What a voice! There's a certain plaintiveness to his singing in this song. But it's a remembrance of something past, and the fondness of the memory. I find it very moving.
Saw Teddy in Glasgow this year............amazing live act............ if you get the opportunity to see him live.......... don't miss it......... Thank you so much for this clip.......... it's oh so good !
Interesting cover, slowed down and sung with a tender voice. Not too much like Leonard Cohen's original but lovely to listen to. There's a lot of respect in this version. Thank you.
Definitely better than Cohens original. The original sounded almost like a filler song. Instead it’s a masterpiece of song poetry. Teddy really brings it out with his amazing voice.
His own songs tend to be sardonic and a bit snarky. And when Cohen did his song, he did it in a more jokey manner. So it is curious, but bloody lovely, hearing TT going full on voice-throbbing heart-felt in style. His singing is deceptive. It appears simple. But the amount of ornamentation and technique is wild, except...he knows that the point of those things is to use them to enrich a song, not to run over the song like a truck. Cohen said that his favourite cover of any of his songs was TT's version of this. I know people bang on about his father. Meh. I always found him over rated. His playing was too heavy, his songs just not much good. Now...his MOTHER...totally different story. She is a god damn goddess.
This cover has a haunting elegaic quality about it that surpasses even Cohen's great original version. Goosebumps every time I listen to it!
What an amazing cover. I can listen to this all night long
Like father like son. Great!!
Teddy does the best version of this song. Seriously listen to the covers on TH-cam, Teddy wins all.
R.I.P. Leonard Cohen. This song is one of my most treasured and Teddy Thompson does it justice!

Thank you for sharing this. It is rich and intimate from Teddy. Bless him.
I lovo so much Theddy and his voice many years I listen to his sooooo special voice he really is not mainstream, a special guy. Wehre are you today?
A truly beautiful song - great tenderness
Yes, something about Teddy and this song that match up so well. A beautiful thing.
Best cover of the song! Evocative without the slightest hint of sappiness. This solo version is even better than the recorded version.
An incredible version of a wonderful song!
Lovely song.

Leonard is smiling.
