If every human being experienced Leonard Cohen's music we might live in a better world. He was an amazing talent and mind. For those of us who have experienced him he will never be forgotten. We all must pass his legacy on to our children and make sure they do the same. RIP Leonard you were and still are a legend!
All this praise of the song, but did anybody actually watch the surreal video? Very cool! And the brutalist Montréal architectural masterpiece - Habitat 67 - as set location. Magnifique!
I’m 19 years old but Leonard Cohen is my favourite artist! It shall be one of my life goals to keep his music alive and spread it out to the younger generations.
Congratulations for tihs, Leonard's songs can be a very big trust and also pleasure to the most of emotions we have.. I found him even in the late 80s and was hooked from the first stroke.. ;)
Kada je gostovao u Puli, umjesto da je tražio mlijeko nigerijske patuljaste koze, jastuk s perjem kalifornijskog kondora ili pohovane kubanske žabe ( a tolika je veličina da ima svako pravo to i tražiti), taj čovjek je rekao da samo želi imati svoj mir. Otišao je jedan neshvatljivo jednostavan umjetnik, gospodin i čovjek koji je svojim opusom zalazio tamo gdje nitko nikada nije i neće, a na vrh je se popeo tako jezivo skromno i tiho. Ostali smo mu koješta dužni.
Cohen taps your deepest thoughts, lays them bare and reminds you just who you are beneath the civilised veneer. An absolute giant amongst lyric writers in any era.
Aaaahhh...a man after my own heart...a lyric man. Your description suggests a poet lying deep beneath of your veneer Mr. Painter. Find your way to Jasmine Lamport's songs and one called THE CHILD by an unknown band called Urban Seascape...happy to share some thoughts about Mr Cohen with you sir..and any other Leonard Cohen fans who feel drawn to good, hearty conversation...the subject of Leonard would be cool.
I regard Leonhard Cohen as the great North American philosopher of the last 1/2 of the 20th century and Will Roger for the first 1/2. Your thoughts. John M Keynes may have had the most influence with his monetary theory but Leonhard and Will touched the souls of many more!
Oh my god, I probably never felt so good listening to a song since I was 14 and now I’m 27. Thank you “your honor” tv show for letting me discover this song. Just wow
I play this song for my sister Tammy who passed away 3 years ago. This was ger favorite Leonard Choen song. This is for you sissy. Maybe Leonard is singing this song for you whereever you are. I love you ❤
Odszedł mistrz nastroju....Dziękuję Panie Cohen że miałem to szczęście żyć w czasach gdy tworzyłeś i dawałeś nam swoją muzykę. Był to dla mnie zaszczyt .
Leonard Cohen had the ability to touch your heart, its like he knows what is in your heart and sings to you, telling you things only you know, gone now but not forgotten.
This song is a time machine! Such a great track. I love his poetry also. My parents got to see him in concert, despite his songs generally sounding sad they said he was so warm to the crowd and did repeated encores. I’m jealous, but the fact they were fans meant I got to listen in the car as a child. So now whenever I hear this song, it reminds me of being in the car when my family were all still together, going on some long distance trip. I would sit in the back seat looking out at the scenery around me, watching the sunset turn into a starry blanket. I would be silent with everyone else asleep apart from my dad driving. It was so peaceful. I had my whole life ahead of me and not a care in the world. Love how songs can be like a time machine. I hear it and can hardly believe where the years have gone. Now I’m 31, family all gone our own paths and this wonderful artist has passed, yet it feels like no time has passed. Thankyou Mr Leonard Cohen. May you forever rest in peace reunited with Marianne.
This world for generations before and to come, will miss you Mr. Cohen. My wish is that now you are not alone in your secret life but have brought your wondrous gift to all above.
That’s very wise of you !! I can resonate with you so much ! I used to feel so overwhelmed with my intense , sad feelings and those thoughts about afterlife would make me feel sad and so on .. now I am at peace with all these emotions , even if I have to feel very sad but I believe it’s important to sit with your feelings and tell yourself that every emotion is special and important ! We are actually much more than our feelings , we are our higher consciousness, we are all that is 👀
Oh Leonard you had a long life, you said you were ready to die a few weeks ago and I thought " I am not ready for you to leave" I loved you. Thank you for everything ❤❤ May your soul rest in peace you deserve that and more.
His Soul was already in Peace, he Smiled so fully when he said he was ready to die.. Whatever happened in + around that monastery experience sorted something permanently in him :) He said he was no longer seeking...
Amor aún no llegas pero te sigo esperando... Las veces que siempre te fuiste yo siempre quise que no te fueras😟. Aun te extraño y sigo con el mismo sentimiento que la última vez porfa marcame quiero saber si aun hay algo que pueda recuperar de aquel amor olvidado 💛
i was an awkward gangly, redhaired and red-freckled , be-speckled teenager ,just out of boarding school in the mid 70's with no idea how to chat up girls ....thank you Leonard ...you saved my skin and did all the wooing for me .......your lyrics and incredible voice will haunt me until I too pass on
best ever concert in Sydney Opera House when Leonard was 79 years old.. even the attendant - aged about 30 - said the best concert he had ever heard.--on our way out with prompt. wow
I think I was there.. it was magnificent, it was radiant, it was transcendent.. simply sublime. Thankyou for being there to share such a beautiful moment with me
Every song I have heard this man sing, I absolutely love. All are my favorite. He was a gift to the world, a gift that will never stop giving. RIP you beautiful soul.
Unfortunately they don't give prizes to our true poets. Our true poets do all they can their entire lives and they die for the truth in their secret lives
This man was an absolute genius. His mind is hard to comprehend. And what his music touches parts of my souls I didn’t even know existed. Just unreal. I’m a poet, and a pretty damn good one I’ve been told. I don’t need to be told, it’s obvious. When I read one of my poems, it don’t mater how many times I’ve read it I’m always amazed that came out of me. I don’t even know where it comes from or how it happens. Everyone is truly affected when they hear one. I’ve come from trauma and pain and serious addiction. Needles, meth, heroin, morphine, coke, crack, you name it I’ve been addicted to it for twenty five years. Three years clean now. I guess that’s where the poetic words come from, my journey out of the darkness. It was my healing journey in poem form. But this guys a poetic genius as well as musical genius. I wish I had that much depth and wisdom and heart and soul. Just reading the comments it’s refreshing to know how people who truly understand what meaningful music is, are also very very deep and intelligent people. You guys, just wow. A whole bunch of deep poetic genius’ yourselves. Love being a part of this kind of community. Even if it’s just online with strangers, it matters. Thanks for your music Mr. Cohen and thanks to your fans for obvious reasons. Almost forgot, this is my favourite song in the world. It’s the greatest song ever written and preformed. Every single person needs to turn out the lights and close their eyes and listen to this on a beautiful system. I mean really listen. I can’t imagine a human being not affected by this. I wouldn’t want to know anyone who isn’t.
How does this man do it every time i think i find the best of his work i discover a new song that goes so deep into me and reflects my life so much wish i had discovered him earlier think he would have changed me for the better ah well hes doing it now so perhaps not to late Leonard Cohen you are a remarkable Dude will follow your work for the rest of my days god bless you man
+nick taylor that's some comment....... any friend/ true admirer of LC is a friend to the world ... yes ive loved his songs for 30+,years they never fade .and he gets better ...although still think his best album was the first......but how could you beat it ?
+nick taylor I only found LC in the last couple of years. I'm still discovering everything and keep going back to my favorites. No other artist has ever touched me like he does. I've had times where I'm just lying in the dark listening to him, and literally cry because it's just so beautiful. I love his voice and his words, but the music itself - the singing of the violin, the harmonies of his voice with the ladies (especially Sharon, her voice is so incredible), it's like the music itself takes me on a journey. I can't describe it, but I think only other fans can really know how it feels. It's unlike anything else. There is literally nothing else, nobody else, like him. :)
1 year ago I lost someone very close to me he was like the dad I never had growing up and he would have been 54 today I miss you every day. I can't express how hard it's been and the fact that I meet him for the first time at his funeral was heartbreaking. This was his favourite song and from now on I will listen to it on his Birthday evrey year rest in peace Jeremy.
Thank you Leonard. Your music has been with me through the darkest parts of my life and the better one. I will always remember that "there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in". RIP
@ Hi ! , hope you’re having a beautiful day,How is the weather condition over there with you and your households,I like the song keep doing great Job stay bless hope to hear from you soon.
I had the pelasure to watch him perform live im Portugal,MEO Arena a couple of years ago and it eas on of he best moments in my miserable life,what a joy and a such a beauty to listen to his voice,he died the same year and the same age as my dad and i wil always remember Mr Cohen ,always,hopefully he and my dad are having lots of fun,god bless dad and cohen
Who writes poetry like this? "I smile when I'm angry, I cheat and I lie, I do what I have to, To get by, But I know what is wrong, And I know what is right, And I'd die for the truth, In my secret life" Such a well experienced human emotion, described in a way that is almost unreal. If God needed a lyricist, Leonard Cohen would be the man!
I don't know how many of you know that Leonard Cohen was, (not surprisingly), an accomplished poet. Here is one of his poems that I adore entitled "My Mother Asleep": remembering my mother at a theater in Athens thirty thirty-five years ago a revue by Theodorakis those great songs she fell asleep in the chair beside me in the open-air theatre she had arrived that day from Montreal and the play started close to midnight and she slept through the mandolins and the great songs I was young I hadn't had my children I didn't know how far away your love could be I didn't know how tired you could get
My mother and father loved him. My daughter and her husband loves him. I love him. What's his secret to be loved through generations ? I think...sincerity.
A true professional. A public philosopher. Like former generations' Plato, Socrates... Current generation's Christopher Hitchens, Chris Hedges...😷🙏🌞🐝🐝💐
Ho imparato la gentilezza quasi come un mestiere verso gli estranei anche quando sono triste o rancorosa....forse perche' ho capito..che tutti siamo nella stessa barca anche gli stronzi..o forse perche' a me basta una canzone del genere per fare pace almeno per un po' con la mia anima!!😌
I've discovered this amazing man, his words move me like no others can do.....how I wish I'd found him before, I've missed soooo much ....Thank you Mr Cohen x
@ Hi ! , hope you’re having a beautiful day,How is the weather condition over there with you and your households,I like the song keep doing great Job stay bless hope to hear from you soon.
Leonard, your mind, soul, and heart have given us such remarkable insight into every aspect of the human experience. you are a giant among an Era of so much empty sound and shallow lyrics. your music and words have found that miraculous balance. you who touched our hearts shall be so missed.
Rythian Black Leonard Cohen most certainly did believe in God! What are you stupid? Or you just don't pay attention? SO MANY of his songs are about GOD. If you misunderstood the songs you can watch the interviews about each individual song and hear from Leonard Cohen's own mouth what his songs are about!!! His final album he sang YOU WANT IT DARKER. Listen to the words. He is telling GOD Hineni I'm ready My Lord. (Here I am. I am ready.) Also he was a direct descendant of Aaron. He was Jewish but he TRIED HARD to learn and understand other religions.☮️☮️🖤🌹
I am only now capable of listening to you Leonard I tip toed back to you through various artists only because it was so painful to accept you were gone I first heard you in Bavaria in 88 To say you have been with me ever since is a understatement Now my children have you My daughter marianne who is only 11 lys with your music every night Thank you 🙏 🙏🙏
This song came out when I was a child, and whenever I hear it I feel like I'm 5-6 again. This song makes me miss the times I don't even fully remember.
To me this song is very much like the song The ROSE by Beth Midler; the pain of love any the mundane of every day life; Witch Pain hurts the most? The Secret Life we have; or the Thorn of Love that cuts to the Bone?
Cette chanson me fais me sentir tellement bien et en sécurité que quand je ne vais pas bien je l'écoute et tout va mieux^^ . Milles merci Mr. Cohen ! Milles merci aux musiciens et aux choristes également !
It's hard for me to put into words why I love Leonard Cohen. Probably everything. He was what I imagine to be the ideal man and human being in general. He brought a lot of love and happiness to the world. Left something beautiful behind. I want to live the same way.
If every human being experienced Leonard Cohen's music we might live in a better world. He was an amazing talent and mind. For those of us who have experienced him he will never be forgotten. We all must pass his legacy on to our children and make sure they do the same. RIP Leonard you were and still are a legend!

Hello Elaine
He is a symbol of the human soul.
Leonard made me realise instead of running away from my misery it is ok to just sit with all of it and make peace with it.
Suffering is meant to break your existing condition and ultimately to make you the sinner, thereby covering up the guilt of the initiator.
For me that song is Tacoma Trailer❤️🩹
That’s very wise of you !! I can resonate with you so much !

"I smile when I'm angry,
I cheat and I lie,
I do what I have to,
To get by,
But I know what is wrong,
And I know what is right,
And I'd die for the truth,
In my secret life"
Such a well experienced human emotion, described in a way that is almost unreal.

thirty-five years ago
a revue by Theodorakis
those great songs
she fell asleep
in the chair beside me
in the open-air theatre
she had arrived that day
from Montreal
and the play started
close to midnight
and she slept through
the mandolins
and the great songs
I was young
I hadn't had my children
I didn't know how far away
your love could be
I didn't know
how tired you could get
Time to rest Mr Cohen... Thank you for your marvellous music.
Anna E D 👍👍👍👍

Happy Birthday, dear Leonard Cohen!
🎸🎙🎶♥️🎂🥂🌟
R.I.P Leonard Cohen, you were such a Canadian Treasure/ poet thanks for being in my life since I was child. Miss you dearly!
Голос, музыка притягивают как магнит. Чудесное исполнение
My mother and father loved him. My daughter and her husband loves him. I love him. What's his secret to be loved through generations ? I think...sincerity.
the truth
WISDOM
He’s Leonard........what more needs to be said
Authenticity…☝️AND sincerity 😊
A true professional. A public philosopher. Like former generations' Plato, Socrates...
Current generation's Christopher Hitchens, Chris Hedges...😷🙏🌞🐝🐝💐
I miss you so much Mr. Leonard! In My Secret Life!
I see him last time before he die and it was one of my favorite concert ever....
Ho imparato la gentilezza quasi come un mestiere verso gli estranei anche quando sono triste o rancorosa....forse perche' ho capito..che tutti siamo nella stessa barca anche gli stronzi..o forse perche' a me basta una canzone del genere per fare pace almeno per un po' con la mia anima!!😌
I've discovered this amazing man, his words move me like no others can do.....how I wish I'd found him before, I've missed soooo much ....Thank you Mr Cohen x
@ Hi ! , hope you’re having a beautiful day,How is the weather condition over there with you and your households,I like the song keep doing great Job stay bless hope to hear from you soon.
Leonard, your mind, soul, and heart have given us such remarkable insight into every aspect of the human experience. you are a giant among an Era of so much empty sound and shallow lyrics. your music and words have found that miraculous balance. you who touched our hearts shall be so missed.
May God rest his soul in peace and give us the strength to bear this irreparable loss.
Com certeza amigo.

He wasn't a believer in God. In fact he resented the idea of him.
Pierre LeDouche A very nice comment. BTW. I love your name😂. ♥️☮️
Rythian Black Leonard Cohen most certainly did believe in God! What are you stupid? Or you just don't pay attention? SO MANY of his songs are about GOD. If you misunderstood the songs you can watch the interviews about each individual song and hear from Leonard Cohen's own mouth what his songs are about!!! His final album he sang YOU WANT IT DARKER. Listen to the words. He is telling GOD Hineni I'm ready My Lord. (Here I am. I am ready.) Also he was a direct descendant of Aaron. He was Jewish but he TRIED HARD to learn and understand other religions.☮️☮️🖤🌹
I am only now capable of listening to you Leonard
I tip toed back to you through various artists only because it was so painful to accept you were gone
I first heard you in Bavaria in 88
To say you have been with me ever since is a understatement
Now my children have you
My daughter marianne who is only 11 lys with your music every night
Thank you 🙏 🙏🙏
Ten New songs is my favourite of L. Cohen. ❤
So good and fine lyrics.
I loved this song when I was little, but I coulnd't remember the title or words. It took me almost 17 years to find it . I'm much more than happy.
This song came out when I was a child, and whenever I hear it I feel like I'm 5-6 again. This song makes me miss the times I don't even fully remember.
Thank you Mr Cohen
To me this song is very much like the song The ROSE by Beth Midler; the pain of love any the mundane of every day life; Witch Pain hurts the most? The Secret Life we have; or the Thorn of Love that cuts to the Bone?
Za tuto píseň děkuji svému kocourkovi. Děkuji kocourku. Tvoje K.
What a voice ..and the melodies.....top . Absolutely the top
Какой бархатный бас, а какая лирика , душу греет невероятно!
Cette chanson me fais me sentir tellement bien et en sécurité que quand je ne vais pas bien je l'écoute et tout va mieux^^ .
Milles merci Mr. Cohen ! Milles merci aux musiciens et aux choristes également !
It's hard for me to put into words why I love Leonard Cohen. Probably everything. He was what I imagine to be the ideal man and human being in general. He brought a lot of love and happiness to the world. Left something beautiful behind. I want to live the same way.
Dobar "stari" Leonard....SAVRŠENSTVO bez presedana...
Počivaj u miru❤
