Leonard Cohen - Everybody Knows

 

Alright guys, to wrap up the Canadian Week I have this literary giant of whom Canadians can’t be proud enough, he is a singer, songwriter, musician, poet, novelist , he is Leonard Cohen. He has been inducted into Canadian Music Hall of Fame and Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame and not to mention he is also a member of the American Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The song that I’m recommending is “Everybody Knows” from his album “I’m Your Man” released in 1988, many people have covered this song and everything that can be said has been said about this song, I don’t think I can add anything just that for me the biggest pull towards this song was his baritone voice and strong lyrics, if you can open up the lyrics in another browser and listen to the song with the lyrics, you’ll love it.
