Shameless; shameless self promotion.

A little video of me re-working a Leonard Cohen classic.
Interested in hearing all kinds of positive, a no negative feedback
(J/k negative feedback is also welcome.)

Enjoyed that (no criticism - not a guitar player apart from basic chords). Do you know the one that starts Like a Bird on a Wire? Friend of mine had an LP of his in the 60s and we used to listen to that one over and over again.

A lot of Cohen's songs has similar chord progressions.

Yes, so did the late 50s early 60s stuff - 1,4,5 and back to 1 again (tonic, subdominant, dominant, tonic).

I've heard him in n interview, saying that it was 50's and 60's pop music that inspired him.
Although he obviously added his poetic touches, and slowed everything down.
That's why most of his songs have female back-up singers. They are his versions of Doo-Wopp singers.
