Nick Cave in Leonard Cohen's song Suzanne

Suzanne takes you down to her place newer the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that shes half crazy
But thats why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from china
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That youve always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For youve touched her perfect body with your mind.

And jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said all men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe youll trust him
For hes touched your perfect body with his mind.

Now suzanne takes you hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From salvation army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While suzanne holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For shes touched your perfect body with her mind.

Nick has this rare ability to form his voice into different styles. I love his music and his voice.

I simply adore this version of ''Suzanne''. Nick Cave's voice is so beautiful and full of devotion to each song he performs. And this song is pure poetry, if you ask me, because each word demands to be felt more than heard or just read, and you need an artist to interpret, to understand and therefore to bring it to the audience in a right way.

Nick sings this song like he's in prayer in the church of Leonard Cohen.

I'm stunned by some of the comments here. I LOVE Cohen's version of Suzanne. I remember the first time I heard Cohen, and I fell in love with this song in particular. Singing this Nick isn't trying to compete with Cohen, and I would be almost 100% sure he didn't forget the words, he simply sang it his way, which I happen to think made it very beautiful. It was done as a tribute to a singer Nick has obviously admired for a long time. So why bitch and compare? Just enjoy.

I feel he's singing directly to me. What a gift he has. I love you Nicholas.

The treatment of the background vocals is unexpected and haunting — as though the echo anticipates the lead voice, or as though he’s being accompanied by the spirits of the water. The trick to the art of covering other people’s songs is to make them your own while honoring the vision of the original artist. Nick does that here beautifully.

What a combination! Nick Cave and the fabulous original Cohen singers keep Leonards song alive. Thanks.

True artistry is making the incredibly complex and subtly nuanced look simple and unadorned. Beautiful, Nick, just beautiful.

Made even more lovely by the fact that Nick Cave's wife's name is Susie.
