I commend you for even attempting to figure out that rhythm, I don't think I could get my head around it! It was truly my honour to be a part of John's service and this song is a gift, I'll play it forever.
