Exactly the same lines
And thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes,
I thought it was there for good.

Touched me deep

Some songs are so astonishing that you can’t harm them. They speak above and beyond anything you can say. Here’s to you, Mr. Cohen!

There's so much to learn from Leonard Cohen's perception of selfless love as well as Rabindranath Tagore. All the philosophers have made life so simple and found peace in pain.

I nearly burst into tears at the end of that. So haunting. A stunning piece by Leonard Cohen sang beautifully by Damien.

This song has so many layers..no matter how you approach it, it's almost impossible to fuck up. I've always felt it was the scariest song I ever heard. The indescribable feeling of knowing you've been betrayed by the one you love, the one who means more to you than anything, and somehow finding the grace of love in forgiveness and acceptance. It's a beautiful description of the glory and humiliation of this unfathomable human experience. Nicely done, sincere and with the reverence it' deserves.

When a poet becomes a song get some amazing songs. Bob Dylan once asked Cohen how long it took him to write a specific song, and Cohen was to embarrassed to say 4 years so he cut it in half and said 2 years. Dylan nodded thoughtfully, and replied ..."I thought so."

Very, very few artists can touch a Cohen song (for a few reasons, some too personal) but Damien gets "it" just my opinion-miss Leonard much

Cohen is writing about his own blue raincoat, he said so on numerous occasions. He never said, but either he is writing to himself, his own alter ego, or he was the one whgo shagged his friend's wife and lacking a letter of forgiveness from the friends, he is writing a letter of forgiveness to himself in his friend's place! But as if his friend did it to him, and he is doing the forgiving, as an exercise in futility cos you can't forgive yourself in place of a loved one, only in your own place.

It's a song shrouded in mystery, having never been explained by Cohen, beyond: it was actually my own coat I sang about. What it for sure isn't is a song that condones whoring around a calling that love.

There can be no long term love without an ample dose of forgiveness, but people who easily find excuses to lay with someone else while being in a relationship are weak and self-destructive and deserve 'punishment', a concept most of us will resort to when faced with being cheated on.

Totalmente d'accordo con Damien Rice, quando mette in evidenza la stupenda frase: "And thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes; I thought it was thee for good, so I never (really) tried". Fosse solo per questa meravigliosa confessione, Famous Blue Raincoat meriterebbe di essere considerata una canzone eccezionale. In ogni modo, la mia preferita in assoluto, specie interpretata da Damien Rice nel Tribute to Cohen a Montreal (novembre 2017) o dallo stesso Cohen a Monaco di Baviera, nel 1979. In entrambi i casi, bellissima voce, interpretazione perfetta, presenza scenica sobria e commovente, musicisti esperti che contribuiscono all'ambiente senza soffocare il testo, che cosa chiedere di più? GRAZIE.
