Top Comments of this video!! :3
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.

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.

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.

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