I feel its a toss up...the raw intensity of Cohen, who is essentially "reciting" the song, or the inflection and pageantry of Rufus. Both serve the song well, but in a different way. When I want to feel like I'm seeing these events acted out...its this version. However, when I want to put the emotion I need to on this song...it's Cohen's all the way. One of the most beautiful parts of Leonard's music is it's malleability across artists and performances.

I hear a lot more regret in Rufus' version, the original is more ambivalent. Which tends to happen in covers of Cohen unfortunately. I do think Rufus' voice sounds especially heavenly here.

Great song, I find his voice so has such a sadness in its tone, great music for when you are feeling sorry for yourself !!!
