Leonard Cohen Cover
"Bring Back the Bards, Chelsea Hotel 2007" by lornagrl on Flickr
Alright, so this is sitting somewhere in my Tumblr queue to post sometime next week.
I’m going to post it here anyway, because I can’t edit it between now and then, and I’m okay with that – I recorded a cover of Leonard Cohen’s song, “Chelsea Hotel No. 2″ on my phone yesterday, while waiting on Kerry to get home so we could run some errands before skipping town for a couple days.
This is one of my favorite songs, has been for a long while. I’ve never really learned to play it until now, and I’m not really sure why.
This might be my favorite breakup song ever. Every bit as casually dismissive as Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright,” but with a sweetly remembered fondness for the subject that makes the dismissal all the more brutal. And human.
Enjoy.
