This is probably music blasphemy, but I like Leonard Cohen’s songs when they’re sung by someone other than Leonard Cohen. I know, it’s in the same category as disliking Bob Dylan or something, but I just can’t get into Cohen’s singing.
I can, however, get into this cover of “Everybody Knows.”
And everybody knows that you’re in trouble
Everybody knows what you’ve been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of Malibu
Everybody knows it’s coming apart
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
Before it blows
And everybody knows
