    Mr. Cohen was a tortured soul while here on Earth; suffering extreme prolonged bouts of depression. So, I sincerely say: Thank you for the beautiful music and rest in peace Leonard.

      Agreed. I could always relate to him because I feel the same way...a tortured soul.... I am a very reflective person, an idealist which makes it hard for me to be in this place call life..the planet.. Years ago I watched his DVD in Tibet, must have watched it 20+ times trying to gain understanding.. I often revisit his clips on his honest dialog about living with depression ... I trust that death is easier than living... living is hard.... Hope he is resting...

What one must do is determine for oneself what constitutes a "good voice". It's not just technical ability, it is primarily where that voice is coming from.

    Today, my uncle died.
    now how is this even relevant to L. Cohen? Leonard Cohen was his favorite singer. He had grown up in the hippy era, saw the rise of metal, the apparition of Edm, and many more. But none of these genres brought him to a blissful joy like Leonard Cohen did, when he discovered him a few years ago, following his stroke.
    He had become a frail man after that incident, but Cohen's music gave him so much joy in his painful life.
    he introduced me to Leonard Cohen, and now that he's gone, I now realise the amazing work this singer does.
    Thank you uncle Michel, thank you for everything and especially, thank you for making me rediscover Leonard Cohen.

    “ You see, I used to live alone before I knew you.” Even though I was raised to believe in God, I always had times in my life where I felt so alone. Then in 2003 at the time the war in Iraq began, I heard a sermon that finally took my heart and melded it with God. I finally recognized that I was never alone, at 44 I became fully born again. This verse of the song always brings tears to my eyes, along with the image of David writing Hallelujah’s, one of the most powerful words ever written. Praise Ja all you people.

      His original version in 1984 sounds different, but he kept working with it and found the song in time. This version is my favorite and better than the hundreds of covers that have been made. I believe most of those performers don't understand the real meaning. Leonard said this isn't a joyful song, but it comes from a sadder place with a certain amount of resilience to still rejoice even when the spirit is broken.

    The world has lost giant, a genius, and a fine man. Leonard Cohen, aged 82 passed away, apparently today. He was best known as a composer, but also wrote novels and numerous poetry collections.
    Most people will remember him popularly as the composer of this song, "Hallelujah", covered by many artists, and used in a number of popular films, including "Shrek", "Meet Joe Black", and television's "E.R.".
    For me, music I've enjoyed by a particular artist evokes the fond memories that come with the memory of that person, or others you enjoyed the music with, Leonard Cohen's rendition of "Hallelujah" with over 41 million views, a very popular rendition.
    Rest in peace and Shalom, Mr. Cohen, your music made me think of you as a friend, though we never met. You will live on in the memories of millions of people. The memory of you will be as a blessing for many.

    I doubt Leonard Cohen would be anything other than amused by all the debate about Judaism vs. Christianity. I think his great genius as a poet is the way in which he combines the religious and the secular in his metaphors and images. This "metaphysical" (ref. 17th century poets like John Donne) integration of the sacred and the profane relies first of all on his really intimate knowledge of the Hebrew bible. I have been a Cohen fan for as long as he's been around and I still am. Read some of the very early poems. Just brilliant. If you haven't watched k.d. lang singing this one, with him in the audience, I recommend it. Thank you, Mr. Leonard Cohen.

      @DeanRobertson1946 7 років тому +13

      100% agree. His words are wonderful. Who knows (or cares) what his religious beliefs are? But he is steeped in a tradition that values words and learning and has provided him with a bottomless supply of images which he uses to their best advantage. And I love his voice.

    When I heard that he was going on his “final tour” (ha ha) I got myself to Copenhagen. I even booked into the same hotel as his party. And one morning there he was sharing a coffee with his colleague. I rushed out to the nearest bookshop to get a copy of his latest book. As it happened there was a long line of people waiting to pay for their books (not Cohen’s). I was worried I would miss out on getting him to sign (back at the hotel). I yelled out “Excuse me, I need to get this book back for Leonard Cohen to sign”. Well, the crowd moved aside and applauded. They all loved Cohen. Most were in their 30s. I finally got back and sheepishly approached him. (My partner had already scalded me for invading his privacy). I apologised and introduced myself, explaining I had travelled from Sydney to be at his concert. I asked if he would sign the book for my daughter who was also a fan. THIS IS WHERE THE REAL COHEN SURFACED. He softly asked the name of my daughter. Then he took the book and settled it on the table, smoothing its pages flat. Slowly, he reached into his jacket for his fountain pen. Removing the cap, he looked up with a smile and asked the name of my daughter. He spelt it out to me to make sure. Then he commenced the artwork. He didn’t just write, he drew. The drawing was words but the art was in how he did it. You see, some art is not captured on paper or sculptures, or even performed. It is simply how you live. He gave me a spirit.

    There is a "God above", he is the Lord, and Hallelujah is the the Hebrew word meaning; Praise the Lord, as "Hallelu" is praise and "Jah" is the Lords name, Psalms 68:4.

      i just get annoyed by almost all covered versions making it into some religious version. But it is also pretty funny how they make it praise the lord she tied me to a kitchen chair version.

    • @wintherr3527
      @wintherr3527 7 років тому +15

      This song is particularly difficult to cover. This is not a typical standard song, with generic lyrics which can be sung by anyone with a generic Sinatra-like voice. THIS IS NOT POP MUSIC, even though this song is the closest to a popular hit song Leo has ever had. So, I'm not surprised at all by the tendecy to interpret this song as a religious track. In this way, the song becomes easier for the artist to sing and easier to digest by the audience.

    Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" is a song full of depth and ambiguity. With poetic metaphors, it explores the complexity of love and being human.
    It explores the highs and lows of interpersonal relationships. Romance and passion go hand in hand with disappointment and loss. Spiritual and biblical motifs reflect the search for meaning and transcendence.
    "Hallelujah" is an ode to the contradictory nature of our feelings - joy and pain, ecstasy and doubt. Cohen looks compassionately at our longings and our vulnerability.
    The song is an appeal to embrace life in all its facets. He invites us to face the darkness and yet sing of the light. From loss can come gratitude, from doubt can be born faith.
    The timeless resonance of "Hallelujah" lies in this multi-layered message. Every person can find something of their own in it, draw comfort and hope. A moving hymn to the beauty and pain of being human

    I often spend hours listening to my old friend, Leonard Cohen, his songs that deeply move me. I have followed his epic journey of inspiration all my life and I cannot convey what he means to me. I hope he does not mind me saying so, and I am sure he has contemplated this himself, he his getting on now and when his time comes to face his maker (although I am not sure if he believes in one) this will be a very sad day, as I will have lost one of my closest friends and a brother in spirit. I have no idea how we will all get on without him touching our lives, our souls and our hearts. On that day I shall hold a vigil in honour of a great, truly great man. Thank you Leonard for all that you have made me feel in my life, for indeed you have made me get in touch with myself in a profound and special way. I am not ashamed to say that I love you as my own brother as I love my son Elliott. Please listen to this song and understand what he is saying to us all, we all need someone to love.
