This is the very song that brought me to playing guitar with my fingers. Brought back a lot of memories. Thanks for posting and the pure beautiful performence.
Dear Geranne. I am listening to everything you have posted. The purity of your voice is like delicate crystal, so transparent, so soothing. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent.
'Suzanne' 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 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 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 is wearing rags and feathers From Salvation Army counters And the sun pours down like honey On our lady of the harbour 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 you know that you can trust her For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.
Heavens to Betsy! You have covers to all of my dearest songs. You are a girl of great talent. I wish I had a friend with your music taste! Bless your heart
Fantastic! All we need now is a cover of the greatest songwriter of them all, although most people don’t realise he wrote ‘Love is just a four letter word’ which you sang beautifully a while back
The right voice for this song. You remind me of Judy Collins, who sang this in duet with Cohen, but it's just a feeling of attitude, not a copy of her voice. You must have understood the song as well as she did.
I love this song, but I cannot cope with those barre chords, I have been playing the guitar for three years. The pattern is not a problem for me, but the barre chords are. I learned a pattern where you need all four fingers for them, not just three. Can you help me, Geranne, please?❤
I have been playing this song for 50 years and I have got to say that’s as good a cover as I have ever heard . Beautiful!
Absolutely gorgeous! This is like an ice cold stream running through a sunmer glad surrounded by a cedar forest. Bravo
The truth îs I could not sing this song, it is so full of meaning and sensitivity,. I would burst into tears...
A sound so pure and so beautiful. Thank you for uploading this. Truly wonderful.
Si belle chanson de léonard Cohen !RIP
Leonard Cohen's poetry wrapped in silk!!
I think I’ll just use my guitar for firewood, amazing cover
Greats ...🎉 God Bless You!
beautiful voice!
Beautiful cover of this wonderful song. Excellent guitar an singing skills....

Brilliant, you've captured Leonard's haunting guitar sound, and made me hear the lyrics afresh,pick up new meaning

'Suzanne'
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 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 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 is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
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 you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.
Simply beautiful x

Beautifully done. On the original record I think Cohen stays on the sus 4 in the final bar, which gives it more of a sense of finishing.
Thankyou! Staying on the sus 4 would’ve been nicer indeed🙊😀
👏🏼 Nice!
Dankjewel!!😄
wow
We’ll sung and we’ll played Geranne.thank you
👌
