This is poetry in motion...
"I've heard of a man who says words so beautifully that if only he speaks their name, women give themselves to him. If I am dumb beside your body while tumors blossom on our lips, it is because I hear a man climb the stairs and clear his throat outside our door."

Wow! that was amazing. I am on a Leonard Cohen kick. Loved him since I first heard "Suzanne" So is Tori Amos her own songwriter/singer? I really have just now seen her for the first time. She seems so right for the time and for the song. Stargazer my hat's off to you for putting this video together. Thank You

Hi, same here, I have been a Cohenite since I heard another boy scout sing Suzanne around our campfire in Germany in 1968. I have only heard Tori Amos once before when she sang on a Tribute album to Cohen. Others on the album were Sting, Peter Gabriel, Willie Nelson, Bono and many more. Stay in touch.

Compare this clip ... ( 4 months ago by greg5566)

Compare this clip to the actual video. It shows the difference between a brilliant visual expression of the song, and shallow garbage. (Can you tell which is which?) There's nothing more facile than matching lyrics literally to images. A "dead body" "saved" by the garbage truck? Give me a break. I don't think you understand the song. (cont'd)

And I love the ... ( 4 months ago by greg5566)

And I love the offensive juxtaposition of Cohen speaking about a man who's just so hot women throw themselves at him, with Tori singing about the deep, sad loneliness of a woman who has things to say but is afraid to, and the men who treat her badly. Really brilliant.
