Cohen is a one trick pony as most of his songs can be reduced to 'poor me'...
Exactly!! That`s how most Poles felt in 1980s after the martial law! Cohen just hit the nail for Poles, hence his popularity. hahaha
Lightfoot has a far greater emotional range (musically and lyrically).
I believe you but you would have to recommend one more song for me - this time, with attractive melody and vocals, please.

No, come on, the tragedy is happening and he sings with such a monotonous voice
