“Bird on a Wire”

Suzanne, Sisters of Mercy, and Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye … all pretty much simultaneously …. but first must have been ‘Suzanne’ and probably first through Judy Collins’ cover, and probably in 1967 … and then the other two songs also first via Judy the next year but all fused in memory with Leonard’s own versions of them. I can recall by late 1968 that the line “your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm” was already embedded in my early senses of myself as a woman in love. For all the years and all the soul-stirring songs, and how much I loved how his voice had evolved by the time of The Future in 1990 (the one CD of his where I have to say nobody’s cover has ever exceeded his original versions), I have to put “Anthem” – and the cover by Batalla and Christensen in/on “I’m Your Man” DVD/CD in particular – at the top of the list as the most repeatedly emotion-rousing for me of them all, and that’s saying more than a lot (“Everybody Knows,” esp. in Rufus’s voice, and “Hallelujah” in Buckley’s being but a tip of the iceberg of all the richness out there that it is edging out to take first place in my heart.) His poetry, his fiction, his lyrics. He is our man.
