Everybody Knows - Leonard Cohen / Rufus Wainwright

Everybody Knows. Or do they?Once again, Rufus provides the inspiration on these musings on Truth, Deception, Masks, and Revealations. Everyone Knows was written by Leonard Cohen (another of my creative godfathers)and this RW version appears on the Motion Picture Soundtrack, "I'm Your Man".Thanks Leonard for your comfort and your sardonic twist of phrase.For more Imaginings Films, check Youtube.com and Motiono.com using keyword, "NicHarosImaginings".

No offence to Leonard Cohen fans but I just love this version of this song. Rufus' raspy tone, and the tempo just gives it that edge... I love jazzmy opinion anyway.

Forrest Gump really put his stamp on this song. I'll never be able to hear "everybody wants a box of chocolates" without thinking of him.tony

shit, that's ugly! Really it is, I hope leonard never hears this. What you made of such a good song...maybe try to articulate first.
