I am somehow unsurprised that the training data is really bad at transparent adoration of cunnilingus.
I mean to be fair Lenny’s sex lyrics are also always religion lyrics. That’s why “So I knelt there at the delta, / at the alpha and the omega, / at the cradle of the river and the seas” is one of the best lyrics ever.
Wondering what it’ll make of Alabama Song, End Of The Night, etc
I’ve never really gotten into Cohen, curiously - voice just doesn’t work for me. Which is a shame because there’s been some great bits of lyricism there
@froztbyte Have you tried Jennifer Warnes' cover album of Cohen songs, "Famous Blue Raincoat"? (Asking because her voice is *very* different from his, but she totally owns his songs.)

I really like her version of the "first we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin"-song.
Cohen’s earliest singing and melodies don’t do it for me even when the lyrics are gorgeous, but the older he gets the more I love them. By the time you get to the stuff he recorded in his 80s my reaction to his singing is NSFW.
