That's how I first came across his music as a teen in the 90s. I also had an English teacher in high school that took an interest in me.. I stood out and was mostly bullied by kids and ignored by teachers, she told me Leonard Cohen was her favorite singer. I wish I had of known more about him back then

It is not the pioneer of a better and finer world, but the spoiler of what thousands of years of civilization have created. It does not build, it destroys. For destruction is the essence of it. It produces nothing, it only consumes what the social order based on private ownership in the means of production has created.

This was absolutely the best concert I have ever been to. The privilege of seeing him sing at the State Theater in Detroit in June 1993 was like a religious experience. After the concert, we waited outside in the back of the theater for Mr. Cohen and all of the band to come out; and it was worth every second. Not only was Mr. Cohen kind enough to autograph the concert program, but the gentle way he shook my hand, thanking me for coming, and the sincere way he looks into your eyes while he says it. Loved this and will never forget the magical experience. How I so wanted to get on that bus with them and take that journey with them the rest of the way.
Thank you for sharing your story. 💕 It sounds like Mr. Cohen and yes he was a wise, sincere man and I do believe a bit prophetic! And magical 🧚♀️. A true gentleman.
Are you a good person according to God, your Creator and Judge? Not by your own standard, but by His. No one is. Repent, confess your sins to God, believe in Christ and live eternally. Only then will you be forgiven, at peace with God and free from hell: ua-cam.com/video/pYZw0dfLmLk/v-deo.html
Looking back now, what a privilege what it was to hear this first as a twelve year old boy while watching Natural Born Killers start and it stuck with me ever since. Hypnotic and wise to the heart. And this is just one of countless other gems this highly gifted soul gave us. RIP Leonard Cohen.
When he utters "Something absolutely wrong" I feel like letting loose, forget every care in the world and unleash the inner mad self! Truly a gifted human being and musician.
I remember it from that movie as well from when I was a kid. Iooked it up the nbk soundtrack n found it. I had no idea what it was called or anything but for some reason the sound of it stuck out in my head this afternoon.
❤ Leonard Cohen vertolkt in dit geniale nummer beknopt en treffend mijn gevoelsleven van de afgelopen zeventien jaar van mijn leven met Monden van de zogenaamde geestelijke gezondheidszorg, aan het roer. Hij, Monden, mag er dan lullig uitzien, hij heeft me niet zo lullig te behandelen 😂 . Volkomen terecht dat hij, Monden van de zogenaamde geestelijke gezondheidszorg, veroordeeld is, hetgeen ik, vreemd als het is, van derden heb moeten vernemen. Forever grateful, dear Mister Cohen. Rest in peace, Mister Cohen. ❤
In the last few moments of that song, my brain is always waiting for that evil chuckle as the music fades: "Are you flirtin' with meeee?".... "Beepbeep!"
The actual screen play was brilliant 😮 NBK. When Woody Harrelson said “a moment of realization is worth a thousand prayers” wasn’t scripted. It’s his original quote, and I agree SSAB 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Что же эта за тайна живёт в человеке, которая пробуждает в ответ на голос любимых певцов все эмоции? Как удаётся в одной песне певцу вызвать в воображении целый шквал воспоминаний? И появляются слёзы - сначала в душе, а затем выходят наружу через слёзные пути, слёзы благодарности за пережитое под его песню...Вдыхаю каждой клеточкой волшебство голоса Леонарда!
I can't think of any other artist whose words and music can insinuate themselves into the marrow of your life like Leonard Cohen. We are so, so lucky to have him with us.
Love is universal and doesn’t know the boundaries of a culture of a race. Some artists understand this in spite of the tendencies of time as in this song by Leonard Cohen. Forever my favorite artist. Enjoy.
"Waiting For The Miracle" Baby, I've been waiting, I've been waiting night and day. I didn't see the time, I waited half my life away. There were lots of invitations and I know you sent me some, but I was waiting for the miracle, for the miracle to come. I know you really loved me. but, you see, my hands were tied. I know it must have hurt you, it must have hurt your pride to have to stand beneath my window with your bugle and your drum, and me I'm up there waiting for the miracle, for the miracle to come. Ah I don't believe you'd like it, You wouldn't like it here. There ain't no entertainment and the judgements are severe. The Maestro says it's Mozart but it sounds like bubble gum when you're waiting for the miracle, for the miracle to come. Waiting for the miracle There's nothing left to do. I haven't been this happy since the end of World War II. Nothing left to do when you know that you've been taken. Nothing left to do when you're begging for a crumb Nothing left to do when you've got to go on waiting waiting for the miracle to come. I dreamed about you, baby. It was just the other night. Most of you was naked Ah but some of you was light. The sands of time were falling from your fingers and your thumb, and you were waiting for the miracle, for the miracle to come Ah baby, let's get married, we've been alone too long. Let's be alone together. Let's see if we're that strong. Yeah let's do something crazy, something absolutely wrong while we're waiting for the miracle, for the miracle to come. Nothing left to do ... When you've fallen on the highway and you're lying in the rain, and they ask you how you're doing of course you'll say you can't complain -- If you're squeezed for information, that's when you've got to play it dumb: You just say you're out there waiting for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
I'm so glad I had the privilege of hearing & growing to love Leonard's music. His lyrics as always touch the soul &make me cry. It's like he's reading my thoughts in his lyrics & piano is beautiful. I'll miss him & appreciate the legacy of his music.

An acquaintance I had back in the 90's turned me on to Leonard Cohen. I went through a bad divorce and listened to his music from this CD so I bought it. I played it over and over in the middle of the night when I was hiding and trying to run. It was too depressing for most of the people in my life, sort of macabre. Then in 2002, my 15 year old son, my Christmas eve baby was murdered. I dug it out and listened to it over and over and over. There is just something about his poetry, the music he puts it to that was really comforting. My youngest son and 2 of Zack's best friends all got "Zack Tat's". Lukas thought the art on this CD would have been a perfect tat for me. I lost that CD and have been looking for one at various stores.
I can not get this song off my mind. For weeks now, every moment of quiet - this song creeps in. ... I barely even noticed it first time I heard it. Weird how that happens.
I remember the first time i heard this song. We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert, listening Leonard Cohen, when the drugs began to take hold.
Always loved this song, one of their darker ones...He had such, beautiful, dark lyrics..Sharon Robinson matches that beauty in this song...My fav of all time...
Fuck..so deep song, this is truth, most of us are passing our lives in the waiting for the miracle to come. While the life is coming around us, that's the song about - stop to wait the miracle to come every moment of your life but wake up and do the miracle by yourself.
Volim iskreno i poštujem borce u životu i za život kao što si Ti. Bog Ti od pomoći bio. Hvala Ti neizmerno na ultra vanzemaljskom mu zičkom glasu i što si nam pružio iskreno od srca svoju magiju .
If anyone has to, if you have to remember me, please remember me as someone who was deeply in love with the liberating, the soothing voices of Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan. Cohen feels more like a soothing shelter sometimes, though. But God, the chills this specific song gave me with its lyrics and Leonard's heavy, profoundly spiritual and bone-to the marrow-seductive voice! ❤
« Natural born killers » leads me here . And now the song stays forever in my heart .
Vero!....Leonard ancora c'e'!...

Cuz that's how Old we were when it came out... 80s babyzz'

Could have wounded it furthermore

"Waiting For The Miracle"
Baby, I've been waiting,
I've been waiting night and day.
I didn't see the time,
I waited half my life away.
There were lots of invitations
and I know you sent me some,
but I was waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
I know you really loved me.
but, you see, my hands were tied.
I know it must have hurt you,
it must have hurt your pride
to have to stand beneath my window
with your bugle and your drum,
and me I'm up there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
Ah I don't believe you'd like it,
You wouldn't like it here.
There ain't no entertainment
and the judgements are severe.
The Maestro says it's Mozart
but it sounds like bubble gum
when you're waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
Waiting for the miracle
There's nothing left to do.
I haven't been this happy
since the end of World War II.
Nothing left to do
when you know that you've been taken.
Nothing left to do
when you're begging for a crumb
Nothing left to do
when you've got to go on waiting
waiting for the miracle to come.
I dreamed about you, baby.
It was just the other night.
Most of you was naked
Ah but some of you was light.
The sands of time were falling
from your fingers and your thumb,
and you were waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come
Ah baby, let's get married,
we've been alone too long.
Let's be alone together.
Let's see if we're that strong.
Yeah let's do something crazy,
something absolutely wrong
while we're waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
Nothing left to do ...
When you've fallen on the highway
and you're lying in the rain,
and they ask you how you're doing
of course you'll say you can't complain --
If you're squeezed for information,
that's when you've got to play it dumb:
You just say you're out there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
Thank you!

We’ve all been waiting and we still are...

Une musique agréable, une voie de rêve, un orchestre, assurant la mélodie, rien que du bonheur. Merci Monsieur Cohen, c'est une pure merveille.
A voice that sounds like God to me
He was a super musician poet writer,im a total fan
Living in desert hills and driving to work everyday on desert while playing this song it's surreal I don't know why!
The rhythm of the lyrics. The drone. The bass. ...
maybe its cuz the mushrooms
still waiting for the miracle with a slight pain of fear that it will not come
Still waiting!
Believe and they will happen. I'm grateful that I've missed death over 12+ times and had wonderful miracles in life. Grateful to God🙏🏻😊🙏🏻

I played it over and over in the middle of the night when I was hiding and trying to run. It was too depressing for most of the people in my life, sort of macabre. Then in 2002, my 15 year old son, my Christmas eve baby was murdered. I dug it out and listened to it over and over and over. There is just something about his poetry, the music he puts it to that was really comforting. My youngest son and 2 of Zack's best friends all got "Zack Tat's". Lukas thought the art on this CD would have been a perfect tat for me. I lost that CD and have been looking for one at various stores.
Magnífico tema! ! Siempre estarás presente 😘❤
❤😢 I hope you have found some kind of equilibrium, such a hard loss.
The miracle HAS come !
I know it does!
I can not get this song off my mind. For weeks now, every moment of quiet - this song creeps in. ... I barely even noticed it first time I heard it. Weird how that happens.
Same !!!!
My favorite as well 💖 Ever since I heard it on the Natural Born Killers soundtrack
Doing this journey together since 1986, thank you for the miracle!!!!!!!!!!! Rest in peace!!
🌏🙏❤️This song is one of the best songs of all time 💥Magic voice 🍁Leonardd Chohen ⭐️Love youu ⭐️
my tears for Léonard
I remember the first time i heard this song. We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert, listening Leonard Cohen, when the drugs began to take hold.
One of his greatest songs. God I miss Montreal. God I miss Leonard.
a kindred spirit and a most human voice.......
*an almost human voice..
Had this song in my head all day long, among with an occasional "First We Take Manhattan". Another sad passing that made 2016 a sadder year. RIP.
Thank you for your miracle!😎
I really appreciate your help and support
I am Brian Shelley,

РЕСПЕКТ ! НОСТАЛЬГИЯ .. 90-ЫЕ .. ЛЕОНАРД,ПОКОЙСЯ С МИРОМ -- ВЕЛИКИЙ МАСТЕР !
Always loved this song, one of their darker ones...He had such, beautiful, dark lyrics..Sharon Robinson matches that beauty in this song...My fav of all time...
I love you leonard forever
Love this leonard
Fuck..so deep song, this is truth, most of us are passing our lives in the waiting for the miracle to come. While the life is coming around us, that's the song about - stop to wait the miracle to come every moment of your life but wake up and do the miracle by yourself.
RIP, poetry and soothing music all in one
What a wonderful Song
Душевная песня!!!!! 👍👍👍
Volim iskreno i poštujem borce u životu i za život kao što si Ti. Bog Ti od pomoći bio. Hvala Ti neizmerno na ultra vanzemaljskom mu
zičkom glasu i što si nam pružio iskreno od srca svoju magiju .
Deeply missed
See if we can live alone together
See if we're that strong
Such a banging song. That desert feel to it 🏜️
My grandfather told me when I was a kid. This was his favorite song. I just recently got to hear it. I love it. So glad.
The unsettling music sets the tone for the more unsettling song sung from the viewpoint of a man waiting in hell, waiting for a miracle to come.
Need more than words to comment, pure soul
I have loved this since the late nights in 90's, and still do and keep return to it obviously.. :)
the most beautiful song ever
The best is yet to come...
Ik mis hem en zijn muziek 😘
Самая моя любимая композиция !!!! Мурашки по всему телу и ... душу сводит....
потрясающий голос!!!!!
Аня Кузнецова Солидарен с Вами. Все Его шедэвры заставляют нас стать добрее.
Какие евреи талантливые люди,причём во всех областях.дал же бог,голос такой,что можно дать любому под эту песню
@@ЛюдаВолохинаДумаете тут в еврействе дело,?
Waiting for a miracle to come.
If anyone has to, if you have to remember me, please remember me as someone who was deeply in love with the liberating, the soothing voices of Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan. Cohen feels more like a soothing shelter sometimes, though. But God, the chills this specific song gave me with its lyrics and Leonard's heavy, profoundly spiritual and bone-to the marrow-seductive voice! ❤
the best songs I've ever heard
Greetings to you mr Leonard Cohen ٨_٨
This song is a miracle
And suddenly the miracle is here, your naked voice. Thank a lot, maestro!
Da ascoltare a occhi chiusi! Voce stupenda! 🎶🎶🎶
Best song! 💞
Leonard Cohen is a legend and has a powerful voice
His music has helped me through some very dark times with my darkest thoughts , forever grateful ❤
The center point is the focus, 0,0 is the destination for the right man for the job. The wrong get left behind
Musica e voce straordinarie.
I feel so sorry for the new generation, they don't have idea how Leonard Cohen could help them become a better person with his music.
I am born in 2001
I have been listening Leonard for a long time
Only ehen student is ready, teacher will appear.
Да,его музыка,его голос,его глаза затрагивают лучшие струны души.
Don't worry, the miracle will come to them. Lenny is looking after this. :)
I’m 23, been listening to Leonard since was 7, 8 actually and this is my fave theme of all Tyme
I DIDN'T NEED TO WAIT - COZ BY GOD'S GRACE WE MET AND WERE IMMEDIATELY JOINED IN THE SPIRIT - THANK YOU DARLING - NOW AND FOREVER!
