That shot of Leonard just absolutely trancing out to the Webb Sisters' vocals always gets me. It just speaks volumes about both the man's humility and his veneration of beauty. Rest well, Leonard! We'll try to keep the candle burning!
Leonard thank you for everything. For decades your lyrics and melodies are in my bloodstream. Your generosity and grace knows no bounds. Your anthem says it all, 'there is a crack in everything, that's where the light gets in.' Though you are gone, the light remains. In gratitude.
You could hear a pin drop during that song at every concert they did in those years - we were truly blessed to see him three times. Leonard was the best poet of the modern era, and whats more he perfected the union of poetry and song, of mind, heart and soul.
I was so fortunate to take my mother to Leonard Cohen’s final/this concert tour. When the show was over she looked at me and said “Well, I guess that’s it”. I asked her what she meant and she replied “If I never see another live performance, I am satisfied’. She has since passed on. This song, and concert are etched in my heart and memory forever.
Thanks. Every time I hear this beautiful "If It Be Your Will," tears fill my eyes. Beautiful. May the Lord be with the Webb Sisters, always: "The Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice!": Salve Regina.
If it be your will That I speak no more And my voice be still As it was before I will speak no more I shall abide until I am spoken for If it be your will If it be your will That a voice be true From this broken hill I will sing to you From this broken hill All your praises they shall ring If it be your will To let me sing From this broken hill All your praises they shall ring If it be your will To let me sing If it be your will If there is a choice Let the rivers fill Let the hills rejoice Let your mercy spill On all these burning hearts in hell If it be your will To make us well And draw us near And bind us tight All your children here In their rags of light In our rags of light All dressed to kill And end this night If it be your will If it be your will
Almost impossible to pray at times. Church is the least place to find the Lord. These beautiful soft songs are my prayers to God. They help me to connect.
This is how the angels look and sound. Thank you The Webb Sisters for this little piece of heaven. Thank you Leonard Cohen for making it all possible. RIP Maestro
This is paradise,if you don't get it here,you won't get it anywhere....perhaps you have missed your calling,and will be reborn for another round of birth death reincarnation as we all will be.
Yet another example of why Leonard is Immortal. Timeless inspiration for all of us. These ladies take his work to an additional higher level. Such is the spirit of man and woman. Thank You.
One of Canada's great treasures. He always draws in amazing artists to interpret his psalms and sonnets and secrets of life; the Webb Sisters are amazing. Surely, angels would stop in flight to listen. Thanks albertnoonan.
Can you imagine what it feels like to compose a song, and have it sound like something in your mind, and then have it manifest itself in sublime voices......... epic.
This is a beautiful song and lyrics written by a great Canadian Jewish artist who lived in a monastery as a monk where he didn't speak for a number of years After overcoming depression he has emerged as one if the greatest artists of our time. This song is more of a prayer and by the looks of things it has been answered Saw him in concert - it was perfection perfection
I was at this, an incredible performance. I'm not a religious person but I certainly worshipped at Leonard's altar that evening. He was simply mesmerising, all the musicians were incredible, and, as you can hear, the Webb Sisters, along with Sharon Robinson, were angelic. So long Leonard old friend
Perfect; it just gets better every time they do it. Leonard must feel he's gone to heaven to listen to this every night. Thank you, girls; you've given me the most sublime pleasure through this interpretation.
My Last years prayer and I started to play the harp A 47 yr promise to me from my husband, turn bucket list. I learnt a very easy score of Allelujah and today I am still enjoying the company of my husband. Thank You Webb Sisters and Leonard Cohen
It's beautiful. I use to read this lyrics to my father who passed away this year. I just couldn't hold my tears back. Thank you Dear Leonard, you truly speak to the soul.
Comment from Marlene Brackenborough This is the first time I have seen and listened to this unbelievably beautiful, humble and gracious offering from the "God of poetry, song and verse" I am moved to tears by its simplistic beauty, the Webb sisters harmonizing perfection to perfection. I am in the final countdown of my life and listen/watch the senior Mr Cohen constantly. He reaches into my soul like no one else ever could or has. I always see a "holiness" in his countenance which comforts the fear of my advancing demise. It dispels all my fears. So, I watch and I listen mesmerized by this elderly gentleman that I adore so very much. I liked him as his younger version, but he had a bit of "arrogance" going on there !! He mellowed into his elder self like an natural morphosis, this natural occurrence taking him to the ethereal status of his seniority. Leonard Cohen, I love you and miss your earthly genius so very much. Thank God that your poetry and song will outlive your earthly body by so many decades. RIP maestro.
Simon Browbridge, thank you. Your wise advice is given caringly and I appreciate it. I do not use social media much. This time has been one in which I have been weak, but I have regained a lot of my real self. I will remember all you have said, inspirational words, kind comments and warnings. I am fortunate to have communicated with you - a good person and one who knows Christ. I am thankful for your offer to be contacted and will remember it. God bless you.
And I was there on that night in Belfast almost 10 years ago to the very day. When I heard the master recite and the Webb sisters sing this prayer. You could have heard a pin drop ... exquisite 💚🇮🇪💙
I currently have the cd that these ladies made a few years ago...so now, I can listen to this beautiful song when ever I like. Thank you Mr. Cohen for all of your great music that you left us with. May you rest in peace my brother... you will be greatly missed!!!
We must all die. That is what it is. To be born, to live, and to die. When I am close to death, I want to listen to this song with the Web Sisters. So beautiful.
Thanks Albert for posting this, I was there- Incredible show. I had the pleasure of seeing The Webb Sisters in a small intimate venue in Belfast 2 weeks ago, Fantastic night, Beautiful harmonies and met the girls afterwards.
OMG. THIS IS SUCH AN AWESOME, AWESOME SONG. I think I will say this same prayer. I love this. If you haven't heard this, you've got to hear this. Now THAT is A SINGER'S PRAYER.
blessed are all of those who come to this video every now and then
That shot of Leonard just absolutely trancing out to the Webb Sisters' vocals always gets me. It just speaks volumes about both the man's humility and his veneration of beauty.
Rest well, Leonard! We'll try to keep the candle burning!
His veneration of beauty…I adore this formulation

True!
A simple "thumbs up" is no where near enough.....
Leonard, you've brought me through my life, within the hardest times! With all my thanks! Keep an eye in me! Thanks and again: RIP!
Il le fait. Il le fait pour tous...
I was so fortunate to take my mother to Leonard Cohen’s final/this concert tour.
When the show was over she looked at me and said “Well, I guess that’s it”. I asked her what she meant and she replied “If I never see another live performance, I am satisfied’.
She has since passed on. This song, and concert

Thanks. Every time I hear this beautiful "If It Be Your Will," tears fill my eyes. Beautiful. May the Lord be with the Webb Sisters, always: "The Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice!": Salve Regina.
If it be your will
That I speak no more
And my voice be still
As it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until
I am spoken for
If it be your will
If it be your will
That a voice be true
From this broken hill
I will sing to you
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing
If it be your will
If there is a choice
Let the rivers fill
Let the hills rejoice
Let your mercy spill
On all these burning hearts in hell
If it be your will
To make us well
And draw us near
And bind us tight
All your children here
In their rags of light
In our rags of light
All dressed to kill
And end this night
If it be your will
If it be your will
Thanking everyone for a master piece. God help us, don't let us down and alone...
My God...I never listened to him enough,this is absolutely heavenly....good job ladies.
Even when he stands in the shadows..., he makes the Angels sing.
The pure beauty of this music is all the religion I need.
Almost impossible to pray at times. Church is the least place to find the Lord. These beautiful soft songs are my prayers to God. They help me to connect.
Not bad for a lapsed Jewish man from the priestly caste. He definitely exudes spirituality. RIP
This is how the angels look and sound. Thank you The Webb Sisters for this little piece of heaven. Thank you Leonard Cohen for making it all possible. RIP Maestro
Love the poetry of Leonards words and the Webb sisters angelic voices
This is paradise,if you don't get it here,you won't get it anywhere....perhaps you have missed your calling,and will be reborn for another round of birth death reincarnation as we all will be.
Yet another example of why Leonard is Immortal. Timeless inspiration for all of us. These ladies take his work to an additional higher level. Such is the spirit of man and woman. Thank You.
Beautiful Song reminds me of all the best times I've ever had in life thank you Leonard Cohen
As Leonard said: Beautiful. R.I.P., Leonard Cohen! The world truly lost one of the great poets of the 20th and 21st century when you passed away.
Leonard Cohen
Gone but not forgotten
We miss you MAN
Greetings from Dublin Ireland brother and sisters
One of Canada's great treasures. He always draws in amazing artists to interpret his psalms and sonnets and secrets of life; the Webb Sisters are amazing. Surely, angels would stop in flight to listen. Thanks albertnoonan.
Una volta non mi ba. sta mai ,allora la riascolto e sospirò. Grazie Leo e grazie webb sisters
Can you imagine what it feels like to compose a song, and have it sound like something in your mind, and then have it manifest itself in sublime voices......... epic.
Yes! I have been thinking the same. Synergy defined.
When this man's poetry and musical lyrics stop resonating in our hearts and souls the end has indeed come to our species.
This is a beautiful song and lyrics
written by a great Canadian Jewish artist who lived in a monastery as a monk where he
didn't speak for a number of years After overcoming
depression he has emerged as
one if the greatest artists of our time. This song is more of a prayer
and by the looks of things it has been answered
Saw him in concert - it was perfection
perfection
Yes, I saw him last year in London and it was an incredible concert.
Annette Light Thank you for bringing this story into the LIGHT, the world needs people like you, Leonard Cohen was only as good as those that listed
He may have lived as a monk, but he had permission to slip away and drink coffee with women in a cafe...
routeoz02 so what . He drank coffee with WOMEN ?
Annette Light u
Two voices of angels.
voices from heaven, music from heaven...and lyrics from great poet
i cried when they did it in vienna. so much love for this man and his art. no words can ever explain these feelings.
What a wonderful true prayer... Leonard Cohen... may you rest in peace!
I saw this live concert in five different cities, just could not get enough of it. This song brought me to tears every time... we love you Lennart !
Thank you for the reality check, and tears.
He has left us but he will always be with us. Always.... our Maestro!!!
Absolutely mesmerizing!!! The harmony of the sisters and the beautiful poetry take you to another place for a brief moment in time. RIP Leonard
I was at this, an incredible performance. I'm not a religious person but I certainly worshipped at Leonard's altar that evening. He was simply mesmerising, all the musicians were incredible, and, as you can hear, the Webb Sisters, along with Sharon Robinson, were angelic. So long Leonard old friend
This lovely song is one of Leonard s grandest creations RIP and thank you for all these gifts you gave to us
Totally blessed to have seen and heard this man. As I die, I hope I can hear his music carry me away. Thank you Leonard
Best adaptation of a song i´ve ever heard. Pure magic...
Perfect; it just gets better every time they do it. Leonard must feel he's gone to heaven to listen to this every night. Thank you, girls; you've given me the most sublime pleasure through this interpretation.
This is peace inside, happiness. Leonard Cohen forever.
Leonard touched my heart with his music, with his lyrics.. hard to accept that he left for ever! may he rest in peace!
He came to me in a dream when I was going through a hard time..he’s an angel now. 💜✨💜
RIP Leonard. Thanks for giving them the stage for this fantastic rendition. :(
I had the privilege to attend one of his last concerts, I have goose bumps reviewing this
This still makes me cry. My dear Leonard. I hope you found a good place. I will love you forever.
The greatest singer/song writer & poet of 20 the century. Have been hooked on him since 1970 when I first listened to Suzanne.
Now my eyes are soft with sorrow. Farewell dear friend, the author of the soundtrack of my life❤️
My Last years prayer and I started to play the harp A 47 yr promise to me from my husband, turn bucket list. I learnt a very easy score of Allelujah and today I am still enjoying the company of my husband. Thank You Webb Sisters and Leonard Cohen
what's there to say? this is music, these are voices of angels, Cohen is a spokesman for the gods is he not?
Yep ... !
Yes brother, he is!
@@RebekahCurielAlessi Amazing how connections keep happening
I could endure the torture of Hindu Nephilim for 10 years just listening to your songs. Thank you so much from this broken hill
dios de la Luz, gracias por Crear la sensibilidad de unas voces tan exquisitamente maravillosas.
MASTRO COHEN Nunca dejaré de escucharte siempre te llevo conmigo.DIOS. TE TIENE COMPLACIDO PORQUE ALLI LE BRINDAS TU VOZ.TUS MELODIAS TU CANTO. AMEN.
It's beautiful. I use to read this lyrics to my father who passed away this year. I just couldn't hold my tears back. Thank you Dear Leonard, you truly speak to the soul.
same here ;my dad passed away this year too.;still hurts.
Harika bir ses dinlemeden geçmeyin tesekkurler
So wonderful ... his words, and his respect for the singers bringing them to life.
The Webb sisters have a beautiful voice, singing a beautiful song! I could listen to this song forever... it is so soothing.
I love quite a few of Leonard Cohen's songs but this is the first time I'm hearing this one. Another achingly beautiful tune and lyric.
FANTASTIC MUSIC!! THANK YOU Mr. COHEN!! 👉❤👈🎵💞🎵💞🎵😘😘😘
Im a grown man, and ive got tears in my eyes. lol. ........just so beautiful!!!!
