So long, Marianne - Leonard Cohen (1968)

This song lives on and I enjoy it anew every time. Leonard's words still sound fresh, eg. she held on to me like I was a crucifix. I like the way the girls help with that haunting chorus, it was the first thing I looked forward to hearing again. I remember the first time I was shown LC's music. I was staying with some hippy couple back in 1970. in a farm they were renting, They had all LC's albums and I sat up late listening to them while they next door made, ahem... funny noises. It was the sort of thing Cohen wrote about. One day I bought one of his books, forget which, but my gf at the time read it all in one long sleepless night.
