Oh my gosh, it has to be Alexandra Leaving.
I put that on my itouch and have played it
about 100x. First song I ever heard with
my name - haunting, very moving.

Hey, that's no way to say goodbye - it's the one that got me into LC, having heard it played by Johnny Walker on Radio 2. I was always aware of him, but not really a fan till then. Now, I totally understand how the other members of this Forum feel. Can't think how I managed to miss out for so long and am now spending £££s and time catching up.

Re: Whats your favourite Leonard Cohen's song?
I love all the songs from Leonard. It is difficult to answer that song is my favorite, I would rather say that I listen to depending on how I feel. So, this week I hear the following:
Anthem
Dance Me To The End Of Love
Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye
So Long, Marianne
Everybody Knows
Take This Waltz

One of the most difficult questions I've ever been asked.
I'll have to go with 'Came So Far For Beauty.'

Who By Fire is probably my all-time favourite. The feeling of the song, the melody (this one especially), the performance, the lyrics.. PERFECT!
And I'm so happy that Leonard's been doing the song this tour, since I'm going to the Helsinki show

Dance Me To The End Of Love is one of my favourite songs. When I heard it, I wanted to play this song on my wedding.

Re: Whats your favourite Leonard Cohen's song?
what i'm listening to most right now are 3 lyrically diferent versions of ' feel so good' , recorded st recent concerts
thats mainly because it seems to be helping with some issues i have in my personal life at the moment . i think that for many of us leonards songs have this characteristic of being in many ways therapeutic at times of difficulty

Leonard's work resonates

Re: Whats your favourite Leonard Cohen's song?
I enjoy a lot of Cohen's songs, he's got a deep catalog.
I love The Partisan, I realize it's not technically an original Leonard Cohen song, but his version is excellent.
If that doesn't count I really like Tower of Song.
