Something I noticed watching the videos of his live performances is the great respect he had for his audience and even more his respect for the musicians with him on stage. Truly a humble gentleman.
@@sirhana Interesting. I'm 57 yrs old and I just discovered him a month ago. I haven't been able to find a really comprehensive biography of him. I would like on that is objective and not trying to push their own idea of who he was. He is such a sexy man, whether old or young. The lyrics of his songs are amazing, I think I appreciate the older man myself.
I love that his Ultimate Statement - his autobiography in song - is played on a rubbish little keyboard rather than a symphony orchestra. Impeccable understatement. And the smile after his solo is as delightful as it gets. And Doo-dum-dum becomes a mantra by the end.
A poet, a truly gentle soul, a man with so much grace - he will live forever through his amazing gifts of words and music. I am grateful for the decades of this humble genius.
Indeed,he is everything you mentioned. I was fortunate to see him in concert two times with friends in Chicago, and now, in my mid 60's, they stand as my greatest experiences ever witnessed!
@@tomfrascina5846 I find his humor refreshing in light of his often glaringly truthful lyrics. They balance it somehow. He's able to show a humane side of himself through the humor that tells us we're all flawed, but everything is going to be okay somehow. If we don't have his experiences in common, we can at least laugh at ourselves together. Hard to explain.
A genius who has given so much to the world: beautiful songs, a poetry that touches hearts deeply, an unbelievable chorus, an unpaired voice. Thanks a lot, Leonard, for all your kind songs that heal those who suffer or are seriously fond of someone.
I've been a Tom Waits fan for several years, and Ken Nordine as of the past few months. I just found this amazing man (for context i just turned 24) I've never been so at peace listening to someone. He has inspired me to write music again after a 5 year hiatus. His smile and voice are a literal gift from God.

Well, welcome to the club buddy. At least we still have Tom Waits left. We are all love Nordie, Cohen and of course Waits. Take your time buddy. Love far from Indonesia.
I have to stop watching concert videos with Leonard. I run out of tears. And it hurts so much. It‘s sweet pain, but it hits you straight and center. What great legacy you left Leonard!
I'm 66 and ashamed to say that I've only just discovered Leonard Cohen. I feel like I've wasted my life. His music and words are so beautiful, I'm in tears each time I watch.
You don't know how many french people are in love with Leonard's poetry ! I have been listening to him in the last sixties and I never stop till Leonard's death. More than 50 years are gone from "Songs of a Room" and I still listen to him. I can't live without his songs. Je traduis pour les français : vous ne pouvez pas savoir combien de Français adorent le poésie de Leonard. J'ai commencé à l'écouter à la fin des années 60 et j'ai continué jusqu'à sa mort. Plus de 50 ans se sont écoulés depuis " Songs of a Room" et je l'écoute toujours. Je ne peux pas vivre sans ses chansons.
Me too. It is the only music that I would take with me if I had to be in solitary confinement/desert island. It would take me years to listen and study. Just wonderful.
Yes. When he charmingly thanks the audience with "You're very kind," it elicits even more applause. I am lucky to have seen him in a small club many years ago.
It is an absolutely fabulously amazing honor to have been on this planet at the same as Leonard Cohen. i too am living in the tower song now....my friends are gone....and my head is grey- and i ache.... love you Leonard. 💞💞💞
He loves his own songs. That's why they're performed with such depth each and every time. He's so proud of his catalog of work, of words, like pearls strung together hand-picked with care. Aw, see! He brings the poet out in all of us!
I'm Crazy for Leonard Cohen AND I am not scared to listen to that golden voice!!!! I am standing by the window where the light is strong much love to all fans!
I was at this concert in London, and it was really a great concert! He was in a very good shape, and he had a lot of fun. Leonard is the the perfet combination between poetry and music. A legend!
Leonard was so amazing. On his 2008 concert in Amsterdam I saw him live for the first time after having loved his songs for about 30 years already. It was somehow quiet in between two songs and I shouted from the bottom of my heart: "Leonard, I love you!" He so gently laughed and smiled in my direction, I was deeply touched and still am. As many of you may know, Leonard was a Virgo. And so was my beloved dad. Leonard died at age 82. So did my dad some years later. Leonard passed away on a 7th. And, yes, so did my dad this year, in January 2020...
Alexander Gottwald I really appreciated your story, it must have been such a strong emotion, i’d like to thank him for what he has done as you had the luck to do. On January 7th 2020 I turned 20
You will speak forever to humanity from your window, in the Tower of Song. And yes, you were born with the gift of the Golden Voice. Thank you for sharing it. Rest in peace great soul.
My grandfather passed away in 2020 and this is one of those things i whish i had shown him. He is like my first real sad lost. Everytime i see or appreciate something genious i think about him. Leonard makes me think bout him a lot . He may had not liked leonards music but that would just had made me more proud. He didmt have to agree with every single popular cultural thing
I got to shoe him dance with me to the end of love with that UA-cam video that has some scent of woman's clips. The movie reference was a hook for him that time 😂
Leonard has been my main man for practically all my life. Like many of us I'm sure, I have loved him and will carry on doing so adfinitum. He has left the world with his prophetic wisdom, in nearly every line of his songs , literature and poetry. How honoured we all are to have this wealth of knowledge and so much beauty. 'Oh lucky me' Love & Light to all my kindred spirits. Kim Robertson.
This concert - seems like a genius refined to his pure metal, carved down to his absolute essence and he generously pours it out for us in perfect amounts.
I remember being there, in London, and thinking when he says golden voice, I'm gonna scream and I don't care if I'm the only one doing it... Amazing, was not the word, when everyone did it..
Leonard Cohen es irrepetible, su elegancia, su sencillez, su sobria y limpia sonrisa, su voz profunda, su hondo sentimiento, sus coros, sus músicos... Leonard Cohen fue un magnífico y fecundo poeta, un compositor genial, un intérprete simpar y un ser humano UNICO. Adoraba y adoro sus canciones, me aportan tanto que estaré eternamente agradecido a este mensajero de meditaciones y reflexiones tan elevadas. Gracias MAESTRO COHEN
Tu m'as toujours bercé depuis plus de 45 ans. Tu es parti, mais tu es là dans nos têtes. You've always rocked me for over 45 years. You left, but you are there in our heads.
Hypnotic. Such charisma and intelligence and all of it wrapped up in that sly wit. Some think his work is down beat or even depressing but some don't have the ears to listen.
Le plus grand poète qui met sa poésie dans toutes ses chansons ...Nous sommes reconnaissants à ce poète car il dépasse tres fort la musique de nos jours!
"There will always be someone who claims to be above us. In reality, we are all paying our rent on the same floor in the Tower of Life." 💙 Leonard stands centre stage!!!
Leonard Cohen was part of my life from the 60's to his death and beyond! I fell in love with his music when I bought the album "The songs of Leonard Cohen" I continued to buy up to "You want it Darker" RIP old friend
I passed on seeing Leonatd Cohen when he was in Boston because the tickets were $250. What a missed opportunity, the show was clearly priceless. Regrets, I have a few.
That's an insane amount of money for a ticket though. I passed on one of his concerts too because I didn't have the money, but I have no regrets. He's still amazing. I don't need to see all of my heros.
Thank you Goran! It was an amazing healing journey. I´m so grateful. The scanning of my body was done. Then we went for the hill. I could see all was dressed in light clothes. They gathered around. Goran told me to take his hand, I suddenly became very short. I was myself as a one-year old. She wanted to become visible. My stomach started to hurt from old feelings of sorrow and loneliness. We stopped and listened to the feelings. My older self, took the toddler by the hand and Goran hold her other hand. We started to walk uphill. It was a joyful walk. My mother and father came up behind to join the march, the little one let go of my hand and went to them to get hugs. Tears of joy and the little one was very happy. I lifted her in my arms and we continued. On top of the hill I sat down by a fire. The guides and helpers were around. I didn´t have any questions so I asked if they had some advice. The elder Indian, south-american with wrinkled dry skin held the talking-stick, looked into my eyes, smiled and nodded. A rush of love went through me. So incredibly warm, tears of joy started to fall. I wanted to give the man a gift for his help, so I gave him my necklace. The old Indian with long white hair and a long robe in light grey held the gift, and then returned it to me. The other helpers were also very tall, guessing about 2 meters wore grey robes with hoods, so I couldn´t see their faces. Time to go back; I bowed to the helpers in gratitude. The little one ran to mother and father so the forgiving was completed. I hugged them too; it was so nice to see them as they were before in their 50-ies. - Lets run down the hill! Goran said. We started to run hand in hand and the little one on my hip. All of sudden we took flight. With arms stretched as wings we flew downhill and all was so happy. We made a little war-dance on the ground of pure joy.
Council of the Archangels, even called the advisors of Gud,the Allmighty We are allowed speaking to you the coming 10 days, and we have the order tohand over instructions for your coming future. It is up to you to follow or not, and how you implement these instructions. Use your free mind and your spititual wisdom as an advisor. More will follow! We want you to review our sayings. Blessings will follow!In love,the Council Instruction 1 Believe!If visible or not, if touchable or not, if powerful or not - believe. And trust. The trust is the most powerful of all tools the spiritual human nature has to itsrelizing. Trust yourself. You are real. Trust your spirit and nature. They are real and waiting for your human doubt to catch up. Burn old bridges, when not passable. Trust Gud, the Angles and the good intentions of your life. You live the life of your choice - to learn and to grow. 2 Use your WISDOM because you are much older than you can believe and imagine. Many times you crossed the sky and the earth, and long times you existed in heaven, the extended way of reaching maturity. So you know much more than you live. So you say less than you carry. So you love tinier than you want. Live rich. Live true. Live according your grown up, old and wise spirit. Talk clear and loudly - in human way Speak a prayer to God - and He will hear you Be wise - love and give and embrace the world. We are with you -always. You are our brother and child. We know you! 3 Dignity Be dignity! Live dignity! Defense dignity! Be example! You live the heritage of your fathers, grandfathers, and grandgrandfathers. You are the result of your spiritual existence over the time of eternity. You are - and you will be. God by himself reaches out His hand and He asks you to stand up and to walk freely. Nothing else should be as it was All is new. See the brighten daylight, and as it turns on you life shall be a new one. All about your thoughts your feelings your opinion about yourself. Now - and from now on - be dignity. God and the entire universe loves you, Göran Skönvall! 4 Joy Be joy! Feel yoy! Give joy and take joy! Whatever happens - feel your breathing your wide open senses your golden heart. Let this golden heart shine out and in to lighten up mind and soul. Be connected with your spirit in joy. Whatever happens or disappear or get neglected allow nothing and nobody to steal your joy! Love! 5 Peace Peace Peace Peace meditate on peace everyday - to keep the trust the stability the love. Peace may be in heaven and on earth in your inner heart chambers in your soul and in your life. You are the gardener of peace, love, happiness! 6 Forgiveness To reach the peace, the joy, the happiness you have to forgive! Forgiving is beautiful. Forgiving is to release to give free to forget. Forgiving makes possible the new beginning. Forgive your parents and their believings. Forgive those you let you down. Forgive those who were not able to love. Forgive the one who heart you. Forgive the one without believings. Forgive the darkness, it made you see. Forgive the lonliness, it made you miss the feelings. Forgive the pain, the blaming, the sorrow, for all of them lead you now to choose happiness. And finally - forgive yourself. Be free! 7 Patience Be patient. Spread patience. Talk patiently. No hurry will give you more happiness or let you reach your goals faster. Unpatience will leave you exausted and tired. Patience gives strength and power. Teach this! Everything will come in time. 8 Cleaning A tired soul and a tired heart leaves the body exhausted. No wonder why! Let the soul breath out all dust. Let the heart cry out all sadness the eyes have seen the heart has felt. Let the eyes clean themselves. And heart will be light again. Give the body space for breathing, for resting and collect the power of a recovered will. Then the wheel of power will work again. And your heart filled with new hope and your soul extending to reach spirit and the universe! Love forever! 9 Happiness Happiness is to live. Breathing smiling seeing the nature. The air is dedicated to humans to breath to grow to lift up the spirit to higher levels. Air is happiness. So - happiness is light makes humans light gives light! How happy you are, Göran, depends on how much air you breath how many times per day you smile how carefully your awareness is reading the nature the humans the true values. Let your spirit grow and become wise in calmness. Spread all wisdom of your spirit out to the longing people. All of that is happiness. Happiness is to take part in the adventure of the trees of growing spirits to a whole forest - to let the earth breath! Happiness is breathing! Breath out and breath in Happiness! 10 Completion Nothing is ever complete perfect finished. All is under creation. But happy are those who continue building for themselves and others. This is what all of us do. You on earth and we in spirit. One family - one goal! Liberation! And you brother Göran
Yes in flesh you are not with us yet in spirit you are living forever and comforting generation after generation. Angels like you reign everlasting. We can’t even feel we miss you ever awesome Leonard 👼💕
I lost track of Leonard Cohen in the 80s, but then I heard this number on the radio, and it knocked my socks off. An artist who kept on growing ! Miss him.
A joyful cemetery near me has a monument with the carving I’ll see you again in the Tower of Song. Leonard touched so many lives even after their death. Wonderful man.
G Leonarda je Bogom dan onima koji slušaju svoje srce u njegovim stihovima uz njegov predivan glas i riječi koje u dušu ulaze i osjetiš i sjeti i radost i tugu i ljubav Hvala g Leonard
Pure art, talent no doubt, he give and share he s soul so my soul can go on to live, he bring s this performance with humor and strong charisma; i m speechless and i adore his voice, thank u.
Something I noticed watching the videos of his live performances is the great respect he had for his audience and even more his respect for the musicians with him on stage. Truly a humble gentleman.
Yea, he changed after 10 years with buddism... But in 60s was not so much good human...
You are SO right, Ann!

I saw him in 1980 at a time when I went to many concerts. He was outstanding, he was my greatest memory of that time. He was unique.
@Zolar Czakl I will! Thank you very much!
I am turning 50 this summer. The older i get, the more relevant these songs become. I love this great man. I listen to him.
Same with me.
Maybe its because HE had KNOW .
:)
Do dumb
I’m 70 and have been listening to Leonard since I was 11 years old!
Love you
❤🫂♥️ Same here, my friend
I come back to this video every time I need my soul soothed, and comforted.
I am never disappointed.
Doing that now...
Same here.
I love that his Ultimate Statement - his autobiography in song - is played on a rubbish little keyboard rather than a symphony orchestra. Impeccable understatement. And the smile after his solo is as delightful as it gets. And Doo-dum-dum becomes a mantra by the end.
The late, the great, the one and only Leonard Cohen - miss you Leonard
Da fehlt mir... Leonard Cohen 6:03 ❤
Absolutely
A poet, a truly gentle soul, a man with so much grace - he will live forever through his amazing gifts of words and music. I am grateful for the decades of this humble genius.
Amen

So true ! What else to say ? Amen ...
CHE MAGIA. LA SUA GENTILEZZA NON ANDRÀ MAI FUORI MODA..
I am started to listen him to learn English and finally I learn to love him
Sometimes UA-cam would need more than 1 like button for this kind of music !!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That reaction - from audience and from Leonard - to the 'golden voice' line is peak humanity.
It's his humor, and they get it. He is the funniest songwriter in ages. An old group called 10cc were funny as well.
@@kathryn3390 His introduction to this song always makes me laugh
@@tomfrascina5846 I find his humor refreshing in light of his often glaringly truthful lyrics. They balance it somehow.

Golden voice. Genius word master and poet, exquisite musician. Amazing human.
My love has most acutely been felt better his voice/poetry...oh Leonard, thank you for all you have us.
I cannot bring to mind anyone today who can even get close to the tremendous charisma and ability of Leonard, absolutely spell binding.
True indeed. His songs touch a depth in me that hurts.
Amen
Totally agree...incredible human being
Đorđe Balašević. The guy with more charisma, better songwriting, universal lyrics apply..
The only problem - the world didn't understand his language.
Inigualável e Irrepetível! In english: never will be no one like him!
He Was Born With That Golden Voice. Shalom Sir.
Thank you x
For a guy who didn't always have a ready smile during periods of his life, I'm so happy it came easily at the end. Loved his sense of humor.
A wonderful soul a beautiful soul
A genius who has given so much to the world: beautiful songs, a poetry that touches hearts deeply, an unbelievable chorus, an unpaired voice. Thanks a lot, Leonard, for all your kind songs that heal those who suffer or are seriously fond of someone.
To say nothing of his charm and the way his eyes light up when he smiles. An incredible man. Unique.

I first saw Leonard in 1972 on the Isle Of Wright.. my kindred spirit.
He may have been born with a golden voice but he turned it into something much more precious. Thank you, Mr Cohen.
I love his reference and respect for Hank Williams Sr
It is an absolutely fabulously amazing honor to have been on this planet at the same as Leonard Cohen.

He was never confident in his voice and loved other performers to cover his work as he mistakenly (in my opinion) thought they performed it better.
My friends are not gone Leonard is with me on screen and in my soul.
Apart from all his deep poetry he is also so full of lighthearted humour. Thank you, dear man.
The Tower of Song is a perfect song that towers above many others.

Be on the lookout for brilliant artists. They don't come around often. What a jokester too boot
I get goose bumps whenever I watch his videos. In the 60 and 70s I could listen to his songs by radio only.
To paraphrase, "We are still hearing from you, Leonard, long after you're gone." Thank you!
Older Leonard was dead sexy. His last decade was a pure gift.
Yes!!

I loved this man and still. I do. I know he is gone but not for me ..
Not for me either, ever!
Yes!! I feel this 🥰❤
He's eternal.
Bodies leave. Love never.
He left the flesh, but he is alive, I would say he live in his poetry but I'm selfish and I say he live in me
Hank Williams is very blessed to be with Leonard in the tower of song
🙌🙌
FreemasonS are going to hell. These people worship the evil one that is what these songs are about. Repent and seek the Way Truth and Life
A great invocation!!
This may be the most powerful performance I’ve ever heard from him
Echo those sentiments exactly...been listening to this song, this version nonstop upon discovery. Sheer talent coupled by sheer genius.
Keep listening
Could listen all night and a bit L o n g e r X D o t X
Me. Every morning. I work with the elderly and try to sing one of his songs to them every morning.
So much nice!
"There will always be someone who claims to be above us. In reality, we are all paying our rent on the same floor in the Tower of Life." 💙 Leonard stands centre stage!!!
Szczyt człowieczeństwa..... piękne i prawdziwe w stosunku do Leonarda 😊
Leonard Cohen was part of my life from the 60's to his death and beyond! I fell in love with his music when I bought the album "The songs of Leonard Cohen" I continued to buy up to "You want it Darker" RIP old friend
You look very beautiful
How Magick is this Wizard vouce.He lives forever. LOVE HAS NO BOUNDARIES. X
I passed on seeing Leonatd Cohen when he was in Boston because the tickets were $250. What a missed opportunity, the show was clearly priceless. Regrets, I have a few.
That's an insane amount of money for a ticket though. I passed on one of his concerts too because I didn't have the money, but I have no regrets. He's still amazing. I don't need to see all of my heros.
@@alukuhito True, his music is his legacy.
I just love this song and Leonard's performance in this whole concert was mesmerizing.
The meaning of life indeed: beautiful magic
Thank you Goran! It was an amazing healing journey. I´m so grateful. The scanning of my body was done. Then we went for the hill. I could see all was dressed in light clothes. They gathered around. Goran told me to take his hand, I suddenly became very short. I was myself as a one-year old. She wanted to become visible. My stomach started to hurt from old feelings of sorrow and loneliness. We stopped and listened to the feelings. My older self, took the toddler by the hand and Goran hold her other hand. We started to walk uphill. It was a joyful walk. My mother and father came up behind to join the march, the little one let go of my hand and went to them to get hugs. Tears of joy and the little one was very happy. I lifted her in my arms and we continued. On top of the hill I sat down by a fire. The guides and helpers were around. I didn´t have any questions so I asked if they had some advice. The elder Indian, south-american with wrinkled dry skin held the talking-stick, looked into my eyes, smiled and nodded. A rush of love went through me. So incredibly warm, tears of joy started to fall. I wanted to give the man a gift for his help, so I gave him my necklace. The old Indian with long white hair and a long robe in light grey held the gift, and then returned it to me. The other helpers were also very tall, guessing about 2 meters wore grey robes with hoods, so I couldn´t see their faces. Time to go back; I bowed to the helpers in gratitude. The little one ran to mother and father so the forgiving was completed. I hugged them too; it was so nice to see them as they were before in their 50-ies. - Lets run down the hill! Goran said. We started to run hand in hand and the little one on my hip. All of sudden we took flight. With arms stretched as wings we flew downhill and all was so happy. We made a little war-dance on the ground of pure joy.

Use your WISDOM
because you are much older than you can believe and imagine.
Many times you crossed the sky and the earth,
and long times you existed in heaven,
the extended way of reaching maturity.
So you know much more than you live.
So you say less than you carry.
So you love tinier than you want.
Live rich.
Live true.
Live according your grown up, old and wise spirit.
Talk clear and loudly - in human way
Speak a prayer to God - and He will hear you
Be wise - love and give and embrace the world.
We are with you -always. You are our brother and child.
We know you!

Dignity
Be dignity!
Live dignity!
Defense dignity!
Be example!
You live the heritage of your fathers,
grandfathers, and grandgrandfathers.
You are the result of your spiritual existence over the time of eternity.
You are - and you will be.
God by himself reaches out His hand
and He asks you to stand up and to walk freely.
Nothing else should be as it was
All is new.
See the brighten daylight, and as it turns on
you life shall be a new one.
All about your thoughts
your feelings
your opinion
about yourself.
Now - and from now on - be dignity.
God and the entire universe loves you, Göran Skönvall!

Joy
Be joy!
Feel yoy!
Give joy
and take joy!
Whatever happens -
feel
your breathing
your wide open senses
your golden heart.
Let this golden heart
shine out
and in
to lighten up
mind and soul.
Be connected
with your spirit
in joy.
Whatever happens
or disappear
or get neglected
allow
nothing and nobody
to steal your joy!
Love!

Peace
Peace
Peace
Peace
meditate on peace
everyday -
to keep the trust
the stability
the love.
Peace may be in heaven
and on earth
in your inner heart chambers
in your soul
and in your life.
You are the gardener
of peace, love, happiness!
6
Forgiveness
To reach the peace, the joy, the happiness
you have to forgive!
Forgiving is beautiful.
Forgiving is
to release
to give free
to forget.
Forgiving makes possible
the new beginning.
Forgive your parents and their believings.
Forgive those you let you down.
Forgive those who were not able to love.
Forgive the one who heart you.
Forgive the one without believings.
Forgive the darkness, it made you see.
Forgive the lonliness, it made you miss the feelings.
Forgive the pain,
the blaming,
the sorrow,
for all of them lead you now
to choose happiness.
And finally -
forgive yourself.
Be free!
7
Patience
Be patient.
Spread patience.
Talk patiently.
No hurry will give you
more happiness
or let you reach
your goals faster.
Unpatience will leave you exausted
and tired.
Patience gives strength and power.
Teach this!
Everything
will come in time.
8
Cleaning
A tired soul and a tired heart
leaves the body exhausted.
No wonder why!
Let the soul breath out
all dust.
Let the heart cry out
all sadness
the eyes have seen
the heart has felt.
Let the eyes clean themselves.
And heart will be light again.
Give the body space
for breathing, for resting
and collect the power
of a recovered will.
Then
the wheel of power
will work again.
And your heart filled with new hope
and your soul extending
to reach spirit and
the universe!
Love forever!

Happiness
Happiness is
to live.
Breathing
smiling
seeing
the nature.
The air
is dedicated to humans
to breath
to grow
to lift up
the spirit to higher levels.
Air is happiness.
So -
happiness is light
makes humans light
gives light!
How happy you are, Göran,
depends on how much air you breath
how many times per day you smile
how carefully your awareness is reading
the nature
the humans
the true values.
Let your spirit grow
and become wise in calmness.
Spread all wisdom of your spirit
out to the longing people.
All of that is happiness.
Happiness is to take part
in the adventure of
the trees of growing spirits
to a whole forest -
to let the earth breath!
Happiness is breathing!
Breath out and
breath in
Happiness!

Completion
Nothing is ever
complete
perfect
finished.
All is
under creation.
But happy are those
who continue building
for themselves
and others.
This is
what all of us do.
You on earth
and we
in spirit.
One family - one goal!
Liberation!
And you brother
Göran

A joyful cemetery near me has a monument with the carving
I’ll see you again in the Tower of Song.
Leonard touched so many lives even after their death.
