- Brilliant version of Leonard Cohen's 'Famous Blue Raincoat'
I can't stop listening to Glen's version of this wonderful Leonard Cohen song, which now vies with Damien Rice's cover as the most beautiful version of this song

I do tend to run to Cohen's music when life gets a bit tough............ It helps.
I swear I read "when wife gets a bit tough" and I burst into laughter.
Same. I also get revisit him around autumns too.
He brings great dignity to the ordinary human condition.
Sameeee:))))
@@g1g2g3g4g5gt It's probably a better reason....... just need a wife now....
I can see that Pauldavid.
Glen does this masterpiece justice.
Leonard's words in Glen Hansard's voice - Music in all its sincerity.
Pro trick : you can watch movies on flixzone. Been using it for watching a lot of movies lately.
@Zane Lachlan Yea, been watching on Flixzone} for years myself :D
No one does it better than Glen and Damien Rice
Cohen's famous blue raincoat is always spectecular, with every kind of voice.
Oh yes, Joan Baez, Tori Amos, Glen Hansard...
I'm passionate of Leonard Cohen...that's one of the best cover I've seen...especially because so close to the original tones and rhythm... Great performance ..
have you listened to Eivør version?
holy cow, my favorite bard singing my favorite Cohen... Whoa!
I love this song, Glen has made it his own.
Makes more sense to hear this song sung by someone else. Some people close to Cohen said that he wrote this song to his younger self. Cohen had a blue raincoat, torn at the shoulder. Cohen flirted for a while with Scientology, begging the question from the singer, "Did you ever go clear?"
Cohen and Hansard together, make magic
It's four in the morning, the end of December
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening
I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?
Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You'd been to the station to meet every train, and
You came home without Lili Marlene
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobody's wife
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well, I see Jane's awake
She sends her regards
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I'm glad you stood in my way
If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
Well, your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
L. Cohen / A Friend (Later in life, Cohen switched the lyrics to "A Friend")
masterful, he inhabits the song...he must really have spent some years with Cohen's music.
this song is beautiful
Yok mu hiç bu mükemmel videonun güzelliğinin farkında olan bir Türk
Olmaz mı

Beautiful! Has anyone heard Jennifer Warnes version? I love it as well.
Thank you.
Thank you 10deadgoldfish, Glen Hansard and Leonard Cohen.
yvovro you made me giggle hahah
Dolcissima esecuzione. Bravo
Though I am Not a fan of Any covers of Cohen’s Epic poetry and delivery of his songs-
Here I make an exception
As a Jewish Israeli who Knows her history. I may Not agree with Hansard’s politics..(!!)
But his cover here is Beyond Beautiful
If you haven't heard "Aurora" performance of Leonard Cohen famous blue raincoat check her out. One if not the best versions of this classic time piece. Much love ❤
אין כמו אימא בעולם!!!!!!!!!!
Una bella e delicata interpretazione di un brano magnifico - e complesso
Felice di vedere un commento in italiano
Brilliant version!
אין כמו אימא בעולם!!!!!!!!!
Amazing version!!
Best cover I've heard
Check out his cover of who by fire of Leonard Cohen

Rice's is still infinitely better, full of far more emotion and soul.
i just feel like the song sounds better in American accent.
What do you mean? They're both irish.
rice is better but i think conor o'brien from villagers is the best in this one
It's just that Damien has a more soulful voice than Glen, who has a more powerful voice than Damien. Glen would make a better rendition on a James Brown cover. They are both tremendously talented their own way.
Two men enter, one man leaves.
I thought it was there for good... ....did ya ever go clear.....seriously Glen that was a bit special. I have much meaning to that song and you renewed it. Thanks.
what's the pure soul
I wish I could play guitar like that...
You could by now if you started when you posted this comment
Gorgeous! Does anyone know if this is on any of Glen’s albums? I’ve looked but no luck so far.
I thought he was going to say “sincerely, G. Hansard" at the end of the song
right to the south node
Ive yet to hear a version i like other than LC
Listen it over and over through the years and sometimes I catch myself Glen sings this song even better then Cohen. I absolutely love Cohen but this particular song performance is amazing
How good is Santa on the guitar!
marissa nadler version worth a listen too
Best cover of this song ever ,even better than what I can do it
the photo mosh pit?
this one is allmost better!
My favorite is Tori Amos's. I prefer it when artists do a song in their own style.
Spendid cover
Love Glen Hansard, but, he jus5 doesn't do this song as well as Damien did. Love all his other stuff.
Great cover , but the best performance of this song still belongs Damien Rice.
My thought exactly. Rice owns this one, K.D. Lang owns Hallelujah.
Which is the worst?
Tori Amos does an incredible cover of this.
great but blew the last line
No match for Cohen's voice . But nice all the same
is a good copy...
its called cover, mate
I don’t like l Cohen covers. Other bands ok but not Cohen. He is unique. 😐 sorry
i want to vommit
