#LeonardCohen #ThanksForTheDance #TheStoryOfThanksForTheDance
Featuring several musical guests, Leonard Cohen's Thanks For The Dance, is a remarkable new album which echoes the sounds of his catalogue, yet remains fresh, current and impactful.
The mini-documentary, “The Story of Thanks For The Dance,” was created in collaboration with France's La Blogothèque team.
Released in conjunction with the new album, the film includes interviews with producer Adam Cohen, engineer Michael Chaves and album contributors Leslie Feist, Daniel Lanois, Richard Reed Perry (Arcade Fire), Zac Rae (Death Cab For Cutie), Damien Rice and Patrick Watson. Each of those involved reflect on the journey, exploring their contributions and the meaning behind the album.
The human race has been blessed by Leonard Cohen
In 1980, Leonard use to have a beer at the Mexican restaurant, Le Tatou, in Mtl every day at 5. It was an honour for me to serve him day after day. He was in his thoughts and was always elegant in his being with me. Silence was our way of communicating. Love this wonderful human being.Thank you for this touching tribute.

Thank you for the grace of silence
@@deborahbarry8458 Silence is gold.
Dominique Houle, créations florales, EMC Thanks for sharing that. It was an awesome time!
Beautiful
I've tried too look up the name in google to find the place but couldn't. Is the restaurant still there?
I have just found this story of Thanks for The Dance. It's beautifully put together. Big thanks to Adam for his dedication to giving us the last gift from his father.
ADIOS,MI ENTRANABLE AMIGO,SIEMPRE TE RECORDARE,GRACIA,POR TU MUSICA Y SENTIMIENTOS,PPBOYA❤❤❤
is it normal to cry everytime i watch this?
happy birthday, prophet
I am the generation that should have known him from the 1960s but somehow I missed him. Then.......I went to his concert in Weybridge, England in 2007(?) and again to his concert in Lucca, Italy, in 2013 or 14. Both those live performances touched me more than any other -live performance I have been to ....and I have seen many. Wonderful lyricist/poet, marvellous music and I play his music often. Thank you , Adam Cohen for your talent and respectful/valued work and I hope to hear more of your own music.
Hello Pretty 💖
If you listen to Leonard, if you listen to his songs, the fear of your own death is getting smaller.
Thank you, Leonard for your life!
And if you listen to Damien Rice, you can hear the hum of his hair.
There is music one listens to, but then there is music that becomes the companion of one’s life, music one lives through and learns how to live through. Cohen’s music was such a companion.
A man for all seasons, for all time. He's done more to heal my wounds and those given and received than any man or woman, from the tower of his songs.
Mr Cohen spoke of the mystery of the human condition in a unique way, with tremendous compassion, seeming to understand something of its splendour without being blind to its degradation; that's why he is SO missed and why he is simply irreplaceable to many of us.
Very well put!
Great!
Yes yes oh my
Love your comment, that's really it!
So true. He was/is an existential explorer & poet of mind body & soul.
A BEAUTIFUL BITTERSWEET ALBUM.
"...But you'll be hearing from me baby, long after I'm gone
I'll be speaking to you sweetly from my window
In the Tower of Song...."
I have only just seen this and, oh my, it is beautiful. Big thanks and kudos to Adam Cohen for keeping Leonard with us.
I had the the privilege to meet Mister Leonard COHEN two times. The last time in Colmar (France) I was invited to take the breakfast with him at the Hotel. I am Portuguese and Leonard lived in a Portuguese area in Montréal. He told me he love the Portuguese Food !! I will remeber that meeting all my life. He was the most respectful Artist I've meet in my career!!
bobbyze68 wow .... estaria completamente realizada!!
Sortudo!!!!
bobbyze68 oh, that's absolutely amazing, i actually live near colmar. when did it take place?
How did one get invited for breakfast?
@@leonoreklemchen1333 You introduce yourself, be kind, perhaps the other is in the mood for some smalltalk and company? Has happened to me lots of times with regular people. Aritsts are not that different, except above a certain level where they can't get out without being chased/recognized by everybody and have fans chase them all the time. Mr. Cohen wasn't that... Heck, he was quite often in the presense of tons of regular folks, e.g. in the taverns in Hydra after the 70s (since his first time there he was anonymous)...
The classiest man to walk the earth in our time, thank you for everything Mr. Cohen, may you rest in peace.
To live when Leonard when relive,joyous❤
Thank YOU, Leonard, for being such an important companion in my life for almost 40 years.
Jan Hanchen Michelsen
It has been hard for me to describe... but I see it happened to you, too.
Me too ! met him one time and he was so gracefull and humble in our brief encounter.
Leonard Cohen deserved the Nobel Prize because he was the last poet of our time.
L S there are others my dear
bobby Dylan?
Bob Dylan is Number 1. After there is Cohen.
@@danfate6862 Bob Dylan himself said to Leonard Cohen: "You are number one, I am number zero" ;)
@@jonathanbreavman9570 for me Dylan is great like the Everest. For Leonard Bob were the best. I Think like Leonard; Bob is the best.
Thanks for all the dances Mr Cohen. Even when I was dancing alone, you were never far away. I hope you're having a wonderful journey
Thanks to Hallelujah , 1-5-2020 finding his music! I am 71 years old! Thanks!
Leonard Cohen gave of himself in his poetry, music and generosity to his fans and his collaborators! I miss him so very much!
Elohim Adonai is Good! God was so Good to Leonard. A man walking in the wilderness of life, but never forgot where he was rooted. Thanks for sharing the story behind this album.
I was on a plane flying across the Atlantic from London to NYC when the news broke of Leonard Cohen's death. The Captain made the announcement over the tannoy. There were some gasps and cries from those seated around and near me. A few people - I was one - shed tears. In death as in life, Leonard Cohen brought the young, the old and people of many nationalities together. We spoke to one another. We shared stories about Leonard and then about ourselves.
How I miss Leonard Cohen and his music.
Loved his music but l always have respected his intellect and heart even more.
His expressed values are familiar & comforting to me. My Dad was of the same mold. I miss them both.
OMG!!! I thought ,,You want it darker,, was his last gift to us and then this happened, I'm Sooooooo happy, I'm gonna cry.... THANK YOU for making this album a reality!!!!!
This is PHENOMENAL!!!!
I think you speak for one and all Tamara.....i am weeping whilst writing this to you.
Regards,
Sonic Foxx.

*Happens to the heart* is one of the absolute best songs of the year. Well done
moving on
I am 64 years young and his music and philosophy came to me at the age of 16 . Thanks god for a good guy
For some reason I have always felt that there is such a thin layer between alive and dead .. like the death is always just round the corner .. it’s strange to feel this way when you are very young but your soul feels so old .. felt like wanted to share this thought after watching this beautiful video .. I started to feel even more drawn towards Leonard’s music , his humble soul .. I always adore his humbleness, I love every time he would take his hat off .. I feel like his spirit is somewhere nearby .. watching over us 🙏😇
for all those who know that there is a secret language hidden in the mysteries of the heart-
and have felt it’s sacred tongue vibrating on the lips of mr. leonard cohen,
then you know that the sacred heart shall continue to beat in all of us who have found a refuge in the music, and will only bind us tighter as we all move together toward eternity.
A true voice of spirituality I miss him so . He is/was one of the great poets of our time!
Producer: How many people do you want to have goosebumps, Leonard?
Cohen: Yes.
Man, you're not kidding. 💗
"Listen to the hummingbird whose wings we cannot see/ Listen to the Prince of Peace who gave His life for thee,,," We'll meet and talk.
Thank you for all I have learned through your music, the flesh, the love, the pain, the poetry.
Thank you for everything, Leonard!
People, learn to dance! It's totally worth it and the emotions transported in this last album of Leonard Cohen are an effigy for it.
Thanks for everybody that contributed and allowed us to hear this wonderful one-of-a-kind album.
Thanks for the dance, Leonard Cohen! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the dance of life - to all you dear people who let this come through!
Darlings!
Forever missed. Forever loved. So grateful to have Leonard in my life.
Thankful for his truth forever. I love you Leonard 😔
I can't express how much I appreciate all these incredible musicians who share the passion and love for Cohen and have created the beautiful instrumentals while working with VOCALS ONLY. It's a beautiful homage to Cohen's life and his art. Thank you
Unexpectedly strong album, the way they managed to complete the record without Leonard around in the studio surprised me even more than his poetry
LC is reminiscent of another legendary artist, Johnny Cash, who till his final days kept working, creating, seeking...100 years from now, when nearly all of today's chart toppers are long forgotten, people will still listen in wonder to his massive talent. "Everybody knows" that's true.
amazing voice 👏
What a great son Adam! ❤️
the spirit of Leonard Cohen is still lives among us
You are immortal Leonard Cohan... Your art is live forever with you.
I am crying. So sad memories. May his songs live forever!
Thank you Leonard, Adam and all,. Thanks
Awesome person, Disciple of life . sage, . musician, poet of life . ---- mentor .... your words thoughts and life will never die . Thank you ,for your legacy of life
Hello Pretty 💖
THANKS for new songs....the great man never dies
Met the Man, served him too, sang and wrote with him 2 in secret. Hallelujah...he will always be with us. Thank the son or daughter to continue his legacy. Can say one of the greatest human beings that I've ever met. Miss you Mr Cohen but you will always affect my life .love you and thank you for showing me the way through the darkness. And now I say through the cracks the light shines. You will never be forgotten. Eternal is your message and voyage. I hope we hear more friend, mentor, buddy
I have them all and I will definitely get this one as well. My deepest respect to Adam for pulling this off, on so many levels that could not have been easy.
Yeah that was obviously a labour of love for Adam to work so tirelessly to ensure his Fathers final legacy he was not resentful his own career was not as successful he just wanted everything available to be made available.
Cohen + Lanois! A dream come true.
Yeah ..
Thanks for the dance Leonard
Dylan and Cohen, two jewels
Thank you a million times over!!!! This is pure, loving, powerful energy.
We miss you sweet Leonard♥️♥️♥️♥️
I am totally in tears. So much beautiful music, thanks Leonard.
Who else was such a close personal friend to us all over our lifetimes ?
Who made me cry and smile and see things anew?
After absorbing Leonard's lyrics I noticed the types of things that he sang now made my own memories really stick .
He made me a bit more of a poet.
She gave me tea and oranges that came all the way from China type of observations made life more romantic!
He is super amusing with only one or two brilliantly depressing songs...Famous blue raincoat is very brave for its gloomy atmosphere but what a radical message of forgiveness instead of angry jealousy.
Love you Leonard..sincerely J Angus
Why do I still have to cry when I hear Our Beautiful Nightingale?! He helped me through LIFE, there was always a special song as my compagnon. It feels if You are still around us and I Promise to always keep YOU and your songs and poems alive ... We ALL Will.. . Thanks for the wonderful gifts you left us, always being Our Master... Thanks dear Adam and all the loyal, amazing Friends of Mr. Cohen for keeping your sacred Promise To your Father, to your Beloved Friend and for bringing us a Miracle ....
And thank you, my long lost Friend Adriaan for giving me " Last Years Men". That's when a special "religion" for me began.
Blessed Be;
Althea)0(
There's a Leonard Cohen marathon happening. Never thought I'd say this, but, Thank You VEVO.
Thank you, Leonard. Thank you for the dance. 🖤
ان كنتم تعبدون محمدا !!! فإن محمدا قد مات😊 وإن كنتم تعبدون الله فإن الله حي لا يموت ❤
What a beautiful farewell. Thanks for the wonderful memories Mr. Cohen. You've been the soundtrack to so many stages of my life. I feel your presence all over Montreal. I'm so glad I caught you in concert before your departure.
My teacher in my school in Montreal was his assistant for many many years and was telling all the stories of Leonard. amazing person Rip legend
Even the fact that you lived in Montreal during his life ispired envy in me. What kind of assistant? Teaching, personal...? We fans would be thankful for any story if you or your teacher would write them down.
Yes! What Nikola said - we would love to hear some of these stories from you or your teacher!
Nikola Krstić I’ll ask him to wire one down even for my personal curiosity, he would help produce his music or the business side of things sometimes a flew with him on his private jet many times he told me. I’ll ask him to tomorrow
Would absolutely love to hear them. Please do share them with us. All of us will really be grateful for it.
We hang on every thought word and deed... your teacher’s experiences are gold to us
What an incredibly beautiful and moving tribute to an incredible, beautiful and moving artist. No! I'm not crying, I'm celebrating the joy of loving Leonard Cohen and his poetry. There's not enough gratitude I could ever express for my decades of listening to Leonard's dance - all of our dances - and I'm still not tired. Indeed, thanks for the dance.
And the spirit continues to live through us..
By making our hearts feel even more alive!
Thanks for the Dance, thanks for the Dance of life*
thank you all for the amazing work. he will always be the greatest
An enigma … yet an amazing talented man. A gift to mankind by God. Leonard a Jew by birthright, yet always struggled to find through many paths as to what he believed in. His huge talent and intellect drew him to God. I respect his talent & his God given gift but so sad that his beloved muse - Marianne wasn’t sufficient for him.
A true Light, one that continues to uplift me after all these years...thank you good sir...
Thank’s for Thank’s for the dance mister Adam Cohen! God bless you!
not just for the dance, but everything, thanks
Too many lives have yet to experience Leonard Cohens magic.
This Extraordinary Album ... possible, only, by MASTER L. COHEN Thanks so lot for this GREAT DEEP TRUE GIFT . You offert YOURSELF completely ! I Love YOU Vi
Thanks you Vi
Thanks for the dance, beloved.
A true beautiful soul. Miss you Leonard.
Adam Cohen has extraordinary talent on his own. In the shadow of his dad, he hasn't got traction. Leonard's low voice and the pain he suffered were rare brilliance.
Hello Pretty 💖
What a wonderful way to see his mortal dance transcended into musical heaven
Amazing & so very beautiful. It actually made me cry - thanks for the dance....
I am crying too..thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you Leonard. We went through a lot together. I remember way back when, when I was young and you were there.
I am so happy Leonard left us with a goodbye. He says the goal is far from the reach. I believe he made and exceed the goal by leaving us this closure.
Thank you all for giving Leonard and outlet. Love his work. So unique and beautiful.
Hello Pretty 💖
Thanks
Such an awe inspiring legacy he leaves. To all that carry on his music, thank you!
In Love with this Dance. Beautiful! Thanks for all, Leonard Cohen. Love you. Great work!
Exceptional man and writer. An inspiration to poets around the world. I hope to develop the courage to write from states of disposition as he has 🙏 x
Jump in and do it, dedicate yourself and get feedback. You can do it.
Thank you Adam.
Tak for dansen i gjennem så mange år! Jeg er så glad for vårt liv sammen ,alene her på jorden. Jeg vil gøre hvad jeg kan og med din og Gud's hjælp til at åbne op for hva du og jeg har kæmpet for! Våre hjærter blev smeltet sammen for nå 49 år siden. HURRA! Om et år har vi guldbryllup!!! Din for evigt!!! Lila. 💓🙏😘
The Holy Ghost of Music ... even now he still commands that our souls are in tune with him ... I'm 60 next year and have spent many years in the company of Mr Cohen so ......Thanks for all the dances Leonard ! ❤
I only discovered him at 25, now I'm 30. His art is going to be a life long companion 💙
@@avinashini that is so so wonderful to hear ❤
@@Kiss_My_Art Hello Pretty 💖
For me he is alive through his music, his poetry. He remains one of my favorites up there with Brel, Aznavour ....
How lightly we’re all here, like leaves in the wind. At once green, in but a moment brown; at once fed, in another fading... As Lorca said, ‘ Green, green, I want you green. Green the wind: and green the bough...”. Cycles in time, cycles in righteousness. How do we cherish gold? First we lose it. Leonard was our green and our precious gold. Thanks for the dance Cohen clan!
I love you LEONARD. I miss you so much. Greetings from Perú.
My father died, leaving me with hundreds of sketchbooks and paintings and so many tools, but no words.
He died while I was young, and I grew up with tools and memories. I learned from a ghost, and was moved to tears by one with this video...
Thank you...
Moving album. Touching my heart and soul so deeply. Thank you Mister Cohen for that beautiful gift. You're always here.♥
Merci Adan ! Merci à ton père de m'avoir tant donné tout au long de ma vie !
We will dance with you while you are gone because you left a legacy Dear Cohen.
He's voice is stunning. The depth and ruggedness in it.
you made me cry, dearest Leonard.
Thank you Leonard!!!....❤
listening and learning from Leonard is the greatest influence of my life . Striving to be so refined and relevant is such a great lifetime goal. Thx Leonard.
Ron Kriegel
This is also my experience
Thanks GOD for the sending this man to the Earth 🙏🙏🙏
I'd trade any Gods we made up for Cohen. We were lucky he really did exist
Amen, my friend we all need to thank God for this wonderful man who brought us so much happiness,joy and understanding of living.
Yeeessss

🙏❤️
A Canadian treasure for sure. May Leonard Cohen rest in peace.
Thanks Leonard... and thanks to everyone who honoured him and his music be helping create the exquisite record
