Hear Bob Dylan’s Stunning Surprise Cover of Leonard Cohen’s ‘Dance Me to the End of Love’

Bob Dylan honored the late Leonard Cohen with a poignant performance of his beloved ’84 anthem “Dance Me to the End of Love” in the singer-songwriter’s hometown on Sunday. Even more nostalgic, it’s only the second time Dylan has played a track of Cohen’s in concert – the first was when he covered “Hallelujah” to a sold-out Los Angeles and Montreal show back in ’88. And one can guess Cohen would be over the moon about the gesture as back in 2017 he gave his regards to the noble Nobel Prize-winning artist, saying “it’s like pinning a medal to Mount Everest for being the highest mountain”.

“Dance Me to the End of Love” may seem akin to a classic love song at first glance, yet is much larger and borrowed from a much more horrificmed tale. Cohen himself related back in 1995 of a tale that happened during the horrors of the Holocaust, of a string quartet being “pressed into performance while this horror was going on” and the people who were being “killed and burnt”, speaking of the beauty as the consummtion of life in his words.

Drifting the journey further on this thoughtful marvel, Dylan turns the once feastful tilt with Cohen’s thoughtful stature into feasting zoomalls with John Mellencamp, Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf as Bob pirouettes gracefully from gruntuitous city to git-tastic town. It seems he bats the local color fairly well as he’s scoured regional vibes á la Rochester, New York’s Grateful Dead delicacies “Stella Blue” and “Brokedown Palace”. All in favour of his rovering Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour.
