If there is anything we will probably remember most about 2016 is that it has been, by far, a topsy turvy one to say the least. Keeping away from all the politics and crazy wars, on a music front we have seen some of the most inspirational artist’s for generations come to an end of their lives, from Bowie to Prince, Motorhead’s Lemmy and more recently Leonard Cohen. And so while we are generally a happy-go-lucky kinda team, we thought we best kickoff the first playlist dedicated to Leonard Cohen himself. The list of songs can be found below and are a selection of our favorite songs either sang by himself or covered:
Famous blue raincoat – L. Cohen
Suzanne – Fairport Convention
Chelsea hotel #2 – L. Cohen
Sisters of Mercy – L. Cohen
Hallelujah – Jeff Buckley
Lady midnight – L. Cohen
Bird on a wire – Fairport Convention
So long, Marianne- L. Cohen
Take this longing – L. Cohen
Hope – R.E.M (not a Cohen song, but was credited as it was very similar to Suzanne, inspiration!)
The Butcher – L. Cohen
Remember you can listen to the songs by clicking the small speaker on the top right hand corner next to the cart and account sign in, hope you enjoy…
