A track I wrote which I would love Leonard so sing

Apologies, I previously put this message in the incorrect forum.

Dear reader,

I wrote a track last night which I feel should be categorised as unashamedly Cohenesque (if only in attempt) and so thought some here may enjoy to either listen or better still, critic. I do not think I have shared my music with you before though I have long used this wonderful forum as a place to keep up to date with and find all things Cohen.

As an artist I do try not to imitate but sometimes I find if I fall asleep to a song I may then not escape it for days and I think this may have happened here. If memory serves me well I drifted off to 'In my secret life' the night before this recording session.

I hope you enjoy.

Here it is, 'The John Wayne song' by yours truly.

Many thanks

Nick

oh dear... I was going to listen, but got this message:

Sorry about that.

I see a separation in your link... and its tail doesn't come along when you click on it.
Maybe that's the issue, but I don't know if there are other characters missing in that 'middle' portion, so will wait for you to correct it.

Thanks.

I could imagine Leonard singing this.

I enjoyed it, I found it soothing.

This is what I wrote there, Nick [except I made a typo and left out the second i on reminiscent. I like your lyrics:

Oh, I like this very much, Mark!!!

With your progressions, reminiscent of Hallelujah in its sound.

Love all your references in your lyrics.

Well done!

Off to bed now... and thanks for sharing this with us!

What stood out most for me was your singing...there's an attractive vulnerability and frailty to it....was reminded of Jeff Buckley. This came across in your other song on youtube too, 'in this house'.
