Love this cover, every year I come back to it

Absolutely the best rendition of this I have heard. Wow.

That was outstanding! One of the best covers for me! Thanks for sharing.

I just don't get tired of listening to it. Thanks again!

This has always been my favorite Cohen song. I never thought it could be improved on, but I was spellbound. I especially appreciated that you didn't change the end, it was right.

Your cohen covers justify the favorit - button! They should be available on CD, would be perfect! Thanks for ur great, moving performances!

I come back here regularly over the years to purge and accept my emotions. I love you for this version, Matthew. ❤🏳‍🌈🙏

I'm obsessed with this song right now, and this is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much.

You put so much emotion into your covers, adding new dimensions to it not even in the originals.

Outstanding feeling while the song is played!!

Very good version! one of the best that I can hear in every time. You are an artist.

Your music is so amazing. Your voice kills me no matter what you're singing, but when you do an emotional song like this, with so much feeling it is... wow. I really have no words to describe it. You are so incredibly talented. Please don't ever stop.

Hay-Zeus Crease-Toe. that was phenomenal! i have been struck completely speechless by this. soo much passion. wow.

there are certain sacred songs. This is one of those songs. And if you can't sing it from all the way down in the broken parts of your soul and bones, if you can't sing it like you believe it, and feel it like you wrote it yourself, you have no business singing it at all. And this performance, this singer, right here, just made me believe it! well damn done!

love this version probably the best cover of the best song ever written

I stumbled upon your talents when searching for Tori Amos pieces, and I have been a fan ever since. Your voice and emotion, when singing, are incredibly stunning, haunting and beautiful. I had heard this song sometime ago and saw that you had done a cover of it - all I can say is that I am, once again, awestruck by your talent. You have a rare and special gift - to move ones soul profoundly with your voice and music - please continue to share it with us!

this is the best cover of Famous Blue Raincoat, to be found on KZread,,,,, respect....

Holy Mother of God! I've never heard it done SO well before! I was looking for the Jennifer Warns version, and found this...amazing!!! (Oh, to the comment before me...The "Sincerely" was Sincerley, A Friend...the last I heard it.)

Very moving...if you don't make it as a singer/musician...you should hit Broadway babe...you are loaded!!! Love and Light

I wish you would come back to KZread man!

kudos....I never seen a cohen cover lke this.....beautiful...

I love the way the piano shakes the camera, the effect adds to the energy of the crescendo. This is one of my favorites

Wow !!! Best I've ever heard...Keep it up

"Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes I thought it was there for good so I never tried." MY FAVORITE LYRICS!! Beautiful rendition. This song is so sad, and you really conveyed such strong emotion. Bravo!

I like how you address every subtlety in the song with the full force of your personality :-) N

I love this cover!!!! Amazing job buddy!!!

This is very good. Came here by accident and now it is one of my favourites! Kudos.

I do love this..what a wonderful piece. And very well interpreted!

i like that you're able to keep your patience all the way through it.. even tori gives into some loud bangs ;)

You really know how to bring out the emotion of the narrative in music ... and sound good doing it. You have a gift my man. Thanks for sharing.

You just keep amazing me over and over again. I can't wait for your next vid.

Amazingly beautiful cover

Enchanting, felt every word. Amazing rendition, love ur passion and intensity. Well Done

I still listen to your version over and over

Matthew... great work... you remind me somewhat of another individual I also discovered though this medium Andy Scisco. His song "You and I begin" for instance is what made me think of the similarity.... keep up the good work.... very enjoyable

I love your version! So emotional

this is sooo good! touched me to the core.. its really beautiful =)

One of my favorite Leonard Cohen songs and you did it very well . Great job !!

Seriously the best cover of this song I have ever heard. :)

just amazing...

I am moved. Just keep doing what you're doing man! Your talent is just so powerful.

you are like a river, this is so damn poetic

Amazing!

Very nice...

Love it!!!

One of the best renditions of one of my favorite songs of all time. And the way you performed it (your voice, the piano, your facial expressions) all elevated it to newer heights. Great job. PS. does anyone know the story in this song? I'm very curious.

Well done Matthew.

Amazing.

your beautiful~ absolutly astonishing

I just loved your voice.! I'd like you to become a famous man! And I thnik you are famous at present ;] i wish you the best.! greetings from poland.

i seriously just cried.

Matthew this is truely beautiful - out on it's own - the best....Would you sing "Dance to the end of love" for a Pacific girl.(:-}

I am dumbstruck you have done some amazing things tot his song

I felt it really did happen to you. :( So sorry my dear 4 that pain on ur shoulder .

Thanks teakzor, that is what I thought too. However parts of the lyrics made me curious because they didn't fit: "You came home alone without Lili Marlene" "Im glad you stood in my way." "Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free." It almost sounds like the friend saved the woman from some abusive relationship. Guess we'll never know :)

oh wow... *melts*

lovely...

Lovely :)

I really wish you would come back to youtube. Ive listened to all of your videos so many times and I've been dying for new ones for 3 years.

Great cover, keep going like that...make me daydreaming of my hometown, weird isn't it?! xx

WOW... compliments u are good & cute :-)

No need to apologize at all...I actually thought it was done in hommage. Anyways, keep it up. I checked out some of your other vids, and I'm wondering if you take requests....LMAO! (JK) Awesome voice!

thanks! re: the last line: I've only heard the L. Cohen line and it didn't even occur to me to change it to something else. No disrespect meant, in fact, I would have felt weird messing with the words.

perfection.

congrats!

Some people may think this an almost blasphemous thing to say, but....I LOVE this cover FAR more than Cohen's original. Tremendous depth and beauty that I didn't get from the original at ALL.

BRAVISSIMO

Cohen's said it never felt it was finished, so yeah.

WOW....Well done m8! Are you an actor as well as a musicain?

thank you

god! god! really im speechless

very beautiful. For me it can't top the Matthew Woolfrey cover but this one comes second.

When can we buy this on iTunes...do you have an album...I am a big Tori fan, that is how I found you...I love her earlier work and you do amazing on it...This song is beautiful and so well done...I WANT MORE !!! lol, I hope you come out with an album soon...You're Amazing.

Are you still singing ? I’m a new fan.

2021

JANE CAME...

♥.

Sort of both. What is he singing about when he talks to this person who obviously shares a past with him? If there's a story to this song (true or made up) I'd like to hear it.

You're gorgeous.

really, this is amazing. I have always loved this song, from the original to Tori's version to Hayden's version, but your version puts them all to shame.

it seems to me that not a thing had a meaning in his song . what is this ?

i guess that i miss you...i guess i forgive you :-)

because he's not on utube I keep on thinking he's dead and nobody knew that yet.....

Dear Matt, I did not want to like it, I really tried to reject your song in my heart as I did not want anybody replace Leonard Cohen for this song as I have a so much painful chapters related to this song. Nonetheless, you sang it so beautifully that I just gave in. Great song, great singer, I wish you all the best mate & thank you Talacci x

哭了

I swear I never understood this song until I heard you sing it, Matthew. I know that Cohen fans might think that is a sacrilege, but Cohen just did not convey the meaning to me, for some reason.

Are you listening to the same Cohen? Leonard writes AMAZING music... but his voice leaves a lot to be desired.

will you marry me?

cohen sounds much better

I am a bit troubled by this version it's beautyful ,and i don't think it suits the song and the lyrics. It kind of loses it's depth still tough it's got something.

ummmmmmm looks like ur lip singing

It's a good rendition, but I think its difficult to watch you sing it. Your facial expressions are a little too wholesome and high school drama club-like.

ça ne dégouline pas un peu trop? Trop de suffisance et trop peu de sincérité.
