Leonard Cohen – „Suzanne“ „Leonard predates me a little bit, but not by much. The first time I heard any of his songs was Judy Collins‘ version of ‚Suzanne‘ on her In My Life album. I loved her version and it had a huge affect on me and informed my writing. He’s an important writer. I love that line ‚The sun pours down like honey.‘ I recently ended up playing ‚Suzanne‘ over and over. I’d play it at sound checks, I’d play it in hotel rooms, I’d just play it when I picked up a guitar.“
