Thanks for all the positive comments. His words and music touch the soul. I've uploaded an HD version of the same video here : ua-cam.com/video/48AJBXs5dNc/v-deo.html I'm sorry to say that I have no influence over the appearance of adverts in this video...they are inserted by UA-cam. x
I have not been drunk in more than 20 years. I have not smoked cigarettes for 10 years. I have not been homeless for 20 years. Lately I've wished I could end my life. But I know I will try to continue to proceed and enjoy my family. I am feeling blessed by Leonard Cohen's song Anthem
Reading all the comments i realise that there are so many people longing for this truth and peace. Its just that there will only be ONE Leonard Cohen who can fill us with this perfection. Thats why I treasure all of this.
Listening to this while trying to get through crisis after crisis in my life and yet again Leonard is helping me find courage to go on. I'm drinking my morning tea out of a mug with his portrait and the words "I don't need therapy, I just need to listen to Leonard Cohen" and wearing my black windcheater with the same picture and slogan. I have another difficult day ahead but I'm now feeling I can get through it if I listen to Leonard enough! The two occasions when I saw him perform live in Australia are in my list of top treasured memories. I discovered his poetry before his music and neither will ever die.
We are with you sister, and around the world all people of good intent DO love and support each other. God will see you through and open to Miracles and know you are loved
His wisdom and his immense heart and soul pour out in his poetry and music. I’m so grateful for these gifts he shared with us. Your are missed, Leonard .
This man was one of the most brilliant artists of all time. His songs and his voice will never be matched. Thank you Leonard Cohen for your eternal gifts to this mortal world!!
I suppose the last thing LC needs is another comment - but I'm an old man now and his poetry and music has been the "light that gets in" through my many faults and cracks since the early '70s when we were both a lot younger and members of the League of Canadian Poets back in Canada. This is, I believe, the most profound and characteristic off all his works - I last heard him sing it here in Phoenix AZ over a decade ago, and I have had its wonderful, humbling chorus tattooed on my right bicep for a long, long time. Every morning I see it reflected twice in my bathroom mirrors, and I read it and know that this is all I need to know to get me through whatever the day may bring. What an empty world he has left us with.
Yes my Miracle Tocayo, your tears, ESPECIALLY tears unbidden, are the most appropriate response possible. Just listen to the words again, with or without the video's lovely images. So much to be mourned in every line, practically in every word, but the tone of HOPE and the gutsy declaration of defiance that "I can't run with that lawless crowd. The killers in their fancy clothes and 'respectable' surroundings...It IS an ANTHEM!
была на его концерте,всё время плакала и плакали рядом со мной рядом сидящие,но это не была экзальтация,а была боль,у каждого своя,а потом,когда концерт закончился,зал встал и попросил на БИС,и МАЭСТРО пел для нас ещё час,это было в Финляндии,ВСЕ ВАМ БЛАГ,ЗДОРОВЬЯ и ПРОЦВЕТАНИЯ
2020 - Still listening to this legend of a man. What an INCREDIBLE song, songwriter and singer. Thank you Leonard Cohen, I am only sorry that I found you so late in life.
This man, his voice, his spiritual message to the world. Goes straight to the core of our living souls. He brought such hope to us while he was with us. He's my favorite always will be God Help Us all.
That line, "we are so privileged to gather here like this ,when so much of the world is plunged in darkness and chaos." Couldnt be more true than a time like this.. The "light" will get in. Beauitful song and video.
Dear Leonard. I miss you so much. You've touched my heart like no other artist! Your lyrics, your voice and your intelligence. Thank you for your time on Earth.Elvy Kay
Of all his perfect and beautiful songs, this is the most perfect and most beautiful! I listen to it often, when I need to be reminded that the light can only come in the broken places, and we all have some! Thank you Leonard, and God bless!!!
Ce merveilleux artiste me surprend toujours depuis que j'ai 16 ans, par la puissance émotionnelle qui émane de lui, de sa voix, des ses textes, de son regard. La force d'amour qu'il répand sur son public ont fait de lui le prêtre de la musique poétique folk rock, (ou carrément inclassable avec son répertoire gospelisant).Ses chants sont des prières, des louanges, et malgré les terribles événements, la cruauté humaine qu'il exècre et dénonce, il a toujours préservé l'innocence de son âme et la pureté de son cœur, malgré la conscience.. Il nous invite a le suivre dans cette voix de sagesse. Tous ses hymnes à la beauté en disent long sur cet "idéaliste-lucide", ce combattant de de l'obscurité cet allumeur de conscience. Oiseau parmi les oiseau ton âme brille éternelle tout là-haut
I didn't find L. Cohen, he found me....and the 1,000 dislikers are not worthy to be found by him.The morning I heard he had passed away I couldn't stop crying, I can't listen to this without tears.
The more I hear this concert, the more it strikes me how many people were able to come together in that space. On vinyl, it's like they're all in the room with me. It's truly magical. How wonderful is it that this was captured?
When I was diagnosed with mental illness at 18 years of age, I was devastated. It's been a hard road--I won't lie. But my parents were always huge Leonard Cohen fans, and one day my mom read me the famous four lines from Anthem ("Ring the bells....There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in"). She said everyone has cracks and flaws, but if you look at some of the most brilliant people in history, they certainly weren't perfect. Cracks allow us to feel deeply, both pain AND love, and who wants to be perfect anyway? Bo-ring. It really helped, and she had the four lines engraved for me on a silver pendant (which I still have, despite the fact it has been many years). I feel grateful to my parents, obviously, but also to this brilliant artist whose lyrics make me feel a little less different and broken. RIP Leonard Cohen.
Your parents are incredible people. We all should be so fortunate to be so loved and cared for in such an amazing way. Glad you are here and doing well.
Mr. Leonard Cohen, i write this message to you. You are such a beautiful soul. Your hidden messages ring through clearly to us here on earth now. You could see our world way before we humans could understand it. You could see our sufferings in life. This video is so beautiful. It says it all. Messages for us to learn. Appreciate Nature and all of God's creatures. I love it. The music is beautiful and harmonious. Just perfect for the video. Thank you God for giving us Leonard Cohen. He was truly an instrument to us here on earth. He shared his songs with us. He made us feel.
I have just received this in the middle of the second wave of the Pandemic. It is inspired. A song for our times. The pandemic is showing up the world wide cracks and the light is gradually getting in. Hearing this song as I am for the first time at this time is very powerful , beautiful! Love Maire
Cohen reaches the intimate recesses of the soul as few other artists have done. The humankind should declare a day of mourning in honour of this extraordinary man. Most beautiful video! Thank you.
Leonard you were a sage. If there were people in high places doing what you have done the world would be a better place You often used to refer to angels, please be my angel to help me through a difficult time. Every day that passes is made listening to you and that makes it a lot better. I miss you so much . I was born on the same day as you. R.I.P.
Beautiful I love your voice s0 much I only discover ed you recently so sad to find out you had passed I play you when I'm greiving for my Sons, Colleen
Never more poignant. Never more cogent. The wonderful, spiritual words of Leonard Cohen, my Poet Laureate. May his words give meaning to our lives and hope for the future. (ArS). I hope you give him a piece of your attention. He deserves it.
Ces vols d'oiseaux emportent ton âme loin de ce monde tourmenté Pour que tu trouves la paix en un monde plus serein.Le soir nous regardons les etoiles en espérant y voir celle qui brille plus fort que les autres.misia
Li Lise Yes, but not sentimental, romantic "love." It's the love that sees others as our brothers and sisters and recognizes our deep connection and the fact that we all have a LOT more in common than the superficial differences often make us think. It's the love that sees that all those people who look different and have different religions are really the same as us.
A giant of a man. Such a beautiful song. I have this London Concert on DVD and love playing it as it really is a master piece and such warmth he shows to his audience.
i don't know who took this marvelous video. It's truly magnificent. Breathtaking, and without words. You can only feel. God bless Leonard Cohen for his good works of music and song.
These beautiful images were filmed by John Downer Productions Ltd (jdp.co.uk/programmes/earthflight) and used in the BBC series 'Earthflight'. I simply edited them to Leonard's very moving song 'Anthem'.
WtW280313 Such an outstanding job you did in putting it together. It, along with the song, brings me to tears each time I listen to it. Thank you, So Very Much.
I come from Montreal too and can remember Lenny sitting at some cafe writing his poetry, because that is what he firstly was - a divine poet. Such a kind but trouble man, so sad. RIP Lenny, love you still, we all do.
Last night I descovered this vídeo and from the first second I was moved. As it went on, my soul merged with the overwhelming beauty of Leonard´s voice, lirics, musique, and the exquisite images that unfold in mooving armony......my heart exploded and I burst into tears, then; a heavy crying followed and I was one with it, flying with the birds, immersed in the infinite beauty of the whole, feeling touching gratitude towards Leonard, his exintence and unique way. All my life, since my youth, Leonard is been thear, and he will be with me forever. Thanks to all the people involved in this job, and thanks for sharing. I love you Leonard, God bless you!. I hope we´ll meet in the next realm.
How is it that If found Leonard so late in my life, and after his? I could have traveled to enjoy him. How much I have missed, and now how much we all miss him. Thank goodnesss for recordings, and thank you so much Leonard.
Quel charisme a cet homme ! je l'adore ! dommage qu'il soit parti ! il me manque ! heureusement que nous avons internet pour pouvoir réécouter ses chansons. Merci !
One of the best of his songs. Lenard Cohen was one of the best lyricists ever. So many great songs, deep thoughts, and the pictures they painted in your mind. RIP Lenard Cohen, he left us so much. " We are diminished "
I discovered Leonard Cohen about a year ago. I was immediately hooked and have remained so ever since. His passing is a loss to us all. Perhaps we all shd come together to celebrate his immense talent and through his music let him know he remains with us. John K
Profound ,prophetic truly a legend in our lifetime . We are so fortunate to have lived on this planet with the genius known as Leonard Cohen and what makes it so amazing is the humility to which he lived his life never ever accepting the talent he had as exceptional but of course it truly was exceptional . RIP dear Leonard
Thank you for putting together this most beautiful footage with the masterwork Anthem. Of an incredible beauty both the poetic song and the film. Such a grand hommage to Leonard. Goosebumps all over again.
Blessed be, such a heart... to share a gift with fellow broken wings... Offerings of such Grace is truly mercy in the highest... From the bottomof my broken heart, I thank you sir with all my shattered pieces... amen my friend... may they ring
Many moons ago, on my classroom wall there was a composer's portrait and a quote along those lines "If everything that happens in one's soul could be described by words, there would not have been music". A profound truth. But then a man came along. He wanted to compose. However he could not quite decide what to use - notes or words. So the man lived with his doubts and composed with both. Then people who heard his compositions were wondering what they liked more - the melody of the music or the melody of the words. They, too, like the man, could not quite decide, but soon they forgot and all they felt, while listening, was an awe. Pure and simple. And then some have tried to explain that it must have been something divine, God himself must have been close. Others referred to magic or mystery.....Yet, some others just said it was Leonard Cohen....And they all were quite right .....
More you listen to this song, Ring the bells that still can ring, forget the perfect offerings, there is a crack, a crack in everything, that's how the lights gets in, you get all energy into your body and mind, automatically calming down, and the whole body is effortlessly sailing along with the waves of the song.!. This is the most beautiful song, the power of voice is pulling you towards the journey in the direction of light, the knowledge to attain the wisdom. ! Love to Leonard Cohen, the greatest singer, composer and poet. ! Worth listening for infinite time...Cohen's music and songs will be in the circulations for over a centuries. ! It was, it is and and it will be...
Thanks for all the positive comments. His words and music touch the soul.

A man's greatness is best shown by his humility,

I’m feeling the same today. ⛪️ 1:50

J'adore Léonard Cohen et toutes ses chansons. Très grand poète et de plus j'ai eu la chance de le voir une fois à 1 concert à Nice...
This man was one of the most brilliant artists of all time. His songs and his voice will never be matched. Thank you Leonard Cohen for your eternal gifts to this mortal world!!
It is deeply SAD that such an exquisite, prolific song is punctuated by repeated extensive ads! This is exactly what Cohen is also singing about!

"There is a crack in everything - that's how the light gets in." I really enjoy this man's poetry and his unique voice.
He makes me cry, and I don't know why I'm crying. That must be the crack in me. The place where a little light gets in.
It is. He had heart.
He makes you cry because he found you, he found my dad , I'm very happy he found me too.Over 1,000 dislikers may never be found which is sad.
Dank je wel David *

Thank you for coming and caring, you enriched everyone and exposed beauty and bravery in the face of pain.
"Every heart to love will come -- but like a refugee."
Such hopeful words with a ring of truth.
Meaning that people only turn to love when they have nowhere else to turn to ?
Li Lise Yes, but not sentimental, romantic "love." It's the love that sees others as our brothers and sisters and recognizes our deep connection and the fact that we all have a LOT more in common than the superficial differences often make us think.
It's the love that sees that all those people who look different and have different religions are really the same as us.
How sweet was that ? An anthem to everything and everyone that has ever loved....... The Pink Flamingos were really into it.
your voice was a ragged blanket for my trembling soul
you were my ground, my safe and sound
Did you write that? You are a poet! I've just written it down on a card to carry with me

Even more so now I’m this covid19 time. Still have the voice and the nice warm (perhaps we’ll worn) blanket!! ❣️

Quel charisme a cet homme ! je l'adore ! dommage qu'il soit parti ! il me manque ! heureusement que nous avons internet pour pouvoir réécouter ses chansons. Merci !
One of the most sublime pieces of music I know, coupled with these beautiful images; makes me weep with joy!

Such an amazing man! We are so blessed to have such a man with us. Thank you for everything you gave us while you walked among us!
How can a man like this die? With so many words and songs to sing?
vždyť nezemřel !!!
One of the best of his songs. Lenard Cohen was one of the best lyricists ever. So many great songs, deep thoughts, and the pictures they painted in your mind. RIP Lenard Cohen, he left us so much.
" We are diminished "
RIP, this song helped me to see the beauty in myself. it was my first glimpse into self compassion. thank you
Helped me through several very dark times, God bless him. Still so missed.
I discovered Leonard Cohen about a year ago. I was immediately hooked and have remained so ever since. His passing is a loss to us all. Perhaps we all shd come together to celebrate his immense talent and through his music let him know he remains with us. John K

Diana. Agreed. As Churchill told a beleaguered nation , over 70 years ago, there will be bumps, even in the smoothest of roads.

Profound ,prophetic truly a legend in our lifetime . We are so fortunate to have lived on this planet with the genius known as Leonard Cohen and what makes it so amazing is the humility to which he lived his life never ever accepting the talent he had as exceptional but of course it truly was exceptional . RIP dear Leonard

мой любимый Коэн, его бархатный завораживающий голос не спутаешь ни с каким другим!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!СУПЕР!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! вечная память спасибо
Many moons ago, on my classroom wall there was a composer's portrait and a quote along those lines "If everything that happens in one's soul could be described by words, there would not have been music". A profound truth. But then a man came along. He wanted to compose. However he could not quite decide what to use - notes or words. So the man lived with his doubts and composed with both. Then people who heard his compositions were wondering what they liked more - the melody of the music or the melody of the words. They, too, like the man, could not quite decide, but soon they forgot and all they felt, while listening, was an awe. Pure and simple. And then some have tried to explain that it must have been something divine, God himself must have been close. Others referred to magic or mystery.....Yet, some others just said it was Leonard Cohen....And they all were quite right .....
it is sad but true that we recognize what we've lost too late, sleep tight Leonard
Immer wieder gern zu hören ! Leonard wird nie vergessen sein....
How can anyone not love this!! Or anything from him. He is the best musical story teller of all time.

Oh so right
More you listen to this song, Ring the bells that still can ring, forget the perfect offerings, there is a crack, a crack in everything, that's how the lights gets in, you get all energy into your body and mind, automatically calming down, and the whole body is effortlessly sailing along with the waves of the song.!. This is the most beautiful song, the power of voice is pulling you towards the journey in the direction of light, the knowledge to attain the wisdom. ! Love to Leonard Cohen, the greatest singer, composer and poet. ! Worth listening for infinite time...Cohen's music and songs will be in the circulations for over a centuries. ! It was, it is and and it will be...
I can´t stop to listn it! Thk you so much for this eternal jewel of the world....Love for ever
