It seems, to me, that Leonard Cohen thinks about God in a far more profound way than many can. That's what I see in this song, anyway. What an incredible soul.
it's literally in his DNA.....descended from Rabbis ,carrying the surname of the royal priesthood then being born and raised in Montreal, he saw gatherings of black habit wearing nuns, or the nuns all dressed in white....he saw crucifixes everywhere in that outpost of France ....he must have looked long and hard at that tortured and crucified Jew, who comes in and out of so many of the poemsongprayers from his soul to G-d, to us on behalf of G-d and to G-d on behalf of us, and he seems intuitively to know we will take into our beings , in perfect eternal turning, the poemsongprayer and make it all, G-d him and you and I our own.
God is a dictator.. Michael the strongest angel do his bidding.. hmmm I like Lucifer he understood the definition of dictatorship and chose to die with a rebellion against God.. I guess if we stop worshipping God he will fade away and we can be free from slavery.. and mister Cohen understood that.. yup
What an unbelievably beautiful song--I almost want to say psalm--from the great Leonard Cohen. He understands the many shackles of the world, especially pride and ignorance, that keep us from our true nature. And yet there is a profound conversion from master to man, from holding the chains to bending the head low, from doubt to faith--a faith only possible through brotherhood: removing the stone together.
Mr. Cohen you know how to talk to Lord. My tears come down every time hear this song, I can see you standing in front of the weeping wall, whispering to our Lord.
Today I learnt Leonard Cohen passed away two weeks ago. And I feel It's a pity he is not going to compose such inspiring songs anymore. Anyways some persons pass through life without bringing anything worthy to others, and that's not his case. What an honor to leave without this regret. Thanks Leonard
Timeless poignancy in this hymn like offering from Mr Cohen. The terminality of man, the surrender, the endurance, the weight of responsibility and the vulnerability in prayerful submission.
Ah Leonard ... you have been such a part of so many moments in my life, happy and sad. You've shown me the beauty in sadness that is just never as deep or as beautiful in moments of happiness. I thank you xx
This man was special. He brought something so unique to this world; I miss him deeply and I, along with others who have written here, am going to carry his songs, deep in the recesses of my heart, until my end comes.
One of the best songs ever written One of the greatest songwriters of all time Leonard was a true hero and gentleman I am so glad I saw him live twice He always called his audience 'friends ' So - thank you my friend Leonard You will never be forgotten Your music will still be heard in 1000 years RIP
agree. considering he died some few years later he did this last run as an old man because he got screwed by his manage. Its sad. But he did his most personal music
But he is also clearly aware that Jesus is the creator, and I think this song, among others, especially his final album, show him as more of a Christ inspired singer, even if that means rejection, than a Freud scientist who doesn't have a spiritual existence.
As I see it it's a beautiful prayer in submission to the Lord, I interpret the rolling away of the stone as the ressurection of Christ in his life. I'm like him, just a slave, humbly looking for the Lord's will. Christ be praised!
Sometimes it can very difficult to express your feelings in words that are spoken or written.This writer had no trouble doing just that.Words with a great message
Thank You Mr Cohen for helping me through all my secret heartbreaks. I don't feel so alone when I hear your songs, because I can hear that you have loved and lost as deeply as I have.
This is not a song about love or loss. He is asking the Lord to lend a helping hand so he can complete his "leap of faith", a struggle many of us are going through.
I love this gentleman and his words/songs so very much. Thank you Mr L Cohen for helping me through so many times past and present. I miss you. God bless you.
I just found you a short time ago. I did not know you while you lived. But loving you has made me a better woman. Thank you for helping to move the stone.
Thumbs up again, leonard is the only artist that i know of that could stand in front of any dignitaries or royality or just audience and use any language he choose eloquently, brilliant (cardboard & piss) the man is just magic.
I fell in love with him the day we met. The day He died I met him. I normally dont love a singer. I doubt I ever loved a singer. He reached so far in his songs that reached to all my written poetry, unpublished. He is a song that inspired my awakening in his death, a beautiful story. I suppose it is between us. I think he met me without me knowing it.
The troubles come, I saved what I could save A thread of light, a particle, a wave But there were chains, so I hastened to behave There were chains, so I loved you like a slave... That's why he is the best artist ever known. Thank you Leonard Cohen for your music, words and voice :-)
The nuns used to "show me the place", and it was where the raincoats were hanging. I got used to it. Now that I'm a whole lot older, I can say there are damn few songs that make me want to get on my knees. Mr. Cohen, I bow to your mind and your voice. Can't listen to you enough. With warm aloha...
C'est un réel plaisir d'écouter et de réécouter cette chanson; chaque intonation de sa voix est une impression, chaque silence est une émotion et je ne raconte même pas la musique et son violon, l'écho des chœurs, l'ambiance, etc.
I looked your photo and thought "how nice,you're still living" 3 days ago...After two days you had gone and I learnt it today.It really made me feel sad :( I wish you could hear me but I know it is most likely impossible.Nothing after death...Thanks for all your songs and your impression on us.Life is a voyage and you did it well
R.I.P. Leonard Cohen
"Not a song, not a poem. A psalm." (Leon Bertoletti, Literary Suplement) !!!
Just a little more of nothing
... a hymn ...
yes indeed, a psalm...."David had a secret chord."
This is a prayer, a religious hymn. A cry of surrender and subdued protest to God's mysterious ways.
It seems, to me, that Leonard Cohen thinks about God in a far more profound way than many can. That's what I see in this song, anyway. What an incredible soul.
it's literally in his DNA.....descended from Rabbis ,carrying the surname of the royal priesthood then being born and raised in Montreal, he saw gatherings of black habit wearing nuns, or the nuns all dressed in white....he saw crucifixes everywhere in that outpost of France ....he must have looked long and hard at that tortured and crucified Jew, who comes in and out of so many of the poemsongprayers from his soul to G-d, to us on behalf of G-d and to G-d on behalf of us, and he seems intuitively to know we will take into our beings , in perfect eternal turning, the poemsongprayer and make it all, G-d him and you and I our own.
You wil see this quite a different-Much more human way. It is the magic of good poetry that it is mysteriously ambiguous. Good luck!
@David McGivern yes exactly!
God is a dictator.. Michael the strongest angel do his bidding.. hmmm
I like Lucifer he understood the definition of dictatorship and chose to die with a rebellion against God.. I guess if we stop worshipping God he will fade away and we can be free from slavery.. and mister Cohen understood that.. yup

We still miss you so much, Mr. Cohen.
Legends do not die. They fade away and will remain in our hearts forever.

GREAT ARTIST..POET.. TROVADOR ..Since I was 18 , I am 61 now. Privilege to see him in Chicago where I live now. THANK YOU FOR YOUR MUSIC
how special was this man and his gift? So fine, so fine, I will carry your songs until my time comes.
Oh Leonard you are a legend and a beautiful person.. I love you💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Timeless poignancy in this hymn like offering from Mr Cohen.
The terminality of man, the surrender, the endurance, the weight of responsibility and the vulnerability in prayerful submission.
Absolutely love this man and his velvet voices. Been listening for 36 years now and never lost him as my favourite. Beautiful heart.
i agree with you completely.
Each word, one deep feeling: a velvet textured voice ...and skin.
Ah Leonard ... you have been such a part of so many moments in my life, happy and sad. You've shown me the beauty in sadness that is just never as deep or as beautiful in moments of happiness. I thank you xx
Thank you for your fine words.
RIP Leonard, we will remember you and your music!!
there's nothing else to say... he's the poet of all time
Such a profound voice... That's make me cry..
The world is sad tonight, we will miss you my friend. RIP.
Still sad forever ...
Beyond doubt one of the greatest poets,songwriters and singers in any century-rarely equalled.
oh my god.
this just became my favorite song of his. i am in tears.
Oh, my God. i didn't think it was possible for Cohen to rise even higher. But he has. This is transcendent.
This man was special. He brought something so unique to this world; I miss him deeply and I, along with others who have written here, am going to carry his songs, deep in the recesses of my heart, until my end comes.
Wow! Hits me in the heart, rest in peace Leonard Cohen.
So beautiful so sweet, so strong, so true, so trusting, such love
God bless you Leonard.
Thank you for the music.
#RIP
Thank you for the poetry Leonard.
One of the best songs ever written
One of the greatest songwriters of all time
Leonard was a true hero and gentleman
I am so glad I saw him live twice
He always called his audience 'friends '
So - thank you my friend Leonard
You will never be forgotten
Your music will still be heard in 1000 years
RIP
I'm jealous. He was at the top of my bucket list, but it never happened ................
Me too. Jazz fest Montreal
agree. considering he died some few years later he did this last run as an old man because he got screwed by his manage. Its sad. But he did his most personal music
RIP L.Cohen....for there was no one among men who knew me like you did...your words, music and wisdom was a true companion
Its like a very beautiful Hymn.
You are my Soul Mr Cohen.
Thank you for expressing what my heart couldn't understand.
RIP
Now you know where the suffering ends.
😢
Such profound pain...makes me want to cry. Such a beautiful song.
You know what was the 2nd best career for Leonard Cohen after singing is psychology, he is the Freud singer...
But he is also clearly aware that Jesus is the creator, and I think this song, among others, especially his final album, show him as more of a Christ inspired singer, even if that means rejection, than a Freud scientist who doesn't have a spiritual existence.
I love the songs Leonard Cohen writes. He sure knows about life.
When I first heard this song on the radio, back when it came out, I was moved to tears.
me too.
Tears of joy!
It still does Josph after all this time...A wonderful song by an amazing, wonderful, beautiful man...
On the radio? Really? Makes me happy to know he is still going out over the airwaves. Such a loss, his last three albums are incredible.
I think this is a prayer for God to show him God's will. An admission that he wants to be in God's will and that he knows his place.
This is such a beautiful and complex song. Look beyond the words and you see how LC points out the mysteries of something as pure and simple as light.
Im constantly asking myself, is this a love song or a song for tears? But now I know its both!
Goodbye Leonard. Thank you. R.I.P.
As I see it it's a beautiful prayer in submission to the Lord, I interpret the rolling away of the stone as the ressurection of Christ in his life. I'm like him, just a slave, humbly looking for the Lord's will. Christ be praised!
Like-button is not enough when speaking of music like this. For these few special ones we need Love-button.
the Man is a Saint!
Rest in power my beloved. May your memory be eternal.
Für die Ewigkeit. Mit absoluter Weisheit.Mit absoluter Traurigkeit. Ein feiner Sänger.
I love you Leonard Cohen, you are an Incredible poet, songwriter, your words are embedded in my soul. R.I.P
Rest now and be with the angels, my beloved poet. Gratitude!
Oh my heart..he was a genius with his music and poetry.....
Sometimes it can very difficult to express your feelings in words that are spoken or written.This writer had no trouble doing just that.Words with a great message
Brilliant! Miss you! Thanks for all you left us!
RIP! You had a velvet voice and a golden heart! Sing to the angels!!
Fantastic. RIP dear man, unique to the world.
A song that touches my heart deeply.
My closest friend passed away a week ago. It wasn't until I heard this song, I could cry. I hope they meet each other in paradise.
Thank You Mr Cohen for helping me through all my secret heartbreaks. I don't feel so alone when I hear your songs, because I can hear that you have loved and lost as deeply as I have.
Amen.... Well put.
This is not a song about love or loss. He is asking the Lord to lend a helping hand so he can complete his "leap of faith", a struggle many of us are going through.

Beautiful words.

Pure genius. Still singing to us sweetly from the tower of song.
I want to listen to you forever. Thank you. RIP

grand respect à toi Léonard,on est tous tellement tristes...
This is a brilliant song by a brilliant man at the end of his life. This song should be treasured
Thumbs up again, leonard is the only artist that i know of that could stand in front of any dignitaries or royality or just audience and use any language he choose eloquently, brilliant (cardboard & piss) the man is just magic.
ADIÓS LEONARD. GRACIAS POR LA EMOCIÓN QUE NOS HAS TRANSMITIDO, GRACIAS POR TU LEGADO, AMIGO!
Such a magnificent song by our Leonard - such an honour to have lived at the same time
sono brani che arrivano al cuore e io le condivido con una persona speciale ed unica
Someone once said your concerts and music was " spiritual" , This song just proves that to be so true - New album pre -booked !! cant wait !
his truths are painful .... yet beautiful .... sing to me some more ........ please, keep on singing ....
SUPERB
🎼🎼🎼🎼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Once again Leonard Cohen has nailed it. What would our world be like without the words of this amazing man.
Wonderful .... Words penetrate deep within the soul !!! .... Cohen sang with his heart speaking his words to a higher power ....a message for all .
Thank you for sharing yourself with all of us. You are such a blessing. I too have met you in my heart. We are all that speck.
I fell in love with him the day we met. The day He died I met him. I normally dont love a singer. I doubt I ever loved a singer. He reached so far in his songs that reached to all my written poetry, unpublished. He is a song that inspired my awakening in his death, a beautiful story. I suppose it is between us. I think he met me without me knowing it.
One of these few really precious songs! - Thank you, Leonard!!
What a great artists Leonard is with such charm, love him...
Toujours dans nos coeurs vos si belles chansons. RIP Leonard Cohen.
A part of my life for over 60 years. What a poet who can tweek emotions with a phrase. Thanks for the dance Leonard...x
The troubles come, I saved what I could save
A thread of light, a particle, a wave
But there were chains, so I hastened to behave
There were chains, so I loved you like a slave...
That's why he is the best artist ever known.
Thank you Leonard Cohen for your music, words and voice :-)
He touches you like no other artist. The spiritual yearning for The Father held back by worldly attachments.
Love Leonard Cohen..show me place where love is always present....
The nuns used to "show me the place", and it was where the raincoats were hanging. I got used to it. Now that I'm a whole lot older, I can say there are damn few songs that make me want to get on my knees. Mr. Cohen, I bow to your mind and your voice. Can't listen to you enough. With warm aloha...
turbotat5274 top porn
It was the nuns who betrayed your trust, not God.
God bless you Leonard.
this is so lovely, how come I never heard it before
yeah its the first time I've heard it too,
At a rough guess, I'd say it's because you've never listened to his album Old Ideas.
It's from his newest album!!!!!!
Annette Doiron No it's not, it's from " Old Ideas ", an album released in early 2012.
MrKeyboardCommando Isn't that his newest album?
This song never fails to bring tears to my eyes.
C'est un réel plaisir d'écouter et de réécouter cette chanson; chaque intonation de sa voix est une impression, chaque silence est une émotion et je ne raconte même pas la musique et son violon, l'écho des chœurs, l'ambiance, etc.
Ce poème, comme toute l'oeuvre de Monsieur COHEN est un trésor d'harmonie, de sensibilité, en un mot d'humanité profonde.
A stupendous voice rowing slowly through the sacred groove with words to prove the blue.
modern world should bow down to this great man..this great voice...this great singer....hats offf....
Just when I think I've interpreted a song, I listen again and find something new, an artist by definition is this man
just so beautiful; no other words needed
I looked your photo and thought "how nice,you're still living" 3 days ago...After two days you had gone and I learnt it today.It really made me feel sad :( I wish you could hear me but I know it is most likely impossible.Nothing after death...Thanks for all your songs and your impression on us.Life is a voyage and you did it well
Leonard Cohen was truly a Great writer and I can't see anyone taking his place in Music History in the near future. Sadly missed.
