Astounding!!!! There's also a great version of this song by the Klezmer Conservatory Orhestra (the Netsky one). Female voice.

Leonard Cohen's voice is just so rich and evocative here. I've been compulsively listening to it over and over.

myshkin2: I just listened to the song sample of the klezmer version on amazon. It just doesn't measure up to this standard. For one thing, the klezmer music turns it into a freylich; it robs it of all depth.
