In 2014 I had cancer, a big operation, when I came too I listened I listened to Leonard on my headphones in hospital often till 3 in the morning. I am alive and this guy guided me through the dark times. Rip my dear friend!
Yes, my wife and I walked up the steps to his house in Hydra, Greece. When we opened the door, there was Marien, just sitting there at her desk typing his lyrics, and musical notes on sheets of paper. Then we walked to the window and opened the blinds. OMG what a perfect view of the Mediterranean sea. Here he wrote his best music. Thank you, Leonard Cohen
@@Eternity47890 It was September 2019, our tour guide had the key to the door for Marien and Leonard's apartment. So, my Greek wife and I just stood at window, holding hands, and observed the Mediterranean Sea.
68 years, cancer survivor, with a 97 year old mum. No relationships for the past 12 years. I have had a lot of time to reflect on life and why we are here. I play this song and have learned it on guitar. I get misty when I read about their time in Hydra and how he told Marianne that he wasn't far behind her before he died. Blessings.
´'Well Marianne, it's come to this time when we are really so old and our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you very soon. Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can reach mine. "And you know that I've always loved you for your beauty and for your wisdom, but I don't need to say anything more about that because you know all about that. But now, I just want to wish you a very good journey. "Goodbye old friend. Endless love, see you down the road."'
I’ve never listened to him, I’m a 43 year old music lover, I’ve heard this song a million times before on the radio but for some reason I decided to listen to this live version today… I have listened to it about ten times in a row! It’s so good and I love the way as, an old man he can sing it in such an understated yet powerful way ❤️ thanks for uploading it
I discovered LCohen as a young woman getting started in life in Berlin with a guy who became my husband. We spent hours listening to Leonard Cohen in our Berlin flat. His voice will always remind me of those bygone days. Thank you LC. Amazing songs and voice
Eine unverwechselbar markante Stimme und ein sehr schönes melodisches Lied. Ich liebe dieses Lied von Leonard Cohen und habe manchmal auch mitgesungen .Seine Lieder sind zeitlos schön .
Great song! Love the 'live' version. Leonard was a genius. He was a poet, novelist, singer, and a legendary song writer. This is one of his best. An homage to a lost, but eternally enduring love. What a song! RIP Leonard & Marianne.... I will listen and love this song till I join you on the other side...
You've been just a few month behind her, hope you found her again. Your story is one of the most beautiful love story I heard. RIP Marianne Ihlen and Leonard Cohen - and thank you for being with us enriching our lives.
Das hoffe ich auch für die Beiden. Die Beziehung muss schon etwas sehr besonderes gewesen sein. Ich hoffe, dass sie oben im Himmel ihr Leben leben können, was scheinbar auf Erden nicht möglich war.😍😍😍😍
I don't think any sane person can hold back their tears while listening to this magnum opus by the man himself. What a genius Leonard Cohen was! My go-to song whenever I feel down and blue. ❤
One of the best singers of my time, along with Cat Stevens, Neil Young, The Beatles, Rolling Stones ... Woodstock ... and so many others too, who have moved so much and are no longer known today. Was a great time !!!
How can I say (So long )to my wonderful friend Yvonne it has been a wonderful year with you back in my life over 60 years or more apart - from Scotland to Texas ❤❤❤
I sing this version of this song, one that rips me apart every time, to my son every night and it helps him off to sleep! I hope he'll grow to love it as I do.
Leonard Cohen es irrepetible, su 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. Adoraba y adoro sus canciones, me aportan tanto, que estaré eternamente agradecido a este mensajero tan elevado. Gracias MAESTRO LEONARD COHEN
Vous avez rejoint Marianne .. deux étoiles brillent dans le firmament ... en un splendide message envoyé pour son départ et préparant le votre pour vite la rejoindre ! C'est beau .. merci Mr Cohen
I also saw him in 1970 or 71 at Place des Arts (with his whole band) in Montreal. It was my first time at a live concert. I was 16 or 17. BLEW ME AWAY! Fifty years later, I still love this man...his music will definitely stand the test of time. RIP Leonard.
Er war und ist der Größte aller Zeiten, ich liebe seine Musik und seine dazu passende Stimme. Jeder Song von Ihm ist ein echtes Erlebnis und dazu die besten Musiker, die ich so noch nie gehört habe. Einfach ganz große Klasse, vor allem sein Halleluja.
Quelle merveilleuse voix et quelle belle âme avait cet homme.Je ne me lasse pas de l écouter,un vrai bonheur.Merci! Monsieur Léonard Cohen.Je vous espère auprès des anges car là est votre place.🙏RIP
The more I watch this video, the more I appreciate the Web sisters, and Sharon. Yes SHARON with capitals, she did so much for Leonard to get back on track. And of course Marianne's soul just hangs over the song.
Maestro LEONARD COHEN siempre estará en los corazones de los que amamos su música su voz tan personal y maravillosa , gracias allí donde estés 🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌠❤️❤️🌺🌺🌍
My heart aches for my favourite singer, followed you Leonard since 1975 ... and blessed to see you in concert twice...farewell my friend, I truly miss you.
I am writing this from my beautiful wife Ada's ipad who is in hospital I have been her career for the past 12 years and just want her back home manly tears listening to the wonderful genious that is LC. Keith
Bonjour LEONARD COHEN Belle chanson, superbe interprétation, c'était un homme extraordinaire ! Je vous souhaite un merveilleux weekend et toutes mes amitiés MONICA
A series on tv few yars ago played this song out. Both brothers had different interpretations of the lyrics. Cohen was magical in doing that. The series was This Is Us. Was awesome to see them use this song in the show.
Sad? Maybe. For some poet/artists a long term commitment can negatively affect their art. I think of Joni Mitchell. Once she got married around 1980 (for 11 years), the number of her new great songs dropped off quite a bit. The exploration of a new love can be the spark which gets the creative mind to come alive.
It seems to me that this is one of the best performances of this song.Tears - as always, but changes in the text are also important.He never stopped working on "So Long, Marianne".
Meu bom jesus da capelinha, o que é isso? Simplesmente, completamente, totalmente fantástico, fico boquiaberto toda vez que ouço, tenho certeza que o céu vive em lindas festas com Leonard Cohen
That harmonica is awesome! Hit's deep! Very talented with lots of feeling. I sound like a jerk myself judging all. I have to take it all back My bad! I miss you and your talent Leonard, I miss the band!
Che commozione. Quest' uomo,che ha vissuto tanto amore,canta e ricorda la sua giovinezza con una donna,ma senza rimpianto,ma ancora con amore e determinazione verso nuove esperienze. Non nascerà più un uomo come te..
I think I love his old voice more than anything because he knows what he's singing about.
In 2014 I had cancer, a big operation, when I came too I listened I listened to Leonard on my headphones in hospital often till 3 in the morning. I am alive and this guy guided me through the dark times. Rip my dear friend!
Wow, glad your ok. amazing how much comfort music can give. Cohen's voice phrasing and words are amazing. All the best x
I am so pleased to read your story.
Keep safe.
Elizabeth ♥️, all the best.
My beloved wife is recovering from cancer and LC has helped me through the drakest of times, from my youth and through that. Love and blessings.
Ammazing

did you really open the door?
Because I visited it in July 2023 and it was locked

You are not alone :(
Einer der ganz großen Persönlichkeiten der Gesangskunst!
Cried and cried when I knew he had left this world. Genius that was Leonard Cohen. RIP you beautiful man
Քո հեռանալուց նա էլ ,,լաց կլինի,,😅
This is a true love song.
One ?
there will never be another LEONARD SIMPLY THE BEST
Leonard Cohen, Rest In Peace.. Unique soul and character with extraordinarily natural artistic skills. I am sad we lost him anyway.
Very lovely, today is my birthday and a shop owner mentioned Leonard Cohen and a song Marianne. So I thought I would look it up and have a listen.
´'Well Marianne, it's come to this time when we are really so old and our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you very soon. Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can reach mine.

So beautiful...
He must’ve really love her amongst the others… so enchanting indeed
He is the best , so intelligent and interesting , you never know what his next words are going to Be!!!! HA!!
What class he had
I’ve never listened to him, I’m a 43 year old music lover, I’ve heard this song a million times before on the radio but for some reason I decided to listen to this live version today… I have listened to it about ten times in a row! It’s so good and I love the way as, an old man he can sing it in such an understated yet powerful way ❤️ thanks for uploading it
Wow, for an old man, he sure could still hit those deep notes. What a great voice.
Saw him in Atlanta, he came back on stage 4 times.
His most gorgeous backup singer you never see her, he is a genius.
I discovered LCohen as a young woman getting started in life in Berlin with a guy who became my husband. We spent hours listening to Leonard Cohen in our Berlin flat. His voice will always remind me of those bygone days. Thank you LC. Amazing songs and voice
Cool story. Wishing you happiness ❣️
G 90 ans, vie lourde. Merci leonard Cohen.. Entrevotrevoix et tous vos messages, merci car vous vivrez a jamais... ❤❤❤❤
Eine unverwechselbar markante Stimme und ein sehr schönes melodisches Lied. Ich liebe dieses Lied von Leonard Cohen und habe manchmal auch mitgesungen .Seine Lieder sind zeitlos schön .
Love this. My parents used to play it loud through the house. I must have been 5 or 6 years old. All gone now. RIP all.
Great song! Love the 'live' version. Leonard was a genius. He was a poet, novelist, singer, and a legendary song writer. This is one of his best. An homage to a lost, but eternally enduring love. What a song! RIP Leonard & Marianne.... I will listen and love this song till I join you on the other side...
What makes this song so special is the letter Leonard sent to mariann when he heard she was dieing
Leonard Cohen bleibt in unseren Herzen unsterblich.
Tears in my eyes! Leonard and Marianne, rest in peace!
You've been just a few month behind her, hope you found her again. Your story is one of the most beautiful love story I heard.

Thank God and Never Forget A Wonderful Gift to the world.....
Leonard Cohen....Memories of you are for Blessings...Rest in Peace 🙏
I had the most amazing chances to see him 3 times in concert, the highlights of my whole life
More Cohen condensed into one song you'll probably never find! Simply great!
I cannot believe it is 6 years ago that he died. His music struck such a chord with so many, myself included.
Ich muß auch immer weinen wenn ich Leonhard höre. Er hat einfach super Lieder, mit wunderbarer
Musik 🎶 und super Texte !
Rest in peace, Mr. Cohen. You truly were a gift for all of mankind. Love from Denmark ♡
A master artist! Few speak with his candor , openess and genuine honesty. I love him. Leonard Cohen, may you rest in peace in paradise❣
I'm 75 years old. Cohen is a master poet and gets to ones soul and says it right
One of the best singers of my time, along with Cat Stevens, Neil Young, The Beatles, Rolling Stones ... Woodstock ... and so many others too, who have moved so much and are no longer known today. Was a great time !!!
this guy was a cut above
What can one say, this song will forever remain
True that
How can I say (So long )to my wonderful friend Yvonne it has been a wonderful year with you back in my life over 60 years or more apart - from Scotland to Texas ❤❤❤
your girlfriend is Harriet you must run home to kiss Harriet very much
you always reach into my soul... as a poet and singer, loved him in the 60's and he still sends chills...RIP you are one like no other...
I sing this version of this song, one that rips me apart every time, to my son every night and it helps him off to sleep! I hope he'll grow to love it as I do.
The performer and the song are wonderful !!!

And Soldo surely adds to it

Immer wieder...und immer wieder unübertroffen!DANKE!😊🙏
Saw this man at the I.O.W POP festival in1970 .didn't realize at the time that I was watching the best singer songwriter EVER.
I also saw him in 1970 or 71 at Place des Arts (with his whole band) in Montreal. It was my first time at a live concert. I was 16 or 17. BLEW ME AWAY! Fifty years later, I still love this man...his music will definitely stand the test of time. RIP Leonard.
Uma chuva de estrelas caiu dos céus! Agora ✨✨✨✨
Masterly performed, the shining singing poet, thanX Leonard Cohen, shine in Heaven.
After watching the documentary of Leonard and Marianne and their love affair in Greece this song only grows.
Beautiful, I have just started to explore the music of this so very talented man
Er war und ist der Größte aller Zeiten, ich liebe seine Musik und seine dazu passende Stimme. Jeder Song von Ihm ist ein echtes Erlebnis und dazu die besten Musiker, die ich so noch nie gehört habe. Einfach ganz große Klasse, vor allem sein Halleluja.
A fantastic performance as moving as when he was young. Cant think of another artist where you dont have to make an age allowance. Total respect!
i prefer his voice when he was older. More emotion
I love this song so much, i love every Leonard song, he is the music of my life
I'm new to this singer but falling in love with that voice. I'm sorry I wish I'd known you earlier. But will always listen to you now.
What a wonderful man. So sad he is no longer with us. RIP

Eternamente Leonard , sempre maravilhoso , humilde , grande ser humano, ficará para sempre em meu coração ❣
Hugely talented, love his poetry and music. Sad that he could never commit.

Once she got married around 1980 (for 11 years), the number of her new great songs dropped off quite a bit. The exploration of a new love can be the spark which gets the creative mind to come alive.
One of my favourite song s Leonard Cohen just saying hello and injoy life with music best wishes shame he has passed away
It seems to me that this is one of the best performances of this song.Tears - as always, but changes in the text are also important.He never stopped working on "So Long, Marianne".
Comment ne pas lâcher quelques larmes en écoutant cette voix sublime, cette musique exceptionnelle ? Comment ?
