I 100% agree,

If you look objectively at this song the melody is incredibly simple and repetitive. The lyrics are interesting, as always, but I'm not sure they could put the song over on their own.
It's the way he SAYS them.
It's all down to the words, he's just as she says a poet.
I thought it was pretty straight forward. Most Cohen covers are atrocious. Jeff Buckley's cover of "Hallelujah" leaps to mind immediately.
Yep, outside of the melodic and lyrical strength alredy hardwired into the piece, it's insipid uninspire pap. I'm not sure where people got the idea that whispering and simplistic guitar strumming equals talent.
No one can look at any song "objectively" and on that decide if it is good or not. A good song will evoke an emotional response--which is subjective to each listener. I think it's amusing when someone posts like they are the keeper of the platonic form of "music". I like some covers better than his originals, some I don't.
