Leonard Cohen's first biographer L.S. Dorman ('Leonard Cohen: Prophet of the Heart' 1990), recommended that I try this song at a slower tempo than the original. As a great admirer of the music and poetry of Leonard Cohen, it was a real pleasure to attempt this wonderful song.
This fits right into what I consider to be my genre and style: 'Contemporary-Retro'. I like to strip songs back to their bare essence by taking out all the backing music and extra sounds to just a naked clear voice and instrument, in this way I attempt to 'revibe' songs with a fresh approach.
A little more about me - my name is Nemo Shaw, and I am a 32 year old Scots-born Singer Songwriter.
I hope you enjoy my version of this song...
