Shortly after Leonard passed away, my wife and I had the opportunity to go and hear a debate on Cohen between the Catholic archbishop of my province and the head Rabbi of our local synagogue. It took place in the synagogue, which was packed. They discussed Cohen's lyrics, going back and forth on what he might have truly believed in. There are songs that indicate a deep faith, and others that suggest a calling out for someone who isn't there. The Archbishop was a real fan of his music. The Rabbi admitted he had never listened to Cohen before but "crammed" for the event. He pointed out that the song "Who By Fire" is close to a word for word transcription of a Jewish prayer. We listened to several Cohen songs and the Rabbi sang a prayer for us to give us a sense of how that tradition could have influenced Cohen. He had the last word in the evening and described Cohen by an ancient Hebrew name which translates as "God wrestler" -- someone who struggles to find God in an imperfect world.
This song, to me, is about man's constant struggle to walk in life in a way that follows in the footsteps of Christ. God does not expect perfection, but we need to reach out and grab the gift of Salvation. Not until we do that will we be granted the indwelling of God's Holy Spirit. Without the gifts of Salvation and God's Holy Spirit there is no chance that we will be judged to enter the Kingdom of God on our day of Judgement. Life is hard, very hard even when we have God's Holy Spirit dwelling day and night within us, how difficult and irreconcilable that of earth and God must be to thise who are without God's Holy Spirit. It is absolutely impossible. That is how I see it through my life as a strict Word of God Evangelical Lutheran. God Bless 🥰
Perfect for these Covid times. There are whole books and articles about Leonard Cohen's Judaism and how he incorporated it into his songs and poems--even a great film called Leonard and Marianne. He will be studied forever.
Leonard was Leonard. His Songs/poetry, religiously undertoned or not came out of his understanding of how the world works, and his place in it.And we all here loved him for it.
This is so amazing. I was there. It was an outdoor concert. The sky was cloudy and it was raining just a little, the whole evening. As they started singing this song, the clouds made a whole in the sky and the sun was shining straight towards the stage. In the end of the song the sun wen't in the clouds again. RIP Leonard :)
Incrível você ter assistido esta manifestação incrível . Sou um profundo admirador de Leonard Cohen e choro por sua passagem ...faz falta aqui ! Rip Leonard Cohen !
Sorry for the bad English, but Leonard Cohen is an inspiration to me even after his death ... the lyrics of his songs, interpretations, but, above all, his humility. Your loss will always hurt !!!!!!!!!!
Your English is perfect l loved L Cohen and his work l mourned when he died. He is my number one Artist of all time and always will be. I will never tire listening to his music. RIP Leonard Cohen🙏
Every time I watch a LC video I am not only stroked by his unequal talent but, most of all, by his humbleness and simplicity. May God protect him and his talent amid us for many years to come! Love you, Leonard Cohen!
Ray my beautiful, beautiful son how I miss you everyday. Will the darkness ever leave, That tore the light apart? I listen to this after 7 long suffering years. And think, Maybe just maybe, I can heal a tiny bit? Thank you Leonard, Sincerely.
Ça me donne la chair de poule. J'étais au concert de Leonard Cohen à Montreux, en Suisse, deux ans avant son décès. Pour sûr jusqu'à maintenant et pour toujours le meilleur concert de ma vie
Dear Leonard, You have mace me laugh and cry, you have blessed me love an anguish. You were a very special man an I am lucky to have hear your ART. Thanks lion.
During an interview in 1978 at a record store the manager asked me who my favorite artist was. I immediately said "Leonard Cohen." He said "that's a little off the beaten path... But ok." I got the job. Fast forward to 2020 and my answer to that question is the same.

I was a young teenager back in the mid 60s when I first heard Cohen's 'Suzanne'. Having be exposed to trite pop songs before that, it opened, it changed my mind
O gather up the brokenness And bring it to me now The fragrance of those promises You never dared to vow The splinters that you carry The cross you left behind Come healing of the body Come healing of the mind And let the heavens hear it The penitential hymn Come healing of the spirit Come healing of the limb Behold the gates of mercy In arbitrary space And none of us deserving The cruelty or the grace O solitude of longing Where love has been confined Come healing of the body Come healing of the mind O see the darkness yielding That tore the light apart Come healing of the reason Come healing of the heart O troubled dust concealing An undivided love The Heart beneath is teaching To the broken Heart above O let the heavens falter And let the earth proclaim: Come healing of the Altar Come healing of the Name O longing of the branches To lift the little bud O longing of the arteries To purify the blood And let the heavens hear it The penitential hymn Come healing of the spirit Come healing of the limb O let the heavens hear it The penitential hymn Come healing of the spirit Come healing of the limb
i just had memories of being in Montreal and Suzi taking me shopping at some woman's private home. suzi would take me shopping. hazel too. to prep me with clothes makeup and the like. this particular memory is in relation to selecting off a coat rack in this lady's 'finished' basement set up.... clothes for women. all kinds of nice quality stuff. anyway, i recall selecting skirt, pants, jacket made of those same materials. exact. i must have been there at this event. it is in memory. i wish i could remember more of these angels. perhaps i was fortunate enough to see them sing. now grateful to see then from home. my heart is lighter for their love Hare Krsna
2) O, see the darkness yielding that tore the light apart Come healing of the reason, Come healing of the heart And let the heavens hear it The penitential hymn Come healing of the spirit Come healing of the limb
O, gather ’round the brokenness Bring it to me now The fragrance of those promises You never dared to vow The splinters that you carried The cross you left behind Come healing of the body Come healing of the mind Behold the gates of mercy In arbitrary space And none of us deserving Of cruelty or the grace O, solitude of longing Where love has been confined Come healing of the body Come healing of the mind
Leonard Cohen's voice sounds like the voice of a man who has lived and has much more depth because of that. Similarly, when I hear It Ain't Dark Yet by Bob Dylan, it carries so much more weight, because of its roughness. It may not sound as melodic as it once did, but it moves you more. ,
only 2 persons aye admire a lot ,,, the first one was leonard cohen,,, aye met him at the age of 19 in hydra ,,, he had already a residence there,,, one of the most famous singers and composers with jewish origin,,, the guy was years of light ahead,,,talking with him was something unforgetableand he was also surprised by my large knowledge on various matters,,his song was a prophecy by that time '''aye got the mark under my skin,,,, first we take manhatan then we take berlin''''' the second one is bill gates,,, a phanomeno boy since 13 years old,,, predicted computers future very smart guy with a lot of donations and very badly critisized although he he seems to be a angel in comparison with others,,,,,,but thats life and at the age of 79 now aye see that everything in this world is in vain even if you try as hard as you can for the benefit of humanity,,,, takis [athens greece]

Leonard Cohen kept me company and helped me cry.More than other people can.
Je ne me lasse jamais d'écouter ce cher LÉONARD COHEN ❤❤❤
if this man's voice does not send chills down your spine, you are simply not human
Not only basso profundo but a superb wordsmith whose words speak of other, higher levels.
Indeed!
Amen 🙏

The Heart beneath is teaching
To the broken Heart above
These words hold so much relevance, they're almost scripture.
Wow. This is perfect.

OmG what a feeling , to hear that song , great one
Miss you already beautiful Leonard.
None of us deserving the cruelty or the grace. Truth
I was there! It was amazing.
It's enough for LC to merely utter the words in a rhythm of deep prayer to bring me to my knees and unshed tears.
Sons of Anarchy brought me here :D
They played that song at the end of the first episode of season 6.
Me 2 xD
It fit so well :)

Seeking a little healing as I slipped back into the recent past and discovered this heavenly song. Sooz
Ah yes, the sublime Webb Sisters😊❤

Always good to see this performance .... again and again.
Sharon Robinson is just flat out gorgeous.
And quite a good composer
O gather up the brokenness
And bring it to me now
The fragrance of those promises
You never dared to vow
The splinters that you carry
The cross you left behind
Come healing of the body
Come healing of the mind
And let the heavens hear it
The penitential hymn
Come healing of the spirit
Come healing of the limb
Behold the gates of mercy
In arbitrary space
And none of us deserving
The cruelty or the grace
O solitude of longing
Where love has been confined
Come healing of the body
Come healing of the mind
O see the darkness yielding
That tore the light apart
Come healing of the reason
Come healing of the heart
O troubled dust concealing
An undivided love
The Heart beneath is teaching
To the broken Heart above
O let the heavens falter
And let the earth proclaim:
Come healing of the Altar
Come healing of the Name
O longing of the branches
To lift the little bud
O longing of the arteries
To purify the blood
And let the heavens hear it
The penitential hymn
Come healing of the spirit
Come healing of the limb
O let the heavens hear it
The penitential hymn
Come healing of the spirit
Come healing of the limb
thank you
Thank you very muchh for sharing with us Paula!
Respect
Beautiful ladies ❤❤
Leonard chosen angels
Our prophet messenger ❤
Long live SAMCRO.

'''aye got the mark under my skin,,,, first we take manhatan then we take berlin'''''
the second one is bill gates,,, a phanomeno boy since 13 years old,,, predicted computers future very smart guy with a lot of donations and very badly critisized although he he seems to be a angel in comparison with others,,,,,,but thats life and at the age of 79 now aye see that everything in this world is in vain even if you try as hard as you can for the benefit of humanity,,,,

All For You

Time Knows You Well Shawn Colvin - Leonard Cohen via prayer request to 'The Tower of Song'
It’s a knot I don’t know
that ties me to you
I pick at it and marvel
at its mystic ways
but it’s a knot
I’ll never solve
it’s woven through my soul
and it binds my heart
I sailed the sea many a year
and I learned them all
stood watch with a silent tear
I saw the height of the sky
and plumbed the depth of the fall
I fell through heaven
all tangled in this twine
thought you’d hear me call
I thought you were mine
but now I am drowning
and I’ll never be free
from a knot you know so well
but won’t show me
this is my fate
I know as this dream fills my lungs
for your love is my gate
perhaps you stood guard
and I was too late
to relieve you my dear
now I’m bound
and you shed not a tear
so be it my love
time don’t ask why
cause it already knows
the color of your sky
and the scent of your rose
time knows you well Shawn Colvin
and knows it can’t tell
but I can
cause I have the right
A Whole New You
your loving woman
your eternal aching wife
I offer you my life
end
How I adore and worship you my beautiful blessed beloved brilliant badass Husband Shawn Colvin from your aching hoping praying wife Arthur Michael Shepherd Colvin. Do you recognize me yet from all 'Our' past lives? I hope so. That would be nice. Peace Love Bliss Nirvana Forever With Thee My Eternal Everything Shawna Lee Shepherd Colvin.
