2022 release. „I’ve never gotten over the pleasure of someone covering one of my songs, which probably stems from coming up as a folksinger where it was understood that songs develop a patina through interpretation. I feel that’s the mark of excellence,“ Leonard Cohen once said. Of all the CDs we have released since 2018, „Hallelujah: The Songs Of Leonard Cohen“ (is the best seller. By popular demand, here’s our second selection of Cohen covers, including versions of two songs never recorded by the man himself. It was the poems of his hero, Federico García Lorca, that gave Cohen permission to write. Not to imitate Lorca’s style or content, but to pick up a gauntlet that had been thrown down. Alongside Lorca, he found inspiration in folk and country, songs of solidarity, songs of survival in the face of oppression. Yet there were earthier reasons why Cohen wrote, and particularly why he augmented his first loves, poetry and prose, with songwriting and performing. Just as murder is mostly committed for passion or money, so Cohen became a singer-songwriter in large part because of these twin motivations. In the former he was certainly successful. As regards the latter, his life as a singer-songwriter meant he was able to live far more comfortably than on his poetry and fiction alone. However, songwriting was an arduous endeavour for him. ‚Hallelujah‘, for example, took over four years to write – His consummate skill in rhetorical and literary devices, his knowledge of religious doctrine and ceremony, his willingness to include profanity and sexually explicit imagery, and of course his black humour all combine to make his songs unlike any other. This is one of the reasons that his songs have been so in-demand from serious musical talents, and why Ace Records‘ second volume of Cohen’s songs is as rich as the first. Just as he found Lorca’s poetry a touchstone for himself, the artists on here seem to take up Leonard Cohen not to copy him, not even to emulate him, but to find their own voice from the considerable challenge he sets them.

He posted several photos without naming the author, namely me, without naming a true and well researched source, without naming where he stole the photo without permission.

That was the reaction after I pointed out to him that he not only used my photo without permission, but also without naming the author.

ER postete gleich mehrere meiner Fotos, ohne den Urheber, nämlich mich zu nennen, ohne eine wahre und gut recherchierte Quellenangabe zu nennen, ohne zu nennen, wo er das Foto ohne Erlaubnis geklaut hat. – Die Quellenangabe ist schlichtweg falsch

das war die Reaktion, nach dem ich ihn darauf aufmerksam machte, daß er meine Fotos ohne ERlaubnis verwendete :

 

Er schrieb in einer mail/ he wrote in an e-mail:

Christof , My apologies. I must have misunderstood our 2018 email exchange in which I thought you had given me permission to post those photos.  Regardless, life is too short to allow a copyright hassle to cause a problem, so I’ll delete any posts referencing your site.

SOSO, he misunderstood something, …maybe next time he learn how to ask again, before there will be a misunderstanding, maybe he learn how to work professionally ….

 

…. SOSO…..but he was alerted by someone ….he mentioned the one who alerted him about photos and after he postet them on his website without permission…. very interesting….

NOW, I am not sure about all those alerted and reposted things, which maybe or amybe not gives the right credits…..anyway
