this song really fits other lives. I love how Jesse and Jenny's voices sound together. Other lives is my favourite band, I have seen them in march and I have a shirt signed by Jesse, Jenny and Colby. I am in love with every sound they make.

Whaat a Leonard Cohen cover?? just fell more in love with you Other Lives. I was so blown away tonight. Thank you for that beautiful performance. Each band member is the type of musician who can pick up any instrument and instantly create magic and beauty. P.S. the Stag horn tambourine was awesome...

They're closing their 2012 tour with a cover of "The Partisan". Hallmark of a great band: take a formidable classic, unequaled for forty years and give it anOther life. In the original, the chorus, “Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing”, has a soft wistful feel: the fallen lay resting and there is nothing, safe the hope that “freedom soon will come”. In this version, the lyric is endowed with the energy of a rising storm that summons freedom here and now. Brilliant cover, brilliant band.

great cover of a song Leonard Cohen popularized in the late sixties but actually written in 1943 by Anna Marly and Emmanuel d'Astier de la Vigerie. Originally written in French, this version--the one LC recorded was adapted in English by Hy Zaret. Joan Baez did a cover to, changing the line "I took my gun and vanished" to "into the hills I vanished." This version is really lovely...all the instruments and vocals blend so well.

Decent cover, performed with all due respect to the original. Still, Cohen's version is far superior. In fact, none else will ever sing this song better than Leonard.

@johndavies4541 8 жыл бұрын

Not bad but the original is far superior (IMHO), even after all these years. This version is just to overwrought and messy. Although some of Cohens songs have been improved through covers ( Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah comes to mind ) this isn't one of them. I generally like this bands work but if they were genuinely interested in honouring Cohens vision of the song, at least go to the trouble and make the effort to learn the French lyrics ( considering what the song is about). But hey, I guess that's what separates a great artist from an average one.

@markm2878 7 жыл бұрын

This is a great song but Leonard Cohen did not write this song. The song was written in 1943 in London by Emmanuel d'Astier de la Vigerie and the music by Anna Marly.

@johndavies4541 7 жыл бұрын

Mark M You are absolutely right. Have been working on the guitar part and did a little research so I stand humbly corrected. That said, Cohens vision for the cover bares little resemblance to the original recording by Anna Marly (thank god he chose to drop the whistling!) and really stands as probably the best 'cover' of this song so far imho. I still think this is a messy, overwrought cover by a band that has produced some great, innovative music. However, seeing as Mr Cohen chose to drop most of the French from his version (a nice dramatic contrast) I guess I'll have to cut them some slack on that front.

@markm2878 7 жыл бұрын

Yes True Cohen's version is the best sounding and RIP to the great man, but it is good to see other bands carry on the memory/tradition. I also like the Joan Baez version, almost as much as Cohen's.

@johndavies4541 7 жыл бұрын

Mark M Yup I agree with you on that for sure. The Joan Baez version I'm familiar with has a faster tempo and she sings the French lyrics beautifully. I should also say almost all the covers I've listened to are better than my efforts! Interesting to note that where as the great man really transformed the original into what most of us think of as the definitive version, almost all subsequent artists seem to have created a cover from Cohens version. A testament to what made him so great I think. I did find another version with Jesse Tabish singing this solo on acoustic. Sounded fine I must say. Now if I could only get my fingers to play those damn triplets! Check out Bill Callahan's version of So Long Marianne. Not bad.

john davies you are blind and hardened to not see the beuty in all things created . they put thier heart into it. took the effort and the time to make it happen. to create the vibration to perform it. the least you could do is give posative energy to something so sad instead of giving an opinion that underates others efforts and creative output.
