Lianne La Havas - Hey That's No Way to Say Goodbye (cover)

I can't say Leonard Cohen is local for me, when I still resist enforced bilingualism,
but I've never done one of his tunes, and am always surprised when other musicians do.
I know, I know, this might be me being left behind...
or maybe he's become the new Bob Dylan, someone other people use not only for their songs,
but thinking they're doing a better job singing them or playing them. I'm not sure.
This sounds a little like "Suzanne"... and yes, I'd rather listen to you than Leonard himself.

I don't know if you could call it a world-weariness, or getting a little angry with it, as Leonard Cohan can,
but if you were doing one of my songs I'd be saying the arrangement could be getting more intense.
