Watch the Man

'Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man' is now set for cinema release in June and U2's performance features in a new trailer.

'Leonard Cohen, I'm Your Man' features 13 classic Cohen songs performed by a stellar list of famous fans including I'm Your Man by Nick Cave, Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright and Death of a Ladies Man by Beth Orton and Jarvis Cocker.

U2 perform Tower Of Song with Cohen in a New York bar. The performances are interwoven with an intimate interview with Cohen by director Lian Lunson, long-time friend of U2.

God I never even noticed that I was so struck by how beautiful the song was. But I think you're right.

[gareth brown]

yeah, it's not often you see Bono getting off his lazy ass and playing an instrument properly

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

playing an instrument, yes... properly? probably not

 

[Muggsy]

yeah...!! I was there!!!

Lore.

 

[Pop Artist]

My theory is that he actually plays acceptably (both guitar and keyboard) but has trouble singing and playing at the same time.

 

[RavenBlue]

Oh wow. Me wants the soundtrack as well
