Lyrics:
Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
Well you know that I love to live with you,
but you make me forget so very much.
I forget to pray for the angels
and then the angels forget to pray for us.
Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
Marianne was the love of his life. He wrote a beautiful letter that was read to her as she lay dying. She smiled and passed peacefully surrounded by family and friends. She was 81 years old as is he. RIP Marianne!
.
In late July this year, Cohen received an e-mail from Jan Christian Mollestad, a close friend of Marianne’s, saying that she was suffering from cancer. {...} It appeared, she had only a few days left. Cohen wrote back immediately:
"Well Marianne, it’s come to this time when we are really so old and our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you very soon. Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can reach mine. And you know that I’ve always loved you for your beauty and your wisdom, but I don’t need to say anything more about that because you know all about that. But now, I just want to wish you a very good journey. Goodbye old friend. Endless love, see you down the road."
Two days later, Cohen got an e-mail from Norway:
"Dear Leonard
Marianne slept slowly out of this life yesterday evening. Totally at ease, surrounded by close friends.
"Your letter came when she still could talk and laugh in full consciousness. When we read it aloud, she smiled as only Marianne can. She lifted her hand, when you said you were right behind, close enough to reach her.
It gave her deep peace of mind that you knew her condition. And your blessing for the journey gave her extra strength. . . . In her last hour I held her hand and hummed “Bird on the Wire,” while she was breathing so lightly. And when we left the room, after her soul had flown out of the window for new adventures, we kissed her head and whispered your everlasting words.
So long, Marianne . . ."

The moment he pauses at 00:49 for a few seconds to hear himself the wonderful ladies doing amazing backup vocals and pay tribute to them. What a legend, what a gentleman, what an artist, what a wonderful human being!
Super - pauses
I am Marian
I am a widow and I listen to "So long Marianne when I need to remember happier times. Thank you.
I once met Cohen on the isle of Hydra close to Athens where he used to live with his Norwegian girlfriend Marianne... he was just walking along.. and I ... very shy.. asked him: Sorry are you Leonard Cohen?! and he answered, smiling; "I am afraid I am" ... I will never forget this... since then I love this great Canadian his music and his lyrics.... it is magic!
Late 1973. After hitchhiking during September and October 1972 , 10000 miles from Oklahoma to Cali and back to Brooklyn, my ex and I bought a 1967 Westfalia VW camper bus and traveled through Europe and North Africa. Ended up cleaning hotel rooms in Munich for US military. Had to sit on the aisle for his concert. We were the only Americans. A small intense crowd. Amazing 🤩
Leonard Cohen ...R.I.P.... His works reflect, the soul of his Jewish heritage.Suffering, death eternal hope. May his music live on forever.
We were so blessed to be in the company of this man .. I laughed and cried and we stood at the end clapping and with tears we knew it was our last time to pray with him .... A beautiful soulful gentleman...
Never was exposed to Leonard Cohen growing up. He may not be operatic, but that misses the point. He is an Authentic Human with great heart and sensibility and that's infinitely better than 90% of the Fake. Glad for UA-cam. Stay steeped in the Authentic Human!
Thank you for a lifetime of memories, Maestro. You were a major part of my musical life for the past 50 years. Ups and downs were commemorated through your music. Even had a sweet encounter with your temper at Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, Denmark, where, for some reason, you were in a very foul mood which only made the concert more memorable. You were ready to leave this earth and we thank you for what you left us - a lifetime of beautiful memories.
Peace eternal

Thank you for being part of my life, because I feel free to say it and you will always be great ....
3:05 When the violin solo began, Cohen doffed his hat in respect, showing his gentlemanly demeanor as a singer.
Marianne - "Cohen wrote to her shortly before her death, saying: "Know that I am so
close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can
reach mine... Goodbye old friend. Endless love, see you down the road." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/So_Long,_Marianne
What a sweet song he sings so joyfully. Wonderfully performed with such enthusiasm at 80 there, showing we never age inside. Same us inside always. So glad he has chance for reunion now, as she left only this July.

So much like June and Johnny Cash. This ability to feel constantly and having known true love is what I feel makes their genius truly spectacular, or at least so much more special.
'Well Marianne, it's come to this time when we are really
so old and our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you
very soon. Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out
your hand, I think you can reach mine.
"And you know that I've always loved you for your beauty and
for your wisdom, but I don't need to say anything more about that
because you know all about that. But now, I just want to wish you a very
good journey.
"Goodbye old friend. Endless love, see you down the road."'
Don't forget any musician - it can be the last time you see him. We miss you so much Leonard Cohen!
Like fine wine, he improves with age.
Seeing Leonard live in Plymouth (UK) over 40 years ago was and remains one the most memorable moments of my life. For the second half of the show he stood alone on the stage with just a guitar, no backing singers or other musicians and held the audience spellbound in the palm of his hand.
I was at one of the Dublin concerts, he was such a powerful performer - so connected to the audience, so much passion for his art. Still hard to believe he is gone when I watch and listen to him, an amazing musician.
Восторг!!!
No words good enough to describe this song and this version. It is on my constant repeat. The back up singers are heavenly and Leonard is the King, he is absolutely magical. The story behind the song is the best love story ever
I think Leonard either had commitment issues and/or he was just a loner.
Even now. Yes. Even now and for as long as lovers come And go. So long Leonard.
❤😂😂❤❤😂😂❤
Geniuses like Leonard shouldn't die! From Brazil
Oi Brasil! Tudo bem? 😊
@@jamesgreenldn, fala amigo!
Oh, love. It's time we laugh and cry and laugh again. thank you sir, Leonard. You rocked my world. Every. Time.
RIP Marianne. ''Marianne Ihlen, the woman immortalized in “So Long, Marianne” and the woman in Leonard Cohen’s life through the 1960s, died July 28, 2016 after being diagnosed with leukemia less than a week ago.''
2 weeks ago i lost my twinbrother, wen i listen to this song i cant stop crying, so long twinbrother
Kind of beautiful that Leonard & his Marianne Ithen both passed away in 2016, a mere few months apart. RIP L. Cohen.
True love❤️
Yup.. true love can only be realises by without wealth..
I just watched Marianne & Leonard, Words of Love, Netflix, OMG I cried like a baby.... they passed away 3 moths apart.....
@@ranqueles7 😊.....
Hallelujah Leonard - you live on in all of us..
Hello gorgeous, how're you doing, I hope you are doing fine. I'm David from Houston, Texas. Where are you from? You seems like a real Country girl😊🌸
Rest in peace 😪 The world has lost a great poet, musician and performer
Only just discovered this man! “You got me singing” …. A brilliant song! Love it!
I'm in hardships these days, can't find any other music to feed my soul except Leonard's songs. Absolutely brilliant man with exceptional voice and talent. so long great man, so long.
You will live forever, Leonard, in all your poems and your songs. RIP.
R.I.P. my beloved poet

Very much like the comment - he was great.
wasn't the world so blessed to hear what this man had to share - his wisdom , his voice , his music and of course his charm. What a joy and honour to see him in Dublin - his light will never fade.
Hello gorgeous, how're you doing, I hope you are doing fine. I'm David from Houston, Texas. Where are you from? You seems like a real Country girl😊🌸
@@roygraham1388ciao Roy! 🙋♀️😍😘💘🍀
The Music stopped and the levy was dry. I do not believe L. C. Is silent where he is right now. My prayer is he hears all people still stopping by to say 'one more song please.' And here, it can go on as long as we reach our children when they reach out for love, forever. The waters have to release him, cause he sure might drown in all the tears shared. I have an ocean behind my eyelids. Tks for the loving.

RIP Leonard. How can we say thank you enough for what you gave us? It seemed that you understood us so well. THANK YOU.
So long Leonard Buon Vento
God speed Leonard, you're the one who should have got the Nobel Prize for Literature.
PRINCESSCUDDLY1 i felt the same.
no nobel prize for literature but the nobel price for love awarded by the audience
The Nobel group might -- and should -- get around to Leonard.
See His rebut?
@@hangdogit I think Nobel prizes can only be awarded to living persons, but there are other posthumous honors and prizes.
What can I say....he was fabulous. I never get tired to listening to him.
Ah! Leonardo gjithnji mbetsh i vecante❤
The love story continues...so long Leonard and Marianne...
With Love they are together again
Ah yes Gabriele, love like that has to continue. xx
I think Susanne, the mother of his two children might disagree with that statement.
- What a writer and composer ! As a teenager I had bought a bilingual version of his poems, he helped me a lot to improve my english with them. And after reading them I felt I had to get to write some on my own. I wrote a few hundreds. I owe him a lot for all that. Thank you M.Cohen.
What a beautiful deep tone he had at this age. Love this song
Un doubtedly one of the very best artists in all of our memories.
RIP Leonard Cohen.
Im glad you were doing what you loved till the end.
This song never fails to bring down my tears. So long, Leonard.
Those backup singers are fantastic.
Maybe only Ray Charles' were better. Maybe.
I agree with you . Don't have music like that anymore.
ventureelect in all his shows the backup vocals is always on point!
ventureelect and the musicians are always also the best when Leonard was on the road on tour.
RIP Leonard our friend.
ventureelect yeah what are their names?
The way he gives respect to other musicians.... A legend!
Leonard Cohen followed Marianne Ihlen after just 103 days. He really meant it when he wrote to her "Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can reach mine,” RIP
Leonard, knowing his time was looming, write to his lifelong muse Marianne, just a few days before she died: Our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you very soon. Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can touch mine".
And I think she reached her hand out --if she didn't I like to think she did!
Such beautiful words. What a great poet he was
Great singer...missed his Irish concert in sligo
R.I.P. Mr. Leonard Cohen. Legends live forever
The harmony that he had with the band was unique. It is not the band and the singer, it is all together with a great harmony.
I am so sad that I never got to see Leonard live! He has so much charm and sets a fire in his songs and performances that I have never seen in anyone else! You LIVE forever, Leonard! Thank you for your voice, performance and for sharing so much of yourself!
Rest In Peace, Leonard....
R.I.P Leonard Cohen. So Long.
Still gives me chills
Leonard you are a king.rest in peace .

Adieu Leonard Cohen ... you will miss enormously to

Just heard the two blonde sisters who backed him for the last 6 years reminiscing about his humour, love, talent. We are grateful for his amazing legacy! So long ...
168 people will burn in a very special hell!
This man has touched so many souls.
Now he's gone, RIP Leonard. This is my favourite song by far...
It's May 2020, but let me tell ya: This song will never get outdated! Also need to thank the musicians, esp. the violinist and the backup vocals, perfect!
Yes, it still works, even after 47 Years, that I'm listening to it. 🥰
So long, Leonard...
Yes. So long, partisan!

Lijana, Lovely name.
So long, RIP M. Leonard Cohen, I never forget your songs !

Then it was time, Leonard. Closing time. And you are finally together with Marianne again. Thank you for everything. So long!
RIP Leonard. The world has had a great loss with you leaving us.
So long Mr Cohen - just wished you would have been my man and danced me to the end of love xxxx RIP
Adios Leonard, hasta siempre. Te quedas en mi alma, en mi piel, en mis sentidos. Fuiste un inspirado privilegiado de la expresión máxima del sentir y del amor . Nobel de todos los q te amamos y te llevamos vivo para siempre❤️ 😭 🙏

Everytime i need to cry to "reset" i come here to this song. In 30 seconds i am crying. I cry for Leo and the other 9 fine musicians that will never be together again on a stage. It was so unique! Its history now.
Marianne just passed away. RIP
So he came to fetch her if you ask me. He can't be without her.
I never met this man, but I loved him through his songs. What a heavy loss.
What a great guy - very much missed !!
So Long Leonard, Thank you for THE Beautiful Music!!!
So long Leonard....we all miss you
Não morrerás jamais Leonard!
A tua voz, as tuas canções continuarão a falar por ti.

leonard cohen you are gone but you are still with us through your music thank you for giving so much
Drying our eyelids in the Belgian rain... Thx, Leo!
Rest in peace, you gave so much to this world.
The poor man he felt alone too !
Hello gorgeous, how're you doing, I hope you are doing fine. I'm David from Houston, Texas. Where are you from? You seems like a real Country girl😊🌸
It is closing time . The Future stands still. The grief, the shock ; I was not ready for this. I have lost an anchor that was a major part of my musical life for the past 20 years. His wry, self deprecating, tender verse chronicled the ups and downs of my life.
The tuneless yet haunting bass voice carried ‘’a blaze of light in every word’’a silent conversation a sense of interrogation by each turn of a phrase
Thank you Leonard for the cracks and the lights, never will a Fedora be so much missed.
So long marianne
Yes, I understand. He had a place in my life, too. I wanted him to stay.
Will I ever stop crying at his death ? Words of Love are Beautiful so thank you ❤
The beauty of tears is the one that creates Leonard Cohen in his deep skill.
RIP, brilliant man. Damn.

I had the pleasure of attending his concert at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on 30 October 2013. The most moving and endearing artist to ever grace a stage. The best concert I have ever been to. Here’s looking at you Leonard.
Leonard, tkanks for your lovely songs.
It is a testament of a great artist when they are humble. Hows lovely to see Mr. Cohen take his hat off when the violinist plays. He did it also when the keyboard player did the solo in Hallelujah.
So long, God. You have been a refuge in hard times and an absolute source of joy in sunny days. I will carry you in my heart till I die and then beyond. Rest in music master. Much love.
I just heard about the death of the great musician Leonard Cohen, the man who danced us to the end of love with his music and poetry. Bon Voyage, Leonard in the angels world ! Know that you will live forever in the hearts of lovers of poetry, like me.
The world is poorer without you !
What can I say that's not been said? I just love your songs. A true troubadour. You will never be forgotten. I sing your praises to those who did not know your beautiful songs...
Great Song...Great Voices....Great Arrangement. Love that Organ plus the Harmonies, So pretty are you a lover of good music.
Still listening to him May 2019 in New Zealand. RIP Leonard Cohen

And Marian died last month,God bless her soul!!!
She died moments after Leonard's farewell letter read to her. At the point in the letter in which he said he was close enough to the end himself that she could reach out her hand and almost touch him, she reached out her hand. It's very difficult to describe that scene without weeping...in fact, I couldn't quite manage it. So long, Marianne.
+KennBurch Very touching! I think norwegian feel like a Marianne everytime he sing this song. :)
So long, Leonard!
Как рад, что открыл для себя этого талантливого Человека еще при жизни! Браво Маэстро!!!
ЗЫ
Пишу так, уверен, что среди русско говорящей аудитории его тоже любят и чтят!
Вы правы!
Браво 👏👏👏
Splendid

Took my oldest son to see Leonard in Halifax together,
was a fantastic night.
I love you Man ,,,,World without Music is Ugly

What is there not to like about this fantastic man and his performers?
Thats a trick question I bet .... is there anything?
What is there not to like for certain people, specially those of the 60s in the USA, is that there is still an unconscious bias for echoes of "gospel" like in the choir and organ in this recording...This bias was of course part of the racial apartheid in music that existed in the USA in those days
Your comment above is so sad to read, Victor. I feel great pain for you and those like you who have concocted such a self-defeating narrative.
I feel great pain for those like you who post condescending comments on UA-cam. Oh... this is a condescending comment as well. I guess nobody's perfect. :)
What a freaking beautiful man! RIP, my sweet soul.
Masterpiece !!! And the Background Lady´s are from another planet
