Скачать или смотреть Lisa Di Meglio's cover of Leonard Cohen's Suzanne

Suzanne was originally written by Cohen as the poem Suzanne Takes You Down in his 1966 book Parasites of Heaven, and the song was released on the 1967 album Songs of Leonard Cohen.
“Suzanne” was the dancer Suzanne Verdal, whose apartment by the Montreal harbor was frequented by Cohen, where they drank Constant Comment tea. They often toured Old Montreal, passing Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours, the church where seagoing sailors were traditionally blessed. Reportedly, Cohen and Verdal were not romantically involved, despite the lyrics’ implications.

Suzanne was first performed by The Stormy Clovers and recorded by Judy Collins, both in 1966, and later by Noel Harrison, whose version reached no. 56 (no. 38 in Canada) on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and it has been covered by many others since. Cohen released it as a single in 1968, but his own version only charted posthumously in 2016. It was performed in the film Leonard Cohen: I’m Your Man by Nick Cave.
