Talk:Suzanne (Leonard Cohen song)

message: :On a more mundane level the second stanza could also describe the Jesus figure situated on top of Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours – a sailor's church overlooking the river: And Jesus was a sailor/ When he walked upon the water/ And he spent a long time watching/ From his lonely wooden tower.
There is no statue of Jesus on top of the church. The front of the church has a figure of the Virgin and Child , while the rear (towards the harbour) has the more prominent and famous statue of Our Lady of Good Help flanked by angels . - Montréalais 04:58, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The reference was to the fact that the crucifix over the altar faces the harbour (rather than the street as with most churches) - this is the wooden tower.  The statue above the church is said to be another reference in the song - the Lady of the Harbour (ambiguous in the third stanza as to whether it is this Lady or Suzanne herself).  I remember hearing these things on  a Montreal radio station in the early '70s, but can't give a reference. 99.245.248.91 (talk) 22:04, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

message: In the 1950s, and again in 1960 on his Belafonte Returns to Carnegie Hall album, Harry sang a self-written song titled Suzanne with the opening line "Every night when the sun goes down."   Then, in 1969, on his Homeward Bound album, he recorded a cover of the Leonard Cohen song.

message: Article does mention a number of covers, but does not mention one by the late '60s pop-folk combo Spanky & Our Gang; I mention it because it was a pretty big hit commercially.Maccb (talk) 01:54, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

message: In Tony Palmer's film "Bird on a Wire", Cohen talks of losing the publishing rights (and one therefore assumes any future royalties) for the song: worth mentioning in the article, one would have thought...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.177.182.205 (talk) 00:05, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I saw the same on a video of a performance of this song. A blog says that Cohen bought the rights back in the 90s. Anybody have a source? This should definitely be added to the article. Debresser (talk) 23:23, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

message: Seeying that a french cover and chech cover is menstioned on the wiki page, there should be a mention of this version to.

message: Hi,
in Italy we know this song mainly thanks to the translation of the most important Italian cantautore: Fabrizio De André. I would say that it is worth to mention it. 
Thank you, best --Marco Ciaramella (talk) 15:15, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

message: I tried to put a link to Francoise Hardy’s 1968 cover of Suzanne, which is a french translation, to the covers section. Merely tried to put a link to an existing page within wiki [Comment te dire adieu (album)] and admin removed it for lack of reference. What gives?  Its an internal connection. All one has to do is click on the link to the existing wiki page and voila! Tarheel1994 (talk) 05:33, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Since this article is about the LC song, what you want is a decent WP:RS who noticed that Francoise Hardy did a version of, and bothered to write about it. French ones are fine. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:20, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

message: This article feels rather incomplete. All nice and dandy to what inspired Cohen in writing this song, but there is no mention at all of the actual text of the song, nor an interpretation or comment of it. 83.85.236.39 (talk) 20:00, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
