    Lyrics:
    And who by fire?
    Who by water?
    Who in the sunshine?
    Who in the night time?
    Who by high ordeal?
    Who by common trial?
    Who in your merry merry month of May?
    Who by very slow decay?
    And who shall I say is calling?
    And who in her lonely slip?
    Who by barbiturate?
    Who in these realms of love?
    Who by something blunt?
    Who by avalanche?
    Who by powder?
    Who for his greed?
    Who for his hunger?
    And who shall I say is calling?
    And who by brave assent?
    Who by accident?
    Who in solitude?
    Who in this mirror?
    Who by his lady's command?
    Who by his own hand?
    Who in mortal chains?
    Who in power?
    And who shall I say is calling?
    And who by fire?
    Who by water?
    Who in the sunshine?
    Who in the night time?
    Who by high ordeal?
    Who by common trial?
    Who in your merry merry month of May?
    Who by very slow decay?
    And who shall I say is calling?

    I am from Syria, 24 years ,I grew up and finished university during the war
    so as I grew up during bad situations I could see myself loosing the ability to feel happy , hope and every good feeling,
    but music especially Leonard kohen music With a few other things helped me through this dark time to find kind of inner peace
    and now I didn't heal or have a life change I still the same person incapable to feel
    but the peace pieces I collected help me to wake up and live my day

    You know what is unique with Leonard Cohen? There's plenty of songs on youtube from around the world and each time you listen Leonard you can find a little rhyme that takes you to the other parts of world. These songs are not basic chords, they have a structre and a ton if you belive even you can see the colors of it. I love every inch of this man and his music. God Bless his soul. Rest in Peace meister.

    I saw Leonard Cohen when he came to New Zealand in 2010. I was 15 years old, probably the youngest in the audience by decades. But I had been listening to Leonard's music for years before I saw him live. What an experience. Seeing a man in his mid-70s playing and leading the stage for hours. Laughing with the crowd as though he were a youthful 50 year old. Thank you Leonard for your music. Thank you for your grace. Thank you for being.

      @@A.staris Thank you. Yes, i am fully aware that this song was inspired by the ונתנה תוקף prayer/chant. I also grew up with this prayer/chant and know it very well. The fact that this song is a commentary on this chant (and the worldview behind this chant) is very obvious and clear. However, what is usually not noted by those who have emotionally invested their indentity in a humanity-dividing, sectarian belief systems (and take any possible opportunity to distinguish themselves from the rest of humanity by using such non-sensical nationalist oxymoroms like 'the god of israel' or 'jesus calls on you to repent and come back to the christian faith' or 'muhammed is god's messanger, so repent and come back to islam', or being proud that someone mentioned a chant from their sectarian tradition), what is failed to be noted by such sectarian religious-nationalists is that he was actually NOT agreeing with this abusive fear-driven theology of god (that is promoted in the ונתנה תוקף chant) as a judgemental punishing vengeful entity (which is the common view in all sectarian exoteric religions that created god in the image of their traumatised, fearful, violent, possesive, tribalistic and unconscious psyche), and he was NOT agreeing with this reliance on fear and terrorizing as a means to acheive compliance (as is practiced by all psychologically-undeveloped exoteric religions. For example, if you'll study christian evangelism, you'll know that this ונתנה תוקף chant is IDENTICAL to their beliefs and practice of terrorizing/scaring the followers into "repentance" and compliance. It is the exact same judgemental, punishing, vengeful uncompassionate sectarian theology and set of beliefs (which are the POLAR OPPOSITE of what God actually is... even though both of these zealous sectarian mind-invented unconscious ideologies - both christian and jewish evangelism - place themselves as the gatekeeprs to God, pretend to speak for God and to represent God's will..)
      PS. In case you are not familiar with the distinction i made above between exoteric religions (which are the POLAR OPPOSITE of God, and that move humanity away from God and the wholistic qualities of God) and esoteric religions (which do see and understand the non-sectarian nature of God) then I'll just quickly explain that exoteric religions are highly divisive and sectarian (and place a huge amount of value on 'the uniquness of our group and "our god").
      Exoteric religions contradict the wholistic universal non-sectarian REALITY of God/Consciousness/Being.
      Exoteric religion distort/turn on their head the original teachings of the mystics who were the original spark of all religions (distort them from a wholistic-unifying esoteric seeing of the nature of reality/God, into a sectarian humanity-dividing US-versus-Them right-wing conservative abomination and distortion of the nature of God)
      Exoteric religion stays on the superficial level of culturally-specific rituals and conditioning. Its ideals are completely ego-bound and mind-created, and it doesn't go beyond the level of conceptual thoughts and the emotions that such thoughts generate.
      Exoteric religion is a reflection of the wounded and unconscious human psyche which seeks safety and solace through beliefs, and therefore is highly reliant on judgement, punishment and the use of fear, shame and guilt to achieve compliance.
      Lastly, exoteric religions always dwell in the past (judgement/condemnation/shame/guilt) and future (hope/anxiety), and move their followers' attention away the eternal present moment (which is where God/reality actually is).
      Esoteric religions are unifying, non-sectarian and recognize the universal qualities of God/Consciousness/Being (which is non-sectarian and non-judgemental and not punishing and not cruel and not vengeful, which is unconditionally loving and is inseparable from what we are).
      Esoteric religions have also realized the reality beyond the concepts and images of the thinking brain and the emotional attachments of the frightened and safety-seeking ego.
      Esoteric religions also recognize that the present moment is all there is, the time-less reality in which God looks through our eyes (and all other senses) and percives these words on a screen..
      Almost any religion on the planet has an exoteric side (which is extremely popular and which is practiced by the vast majority of the culturally-indoctrinated population) and an original esoteric side (which is the original insight of an heretic mystic or mystics - possibly as a result of an NDE in their life - before it was turned into an organized and ritualised religion with a large following. An esoteric side which is usually of interest only for a small number of mystics and not of interest to the vast majority of the population, who seem to crave security, safety, comfort, certainty, community of similarly-believing people, and soothing solace-giving concepts, more than anything else, and therefore gravitate to the exoteric part of the religion).
      For example, the esoteric side of exoteric christianity, islam, judaism, buddhism, hinduism is (respectively) Gnosis, Sufism, Kabbalah, Zen/Daoism, Advaita-Vedanta/Non-Duality, respectively..
      And of course there are also many indigenous shamanic wholistic ways of living on the planet which are almost entirely esoteric in their un-mediated connection to (and embodying of) Spirit/Being/God/Consciousnes and its manifestation as everything that exists..

      Ironic that Leonard was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. His music cannot be called rock & roll by any stretch, but he influenced so many other musicians & singer- songwriters. I read an article in the New Yorker magazine that said Cohen & Dylan were good friends & used to take long drives on the Pacific Coast Highway. I'd love to have been able to eavesdrop on those conversations!

    In the early 1970s, Leonard Cohen lived with his Canadian partner, Susan Elrod, the mother of his children. At that time cracks gradually began to form in the love of the two. And the Jewish Leonard, who is struggling in the future with his partner, takes a break and decides to fly to Israel alone. At the same time, the Yom Kippur War and the most famous Jewish singer in the country, who wandered for several days in Tel Aviv, broke out in Israel between the alarms of the war in blessed anonymity and without being recognized. At the end, after he gets tired, he sits down in the "corner" cafe in Tel Aviv, where Israeli artists and singers regularly sit. They began to talk, the friendship began to blossom and in the following days Caspi and Rubina persuaded him to join them for a tour in front of IDF soldiers. The pain of that terrible war, the stories of the battle, the friends who were killed and the hard battles - all these did not disappear from him and immediately after he returns to America and following his experiences in Israel he writes his famous song "Who by Fire" They received a new and exciting melody in this song, as only Leonard Cohen knows.
