Janileigh Cohen - Abandoned Love (Bob Dylan Cover)

[@pendoring282]

Everybody's wearing a disguise. To hide what they've got left behind their eyes!! Bob you genius!

[@timveglas]

I come back to this video all the time, it's seriously the best rendition of this song and one of my favorite covers on youtube, never give up on your music.

[@brianbrewer6919]

Completely agree.

[@JanileighCohen]

This is so lovely to read !! Dylan is the master, thank you xxx

@@JanileighCohen this cover is amazing!. Regards from Argentina

[@thomasrevere7916]

@@JanileighCohen No offense to Dylan, I love him too, but you kind of one up'd him on with this.

[@kennyshortcake999]

Wow 🎉 A brilliant Dylan song.

[@pharb69]

This is such a beautiful rendition. We need more Bob Dylan covers! 😊😊

[@ksb994]

“Everybody is wearing a disguise…wherever children go, I’ll follow them.” Wow, that verse continues after all these years to blow my mind. And in this rendition, delivered with such profound authenticity.

[@TheSanfranben]

Beautiful singing, great guitar picking and harmonica. Dylan would be proud!

[@stephenlee1756]

Gave me the chills even more than the first time I heard the man himself sing it. Just the right pause (and no guitar) on the line "I love you but you're strange".

[@tyandtwenty]

Totally. That delivery made my whole spine tingle.

[@robinnicholas7867]

One of the best covers of a Dylan song with picture perfect framing of illuminated lyrics

[@shuddupeyaface]

Anybody who has ever loved, really and truly and deeply loved, this is a tune x

[@lucamarcelli8828]

Heaven is a place on earth where you listen to this cover forever

[@JanileighCohen]

Beautiful words thank you 🙏

[@thomasrevere7916]

I can't stop listening to this. It's absolutely beautiful.

[@nayanika9277]

I can see the turning of the key I've been deceived by the clown inside of me I thought that he was righteous but he's vain Oh, something's a-telling me I wear the ball and chain My patron saint is a-fighting with a ghost He's always off somewhere when I need him most The Spanish moon is rising on the hill But my heart is a-tellin' me I love you still I come back to the town from the flaming moon I see you in the streets, I begin to swoon I love to see you dress before the mirror Won't you let me in your room one time before I finally disappear? Everybody's wearing a disguise To hide what they've got left behind their eyes But me, I can't cover what I am Wherever the children go I'll follow them I march in the parade of liberty But as long as I love you I'm not free How long must I suffer such abuse? Won't you let me see your smile before I turn you loose? I've given up the game, I've got to leave The pot of gold is only make-believe The treasure can't be found by men who search Whose gods are dead and whose queens are in the church We sat in an empty theater and we kissed I asked ya please to cross me off your list My head tells me it's time to make a change But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange So one more time at midnight, near the wall Take off your heavy make-up and your shawl Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit? Let me feel your love one more time before I abandon it

[@TheLastWalenta]

Wow. Standing applause. Keep going. You deserve all the travel and all the acclaim. Love it.

[@iwal1645]

Wow i love your version of this Bob Dylan classic. Amazing work. Thank you.

[@spirit-rockmusic6651]

Nice cover! Happy to see this gem of a song getting some attention, as Dylan abandoned it ... Captivating lyrics. Maybe not only about a failed relationship ... Resonates with me on a level of the soul. Could hint at the soul trying to break free from the ego, but something is holding her back. Some lines seem to extend well beyond a personal relationship ...

[@brettc1343]

Anyone who decides to cover this song is special just for that, and honey you knock it out of the park. 💯 Big ups to you for real 🥂

[@Srieire]

Such an interesting choice of Dylan song, and you really made it your own. Dylan songs are hard, partly because he's such a great song writer that it is easy to either butcher them, or just copy his version. Best Dylan versions are where you feel that the performer owns, or could have written the song. This is one of those versions. Fair play and kudos from Ireland.

[@salmontunaicecream]

One of the best reviews I came across

[@davidmckenzie6939]

Beautiful rendition of this amazing song - many thanks!!!

[@tyandtwenty]

Absolutely Amazing. Wow. One of the greatest of Dylan’s catalogue and a personal favorite. You brought me to tears...and then immediately back to joy as you delivered...”I love you, but you’re strange” with that sly grin. Thank you for this beautiful rendition. It’s perfect.

[@charlesscavone7745]

Best version of this song I’ve ever heard! Well done!

[@leedrury6372]

One of my favourite Dylan songs. Not very often I here a cover that I like, but jeez that was AMAZING. As good as it gets.

[@paulhammer1363]

Great cover of a remarkable song. I read that Dylan left this song on the cutting room floor of the Desire sessions (or was it Blood On The Tracks).

[@j.cordellsteinmetz9219]

That was so beautiful. Thank you.

[@marcusu6559]

what a pure voice you have, very very nicely done

[@비정한세상]

[@disappearlikethemorning8220]

Can't stop listening. Incredible cover!

[@JedBrad55]

Call myself a Dylan fan and only just find this song thanks to KZbin. Love this version.

[@cantecleer]

I know you cover several of his bigger songs, but I adore that you cover some of these relatively obscure gems too like this one and Farewell Angelina. Your finger picking on Girl from the North Country sounds a lot like his guitar playing on the album. The Jackson C. Clark cover I saw too was beautiful. Have only seen a few of your videos so far, but as I'm sure so many others have told you, you are super talented and you arrange and perform these songs wonderfully. 10/10

[@nikolaoskantzelis8596]

Simply magnificent. I am gobsmacked

[@stevemiller4442]

Oh wow, beautiful version of one of my favourite songs. Thanks so much.

[@matteoniscosi7968]

That's great! That's really great! I like your interpretation so much!

[@brendonleary]

Oh. Golly! In pugilism, they say it is the punch that was not seen, that unexpected, and hence unprepared for punch, that knocks a boxer out. I wasn't expecting that punch. I did not see it coming. I was not prepared for its impact. Completely knocked out. Bravo.

[@DamienOglesby]

A great Bob Dylan song, and such a great cover. Really enjoyed the playing and singing.

Lovely performance! I did not know this song but I have come back to listen a few times. I can’t listen without a smile appearing on my face! Nice picking and hammer-ons too. And I love your bluesy voice.

What a talented girl. Some guitarist. Harmonica so sweet. And a voice from God

[@bone5194]

I saw/heard you at the buskers in chur. Your music is so honest and you have flashing me. Go on and stay true to you ☺️

[@michaelhehir8116]

Good version, well done. To think that Dylan didn’t rate this highly enough to make the final cut on Blood does really highlight the genius of his work. Over the years he’s left dozens of great songs off albums which would have sustained any other musician’s entire career.
