    My husband was a big Cohen fan. So I opened his funeral service with this song that he loved so much.

    My Mom passed away a couple of years ago. She couldn't play a fiddle, she could not sing. She didn't even know this song. And her Name was not Marianne. That's what brought me to this song. Suzanne we miss you.

    How marvellous to hear the silence & respect this legend garnered from the beginning. The poet of the 60s & 70s have never been beaten with their references to history, philosophy, psychology, self-reflection...LYRICS that go on & question/reference/expose.

    My mom (Marianne) passed away from cancer a few years ago. Shortly after I discovered Leonard’s music and found this song. I know he didn’t write it about losing a loved one, but I’ve found this line be relatable while grieving: “Your letters they all say that you’re beside me now, then why do I feel alone? I’m standing on a ledge and your fine spider web is fastening my ankle to a stone.”

    It's always been a gorgeous dirgey lament - but what a rockin tune it was during this tour! LC singing as good as he ever would. A fantastic band. Jennifer Warnes & Sharon Robinson. The best of every one. If it be your will.....let them sing.

    • @lk-sb8ql
      @lk-sb8ql 5 місяців тому +2

      I was just sweeping through to see if someone names the girls in the background. And yes, my guess was Sharon and Jennifer. Wanted to be sure. Sharon followed him to the very last performance, this song was played in London too with Sharon and the Web sisters.
      Sharon was his true friend.
      RIP L. Cohen

    Ich habe die Songs von Leonard Cohen geliebt! - Später verband ich sie mehr und mehr mit der düsteren Sicht, die ich in der Folkszene bei einigen Freunden empfunden hatte. Und das hieß für mich: Ich brauchte fröhlichere Musik!
