    Lyrics:
    I was always working steady
    But I never called it art
    I got my shit together
    Meeting Christ and reading Marx
    It failed my little fire
    But it’s bright the dying spark
    Go tell the young messiah
    What happens to the heart
    There’s a mist of summer kisses
    Where I tried to double-park
    The rivalry was vicious
    The women were in charge
    It was nothing, it was business
    But it left an ugly mark
    I’ve come here to revisit
    What happens to the heart
    I was selling holy trinkets
    I was dressing kind of sharp
    Had a pussy in the kitchen
    And a panther in the yard
    In the prison of the gifted
    I was friendly with the guards
    So I never had to witness
    What happens to the heart
    I should have seen it coming
    After all I knew the chart
    Just to look at her was trouble
    It was trouble from the start
    Sure we played a stunning couple
    But I never liked the part
    It ain't pretty, it ain't subtle
    What happens to the heart
    Now the angel’s got a fiddle
    The devil’s got a harp
    Every soul is like a minnow
    Every mind is like a shark
    I’ve broken every window
    But the house, the house is dark
    I care but very little
    What happens to the heart
    Then I studied with this beggar
    He was filthy, he was scarred
    By the claws of many women
    He had failed to disregard
    No fable here no lesson
    No singing meadowlark
    Just a filthy beggar guessing
    What happens to the heart
    I was always working steady
    But I never called it art
    It was just some old convention
    Like the horse before the cart
    I had no trouble betting
    On the flood, against the ark
    You see, I knew about the ending
    What happens to the heart
    I was handy with a rifle
    My father’s .303
    I fought for something final
    Not the right to disagree

      its not depressing, I don't understand how just being a soul, with weather, is sad all the time?
      We all go through emotions. It's a part of life.
      Embrace sadness, thats what Cohen did. But he had other emotions as well. Like the rest of us.
      He's letting us into his "closet", like King David in the Psalms.
      Its pretty darn cool if you ask me!
      To continue, sadness, like any common emotion we go through, is OK. As long as you don't stay there.
      Everyone associates Cohens music with "depression"??? That in itself is sad!
      So being a human with one emotion, is the only state one is in?
      Cohens music gives me unspeakable Joy!
      He was real with his words, never mincing them, never shying away from what he felt.
      Wasn't meant to seem "sad", just real!
      Not many people get real enough. This is why I find Joy in his music/poetry.
      Cheer up. Life is about going through many things. Go through them. Get to the other side!

    “'Suffering has led me to wherever I am....Suffering has made me rebel against my own weakness." - Leonard Cohen

    • @89474
      @89474 2 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      Yes, sufferings help us get out of illusions.
      Cohen was extremely sensitive and his painful experiences helped his soul make a resistance. It was necessary to detach soul from mind which leads us astray and connect with God's words to understand the truth. Saint Spirit is power to the soul. The only freedom and happines is in God. Through Jesus. He is the first, the strongest and the most high. Son of God. OBEDIENT . He accomplished :all commandments.
      Then, no more sufferings, pure joy and happiness.
      The wounds of Jesus heal us and cure us.
      God bless his soul with utmost blessings.
      Love to all♥️

I do not share this with my friends, nor do I add it to my playlists. I visit this song by my own, with an intent of peace. It is worship to me.

    I remember being amazed in the 60's that so many local singers and musicians thought he was weird or didn't know about him at all, when I was learning Suzanne, Sisters of Mercy, Dress Rehearsal Rag and Priests. There was such a deep sorrow in his music, yearning for the same simplicity others enjoyed in their lives but seeing, thinking, feeling too much. If you listen to anything of his, listen to "God is Alive, Magic Is Afoot". The man was a philosophical lyric genius. We shall never hear his like again.

      @fractiousperson303 2 ปีที่แล้ว +30

      That line is so striking and poignant, it takes me aback and gives me chills every time. I'm not sure what others or Leonard meant by it, to me it suggests a sort of mercenary aspect to making it as an artist, leaving behind friends and peers, as well as feeling trapped by that fame and celebrity, which seems to fit Leonard's retreat to Hydra. Or maybe the prison of the gifted is in the person so gifted or cursed with such intelligence and sensitivity as to be lonely and alienating and painful, even in obscurity, and being friendly with the guards means being able to play nice, be charming, and sort of fake being like other people to get along in life, and feeling like you're betraying your true self (the other prisoners?) in your social and professional life and its personae. It's a startlingly unflattering and sinister image. But it also harkens back to recurrent references to the Shoah/Holocaust on this pair of albums (especially prominently from "You want it Darker"'s refrain: "a million candles burning" and verse "They're lining up the prisoners and the guards are taking aim/I struggled with some demons/they were middle class and tame/I didn't know I had permission to murder and to maim" and evoked within this own song's stark last couplet (a contrasting image of the poet and his father as partisan/Jewish rebels", ready to shoot those same guards.
      But of course one of the major features of great art or literature is that it inspires different interpretations and I would like to see what other people think too.

They are immersed in their own world of thoughts and ideas to outwardly appear as strange and unusual. Normal people think positivity means you ignore and shy away from pains and agony of being alone. Truth is, brains in those gifted individuals work in a completely different frequency and doesn't match with the common people. So they feel alone even when surrounded by crowd. That's what Leonard Cohen meant I guess when he said 'In the prison of gifted'. But still you live in a society and want to be accepted , so you behave in an acceptable way to match the normal people's frequency. That's where the phrase comes " I was friendly with the guards".

    I designed Leonards hummingbird. We were friends. I had a dream after he passed. We were in a forest. I was with some friends outside a trailer. He came over and asked if I wanted something to eat. As we walked away he turned to me and started talking and talking. Telling me important things I can't remember. (my father once came to me in a dream and did the same thing) After he finished talking he said it was time for him to return. I walked with him along the path....just like the one in the video and we talked together. Then I had to stop and he continued just like in this video. At the end of the path I saw a bright green field in sunlight. This video is phenomenal. Dianne V. Lawrence

Неожиданно нашёл этот клип среди рекомендованных и решил послушать, так как был удивлён незнакомому названию. Музыка и голос завораживают с самого начала. К концу произведения от слёз уже расплывался экран. Наверное, что-то случилось с сердцем...
    Очень красивое произведение, играющее на струнах души. Рекомендую всем слушать с хорошей аккустикой или в наушниках. Видеоряд показался сначала странным, но после нескольких прослушиваний и чтения переводов я понял, что видеоряд уместный. Огромная благодарность Маэстро и последователям, которые дали нам возможность услышать его голос и пережить за 5 минут жизнь автора. Спасибо ребятам Sergey Filat и Alexander Delphinov за красивые переводы. Достойный перевод можно сделать, только прожив жизнь автора хотя бы по известным фактам жизни Леонарда Коэна и из книги 'Beautiful Losers', которую наверное мало кто читал даже в переводе на русский.

    A knowing, always known, but only realised from the heart. A letting go into the infinite now, merging with what I am. The fullness and complete beauty without judgement. My overwhelming enjoyment in dancing my part in oneness. The profundity of being able to interact with mySelf in this dimension. The light dance. I endeavour to be childlike in wonder of what I am. I am the ruler, visiting the heart. Respect

    He was and will remain a genius. Singer, composer, poet, philosopher, but above all, a man with a great soul.

    This song was beautiful but so sad. What happened to him of course went into his head then his heart, seems like there was no healing. My heart goes out to us that needs healing. Thank you Leonard Cohen

    The song generally talks about the elevation from a material life (human love , work , material things ) to a spiritual life where you don't attach your heart to things that go away (mortal,that dies...) . Well at least this is what I understood , the part of the rifle thats what happens when you lock your heart to love material things . While when loving spiritually , your soul will fly .
    This song has two meaning if not many but it depends on the listener mood , emotions , and perception .
    what happens to the heart depends on how you chose to elevate

      I agree, thank you, for me this is often the reason of Leonards songs

    His voice, his body, pierces through the clouds, not a god, not even breathing, just a lightning in the night.
