Relevant ? It's literally a blue print of what's going to happen. The global agenda for worldwide socialist domination ( NWO) WAS supposed to start by the year 2000 there was supposed to be a total media shutdown and a po lice st ate introduced and they were going to blame it on the w2k bug . So artists in the know either tried to prepare ppl mentally or warn ppl from about the late 80s to late to early 2000s, however the problem was where ever the globalist would meet there would be mass riots and protests against them since a lot of ppl knew about this . American m ilitia were on high alert 📢 for the introduction of the world 🌎 govern ment and were willing to fight it . So the elite changed plans staged 911 introduced a bunch of laws to fight "terrorism " and subdued all resistance. In 2020 co vid was introduced and new laws were legislated removing freedoms. This is not a prophecy it's a person telling of future plans ( I mean the song ) . Nothing new Babylonians , pharoahs , and some roman emperors had totalitarian governments even the Vatican had its own from 1000 to 1400 . Only difference is this generation of Satanists have more technology and ppl are sleepwalking right into their doom .
Did I Ever Love You is one of my favourite songs of LC. A distillation of everything before, in a way. But I love it all. Even his old poetry. All the pain and exaltation. I'm not old - I'm from Montreal~
In 1971 I did my high school English paper on the poetry of Leonard Cohen. Amazing he continued to the end. What a soul. This song is troubling and on the mark.
These are plans in place for over a 150 years , artists in general know about them because they socialize with the elites . Zero prophecy just a guy who's letting you know . FYI there are books and movies on the topic, 1 book would be ( 1 9 8 4 goerge Orwell) .
No he wasn't a prophet, he was in on it and he's telling you, practically gloating, what they're gonna do to you just like they did Egypt and Babylon and Rome and Russia and Germany. You can't tell the difference between the devil and the air.
I had the privilege to watch him live... It was so magical that when he came back again (last concert he gave in my country) I just didn't want to go. I didn't want to spoil what I've witnessed. It was also the last concert I attended with my mother. Ive been in tons of concerts, festivals in my life but Leonard... You gave us something to remember for eternity! Thank you! 🙏🏻
I saw him perform several times. Twice, I was able to meet him and told him how much I loved him and his music. He said 'come here' then stood up and gave me a big kiss ON THE LIPS and a big hug. God bless him.
I've just been talking about the covid tyranny with my neighbours. People know what's going on but don't know what to do. I always turn to Leonard in times of crisis. 'Love is the engine of survival' hang in there. Resist.
Full confession. Oliver Stone turned me onto Leonard Cohen by using a shortened version of this song in his movie "Natural Born Killers" in 1994. Before then, all I knew by Mr. Cohen was "Everybody Knows." First I bought the soundtrack. Then I bought Cohen's CD "The Future" and started collecting all of his work. I was blown away. As he aged, his work got better. I love it all and miss the man deeply. But his music lives on!
@@martinalewis2844 Same here, in Czech . World is sometimes strange. Even stranger is that i had listened song in this morning, and when i had opened mail, - there was message about Your answer to #joehinson9460 . I loved this coincidence- maybe Leonard say Hello from Heaven :)
The future: one day like today (7/11/2023) but in 2016, Mr. Leonard Cohen passed away with "the deep and beautiful sadness inside". Thanks a lot, Master ❤(from Jujuy,Argentina)
Won’t be nothing you can measure anymore. The blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold. The breaking of the ancient western code. Here we all are in 2024 and there it all is…. Lucky we had Leonard

Give me Leonard Cohen every night, that tranquil beauty of delight.... that profound feeling, I require for survival.

There are no words to fill his void, there are no symptoms left to cure, because when Leonard Cohen died, so did...a legendary idol. - P
@@carolinewatts2117he was a man of prophecy & even more. Mr. Cohen had the mean’s & opportunity to travel the world, so he chose to find the answer through studying each religion, taking many years to find the answers to the mysteries of life, being given the answer before his time here was over; he DID find the answer, so that was time well spent. I never met the man in this world but look forward to our next conversation after my time here is done, spending the rest of it in obedience bc I am only 62 & hope God will continue to work through me. Just wanted to answer your question about him with a very righteous judgment. GBU with a beautiful weekend. :)
@LikeARollingStone248 Thank you for such a beautiful & poetic tribute. Such great words brought together from obviously a wonderful soul makes me think that you have already found the answer to the question Leonard looked so hard to discover & did find bc the answer was within him all along, knocking at the door of his heart. We can’t judge bc we must remember the group of God’s people that were blinded, but you should know that Leonard DID find The Door before his time was up bc I am a witness, although my age & time here are almost almost done, so pardon the arthritic typos. It felt right to let you know bc your words reveal a caring soul. Had Leonard been born with such birth defects as I was, the world would have missed out on so much beautiful music he created while on his journey, which definitely did have a happy ending.Hopefully you understand & get peace from this message. GBU & yours, always. :)
@@coreynewbigging9280 I can tell you what it means to me? That unless one is in a state of love, one isn't headed in the direction of life. I would also add, if I may, being Jewish myself as Mr Cohen: it's a big deal in our culture to "choose life". On the other hand, whatever that lyric means to you is what it means.
@@RebekahCurielAlessi I see, I have been a fan of Leonard for a while now, never explored much of his later music. Came across this tonight, listened to it 3 times already, very powerful words will definitely listen more to understand the meaning behind it.
Poetry to cool music, Leonard was a genius and underappreciated by most. Every human being should experience Leonard's artistry and he would be on Ontario's curriculum to get the teens to stop listening to the mostly sheer garbage they play on the radio more and more. Leonard was a true artist who was a treasure to us all. Leonard we thank you for your legacy and those who know of you will make sure our children also know who you were and your music!
Leonard couldn't have written & sung this any better!! This song is definitely a prophecy. It's amazing that he sings about this time because it is happening here in 2021! Absolutely is!
There are themes, yes, but I don't think what he prophesied is happening quite yet... It's not worse than genocide yet. I suspect he received a vision about Neuralink/BCIs. Strap in, baby. Amazon is gonna gamify your thought process, sensory perception, memory and consciousness for profit. Might not be for another generation or so. But we're gonna have the technology and we're not gonna have enough legal control over corporations to stop it.
@@MrSwitchblade327 ... What because he was Jewish? And the biggest scariest thing your tiny imagination can process is an anti-semitic conspiracy theory? If so you have no idea what this song is about my dude. These lyrics are full of Kierkegaard references. Hopefully I'm wrong... Please explain further if your comment was alluding to something more interesting :)
Такого блюзмена как был Коин,больше ни когда мы не услышим. Мы горды тем,что слышали его мысли,выражения и песни вслух. Вечная память .....мы помним ВАС МАЭСТРО
Leonard Cohen es irrepetible, su discreta elegancia, su sencillez, su sobria y limpia sonrisa, su voz profunda, su hondo sentimiento, sus coros, sus músicos... Leonard Cohen fue un magnífico y fecundo poeta, un compositor genial, un intérprete simpar y un ser humano UNICO. Adoro sus canciones, me aportan tanto y me dan tanta paz, que estaré eternamente agradecido a este mensajero de meditaciones y reflexiones tan elevadas. Gracias MAESTRO COHEN
Most singers get worse with age, but Cohen, although his voice changed gets much better. When he sings, it is almost like the preaching of a disciple of humanity.
Umm 🤔, I’m 70ish, and imho think Dylan, Neil Young, and some others from those even earlier years were better ‘poets’ than Cohen, based on their song’s lyrics and ‘hidden’ meanings - along with their unique ability to ‘predict’ the future. I’m not saying I don’t like, or feel differently about Cohen though, esp with this song in particular - he too was somewhat ahead of his time, unknowingly writing about the 👎 state of our world 🌎 today, and the multiple, terrible situations.
I feel confident that the Mandela effect is foretold in the 'things are gonna slide' and 'won't be nothing you can measure anymore' lines too.. Before the effect was really common or known! Except, alot of us think this song is one.. We don't remember it, and we remember different versions too. He was a sort of prophet, but not a typical one, alot of his work was placed in the past to comment on arcane events as they unfolded or concluded..
@@davidjohntimothyford5443 ironic how the "Mandela effect"😱😱😱 picked the appropriate time to manifest itself (digital media and internet connected world) where censorship, altering and deletion can happen instantly eh? 21st century form of book burning and reshaping historical events can now be done instantaneously whenever wherever right under millions of noses and easily explained away with the creation of "the maandellaaa eeffeeect"😱😱😱😱. Because they know the masses are unfortunate knowledge deprived gullible sheep heards grazing away. They know because they made it that way shaping this false reality wonderland. The time is coming back around again (as you now should be able to see) for the plan to do it again and reshape the world for their "new age"
I saw Cohen 7 times on stage between 1970 and the last 3 times here in Stockholm between 2008 up to his death 2015. Well his songs are the truth sung in poetry and one of his best songs is called >The Future< always describing the time ahead us with light humour together with the worst kind of life that always waits for us .... >give me back the Berlin wall, give me back Stalin in St. Paul ..... love from Sweden ❤❤❤ ruclips.net/video/8WlbQRoz3o4/видео.html
It was the best concert I ever saw and I am aged 52 and have seen so many big name artists live since I was 15 or 16. He was at the top of his game and his band was first class. I am lucky I went to see him perform on two different tours from this " comeback period" .
Leonard is without doubt a man of intense depth and consciousness, he touches another dimension, a man that we have been fortunate to have had his music, his words, his thoughts...............we could all do with a bit of Leonard Cohen in us. The world I am sure would be a better place. RIP Leonard, a gift allowed to walk among us all be it for a short time.
Шедеврально,потрясающе,это моя любимая песня Леонарда Коэна.саундтрек из любимого фильма 90-х прирожденные убийцы.его песни вечно будут слушать во все времена.Леонард Коэн лучший!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have always adored Leonard Cohen since 1969. So perceptive, ironic,funny,Handsome and his voice unique. It is wonderful to continue to enjoy his songs...
Yes did not take me long to figure that out.....I also know many things, that I cannot talk about, and love this man having restored my confidence. I am a widow and have a boyfriend, though I moved because he is a communist, could not deal with that, so rather live alone, than listen to his bull. thank you for you noting what I know, I know many things beyond the stars.
Freaking brutal how he can make fun of everyone & make it sound like poetry!!! I bet he could stab you in the heart & make you feel good about it... Love this man
Как же долго я его искал, по одному только слову из песни (хиросима), мне казалось, что песню пел Крис Ри, я переслушал всех Крис, и Крис Ри, и Крис Норман, и Крис Де бург, пока не нашёл его. Человек легенда, человек стиль...😀
I am so happy that is long depression period finally ended. You can see it in his face that he's enjoying being on stage. Everything about these performances from the background singers and musicians and LC himself are all on point. RIP LC you done good.
Mr. Cohen, thank you sincerely. I've just stubbled across your amazing art. The most authentic thing I've ever experienced. Such beauty and eloquence in every word spoken. RIP King 👑
Me and my wire discovered him in1972. And still listningen to him almost Evert Friday/Saturday. He is the best all categorys. Saw him alaive in Gothenburg 2010. Sir Leonard Cohen RIP.
In retro perspective I can't imagine a more haut culture or stylish event than to listen to a live performance by L.C in a piano room. Woth some Chateauneu du F pape red and a cigarillo
@Biblical Loyalist If I die this moment I simply wouldn't exist anymore. There is nothing after death. What makes us us, our character, is our brain. When that stops working, what generally is the same as death, we, as real persons more or less stop existing. There is no soul, nothing that could move into a imagined afterlife or whatever. What isn't measurable has no effect. We are far enough advanced to be able to say that then no soul or the like exists.
Ouvi essa música no filme "Assassinos por natureza" em 1994, e como no ano anterior o mesmo quase aconteceu comigo, tanto o filme quanto a música sempre ficou nas minhas memórias, e sempre quis assistir de novo. Hoje estava chapado e resolvi chapar muito mais e assistir esse filme, para ver se a onda seria a mesma de quando assisti há muitos anos. Mudei muito, meus gostos mudaram, más o mundo não mudou. Por isso ambos são muito atuais. A verdade é que em nenhum momento do futuro alguém poderá dizer que tanto o filme como a música não é atual. A não ser quando este mundo deixar de existir.
Bless....Song of the Future he has left us to listen to and digest. Never, ever forget this song. First I heard of it was ina bar in Amsterdam and was the day I would have died trying thing Ive never tried before and will never. Despite my ordeal, this song kept lingering on my mind
This song becomes more relevant every other day.

Mr. Cohen had the mean’s & opportunity to travel the world, so he chose to find the answer through studying each religion, taking many years to find the answers to the mysteries of life, being given the answer before his time here was over; he DID find the answer, so that was time well spent. I never met the man in this world but look forward to our next conversation after my time here is done, spending the rest of it in obedience bc I am only 62 & hope God will continue to work through me. Just wanted to answer your question about him with a very righteous judgment. GBU with a beautiful weekend. :)
@LikeARollingStone248 Thank you for such a beautiful & poetic tribute. Such great words brought together from obviously a wonderful soul makes me think that you have already found the answer to the question Leonard looked so hard to discover & did find bc the answer was within him all along, knocking at the door of his heart. We can’t judge bc we must remember the group of God’s people that were blinded, but you should know that Leonard DID find The Door before his time was up bc I am a witness, although my age & time here are almost almost done, so pardon the arthritic typos. It felt right to let you know bc your words reveal a caring soul. Had Leonard been born with such birth defects as I was, the world would have missed out on so much beautiful music he created while on his journey, which definitely did have a happy ending.Hopefully you understand & get peace from this message. GBU & yours, always. :)
@@crystalbelle2349 You are the sweetest ❤ Thank you so much for letting me know. Your words made me teary eyed, GBU as well 🥰
@@carolinewatts2117 A man of prophesy.....lol "of course"
Angel in the heaven. Best artist. And from the future
“Love is the only engine of survival.” ....
Boy is that true!!!
Gave me the shivers bruh...
I'm trying to put together what this lyric means, could you explain?
@@coreynewbigging9280 I can tell you what it means to me? That unless one is in a state of love, one isn't headed in the direction of life. I would also add, if I may, being Jewish myself as Mr Cohen: it's a big deal in our culture to "choose life". On the other hand, whatever that lyric means to you is what it means.
@@RebekahCurielAlessi I see, I have been a fan of Leonard for a while now, never explored much of his later music. Came across this tonight, listened to it 3 times already, very powerful words will definitely listen more to understand the meaning behind it.
Poetry to cool music, Leonard was a genius and underappreciated by most. Every human being should experience Leonard's artistry and he would be on Ontario's curriculum to get the teens to stop listening to the mostly sheer garbage they play on the radio more and more. Leonard was a true artist who was a treasure to us all. Leonard we thank you for your legacy and those who know of you will make sure our children also know who you were and your music!
“Give me back Stalin and St. Paul” love that line
God! I hove Mr. Cohen's vocals!! I wish I was able to attend his live concerts!! RIP Mr. Cohen, there will never be another like you!!
My favorite Cohen song
Very timely. Everything is cyclical
Things will slide in all directions.... Oh Leonard.
Leonard couldn't have written & sung this any better!! This song is definitely a prophecy. It's amazing that he sings about this time because it is happening here in 2021! Absolutely is!
There are themes, yes, but I don't think what he prophesied is happening quite yet... It's not worse than genocide yet. I suspect he received a vision about Neuralink/BCIs.
Strap in, baby. Amazon is gonna gamify your thought process, sensory perception, memory and consciousness for profit.
Might not be for another generation or so. But we're gonna have the technology and we're not gonna have enough legal control over corporations to stop it.
@@Jokaanan po dogovoru pa še ne l9 PP po prvem polčasu pomen pp
Prophecy is easy when the prophets are the writers as well as the instruments of %prophecy's" manifestation .
@@MrSwitchblade327 ... What because he was Jewish? And the biggest scariest thing your tiny imagination can process is an anti-semitic conspiracy theory? If so you have no idea what this song is about my dude. These lyrics are full of Kierkegaard references. Hopefully I'm wrong... Please explain further if your comment was alluding to something more interesting :)
@@MrSwitchblade327
It's their world. You are just an NPC.
Leonard Cohen forever 🙏
Такого блюзмена как был Коин,больше ни когда мы не услышим. Мы горды тем,что слышали его мысли,выражения и песни вслух. Вечная память .....мы помним ВАС МАЭСТРО
Человек, сформировавший мой музыкальный вкус. Слушаю с благодарностью его. Голос обворожительный.
Точно. Шедевр. Таких больше нет. Вечная память, мастер!
Кстати, да..Круче Коэна, представитть кого-то очень сложно.Его харизма-Космос😀
Leonard Cohen es irrepetible, su discreta elegancia, su sencillez, su sobria y limpia sonrisa, su voz profunda, su hondo sentimiento, sus coros, sus músicos... Leonard Cohen fue un magnífico y fecundo poeta, un compositor genial, un intérprete simpar y un ser humano UNICO. Adoro sus canciones, me aportan tanto y me dan tanta paz, que estaré eternamente agradecido a este mensajero de meditaciones y reflexiones tan elevadas.
Gracias MAESTRO COHEN
Most singers get worse with age, but Cohen, although his voice changed gets much better. When he sings, it is almost like the preaching of a disciple of humanity.
LC is the greatest poet of all Times.
Umm 🤔, I’m 70ish, and imho think Dylan, Neil Young, and some others from those even earlier years were better ‘poets’ than Cohen, based on their song’s lyrics and ‘hidden’ meanings - along with their unique ability to ‘predict’ the future. I’m not saying I don’t like, or feel differently about Cohen though, esp with this song in particular - he too was somewhat ahead of his time, unknowingly writing about the 👎 state of our world 🌎 today, and the multiple, terrible situations.
Truly the best singer, songwriter ever
I was just telling my 11 year this exact statement. He loves every Leonard Cohen song I've played for him.
I've thought about this a lot... I agree
This is Leonard the prophet, he knew what 2020 was going to be! He had the very best musicians on this tour. They are a joy to hear and see.
I feel confident that the Mandela effect is foretold in the 'things are gonna slide' and 'won't be nothing you can measure anymore' lines too.. Before the effect was really common or known! Except, alot of us think this song is one.. We don't remember it, and we remember different versions too. He was a sort of prophet, but not a typical one, alot of his work was placed in the past to comment on arcane events as they unfolded or concluded..
Amazing another smart person, that has figured this out....awsome
@@davidjohntimothyford5443 ironic how the "Mandela effect"😱😱😱 picked the appropriate time to manifest itself (digital media and internet connected world) where censorship, altering and deletion can happen instantly eh? 21st century form of book burning and reshaping historical events can now be done instantaneously whenever wherever right under millions of noses and easily explained away with the creation of "the maandellaaa eeffeeect"😱😱😱😱. Because they know the masses are unfortunate knowledge deprived gullible sheep heards grazing away. They know because they made it that way shaping this false reality wonderland. The time is coming back around again (as you now should be able to see) for the plan to do it again and reshape the world for their "new age"
@@MrSwitchblade327 They're capable of that and more, but my 19th century bible used to read the lion in Isiah 11:6 and doesn't anymore..
Leonard meant Ucrania invasion
He was 100% right. Amazing. 1992 was a peaceful optimistic time. Talk about prophecy.
I saw Cohen 7 times on stage between 1970 and the last 3 times here in Stockholm between 2008 up to his death 2015. Well his songs are the truth sung in poetry and one of his best songs is called >The Future< always describing the time ahead us with light humour together with the worst kind of life that always waits for us .... >give me back the Berlin wall, give me back Stalin in St. Paul ..... love from Sweden ❤❤❤

What lyrics, what delivery, what excellent harmonies and band! Superb performance.
It was the best concert I ever saw and I am aged 52 and have seen so many big name artists live since I was 15 or 16. He was at the top of his game and his band was first class. I am lucky I went to see him perform on two different tours from this " comeback period" .
This man is a visionary....
He visioned Ucrania
I have loved Leonard Cohen since I was a teenager. His music has always spoken to me. I agree, he was a prophet.
Leonard is without doubt a man of intense depth and consciousness, he touches another dimension, a man that we have been fortunate to have had his music, his words, his thoughts...............we could all do with a bit of Leonard Cohen in us. The world I am sure would be a better place. RIP Leonard, a gift allowed to walk among us all be it for a short time.
Fantastic
YOU SAID IT BROTHER...2023!
@@metaphysician9 😮
Fantastico❤, futurista, no en vano tuvo tantos años en meditación buscando como trascender😊❤❤
Yes, but "don't go home with your hard-on."
Gives me goosebumps every time I listen to the song...
Great man, An Angel 🎶🎶🎶🎶
Bless to you that you feel it and know it.
And me
Love Leonard Cohen, RIP! I feel so lucky to have seen one of his last concerts.
Yes, me too! It was the most I’ve ever paid for a concert ticket, and I would have paid twice that. One of the true prophets of our times
Me too!
Шедеврально,потрясающе,это моя любимая песня Леонарда Коэна.саундтрек из любимого фильма 90-х прирожденные убийцы.его песни вечно будут слушать во все времена.Леонард Коэн лучший!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wie schön muß ein Lied sein ❤❤❤
I have always adored Leonard Cohen since 1969. So perceptive, ironic,funny,Handsome and his voice unique. It is wonderful to continue to enjoy his songs...
The real Nostradamus here on earth. Love Leonard ❣️
Yes did not take me long to figure that out.....I also know many things, that I cannot talk about, and love this man having restored my confidence. I am a widow and have a boyfriend, though I moved because he is a communist, could not deal with that, so rather live alone, than listen to his bull. thank you for you noting what I know, I know many things beyond the stars.
You are correct....what a man.
БРАВО! Голос, манеры -- все восхищает!!!
LC's "The Future" will be the requiem for the 21st century.
Love is indeed the only engine of survival...
Freaking brutal how he can make fun of everyone & make it sound like poetry!!! I bet he could stab you in the heart & make you feel good about it... Love this man
Legendary
Yeah bolsheviks were always good at that, nothing new.
@@abominationdesolation8322 Yup. Would be more admirable to just say who actually are the bolsheviks though...🇮🇱
@@spider-keithasmr38 Stalin, Lenin... the communists who established the USSR(Sovie Union)
@@NNovoselski yes... stalin and lenin are both jewish
Как же долго я его искал, по одному только слову из песни (хиросима), мне казалось, что песню пел Крис Ри, я переслушал всех Крис, и Крис Ри, и Крис Норман, и Крис Де бург, пока не нашёл его. Человек легенда, человек стиль...😀
Я по Сталину и Берлинской стене в свое время искала
Como me gusta k buenos recuerdos❤
I am so happy that is long depression period finally ended. You can see it in his face that he's enjoying being on stage. Everything about these performances from the background singers and musicians and LC himself are all on point. RIP LC you done good.
Are you the one that told me you wrote this lyrics , they blocked it
@@beateellis5182 not me.
He was the best. I know he is in a good place.
I LOVE LEONARD COHEN, YOU FOREVER ❤️❤️❤️🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
ЛЕГЕНДА С БОЛЬШОЙ БУКВЫ❤❤❤
I wish i got to see him before he passed 🥲☹️ always wanted to since i was a kid 😢
Mr. Cohen, thank you sincerely. I've just stubbled across your amazing art. The most authentic thing I've ever experienced. Such beauty and eloquence in every word spoken. RIP King 👑
What a gas of a song... it is murder! Thank you Leonard and band, you make my spirit fly ❤
Leonard was a prophet.
Какой голос обволакивающий! Красивая "окраска" голоса.
Leonard in fine voice here and that band swings.
Who ,once listened his voice,music, that will all the time.
The song I was listening to in Amsterdam when I first tried dope and my last lol. I'm glad I survived, but this song stuck on me
Now that is good ! ........ i was there - a true Legend and sorely missed .......
Still here
@@jhpable Fantastic !
You are so lucky!
It's like a poetic reading of 'power' and 'oppression'...more than a 'prophet', I feel this man is a modern-day Philosopher.
❤
The secret is .... the golden voice ... etc.... and it's herethere and everywhere...
Those lyrics... Astonishing. "The bleeding hearts and the artists."
Me and my wire discovered him in1972. And still listningen to him almost Evert Friday/Saturday. He is the best all categorys. Saw him alaive in Gothenburg 2010. Sir Leonard Cohen RIP.
он прекрасен!! он великолепен!!! его будут слушать всегда!!! невероятный голос!!!
Верните нам Ленина !!
His bands were always the very best!
My god, such a Prophet!!
Brilliant! Inspired! Eerily prophetic of forces already unfolding right before our eyes.
Тембр голоса сводит с ума поколения, никто больше так не сможет❤❤❤
In retro perspective I can't imagine a more haut culture or stylish event than to listen to a live performance by L.C in a piano room. Woth some Chateauneu du F pape red and a cigarillo
Leonard Cohen upee ääni I Like ❤🇨🇦😊👍🎤
Was introduced to Mr Cohen by a good friend back in the early 2000s .what a legend my mate wasn't to bad either jez Thorley
Старик и море - Хемингуэй - живьём.
It's more than a song!
It's the truth. That's all Mr. Cohen ever spoke.
@@brianmcelroy2106 It's indeed.
@Biblijski Lojalist you may have listened to the story but,... obviously, you didn't "hear" it.
@Biblijski Lojalist I suggest for you to busy more of living instead of busy about future of others!! ruclips.net/video/IjjCp_QU5Qk/видео.html
@Biblical Loyalist If I die this moment I simply wouldn't exist anymore. There is nothing after death. What makes us us, our character, is our brain. When that stops working, what generally is the same as death, we, as real persons more or less stop existing. There is no soul, nothing that could move into a imagined afterlife or whatever. What isn't measurable has no effect. We are far enough advanced to be able to say that then no soul or the like exists.
MY DEEPEST RESPECT. MR LEONARD YOU HAVE A GREAT VOICE. YOU'RE AN EXCELLENT SINGER THE BEST. IM STILL LISTENING TO YOUR MUSIC
Une voix inoubliable, un grand merci
Wonderful. I just wish I saw him live
Me also, a very interesting man,
Ouvi essa música no filme "Assassinos por natureza" em 1994, e como no ano anterior o mesmo quase aconteceu comigo, tanto o filme quanto a música sempre ficou nas minhas memórias, e sempre quis assistir de novo. Hoje estava chapado e resolvi chapar muito mais e assistir esse filme, para ver se a onda seria a mesma de quando assisti há muitos anos. Mudei muito, meus gostos mudaram, más o mundo não mudou. Por isso ambos são muito atuais. A verdade é que em nenhum momento do futuro alguém poderá dizer que tanto o filme como a música não é atual. A não ser quando este mundo deixar de existir.
It could have been written today! Good old man rest in peace. The world is on fire !!!
He voices all our longings and our lives. Now the future, from so long ago .............he got it right.
At 2:05, I start getting chills. I pray I always will. One of the greatest, most profound lyrics written. Thank you.
If he is in heaven,I want to go there,finaly meet him.
Oh yes indeed!
Utterly superlative!
Bless....Song of the Future he has left us to listen to and digest.
Never, ever forget this song. First I heard of it was ina bar in Amsterdam and was the day I would have died trying thing Ive never tried before and will never. Despite my ordeal, this song kept lingering on my mind
Truthful elegance...That is our Leonard.
Song written and performed so deeply.. superlike it..
Люблю все песни в его исполнении.!!!!!!!
