" Different sides" NEW SONG ?

Post by drsing »

" Cohen, who is known to take years to craft a new song, has just finished writing a tune called "Different Sides," his musical collaborator, Sharon Robinson, told Reuters at the Grammy event."


I have heard about three new songs Feels So Good, The Darkness, Lullaby.
Any information about the above mentioned "Different Sides"?

Could the new album maybe coincide with the rescheduled dates? LC doesn't strike me as the sort of man who would just sit around doing nothing, even if he is recovering from a "minor sports injury", and now he has 7 months on his hands with no Tour to distract him, and several songs already written, perhaps there will be a bit of development on that front? :)

The bbc news website , at the end of a short piece about the tour postponement, quotes sharon robinson as saying leonard , in collaboration with her (implied) has just finished a new song called 'different sides'

I'd also like to think that the break from touring might bring forward a new album. Leonard , i'm sure will seek to transform any negative aspects of the current situation into something positive and nourishing
Leonard's work resonates

When I heard this title I tried to think what it reminded me of. Then I realised, 'Both Sides Now' written by Joni Mitchell and then recorded by Judy Collins as well!! Almost family.

Just bursting to hear his new songs when they are released, it's almost unbearable waiting.
