Each time I listen to Leonard Cohen s classic Songs from a Room album, I always seem to forget just how brilliant an album it is to sit and listen to all the way through.
Its absolutely awesome. So much so that I just felt compelled to write this album review as I genuinely believe that this is an album that everyone should hear at least once in their lives, if they haven’t already.
Songs from a Room by Leonard Cohen
Songs from a room was released in 1969 and was the second album from poet turned singer and songwriter, Leonard Cohen. The album in my opinion was an absolute work of art and is up there amongst my favourites.

Tonight will be fine.
this is a brilliant choice of track to finish the album with as it has that amazing up step rhythm that leaves you hanging on for more.
the guitar plucking throughout this song alongside that steady rhythm from the bass. Of course, with what no song from this album would be complete without that consistent Jews harp every present throughout.
