Ceolskog - Seemed the Better Way (Doom Folk Metal; Leonard Cohen Cover)

- This is a folk doom metal cover of "It Seemed the Better Way", a song from "You Want It Darker", which is the fourteenth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen. (The album was created at the end of his life and focuses on death, God, and humor). It will be included on my Leonard Cohen tribute album, "Ring the Bells That Still Can Ring". I hope the video suits the mood of the song.
Lyrics:
Seemed the better way
When first I heard him speak
Now it's much too late
To turn the other cheek
Sounded like the truth
Seemed the better way
Sounded like the truth
But it's not the truth today
I wonder what it was
I wonder what it meant
First he touched on love
Then he touched on death
Sounded like the truth
Seemed the better way
Sounded like the truth
But it's not the truth today
I better hold my tongue
I better take my place
Lift this glass of blood
Try to say the grace
Seemed the better way
When first I heard him speak
But now it's much too late
To turn the other cheek
Sounded like the truth
Seemed the better way
Sounded like the truth
But it's not the truth today
I better hold my tongue
I better take my place
Lift this glass of blood
Try to say the grace
I'm a singer, songwriter and guitarist from Hamilton, New Zealand. My videos are a mix of music, and hiking the outdoors. Ceolskog is my folk metal / heavy metal / country rock (and some other genres) band. It is also the name given to this hiking and nature-themed RUclips channel. Ceol means music in Irish, and skog means forest Norwegian and Swedish. I don't have a Patreon, but if you're a regular viewer, and you want to support me some way, you can find my music on Spotify, Bandcamp, iTunes, Soundcloud, Amazon, and RUclips too (of course).
