  Songs from a Room - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Songs from a Room was the Canadian poet Leonard Cohen's second album.
Although it is often described as something of a disappointment after his debut album (Songs of Leonard Cohen), initially it did better commercially, reaching #63 on the Billboard list and #2 at UK charts.
The song was recorded by Judy Collins on her 1967 album Wildflowers, and by Richie Havens on his 1969 album Richard P. Havens, 1983.

On the back jacket of "Songs From a Room" was a photo of the beautiful, blond Marianne Jensen -- the Norwegian woman of "So Long, Marianne" fame, Cohen's lover and muse of many years -- sitting at a desk in a white room.
"Songs From a Room" opened with two of Cohen's masterpieces, "Bird on the Wire" and "Story of Isaac," songs that, taken together, defined his persona as outsider and prophet, a man without a country and a citizen of the world.
Miller" employed his songs to such effect it looked like the ultimate music video, and Billboard labeled him "the new patron saint of the non-hippie hipsters." There was something very unpsychedelic about his image: the suits, the gravitas, the voice, the flamenco-style guitar.

These haunting songs "from a room" have lost none of their poetic impact after 3 decades; their grace, elegance and beauty shine on.
The rest of the songs are good, especially when taken in the context of the album, but, personally, I don't like this as much as his other albums that I own.
He likes his rooms more spartan, but he would have appreciated the irony: Cohen's heroes often balance on a knife edge between sacrifice and suspicion; ready to give it all up for love one moment, and caught in wry resignation the next.

Ironically, the weakest song here is the relatively famous "Bird on the Wire" where Cohen actually sounds like he's dumbing things down a bit in attempt to get a hit song--it's rather dull, and it's weighed down by the syrupy string arrangement and Cohen's strained melodramatic vocals.
So, there are some gripes with "Songs From a Room", but it's a must-have for any Cohen fan--it's an effective mood piece and an engaging collection of songs from this incredibly unique artist.
That was a temporary tragedy for me. The songs on this album are stripped-down simple--usually only bass, guitar, jew's harp, and Leonard's sinister vocals--but the sere background only emphasizes the otherworldlyness and the beauty of the lyrics.

"Red has the ability to take even a friendly, upbeat, happy love song and turn it into a dirge march to the gas chamber," is stated, matter-of-factly, by the press release for Red's new album, Songs from a Room, a track-by-track cover of Leonard Cohen's album of the same title.
The extra blurts and hisses in Songs from a Room's audio palette are not distancing from the music, the listener is not alienated by the often subtle racket whirring beneath the song.
The result is an imminent frustration creeping up around the edges of each song, a barrage that is constantly ready to usurp the vulnerable songs, but never does.

Drums accentuate several tracks, but the mood is sparse acoustic grace, recalling the quick melancholy jabs of Tim Hardin as channeled through Francoise Hardy.
The songs are slight -- ten in thirty minutes -- and threaten to dissipate in flight.
However, stretching your ears for the a capella majesty of "Penses-Donc (Tu Es Seule)" or meditating to the gently-plucked "Ce Charmant Coeur" goes beyond civic lines and straight to the international language of oddly affecting songwriting.
