I am new to this forum so hello my name is thadius.
I have come here to share something which could be of interest to one or two people. I was at a gig a couple of months ago watching a friends band. The band on after them were called audioreader. They were pretty interesting, though largely uninspiring. Anyway midway through they played a version of everybody knows that i thought was really good. I signed up for their mailing list and then forgot about them until a couple of days ago when i received an e-mail from them and i decided to have a look on their site. when i did i found this version of everybody knows as an mp3. this time it really blew me away. I played it over and over and thought it is really beautiful. Unfortunately there other songs are all quite different and nowhere near as good.
Everybody knows is a strange song, it seems from the lyrics that it's very intense despite the humour in it. I always thought the song seemed darker than it ever came across when Leonard sung it. Anyway this band have really captured something in the song i really recomend a listen to anyone interested. I wanted to share it with someone and wasn't sure who with, and as the chances of this band ever releasing it or anything are probably none, i thought that if anyone might be interested it will probably be leonard fans.
Their website is a little confusing but if you go to the music section then latest music at the top window that opens you should find the song. THe website is http://www.audioreader.co.uk
PLease let me know by e-mail or on the messege board what you think, i'd be very interested.

hi! i look for spanish version of suzanne.if anybody knows about please give me notice.i am interested in text translation on spanish also.thanks.patrycja

Patrycja,

I checked it out for you, and I believe there is a Spanish cover version of "Suzanne".
I found the information on The Leonard Cohen Files ( http://www.leonardcohenfiles.com/ )

This is what I found:
Jordi "Toti" Soler made an album called "Liebeslied" in 1972, which is in Catalonian and released in Spain in 72.
Later he made "Cancons", released in Spain in 2000

Take a look at:
http://www.leonardcohenfiles.com/covlist.html and

for all the information.

I can't find more information on the internet, but I don't speak Spanish, so perhaps you will be able to locate the album...


Good luck and welcome to the forum,
Maarten

Thad,
The version of "Everybody knows" is indeed very nice! I really, really like it!

i'd forgot about writing this untill the song came on my playlist tonight. It is good isn't it!.... well i'm glad at least one person got to listen to it!

Yeah, I like it - still prefer the original though

Hi Thad,

I haven't listend to it as yet, but I will now. See what happens when you post a link and say a few words about a LC song? A bunch of people listen and give their 2bits worth. Thanks.

Linda.

And, of course, welcome to the Forum!!
