But they're hugely outnumbered by the thumbs uppers at about 30:1 so it's not so bad after all. It's hard to understand why anyone would dislike this. Probably Bieber fans. 😊
Actually, 42 as of right now. Thing is, there are other reasons for a thumbs down than disliking the song. 1) To say that it lacks energy is an understatement. 2) I don't like his guitar. 3) Lose the hat. 4) etc, etc. It is a great song, in every way, it's just not the greatest performance. Deserving of a Nobel? Sure, as good or better than anything of Dylan's. Point is, a thumb down doesn't have to mean the person disliked it. I particularly like his work from that time as he was one of the first to supply me with material for more serious guitar accompaniment. I quit pounding chords and started picking notes. Thank you Len.
@@amberearheart3326 I posted on a vlog recently asking folks to take a peek at Leonard cohens "picnic in the park" mini docu i often view it as i met him when i was 24 i am now 70 the guy was a true gent. hope ya take a peek ??
I have the great chance to hear Léonoard Cohen at its beginnings in Montpelleir university ( France) in 1970) ans after I've always listen ti this marvellous songwriter an poet... and his death was a tragedy for me
Although Leonard wasn't directly referring to the actual Sisters of Mercy, this song kinda describes them. They are good women committed to God they help the unfortunate ones orphans homeless etc.
Wont around my house and, I live on top of a small mountain, so all neighbours below shall never forget either. granny still rocking it. they must think some nut bag is at it, i go fromoldies, classical, new, Rap, especially my sons music, it rips through the gulley. I was once sent an anon letter saying whilst they love the music, could it stop before dawn, lol, 'Nah we had a full band up here, I write , mates make music, i cant sing but give me a drum set and a mic and i am going at it.
Wonderful! I didn't know that this song inspired Eldrich to name his wonderful band The Sisters Of Mercy! ❤ Triple love: for this song, for Leonard Cohen, and Sisters of Mercy wonderful band! ❤
I was truly honoured I meet the Montreal Sisters of Mercy in Dublin for Remembrance of Leonard Cohen 85 Birthday 21:9:2019 The main Theatre in Dublin full to the brim & Leonard's& Close Friend & Manager was with us we went back partied with some of cast Sisters & Manager (Red Needles ) Leonard Invented we drank At The House Hotel Party went on till 4 am , no I was in bed before Midnight but this even will always Remind me of this song Thank you Montreal for all you Gave to Us Mr. Leonard Cohen .
If ur not feeling holy: u feeling u sinned… I believe means: we no sinners. But when we know better/we feel very deeply when we fall. We r all of God: the universe. It’s alright. It is still alright. Just try to improve ur knowing.and try to do better.
My wife died.
He helped my grief.
So much.
How sad to see 30 thumbs downers on a masterpiece of soulfull beauty

@@DecanusLaeathlobha Lacks energy? Not the greatest performance? Really?
What do think is his best version then? Just wondering.
Those three have empty eyes

Savršeno,Doboj gdje živim,ima na fasadi jedne kuće sliku gosp.Cohena,predivno,kad prolazim,dođe mi da se naklonim.
May Mr. Cohen's music never die .

Leonard you were the best composer ever. Your music will live on forever. .... I am so grateful
His songs are like poetry and are like a comfort blanket to me.
Sometimes this song is the only thing telling me to hang on
Astonishing Leonard Cohen. An antidote to our modern life. Your voice will live on long
I first heard this 51 or 52 years ago when the late great John Peel introduced me to LC, still great after all these years
Me too! Leonard - Que hombre.👌✊
Wonderful! I didn't know that this song inspired Eldrich to name his wonderful band The Sisters Of Mercy! ❤ Triple love: for this song, for Leonard Cohen, and Sisters of Mercy wonderful band! ❤

The most eloquent exposition of mercy since Portia's great speech.
I miss him .
wonderfull human being
So beautiful.
Wonder of Leonard Cohen beautiful man beautiful soul..His music lives on pure poetry..RIP lovely man
Leonard, unico, inimitabile, un grandissimo poeta e scrittore !!!!
Only an Italian could express the wonder.
🙃 Ironically Cohen’s 👍 music used to be what my late parents listened to, and NOW I do!
A poet and song man of epic proportions
It just moves me to tears
Je le découvre et je suis carrément fascinée. Merci pour tout ce bonheur!
SUPEEER!!! Thank you Leonard!!! 👉❤👈🎵🎵. WONDERFUL!!! 🎶🎶🎶

A song Leonard wrote in Edmonton Alberta in 1966 at the Alberta Hotel. The two ladies still live in Edmonton and remain anonymous to this day.
The Sisters of mercy they are not departed or gone if your life seems needless they will bind you with love as green as a stem

Superbly moving and what a voice. WOW

Our anjan dutta made a master piece from the seed.
Andrew Eldritch loves it
Époustouflant !
Cok guzelsin net olsun ❤ bari kalabaliga gereksizlere gerek yoktur
I miss you....
We weren’t lovers like that and besides it would still be alright
You have nailed it.
We weren't lovers like that and besides, it would still be alright.
You have nailed it.
Cette voix sublime me tord a l intérieur a la première note....

Age sits well with him.

All right

Schön wie alle
👌❤️👌
YOU and me ........
This concert series sound way bettter than LP
💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
What year was this?
A beautiful definition of how prostitutes bring comfort to the broken hearted 😢❤
Who is this man ?
Also is this where Andrew's voice went?
Believe it or not , wasn't ' till I much older that I realised this song was about prostitutes, or about a love not required
He hung out with some femal fans. And ended up writing this song. He spoke about it at an interview.
That’s the truth/ holy lonely sin
Inimitabile. Ma anche i musicisti, Sharon e le sorelle webb
i was here
+1 from a place less than 20km from Hydra.
