I was lucky to see him "Live" in New Zealand in his later years. Such a humbling beautiful experience. He walked on stage and said "Hello friends" ❤ I'll never forget that night. So special
I was to Leonard Cohen's grave in October 2019. I lost myself in the cemetery because it's very big. I'm from Italy and when I stayed there I met a nice and gentle woman from Australia. We hugged and we become friends. Leonard makes miracles. I'll always love him.
Lou Reed at the R&R Hall of fame for Leonard said about him. "we are so lucky to be alive at the same time as Leonard Cohen". I have been listening to his music and reading his poetry going on 50yrs and I have been so inspired by what he says.He is a brilliant , genuine man of high integrity.I have been listening, starting with his first album and on up to his last album. It's been an incredible journey. He has been the right poet and songwriter at the right time and for the right generation. I miss him very much. The world was a better place when Leonard was in it.
@@dirtysanchez941 Thank you. When his manager stole almost every cent of his money, Leonard had to go out and do live concerts. He was 73 and hadn't been live for 15yrs. He was worried that people wouldn't come to his concerts. People around the world not only went to see him live, but his concerts were sellouts! He was a special man. Go Well!
@@writerman242 I saw him three times in Amsterdam, from 1970 onwards. The 4th time I went to his concert was in 2005 in Auckland, NZ. His concerts never disappointed, he always was energetic and focused and often communicated with the audience. He was a remarkable man and is missed dearly.
Even now, four years after his passing, I still give thanks to have been lucky enough to share my time on the planet with this amazing human being . I listen to his music almost daily, and his novel The Favourite Game is still one of my all time favourite reads. RIP Leonard...enjoy eternity in the tower of song.
How remarkable, peace and he touched and his lyrics, it’s unimaginable to see him like this, peace his lyrics and poetry touched me and millions followers and thank you Leonard to give us this to the world, inspiration and hope
My mother softly played his music a lot when I was a young child after me and my sister had been tucked into bed and I can remember now how his voice used to drift up from downstairs and we must have fallen asleep to his songs many times. Later I got into him myself as a twenty+ year old and ever since have been a fan. That was a really gentle viewing of his resting place. Thanks for posting it.
I read Beautiful Losers and Favorite Game in 1974 and became a fan before even discovering his music. Then I met Leonard after a concert in Sydney in about 1976. I live in Sydney Australia and may never make it to Montreal, so thanks Ben for taking me there.
I met leonard out side the floral hall concert building southprt UK back 75 and he walked to his tour bus totaly alone i stepped forwards to offer him a paper cup of wine he was wearing a beret he simply said in that golden voice , well thank you my friend . R.I.P. dear fellow.
As a former resident of Montreal, I really appreciate you creating this video. "There's a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in". Beautiful ride to respect.
Thank you for posting this video. L Cohen is a great composer and singer. Philosopher, poet, humanist he colored my dayly life during 45 years. And as an old french woman I would not be able to visit this graveyard and say thank you to you.
Was late to the party when I discovered him singing in Pump Up The Volume and I have been a fan ever since the late 80's. I have exposed his genius to as many open hearts as possible to enjoy the words, the humor...the man. I was lucky enough to see him perform in Boston in 2009, the evening was not so much a concert as it was a spiritual event. The funny thing about parties, it does not matter whether you are early or late...just be thankful someone invited you. Merci d'être vous Leonard et de donner au monde le cadeau durable de vous.
Oh thanks for posting this Sir, He was a wellknown and an appreciated singer allover Europe too.. My husband was a big fan of his music and me too. One of my favorite is "HEY, THAT'S NO WAY TO SAY GOODBYE"... And "SUSANNE" was a very popular song in the 70's here in the Netherlands. I never knew he was a Canuk till a Canadian friend of mine who also live in Montreal told me. I wish I could visit his grave with my friend but unfortunately we lost contact.... RIP Leonard..
@Ben Philippi It isn't the time right now to visit Montreal or any other city in Canada, knowing the whole world is fighting a terrible disease called Covid-19 but I would love to travel around for a month or so . Will you invite me and give me a place to stay dear? Where are you from? Are you also Canadian? I am sorry if I ask you too much private question, and there is no need to answer me, it's just curiousity. Love from the Netherlands.
Amazing talent, he actually got even better as he aged. I loved that gravely voice he had as an older man. And what a lyricist. What a human and earthy and funny human being. Saw him in concert at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn when he was 77 years old. He did a three hour concert. Incredible. I would love to visit his grave in Montreal to pay my respects and thank him. His memory will always be a blessing to so many of us. Love you, Leonard, my brother.
Thank you so much, Ben. LC was such an influence on me for over 50 years. I appreciate you taking the time. If and when I get to Montreal, I will be sure to pay him a visit and say 'Hi'.
Thank you for taking the time to post your visit to Leonards resting place, I seen him performing at Lisadel House,, its in Sligo, Ireland 🇮🇪. It was the family seat of Countess Marcovich a leader in the Irish rising of 1916, her neighbours were the Yeates boys , Artists and poets . Pass a cold eye on life, on death, Horseman passby. W.B. Yeates Leonard was enamoured with the mistic feeling of the place, and of how such interesting and talented people lived in rural areas, yet a stones throw from each other, it is a magical special place 💙❤ Leonard was wonderful that summers evening, and it has stayed with me, a memory I can look back on when in times like this we look for guidance.. Leonard loves Yeates and we loved the beauty of Leonards soul ❤ Rest in peace friend xx
Alas ,now we listen to his artistic singing voice and spiritual songs when he had missed us all around the world ! Recently , when I was watching his performences , I found him as the singer who always had been courteous towards all his audiences and his group .His heartfelt behavior and sincerely touching cap is etched on admierer's memories for ever 🌍God bless him❤Thanks for the video 🙏
Thank you for sharing this. He's my favourite artist all-time, and always wanted to/wished to pay my respects and visit his grave for that moment of distant connection. I hope to be there in person one day. So long, Mr. Cohen.
G-d bless you for doing this video.....I will go back to Montreal one day. I had the good fortune of seeing Mr. Cohen in concert twice in 2009, and then saw his art exhibit in downtown Montreal in April of 2010. I miss him every day.........
lovely post thank you .ever since i discovered "God is alive, Magic is afoot" with Buffy StMarie the most soul touching music ever Thank You Leonard Cohen . 🥀
Thanks for this Ben. In about 1977 I passed through Montreal and liked it, thinking about Leonard Cohen, not just his songs but also his poetry I had the passing thought, "I'd like to live here for a couple of years." Then in 1980 I got a chance to move there. Lived in Old Montreal. I developed some ideas about where the places mentioned in Suzanne were. I happened to mention them to a screenwriter I was driving around and he snorted. He knew Cohen, and Suzanne Verdal; set me straight. It was sort of 'a telling the dumb kid what for' moment. But it was also a real moment for me, I was living inside that song, the places songs are sung about are right there - we can go there, we can find out we're already living there. We can write our own songs. All I had to do was pay attention. A couple months later I noticed Abbie Hoffman, still on the lam for three more weeks, walking up Beaver Hall. I was still new to this amazing life, and he looked paranoid so I didn't say anything. It's been this amazing ever since. Yeah, Leonard Cohen touched a lot of us, made us brothers and sisters.
Wow. Great comment. I lived in Montreal for many years not far from Marie Anne Street, which is featured in one of his famous songs. I always thought of him any time I biked or walked along Marie Anne.
Um lugar simples, como foi a sua vida. Muitas vezes ouço as suas canções: à medida que ía envelhecendo, parecia-me melhor. Descansa em paz, que bem mereces. Viverás eternamente, porque os artistas não morrem!
I became a fan of Leonard Cohen when I was 18 yrs of age. I heard the song Mariann and from then I was hooked . I’m now 67 and still a huge fan. His music lives on for other generation to enjoy. R.I.P Lenny.🌹
Thank you so much for posting this! I plan on visiting his grave tomorrow. Such a beautiful soul he had - touched all our lives (proud to be from his city). I bet you cycle past my place all the time!
I grew up listening, reading and learning from Leonard. I'm from the west coast and one day I was in Montreal at a hotel when who do I see but Leonard and Marriane! I walked by and say Hi Leonard like it was totally normal with a hi back. I have since had the opportunity to see him in concert many a time that "man with the golden voice" I think that the best was when he was on his last world tour in Lyon it was an outside concert the sun was setting and Leonard was singing "It's closing time" still feels like yesterday. Missing you LC♥️
Thanks, Ben! Special moment for me, thanks to you. Mr. Cohen, RIP, with David, the angels, our Savior and our God and all of the greatest poets in time and space! Hallelujah!
Leonard along with Joni mitchell are 2 musicians I feel privileged that I have lived within their lifetimes. Their words, music and poetry have shown me truth, wisdom and beauty. And are both genius's. Both Canadian. Rip Leonard.
Who knows to what extent any of us have been influenced by Leonard's body of work. I got the chance to see Leonard Cohen live on his last tour in Brisbane, Australia. Thanks for this little video. If I was in Montreal I too would make the effort to visit his grave. And you DO NOT want to get COVID. I got it nearly a year ago and became a Long Hauler. It is really the pits. Enjoy your ride. Great sport.
Been reading and listening to this master since the late 60s Saw him twice in concert In 1980 or 81 in a small theatre with just him and acoustic guitar then in 2009 in an indoor tennis stadium with a few thousand others Both beyond extraordinary experiences. I was in a small town in India when he died Same week as Trump was elected A crap week all round. Mentor, teacher Muse Inspiration and saviour in dark Times. We have rarely in the past and not at all now seen the likes of him. I miss him RIP Leonard in the top floor suite of the great tower of song in the sky
R I P Leonard from all your friends in Ireland. A brilliant man huge influence on me the most humble and interesting man ive ever seen interviewed . And in death the same.A simple tombstone
Wow talk about strange things. I was listening to Leonads music for 4 days then as I could not sleep tonite I turn to you and who are you speaking of but Mr. Leonard. Awesome. Thank you. Take care.my friend.
Rest in peace. I love Leonard Cohen so very much. I'm 56, and he gave so much to my life, and other's. Leonard is special.. The man with the golden voice.. His words.. I'm sure Leonard would appreciate your visit, and sharing it with all of us. Thank you!! ❤️ My favorite part of watching Leonard Cohen perform, was his excellent relationship with his band members. They all also gave their best performance because of the light Leonard gave. His show at London's H20 is my favorite to watch lately.. Thank you, for filming, and remembering, and sharing this visit you had. It's a very beautiful place to be. I feel happy amongst all the world's chaos when I hear his voice.
To anyone interested...if you Google 'Canada Post Leonard Cohen'...they issued a limited edition( only 1,000 produced ) framed commemorative stamp tribute in 2019. Very nice,I have one. Few left...
Got to meet and greet with, and watch his seminar at nashville state community college, in 2002 or so....and he played 5 or 6 songs as well...was great...
For me, Cohen opened my young eyes to another, wider view of the world and way of living. It would be appropriate for him the have a much grander resting place but this relatively humble grave fits. I ride around our near-CBD (Adelaide South Australia) bike parks all the time and one of the main-north south paths goes right through the cemetery and we are not required to dismount. Another random connection is your 'Billabong' t-shirt which is a brand originating in Australia. A billabong comes from a first nations word which refers to a seasonal creek. In many ways it's an evironment that is so different to yours. A Canadian aquaintence of mine described our seasons as 'cool Summer' and 'scalding hot Summer'. An Australian might describe your seasons as 'cool Winter' and 'freezing Winter'. Fortunately our outpost of humanity was big enough to attract a number of tours from the great man over the years. He never dissapointed.
Me da mucha pena que recorrieses ese camino en un coche fúnebre hacia el cementerio sin poder cantarnos una bella canción porqué te fuiste tan pronto te echamos mucho de menos pero nos has dejado un valioso regalo tus canciones nunca te olvidaré siempre estarás en mi corazón nunca me despediré de ti pues te llevo dentro de mi corazón
A great video. Listened to his music in the 70s and continued through. Sad I was in Hydra when he was but didn’t know .Also sad I missed his concert in Liverpool uk. A toast to the great man 🥂🍾
I was lucky to see him "Live" in New Zealand in his later years. Such a humbling beautiful experience. He walked on stage and said "Hello friends" ❤
I'll never forget that night. So special
I was to Leonard Cohen's grave in October 2019. I lost myself in the cemetery because it's very big. I'm from Italy and when I stayed there I met a nice and gentle woman from Australia. We hugged and we become friends. Leonard makes miracles. I'll always love him.

Thanks for watching Anna.
To anyone interested...if you Google 'Canada Post Leonard Cohen'...they issued a limited edition( only 1,000 produced ) framed commemorative stamp tribute in 2019. Very nice,I have one. Few left...
Thank you. Good to know !

Got to meet and greet with, and watch his seminar at nashville state community college, in 2002 or so....and he played 5 or 6 songs as well...was great...
Wow, lucky you. Thanks for the comment Duane.
Leonard Cohen is very nice man and beutiful music he maid. R.I.P Regards from Finland
thank you very much for this moment of peace. Un Montréalais exilé au Yucatán 🧡🙏🏼
You're welcome.
For me, Cohen opened my young eyes to another, wider view of the world and way of living. It would be appropriate for him the have a much grander resting place but this relatively humble grave fits.
I ride around our near-CBD (Adelaide South Australia) bike parks all the time and one of the main-north south paths goes right through the cemetery and we are not required to dismount.
Another random connection is your 'Billabong' t-shirt which is a brand originating in Australia. A billabong comes from a first nations word which refers to a seasonal creek. In many ways it's an evironment that is so different to yours. A Canadian aquaintence of mine described our seasons as 'cool Summer' and 'scalding hot Summer'. An Australian might describe your seasons as 'cool Winter' and 'freezing Winter'.
Fortunately our outpost of humanity was big enough to attract a number of tours from the great man over the years. He never dissapointed.
Very nice. Thanks.
This have gave me goosebumps. Thanks for sharing. X
His lyrics will never die as they will live forever, yes if only cemeteries can express,
Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome.
Thanks Ben for this video. Always Leonard Cohen. Ander, from the Basque Country.
Thanks for sharing, I live in Pomona Ca. just south of L.A. he was one of a kind.
Yes he was. A true artist.
Thank you Ben for the video, I’ll have to go to Montreal and visit Mr. Cohen. Cheers!
Thank you from Liverpool
You're welcome.
Thank you sir for posting this. One day I will visit the place myself...
Me da mucha pena que recorrieses ese camino en un coche fúnebre hacia el cementerio sin poder cantarnos una bella canción porqué te fuiste tan pronto te echamos mucho de menos pero nos has dejado un valioso regalo tus canciones nunca te olvidaré siempre estarás en mi corazón nunca me despediré de ti pues te llevo dentro de mi corazón
תהיה נשמתו צוררה בצרור החיים!
געגועים לאיש יקר!
תודה על הכל !
על כל מילה! צילל! תובנה! הבנה! ואהבה!
אמן.
Muzica ta frumoasă Leonard Cohen v- a rămâne întotdeauna in inima mea.🎵🎤🎧♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😥😥😥
Merci pour cette visite à Léonard Cohen que j'ai connu en Grèce
He sings today with all the angels in Heaven
Yes he does.
Thank you.

A great video. Listened to his music in the 70s and continued through. Sad I was in Hydra when he was but didn’t know .Also sad I missed his concert in Liverpool uk.
A toast to the great man 🥂🍾
