Famous Blue Raincoat (Leonard Cohen Cover)

I owed Michael Hermiston this song cover. It's one of the first few songs I learned many, many years ago: coming back to it after all these years.

[@EricRoss57]

Over 45 years on and I never tire of this song, or any of Cohen's songs for that matter. Your rendition is for me the most enjoyable of the covers that I've heard up to now. Lovely! Thank you for sharing it!

[@SharamGill]

@@EricRoss57 Yes. His songs are works of art. I can still find something new for me in his songs. Thanks for visiting, Eric, and for your comments.🙂🎶

[@lunagaiaspath5069]

Ahhhh....One of my fave's and you deliver this beautifully Sharam. I too covered this one a few years ago. I never tire of the lyrics!! So good to hear from you again and see you performing. I'm sure your son is quite the young man now!! How the years fly by..My very best wishes to you and your family my friend......Ali

[@SharamGill]

It is an intriguing song, isn’t it. You’re right about the years flying past. Khushman’s now in his teens, with its many challenges. Kamal and I have been working - I’ve been teaching. It brings the money in but we dream about spending more time in India - we would love to buy a little house there. Anyway, lovely to be in touch with you again. Our best wishes to you and yours.🙂🎶

[@lunagaiaspath5069]

Oh wow Sharam!! I can hardly believe Khushman's in his teens..Certainly very challenging years!! Your dream sounds idyllic. I still long for the opportunity to see India before I leave this mortal coil. I have had a very tough 12 months with much ill health , but art keeps me sane! We have to make the most of our days my friend..Yes, lovely being in touch. I still love to listen to your beautiful CD you sent me..Your music always touches my soul..Please send my best to the family:)@@SharamGill

[@SharamGill]

Hi, Lorraine. I hadn’t played my guitar for about 2 years. I thought I’d moved on but I suppose it’s too much a part of me. I suppose that’s lucky. It’s lovely to hear from you. Wishing you a great day.🙂🎶

I love so much this song. Great performance my friend. Bravo Sharam. Big Like 16 👍

[@SharamGill]

Hi, Joseph. Thanks for being in touch. I thought I’d given up singing but I suppose people like us just can’t stop. So pleased you enjoyed enjoyed the video. 🙂🎶

[@zepp2498]

I sing and share songs, not thinking too much about who ( and how many) will come to listen. I do it to share mostly old songs, that bring me back to a periode of my life...that I miss: so it's kind od a therapy. And if a few enjoy my modest covers, it's even better.

[@bearron]

Nice one Sharam.

[@SharamGill]

Hi, Rob. I’m making a comeback. Lovely to hear from you. 🙂🎶
