I’m blown away by the boldness of this choice. Olivia is an amazing talent, but here she’s shown great commitment to honoring songwriting and exposing a new audience to past genius.

Gorgeous. Wow.
When Nina Simone deconstructed this song, some voices said that she deserved the Nobel Prize for such audacity or daring thing. Olivia's version has knocked me out and I must confess that I'm still recovering myself for such audacity too! She has demonstrated again, the great talented young singer that she is. No debates here. What I've learned more from these two so brilliant singers is that, the sacred spark that lies within each of us is not owned or controlled by anyone else. It is not confined by someone else's definition. It does not ask for permission to create and make things better. Sonic diamonds are forever!
Incredible
👏👏👏👏👏
Wow.
She is the best
❤😊
Amazing track indeed, how l love the third generation enjoying grand parents most beloved songs, yeah, it's a very special emotion indeed, a generational legacy and a nice spiritual heritage, great performance congrats, let's dedicate it right away His Majesty King Charles, please be our partizan hero and resist, fighting back the cancer threat, the psychological strength is crucial😢😢😢😢
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half-crazy but that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her that you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer that you've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind
And then you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him
He said all men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them
But he himself was broken, long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him, and you want to travel blind
And then you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind
Now, Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river
She's wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor
And she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love and they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind
And then you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
😘💓
Amazing! Are the other 2 performances going to be published?
on the BBC iPlayer, you might need a VPN if you're not in the UK
God save the BBC!
Beautifully done, especially, also, the orchestration. I was surprised by the change of lyrics in the second refrain, but felt it kind of works, if intended. However, the repetition of those altered lyrics doesn't work in the third refrain; the preceding verse is talking about Suzanne, a woman, and Olivia repeats a refrain talking about a man (Jesus). ... Honoring the great poet / lyricist Leonard Cohen deserves attention to such details. But maybe it was a case of nerves.
If Cohen had in his imagination the way this song could be arranged and sung, his imagination has just become reality...
can u guys not be annoying and upload her dive already.
thanks. love olivia too much for it to not be avail xx
1 of my favourite Leonard Cohen songs.. Don't like this cover. Sorry I'm a traditionalist.
Try listening to Roberta Flack’s sublime rendition of this song…
@@pathenews Heard it..Can't beat the Original version. IMO
