What is your favourite Leonard Cohen song and why?
I like in particular the song 'Famous Blue Raincoat'. The words are haunting, and the tune is catchy. It often seems to play over and over in my head after I have heard it. It is a song that can be done equally well by female artists as by male ones. For example, Tori Amos has put out a good rendition of it.
It is really hard to pick a favourite, because Leonard Cohen has written and recorded so many songs. However, a few other songs of his that I particularly like are "Everybody Knows', 'First We Take Manhattan', 'Tower of Song' and 'Anthem'.
