Wow, Johnny Cash covering Leonard Cohen, and on the Jon Stewart Show?!?! This is simply amazing...
@sunlion96762 жыл бұрын
I can understand why Johnny Cash would choose this Cohen song to cover- just listen to the words. Even as powerful on their own without music. Thank you for uploading this. 💝

Johnny Cash is among the many artists that I like singing Bird On a Wire. Thank you Jon.

We didn't get to hear Johhny very often without his band. Proves he ALWAYS knocks out his performances - even when it's just him and his guitar. Thanks for posting this.

A giant! One of the most beautiful voice in the world ! This song of Léonard Cohen is beautiful but when Johnny sings it , Whaouh ! So moving !

So sparse yet so full, voice is aged but yet still powerful, so simple its is complex and layered with emotions, so fragile yet so forcefull. There will only ever be one man who could deliver that with so much grace, and that was Jonny Cash.

Big Johnny Cash and Leonard Cohen fan here. I love Leonard's version and he is the original who wrote it, but Johnny did this song great justice also. I don't think it is an easy song to sing.

When I lost Johnny Cash I didn't leave my room for at least 3 days. That was the loneliest time of my life; the heroin didn't stop the pain. No one around me even know who I was crying about.

A guy with an average voice, and a piece of wood, with some strings. How can he create so much feeling with just that? He plucks the string at about 3:30, and it creates such a dramatic pause. Very cool
