Extract

"Suzanne"
Leonard Cohen once again showed his lyrical prowess and ability to effectively communicate human feelings and emotions with the song "Suzanne" which was released on his first album.
The song explains the relationship between "you" (the reader) and Jesus. It does this by telling the story of a figurative relationship between "you" (the reader) and a girl named Suzanne. The name of the girl isn't that important in itself, "Suzanne" merely represents Jesus. It also tells about your relationship with Jesus directly, without figurative characters.
