    Leonard thank you for everything. For decades your lyrics and melodies are in my bloodstream. Your generosity and grace knows no bounds. Your anthem says it all, 'there is a crack in everything, that's where the light gets in.' Though you are gone, the light remains. In gratitude.

    That shot of Leonard just absolutely trancing out to the Webb Sisters' vocals always gets me. It just speaks volumes about both the man's humility and his veneration of beauty.
    Rest well, Leonard! We'll try to keep the candle burning!

    You could hear a pin drop during that song at every concert they did in those years - we were truly blessed to see him three times. Leonard was the best poet of the modern era, and whats more he perfected the union of poetry and song, of mind, heart and soul.

    Thanks. Every time I hear this beautiful "If It Be Your Will," tears fill my eyes. Beautiful. May the Lord be with the Webb Sisters, always: "The Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice!": Salve Regina.

    Almost impossible to pray at times. Church is the least place to find the Lord. These beautiful soft songs are my prayers to God. They help me to connect.

    I was so fortunate to take my mother to Leonard Cohen’s final/this concert tour.
    When the show was over she looked at me and said “Well, I guess that’s it”. I asked her what she meant and she replied “If I never see another live performance, I am satisfied’.
    She has since passed on. This song, and concert
    are etched in my heart and memory forever.

    If it be your will
    That I speak no more
    And my voice be still
    As it was before
    I will speak no more
    I shall abide until
    I am spoken for
    If it be your will
    If it be your will
    That a voice be true
    From this broken hill
    I will sing to you
    From this broken hill
    All your praises they shall ring
    If it be your will
    To let me sing
    From this broken hill
    All your praises they shall ring
    If it be your will
    To let me sing
    If it be your will
    If there is a choice
    Let the rivers fill
    Let the hills rejoice
    Let your mercy spill
    On all these burning hearts in hell
    If it be your will
    To make us well
    And draw us near
    And bind us tight
    All your children here
    In their rags of light
    In our rags of light
    All dressed to kill
    And end this night
    If it be your will
    If it be your will

    One of Canada's great treasures. He always draws in amazing artists to interpret his psalms and sonnets and secrets of life; the Webb Sisters are amazing. Surely, angels would stop in flight to listen. Thanks albertnoonan.

    I was at this, an incredible performance. I'm not a religious person but I certainly worshipped at Leonard's altar that evening. He was simply mesmerising, all the musicians were incredible, and, as you can hear, the Webb Sisters, along with Sharon Robinson, were angelic. So long Leonard old friend

    This is a beautiful song and lyrics
    written by a great Canadian Jewish artist who lived in a monastery as a monk where he
    didn't speak for a number of years After overcoming
    depression he has emerged as
    one if the greatest artists of our time. This song is more of a prayer
    and by the looks of things it has been answered
    Saw him in concert - it was perfection
    perfection

This time has been one in which I have been weak, but I have regained a lot of my real self. I will remember all you have said, inspirational words, kind comments and warnings.
