GUEST SPOT #59 - Other Lives - 'The Partisan'
Cover Me Guest Spot Leonard Cohen Natcwilson Other LivesThis weeks Guest Spot has been kindly submitted by natcwilson which features the excellent Other Lives covering the wonderful Leonard Cohen
Other Lives - The Partisan
I saw Other Lives last summer at Village Underground in Shoreditch (awesome venue).
They played this cover of Leonard Cohen's The Partisan and I think it could be my favourite ever cover. Their style is perfect for covering Cohen tracks, and dare I say (please don't hate me) I think it's better than the original. Unfortunately I couldn't find a video from the night, but this is close enough.
I also have to admit I felt pretty cool and hip being the only person in the crowd who recognised the song and sang along. That's quite sad isn't it.
Anyway, enjoy! :)
