Meaning of song "Dance me to the End of Love" ~ Leonard Cohen The song is about the string quartet who were forced to play beside the crematoriums in the death camps. The members of the quartet were going to be killed after in the crematorium but were allowed to play music. This playing of music is joy and happiness to the members of the quartet, the last piece of love and joy they will experience before their end. It explains something, anything, that seems strong or eternal. Even love, has an end in this life, but not the next. The song lyrics themselves describe a man and woman who are dancing, yet the man is asking for the woman to dance with him or help him do many things. This couple is exactly like the string quartet. Both of these groups of people are going to be killed in the crematorium but, they can experience joy, whether it'd be playing music or dancing, for the last time until before their end. It shows that both these groups, predominantly the couple, are enjoying themselves through something they love and are forgetting all their troubles and concerns of their deaths. He is asking her to take them back to happier times and reflect on their lives and realize the happiness in their lives before their end.
It's December 13, 2020 - here I am again after all these years to enjoy your smiling faces, the spontaneous dance, all to enhance the joy of the Christmas Season! Have you thought of re-doing this dance with the original partakers, and maybe their next generation :) :) ;) ?
This has to be the best version of this Leonard Cohen song I have heard. Truly stunning. Well done everyone who took part and thanks for posting this video.
I agree with Martie Rollin from 3 years ago, and come back to this great presentation by Stuart Davis every year. For me this is the best rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Dance Me to the End of Love" - one of his most popular, hopeful and inspired creations. There is so much joy on the faces of the singers and others at Central Station who join this chorus. It appears that there were many good rehearsals behind this magnificent production. And also - is he a professional? - the person shooting this video did an amazing job with focus and different angles of capture. Merry Christmas, 2018!
Things like this help's people feel good, but also spread's the smiles and warms the hearts of many. I wonder what would happen if everyone in the world started singing a happy song.... would it stop the killing, abuse and hate. Just saying
Alvin Brown I agree, in fact watching all most of these flash mob video's I've noticed all the smiles and joy in everyone as well. It's amazing how much happiness music can bring us.
This may be an older video, but it's one of the best I've seen! The harmonies are so beautiful, the crowd is so responsive...such a joy to hear this beautiful music performed with this arrangement. Loved every note! Love Leonard Cohen!
FoolAround38. I agree 100% with you.I was borne,about 12,000 MILES from Australia, in the Dominican Republic. Imagine ! The World is getting smaller every single day,.
This is so far my favourite flashmob. You did so well and all the people look really happy. And it makes me happy too while watching. Thank you so much.
For M. O'Malley Gray: Still my favorite every December, today Dec. 2, 2022 - Blessings on you, good health and Christmas joy!😄 Would love to have a response from you!
I've decided that coming back to this wonderful video will be one of my personal Christmas traditions. Still love every note! The person shooting this video did such a pleasing job of moving from person to person and group to group as their harmonious voices joined the chorus. Again, I am so pleased to have found this video. Merry Christmas, 2015!
Google "Dance Me to the End of the Love"- especially wikipedia. A very sad origin to this beautifully, haunting song. Although this song may not be a traditional "Christmas" song, it is one that will evoke a love for humanity & the importance of every life of this planet. We are all precious people on this earth.
I don't know what the song was...I don't know where it was taken...but my assumption is you made a lot of European women happy somehow...a small kind of form of feminism!! Beautiful!!

Alvin Brown That's right! If we would only listen to what God asks us to do, we'd be in a far better place. Thank you :)
THAT WE WOULD
