Live songs

Live Songs was released in 1973; Cohen's fourth album was a collection of recordings made at a number of concerts in Europe between 1970 and 1973.
The collection consists of songs from 1969's Songs From A Room, such as "Bird On A Wire", "Story of Isaak" and a new version of "Seems So Long Ago, Nancy" (now simply dubbed "Nancy"), and a number of new songs.

The epic climax is unmistakably the 13-minute "Please Don't Pass Me By (A Disgrace)", in which Cohen describes his personal descent into hell & oblivion.
The song tormented Cohen to such a degree that he rarely sang it again.

A beautiful collection of songs that shows Cohen in his most raw & vulnerable moments…
