Leonard Cohen – Suzanne

The first Leonard Cohen song that I remember loving was Suzanne. And I still love it. Thank you for the poetry and the music, Leonard.

Roy Orbison – It’s Over

It’s been emotional.

Shirley Horn & Trio – Useless Landscape

This makes me want to sing jazz again. It’s been a while. Love a miserable, slow bossa nova.

Abbey Lincoln – If I Only Had a Brain

I love this version, and used to sing a version (much slower) inspired by this one. When you slow it down, it’s actually a proper tearjerker. Poor scarecrow.

Devendra Banhart – Fancy Man

Loved this song since I first heard it a couple of weeks ago. Makes me think of William Onyeabor and Marc Bolan amongst others. I find that songs at a walking pace are the most earwormy. This one’s a bit of a sashay.
