Don't shoot me down on this, (I'm only 21) But I've just gotten into Cohen and I was wondering peoples opinions?

I think he's actually, sublime

:lol: (He's great as Spock.)
He is ok in a dry gravelled voice way
They make a little go along way.. very Minimal but Fundamental.

Just looked this up strange what you can find there is a short film Starring: Quentin Tarantino, Sylvia Binsfeld, Nick Rafter, Laura Bradley, Marc Anthony Reynolds made for this song :wink: .

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
And dance me to the end of love
Yeah, dance me to the end of love

Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
And dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Now I wonder if Neil and Chris could rework this song.

His song "First We Take Manhattan" is SO PSB-esque!:

His early stuff is great... but 'm sorry to say that his more recent efforts sound quite poor... to my ears anyway :)
