Do not stand at my gave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow.I am the sunlight On the ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn’s rain.When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rushof quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night.Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die.My Spirit is still alive…
Minha mãe morreu a 2 anos de leucemia quando estou muito triste e com saudades escuto essa música para tentar me acalmar. Foram anos de sofrimento. Eu sempre escutava essa música com ela, descanse em paz mãezinha ❤🌹.
God Bless you and your family as you endure this heartbreaking loss. But know he is with Christ and you will be reunited with him for eternity. This is 100% true. He would want you to give yourself sometime then continue living. With my deepest condolences, Maddie
How do you do it.?? One of my greatest fears is God will leave me heat till 70 or 80yrs. Your on the thresh hold of going home and leaving this evil world. If i could i would give you my remaining years and swap places with you in a hart beat.
I know the struggle to k b ow, to trust, to keep caring , despite evil, death and crying, above it all we can s I n g Halleluyah, and enter through the Gates, to the Great I AM, who is love, joy and light. ❤
Sir, that is a gorgeous quote. I'm afraid I must steal it to spread it in hopes of its intent being conveyed to greater numbers. My apologies and thanks.
I'm a Veteran living through PTSD, Pancreatic and Lung Cancer, and this man and this song makes me feel that life is worth fighting for. He was, and still is an inspiration.
Mr. Cohen was a tortured soul while here on Earth; suffering extreme prolonged bouts of depression. So, I sincerely say: Thank you for the beautiful music and rest in peace Leonard.
Agreed. I could always relate to him because I feel the same way...a tortured soul.... I am a very reflective person, an idealist which makes it hard for me to be in this place call life..the planet.. Years ago I watched his DVD in Tibet, must have watched it 20+ times trying to gain understanding.. I often revisit his clips on his honest dialog about living with depression ... I trust that death is easier than living... living is hard.... Hope he is resting...
She passed 36 yrs ago, the love of my life. There are times I fall into the abyss of desperation. This song helps to put my feet back on the ground. Till MY death us do part. Thank you Leonard Cohen.
My husband bought tickets for us to see Leonard Cohen in Milwaukee for Valentine's Day in 2013. It is one of my favorite memories. My husband died on May 20, 2021 and my world will never be the same.
I.am in France, i dont speak english but your message as touch my heart; i wish you the best for your future, may be il will be better that you think now 🥰
I’ve heard this song many times from different performers but none can ever top this one by Leonard Cohen. So much passion and feelings in his voice, thank you for this Beautiful Legacy! Rest in Peace! ❤️🙏🏼✝️
Leonard Cohen despite his fame, didnt have much money. When he was in Australia during our catastrophic bushfires a few years ago, he donated every cent he was paid to the Bushfire Appeal. NO fuss, no publicity, he just did it. RIP Great Man.
As a Jew and a great human being he did what usually is done by Jewish people, give Tzedaka.... always give wherever is needed and to whoever needs it. AM ISRAEL HAI.
Toni sorry for losing your mom on this sad day. What an excellent song to have playing at her service.Only consolation is we will all be together again.... someday
I like the way people post so if someone likes it they can come back. So I posted this and hope occassionally someone pushes "like." Love Lenny Cohen and this is his song that moves me the most. Life-affirming. So grateful he was here among us mortals for awhile.
Yawn. This is a singer by you? He's old and has no moves. Now that David Cassidy, there's a singer that could make the kids crazy I tell you. Wembley 1974, you couldn't even hear him the girls were screaming so loud. This guy? I bet you could hear a pin drop if you cut the mikes.
Il avait 82 ans : poète, musicien et chanteur, *Leonard Cohen* s'est éteint jeudi soir à Los Angeles. Né à Montréal, ce vénérable monstre sacré a bâti depuis 1966 à New York une œuvre majeure, au charme inconditionnel, emplie d'hymnes mystiques et envoûtants ayant bercé plusieurs générations de fans, et repris par les plus grands. Ultime coquetterie, l'homme au chapeau laisse derrière lui un sublime quatorzième album (_You Want It Darker_, 21/10) hanté par la mort et l'héritage. So long, Leonard.
Hallelujah (qui signifie « louer Yah ») est une chanson écrite par Leonard Cohen. Elle est enregistrée pour la première fois sur son album de 1984 intitulé Various Positions.
I'm here on Oct. 11, 2024. It's 1:30 am, and I'm preparing to give a ride to a friend who is in trouble. I'll loop this song while we're driving, hoping it will soothe him a little.
2016 - a very sad year... I will not say RIP Leonard, because in your last album you were in peace already. Hineni! Thanks friend to learn us also how to die dignified as a the gentleman you were!
Hallelujah was written by Leonard Cohen, a great Canadian from Montreal. It was one of the greatest gifts he could give the world as it is performed all over the world. Cohen now rests in peace back in his beloved Montreal.
Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" is a song full of depth and ambiguity. With poetic metaphors, it explores the complexity of love and being human. It explores the highs and lows of interpersonal relationships. Romance and passion go hand in hand with disappointment and loss. Spiritual and biblical motifs reflect the search for meaning and transcendence. "Hallelujah" is an ode to the contradictory nature of our feelings - joy and pain, ecstasy and doubt. Cohen looks compassionately at our longings and our vulnerability. The song is an appeal to embrace life in all its facets. He invites us to face the darkness and yet sing of the light. From loss can come gratitude, from doubt can be born faith. The timeless resonance of "Hallelujah" lies in this multi-layered message. Every person can find something of their own in it, draw comfort and hope. A moving hymn to the beauty and pain of being human
What an astounding writer, you are❤. It is sad to say that I can't even fine words to pin you😪. Your depth and expression of life and its intent by Mr Cohen lyrics were just AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!!❤❤❤ PLEASE KEEP WITING! 0:12 0:12 0:12
This isn't even performance, this is an old man testifying, it's a lament over a lifetime of experience and regret. It's a hymn to the sacred and profane. It's utterly sublime, the highest of high art.
The world has lost giant, a genius, and a fine man. Leonard Cohen, aged 82 passed away, apparently today. He was best known as a composer, but also wrote novels and numerous poetry collections. Most people will remember him popularly as the composer of this song, "Hallelujah", covered by many artists, and used in a number of popular films, including "Shrek", "Meet Joe Black", and television's "E.R.". For me, music I've enjoyed by a particular artist evokes the fond memories that come with the memory of that person, or others you enjoyed the music with, Leonard Cohen's rendition of "Hallelujah" with over 41 million views, a very popular rendition. Rest in peace and Shalom, Mr. Cohen, your music made me think of you as a friend, though we never met. You will live on in the memories of millions of people. The memory of you will be as a blessing for many.
John Mood Amen to that. I once had the honour of seeing him live and he was every bit of the legend he was made out to be - the best live concert ever. A great poet and voice. Thank you for the music and thank you for the words, Mr. Cohen. We will miss you, but we won't forget.
was introduced to Mr. Cohen's music when a friend's father took us to his him perform at Massey Hall in Toronto. I must have bee about 17 or 18 yrs old. As soon as he started singing in left my chair in the 1st balcony and sat on the stair....chin in my hands just mesmerized by his presence voice and gentle manner, that hid a lion. RIP Leonard Cohen.....you had and continue to have a profound influence on my life! With most heartfelt gratitude.....thank you for sharing your great gift.
Yes, he died the day before the election when Trump the crazy-making machine was elected. Now 8 years later we are at the crossroads again. Kamala Harris is my choice and I am ready for a new chapter! Please send us all the help you can from above, Leonard!
this man is the ultimate symbol of cool! A true cool cat! His new album better sell umpteen scagillion copies! Love his music and the poetry I have read,was crushed by the news tonight. bless you and keep you! May you get to heaven a half hour before the devil knows you're dead!
so much to say, but man, you sound like the best of the good folks....We'll live...dude'll be dead prolly before he gets sworn in. Thank you, at any rate.
His original version in 1984 sounds different, but he kept working with it and found the song in time. This version is my favorite and better than the hundreds of covers that have been made. I believe most of those performers don't understand the real meaning. Leonard said this isn't a joyful song, but it comes from a sadder place with a certain amount of resilience to still rejoice even when the spirit is broken.
Richard Burchett That's my definition of a happy song! Be attuned with the experienc of grace no matter the circumstances. But I've been around six decades so far. That's what I learned.
Exactly. Cohen didn't have best voice ever. His voice was very imperfect. But he was singing really emotionally and deep - that made awesome effect! In my opinion - there is no cover better than that song, even if cover is sung technically better! :D
There are very few male vocalists who can give me goosebumps not to mention tears to my eyes. That in my opinion is the mark of a true singer. What one must do is determine for oneself what constitutes a "good voice". It's not just technical ability, it is primarily where that voice is coming from.
Probably because dawg disagrees with your opinion, and feels that you shouldn't be allowed one. That attitude is rampant in today's society. I too, disagree with you completely, but nevertheless, feel that you have the right to be wrong, lol.
10-11-2024 Friday. I play therapeutic music at people's bedside. This was requested TWICE this week: once by a woman receiving a blood infusion and once by a brand new first time dad. Aaah... the power of music...
My beloved husband, Larry Williams, who loved Leonard Cohen and this song.....took his last breath on this earth while "Hallelujah" was playing💔 3-20-16
I doubt Leonard Cohen would be anything other than amused by all the debate about Judaism vs. Christianity. I think his great genius as a poet is the way in which he combines the religious and the secular in his metaphors and images. This "metaphysical" (ref. 17th century poets like John Donne) integration of the sacred and the profane relies first of all on his really intimate knowledge of the Hebrew bible. I have been a Cohen fan for as long as he's been around and I still am. Read some of the very early poems. Just brilliant. If you haven't watched k.d. lang singing this one, with him in the audience, I recommend it. Thank you, Mr. Leonard Cohen.
I'm not a religious person, so I don't think I like or dislike someone based on that. I like Leonard because of the way he uses words. And, well, he has a great voice...
100% agree. His words are wonderful. Who knows (or cares) what his religious beliefs are? But he is steeped in a tradition that values words and learning and has provided him with a bottomless supply of images which he uses to their best advantage. And I love his voice.
+Joe Martin It has a great deal of religious connotations. The opening is a description of King David writing psalms, the second verse has references to both David and Samson, and the line "Lord of Song" has very clear religious imagery behind it.
Thank you Dean for intelligent commentary rather than unnecessary personal attacks by others. Through personal channels I have been told that he was extremely intelligent and I believe, as you said, that he would be amused. I would still love to discuss it with him.
Leonard Cohen is the best of all the musicians, I am always slowly but surely expanding my vinyl collection of his work, it's more fun finding it at car boots than buying it all on eBay.
john cole Hello John I have a 1967 The Songs Of Leonard Cohen album, his first, 1st on side 1, Suzanne, 5th is Sister of mercy, Side 2, 1st track, So long Marianne, 5th track is One of us cannot be wrong. It's 33 1/3 stereo.
Today, my uncle died. now how is this even relevant to L. Cohen? Leonard Cohen was his favorite singer. He had grown up in the hippy era, saw the rise of metal, the apparition of Edm, and many more. But none of these genres brought him to a blissful joy like Leonard Cohen did, when he discovered him a few years ago, following his stroke. He had become a frail man after that incident, but Cohen's music gave him so much joy in his painful life. he introduced me to Leonard Cohen, and now that he's gone, I now realise the amazing work this singer does. Thank you uncle Michel, thank you for everything and especially, thank you for making me rediscover Leonard Cohen.
+J Schmitz ...all you got from this heartfelt post was to 'correct' realize? He very well could be from Great Britain where they still use an s instead of a z....get over yourself
I have never heard of this guy but this performance was truly humbling. It is sad to see so many good musicians and peopledie and lea ve us with nastier and meaner people
Singing isn't just about perfect pitch and vocal clarity. It's the expression of the human soul in the form of melody. Despite the technical flaws in this performance, Mr. Cohen takes all of us on an unforgettable emotional journey.
I once read an interview of a (famous) singer who said it was "just a job" to sing to the audience...which put me off that artist. Obviously some are all in and sharing their emotions with us when singing.
I’ve listened to over 73 versions of this song over the past week and I decided this the greatest version- can’t stop crying. It’s amazing how a song sounds when sung by its composer!!
Hallelujah Leonard, my endless love. You were the greatest poet ever lived, I miss you so badly. "Your eyes are soft with sorrow - hey, that's no way to say goodbye"! ♡
Hello to anyone reading this! It would mean the world to me if you could just spare 2 minutes of your spare time to check out my guitar cover of this song over on my channel. I put a ridiculous amount of time and effort in to my music. Promise you won't be disappointed!
dcdfan , im crying now knowing he is gone my eyes are so full off sadness for leonard the cohen he left as a great poet does simply vanished from our eyes he did what he wanted ,made us all cry in his last concert he visited us in jerusalem
Dear Leonard, it's been a long time since you left. But your music stay in my mind, and when I hear it, I think about all the joy, the hope, and the love you dropped in this world. When does a man really die? For me as long as we dance and cry when we listen his music. So, for you never. Rest in peace, old friend (I'm not English, so if need be, correct me please)
a man truly dies only after his memory dies , so do good with your family and leave someting behind that changes the world , be it love ,medicine ,music etc haleluya is international
Nobody sings it better than Leonard. Other singers have better voices but he gives it the emotion and the proper DICTION (pronouncing the words so they're easy to understand).
It is my first time hearing this song, in this tenure, and it's truly heartfelt ♥️ I listen to gospel music daily on my way to and from work. This is definitely added to my playlist. The first song to start my day with.
I discovered Mr. Cohen far too late in my life, when he was about to leave us, but I have been ever since a true fan of his deep, fascinating voice and his gangster-like look wearing those old fashioned hats that were his trademark...We'll never forget you, Mr. Cohen. Argentina is still mourning over you !
Well said Linda, I've been a fan since Suzanne, his first hit, yet found his later performances, and especially Hallelujah, to be even better than his early work.
These comments are making me reflect on my own life. I thank God that everything is fine in my life even though I have lost a few loved ones that hurt so bad but I thank God still. I thank Him STILL!!!
I cried the day Leonard died. This may be the finest piece of music combined with extraordinary poetry ever written. And this performance is his finest. I watch/listen at least once a week. Blessed be.
Leonard Cohen's music has been a part of my entire adult life. I was 21, in 1971, when I heard him for the first time. He touched my heart and my soul, from the very beginning.
A ton of musicians sing his songs, his lyrics rhyme and makes sense, a rarity in a lot of music. Been a listener of his music for many years also. Not all Christians would approve of some of his music. 😊😊
@@kenritola1086 I don't know what religion has to do with it, but the type of "Christian" who would reject beautiful, sensitive music that defines the human condition doesn't have a functioning heart and is just using religion as a shield to hide his judgmentalism.
@@pricklypear7516 I was mostly referring to some of his other work. I have 7 or 8 of his songs on my playlist. The lryics of some would be offensive to most christians, which means nothing to me, I merely was commenting not judging. I love this guy and his work.
I can understand from whence you're coming from. This IS a beautiful music noted song. When I'm reading the lyrics I've come to wonder just what his lyrics mean to him. I would enjoy/love to hear from him about this.
Algo similar siento, desde la primera vez que escuché a Leonard Cohen su música ha estado conmigo incluso en momentos muy importantes de mi vida. Yo en 1971 tenía 18 años y nunca me cansaré de escucharlo.
I am a grieving 79 yr old former husband(widower), I lost my love in Aug., she was a very sick lady. I didn't know that. My daughters came to our home and took her with them. One of them came and took me to their home. On the way she told me mother was on hospice😢 I am grateful that all of our descendants except one were able to say goodbye to her. I was there holding her as she passed😢😭😭 I weep all day and night since Aug. I don't know how others handle it. I don't want to
Oct. 18, 2024 Lord, we come before thee as a nation where many have fallen, asking for forgiveness as we forgive those who have trespassed against us, have mercy on us. Here our prayers in the masses as we call upon thee to heal our nation.
Leonard Cohen September 21, 1934--November 10, 2016 Eternal rest grant unto him, oh Lord ans let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace
The words are beautiful, always were. His heartfelt rendition are beyond it, we're the lucky ones who have them immortalized for us to listen to. Another traveler has moved on.
I have been so sad about the terrible things happening in the world. I listened to this song and it lifted me up. Thank you to Leonard Cohen for the wonderful words and music. The whole world needs to sing this.
In my first year English class at UBC in 1969, the prof let us choose the poet we studied. We chose Leonard ... and his poetry has lived with me ever since. I went through a few vinyl copies if his albums. God bless Leonard for eternity
My cat is as put down today. I grieve and feel came upon Mr. Cohens song. Perfect timing for what m heart cries out for. What a tremendous gift he left us. 😢😊
I dedicate this to my son Jamie, who died while on active duty in the Navy. I should have played this at his services but I wasn't thinking clearly, losing a son. I think he forgives me now, he loved this song. RIP Jamie.
He was legendary, in his life and now that he passed. His music, his songs will live on forever. Thank you for a beautiful music master of your art. RIP.
Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. Psalm 147:5 ✝🌅 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. Luke 12:7 ✝🌅 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 ✝🌅
MERCI, Léonard, MERCI, une voix unique, une mélodie à frissonner, des belles paroles, tu nous laisse un héritage fantastique, pour les générations futures. Tes chansons je les aimais tant , en écoutant les premières dans les années 78 , pendant que la pluie frappait les carreaux et que le vent faisait tomber les feuilles. Depuis cette année là je ne t'ai jamais oublié , tu es parti là haut,mais tes chansons restent en bas pour le plus grand plaisir de tous ! Merci et encore Merci !
il restera à jamais dans nos coeurs ce grand poète avec cet immense talentet sa voix si belle, un grand merci à lui pour tout ce qu'il accomplit dans sa vie d'artiste
Taking off your hat at the end to thank the audience for their appreciation of your work is sadly something that you don't see anymore. What class action he was.
I have been listening to his music since the '70's . It is a sad day to hear of his death, but great that this song and his music continue to honor him . RIP Leonard Cohen
Certains pensent encore que "Hallelujah" est l’œuvre de Jeff Buckley, bien sûr c'est faux. Bien avant, Leonard Cohen en composait mélodie et paroles. Rarement on aura vu artiste aussi complet que ce Canadien à la fois parolier, compositeur, interprète, poète et romancier. Même les autres chanteurs anglophones ne s’y sont pas trompés puisque son œuvre a donné suite à 1.500 reprises. Pour n’en citer que quelques uns, Neil Diamond, Diana Ross, Joan Baez, Joe Cocker, Bob Dylan et bien entendu, plus récemment le regretté Jeff Buckley qui a fait émerger COHEN de sa retraite d'icône avec sa reprise d'"Hallelujah"...
Do not stand at my gave and weep
I am not there,
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.I am the sunlight
On the ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn’s rain.When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rushof quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there.
I did not die.My Spirit is still alive…
He's pure consciousness now. One in unity with creation.

Do not mourn that he is no more; celebrate that He was.
Sir, that is a gorgeous quote. I'm afraid I must steal it to spread it in hopes of its intent being conveyed to greater numbers. My apologies and thanks.
He still is. He went "home" - that "tomorrow" finally came.
Not only that he was--He was as few other people have ever been. Now that is something to celebrate.

Mr. Cohen was a tortured soul while here on Earth; suffering extreme prolonged bouts of depression. So, I sincerely say: Thank you for the beautiful music and rest in peace Leonard.
you could tell he went through a lot I his life. when he sings it's as if he's closing the book on his own life. give it one final effort.

Jeff Buckleys version is ghostly ! Just him & a guitar . It sounds supernatural.
Yes, he is the original artist. He was a brilliant songwriter

A splendid, timeless song! How many here to listen to it in 2024?

I listened to the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" Good will overcome Evil!!
Exactly my feelings!
Leonard Cohen despite his fame, didnt have much money. When he was in Australia during our catastrophic bushfires a few years ago, he donated every cent he was paid to the Bushfire Appeal. NO fuss, no publicity, he just did it.
RIP Great Man.
Truly great man
This does not surprise me. Thank you for posting this. Rest in peace.
as i recall, he really got ripped off by his manager.
As a Jew and a great human being he did what usually is done by Jewish people, give Tzedaka.... always give wherever is needed and to whoever needs it. AM ISRAEL HAI.

Il avait 82 ans : poète, musicien et chanteur, *Leonard Cohen* s'est éteint jeudi soir à Los Angeles. Né à Montréal, ce vénérable monstre sacré a bâti depuis 1966 à New York une œuvre majeure, au charme inconditionnel, emplie d'hymnes mystiques et envoûtants ayant bercé plusieurs générations de fans, et repris par les plus grands. Ultime coquetterie, l'homme au chapeau laisse derrière lui un sublime quatorzième album (_You Want It Darker_, 21/10) hanté par la mort et l'héritage. So long, Leonard.

Hallelujah (qui signifie « louer Yah ») est une chanson écrite par Leonard Cohen. Elle est enregistrée pour la première fois sur son album de 1984 intitulé Various Positions.

Hallelujah was written by Leonard Cohen, a great Canadian from Montreal. It was one of the greatest gifts he could give the world as it is performed all over the world. Cohen now rests in peace back in his beloved Montreal.

A great song, a terrible man!!
Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" is a song full of depth and ambiguity. With poetic metaphors, it explores the complexity of love and being human.
It explores the highs and lows of interpersonal relationships. Romance and passion go hand in hand with disappointment and loss. Spiritual and biblical motifs reflect the search for meaning and transcendence.
"Hallelujah" is an ode to the contradictory nature of our feelings - joy and pain, ecstasy and doubt. Cohen looks compassionately at our longings and our vulnerability.
The song is an appeal to embrace life in all its facets. He invites us to face the darkness and yet sing of the light. From loss can come gratitude, from doubt can be born faith.
The timeless resonance of "Hallelujah" lies in this multi-layered message. Every person can find something of their own in it, draw comfort and hope. A moving hymn to the beauty and pain of being human

This isn't even performance, this is an old man testifying, it's a lament over a lifetime of experience and regret. It's a hymn to the sacred and profane. It's utterly sublime, the highest of high art.
Agreed! Well said
Dirty old man😂
The world has lost giant, a genius, and a fine man. Leonard Cohen, aged 82 passed away, apparently today. He was best known as a composer, but also wrote novels and numerous poetry collections.
Most people will remember him popularly as the composer of this song, "Hallelujah", covered by many artists, and used in a number of popular films, including "Shrek", "Meet Joe Black", and television's "E.R.".
For me, music I've enjoyed by a particular artist evokes the fond memories that come with the memory of that person, or others you enjoyed the music with, Leonard Cohen's rendition of "Hallelujah" with over 41 million views, a very popular rendition.
Rest in peace and Shalom, Mr. Cohen, your music made me think of you as a friend, though we never met. You will live on in the memories of millions of people. The memory of you will be as a blessing for many.
Best comment I've seen
John Mood
Amen to that. I once had the honour of seeing him live and he was every bit of the legend he was made out to be - the best live concert ever.
A great poet and voice. Thank you for the music and thank you for the words, Mr. Cohen. We will miss you, but we won't forget.
John Mood so is he the one who initially made the song?
I never could figure out if it was him or someone else for sure
was introduced to Mr. Cohen's music when a friend's father took us to his him perform at Massey Hall in Toronto. I must have bee about 17 or 18 yrs old. As soon as he started singing in left my chair in the 1st balcony and sat on the stair....chin in my hands just mesmerized by his presence voice and gentle manner, that hid a lion. RIP Leonard Cohen.....you had and continue to have a profound influence on my life! With most heartfelt gratitude.....thank you for sharing your great gift.
RIP Leonard Cohen (September 21, 1934 - November 7, 2016), aged 82
You will be remembered as a legend.
Yes, he died the day before the election when Trump the crazy-making machine was elected. Now 8 years later we are at the crossroads again. Kamala Harris is my choice and I am ready for a new chapter! Please send us all the help you can from above, Leonard!

so much to say, but man, you sound like the best of the good folks....We'll live...dude'll be dead prolly before he gets sworn in. Thank you, at any rate.
This is the authentic version by the author during his comeback in the final years of his life. ❤️🙏
Such a shame that this man has passed away. May you rest in Peace Sir. The original and best version IMHO
It's a masterpiece of love and understanding. What a voice!
His original version in 1984 sounds different, but he kept working with it and found the song in time. This version is my favorite and better than the hundreds of covers that have been made. I believe most of those performers don't understand the real meaning. Leonard said this isn't a joyful song, but it comes from a sadder place with a certain amount of resilience to still rejoice even when the spirit is broken.
Richard Burchett That's my definition of a happy song! Be attuned with the experienc of grace no matter the circumstances. But I've been around six decades so far. That's what I learned.
The best version♥️♥️♥️

I'm 69 yrs old and this song gives me the chills every time I hear it, by many singers. Thank you Mr. Cohen for this beautiful song.
I find this reaches into your soul and you realise you are not alone God is with you always
Google the little uns singing this.. Of course I did. Music rules 😮❤❤❤❤
This song is good with or without a good voice, a true musical genius this was.
Exactly. Cohen didn't have best voice ever. His voice was very imperfect. But he was singing really emotionally and deep - that made awesome effect! In my opinion - there is no cover better than that song, even if cover is sung technically better! :D
There are very few male vocalists who can give me goosebumps not to mention tears to my eyes. That in my opinion is the mark of a true singer. What one must do is determine for oneself what constitutes a "good voice". It's not just technical ability, it is primarily where that voice is coming from.
Neither was Johnny Cash's, but that doesn't detract from either being a legend.

@Mary Gores-Williams
Sorry for your loss.
I doubt Leonard Cohen would be anything other than amused by all the debate about Judaism vs. Christianity. I think his great genius as a poet is the way in which he combines the religious and the secular in his metaphors and images. This "metaphysical" (ref. 17th century poets like John Donne) integration of the sacred and the profane relies first of all on his really intimate knowledge of the Hebrew bible. I have been a Cohen fan for as long as he's been around and I still am. Read some of the very early poems. Just brilliant. If you haven't watched k.d. lang singing this one, with him in the audience, I recommend it. Thank you, Mr. Leonard Cohen.
I'm not a religious person, so I don't think I like or dislike someone based on that. I like Leonard because of the way he uses words. And, well, he has a great voice...
100% agree. His words are wonderful. Who knows (or cares) what his religious beliefs are? But he is steeped in a tradition that values words and learning and has provided him with a bottomless supply of images which he uses to their best advantage. And I love his voice.
+Joe Martin It has a great deal of religious connotations. The opening is a description of King David writing psalms, the second verse has references to both David and Samson, and the line "Lord of Song" has very clear religious imagery behind it.
👍👍👍
Thank you Dean for intelligent commentary rather than unnecessary personal attacks by others. Through personal channels I have been told that he was extremely intelligent and I believe, as you said, that he would be amused. I would still love to discuss it with him.
I lost my husband nearly 8 years ago and every day is a struggle. This song helps.

Hello John I have a 1967 The Songs Of Leonard Cohen album, his first, 1st on side 1, Suzanne, 5th is Sister of mercy, Side 2, 1st track, So long Marianne, 5th track is One of us cannot be wrong. It's 33 1/3 stereo.
Today, my uncle died.
now how is this even relevant to L. Cohen? Leonard Cohen was his favorite singer. He had grown up in the hippy era, saw the rise of metal, the apparition of Edm, and many more. But none of these genres brought him to a blissful joy like Leonard Cohen did, when he discovered him a few years ago, following his stroke.
He had become a frail man after that incident, but Cohen's music gave him so much joy in his painful life.
he introduced me to Leonard Cohen, and now that he's gone, I now realise the amazing work this singer does.
Thank you uncle Michel, thank you for everything and especially, thank you for making me rediscover Leonard Cohen.
The feels man. Sorry for your loss.
**hugs** It's weird that I feel for you but I do. May your pain pass swiftly and his memory remain.
sorry for your loss, r.i.p. for your uncle !

I am 74 I adore 2:05 this song Michael Bolton and Helene Fischer together is slso wonderful
Singing isn't just about perfect pitch and vocal clarity. It's the expression of the human soul in the form of melody. Despite the technical flaws in this performance, Mr. Cohen takes all of us on an unforgettable emotional journey.
I once read an interview of a (famous) singer who said it was "just a job" to sing to the audience...which put me off that artist. Obviously some are all in and sharing their emotions with us when singing.
Those aren't "technical flaws." Those are the idiosyncratic grace notes of a man who has earned the right to use them.
So very true!! Great artists share their genius with us. Thank heaven for these beautiful souls.

Dear Leonard, it's been a long time since you left.
But your music stay in my mind, and when I hear it, I think about all the joy, the hope, and the love you dropped in this world.
When does a man really die?
For me as long as we dance and cry when we listen his music.
So, for you never.
Rest in peace, old friend
(I'm not English, so if need be, correct me please)
A person really dies when the last person to ever speak their name dies. For Leonard it may be never.
a man truly dies only after his memory dies , so do good with your family and leave someting behind that changes the world , be it love ,medicine ,music etc

Leonard Cohen's music has been a part of my entire adult life. I was 21, in 1971, when I heard him for the first time. He touched my heart and my soul, from the very beginning.
A ton of musicians sing his songs, his lyrics rhyme and makes sense, a rarity in a lot of music.
Been a listener of his music for many years also. Not all Christians would approve of some of his music. 😊😊
@@kenritola1086 I don't know what religion has to do with it, but the type of "Christian" who would reject beautiful, sensitive music that defines the human condition doesn't have a functioning heart and is just using religion as a shield to hide his judgmentalism.
@@pricklypear7516 I was mostly referring to some of his other work. I have 7 or 8 of his songs on my playlist. The lryics of some would be offensive to most christians, which means nothing to me, I merely was commenting not judging. I love this guy and his work.
I can understand from whence you're coming from.
This IS a beautiful music noted song.
When I'm reading the lyrics I've come to wonder just what his lyrics mean to him. I would enjoy/love to hear from him about this.
Algo similar siento, desde la primera vez que escuché a Leonard Cohen su música ha estado conmigo incluso en momentos muy importantes de mi vida. Yo en 1971 tenía 18 años y nunca me cansaré de escucharlo.

@@dgcarson7385 Jesus: allow me to introduce myself.
No, but seriously. I was in your exact same shoes. But I found my purpose. Thanks to Jesus.

MERCI, Léonard, MERCI, une voix unique, une mélodie à frissonner, des belles paroles, tu nous laisse un héritage fantastique, pour les générations futures. Tes chansons je les aimais tant , en écoutant les premières dans les années 78 , pendant que la pluie frappait les carreaux et que le vent faisait tomber les feuilles. Depuis cette année là je ne t'ai jamais oublié , tu es parti là haut,mais tes chansons restent en bas pour le plus grand plaisir de tous ! Merci et encore Merci !
Jean-Pierre DEMOURES merci pour tout mon ami dans le ciel 🙁😞
Jean-Pierre DEMOURES Amen

RIP Leonard.
legend of musicb
I have heard it for first time ,Hmm Maybe Because I am from Iran
More than 300 artists
recorded Leonard’s
“Hallelujah “. It will
always touch every
soul.❤
Do you know of an album that includes Leonard and many of the others doing his song?
Wow!
Wa-elegy
It's amazing. That voice should be heard through time.
Still like his own version best!
The guy on the keyboards is terrific.
I see a musician on the keyboards who is keen on his job. And makes it very well. A little bit different, but we are not all the same.
Dit is leslie orgel
The man is sooo incredibly soulful! I love it!
He is great.

You know -- for a clinically depressed old guy, Leonard always had the hottest female backup singers!
❤😂love this group .
Taking off your hat at the end to thank the audience for their appreciation of your work is sadly something that you don't see anymore. What class action he was.
Yes indeed! That gentleman was a pure class act.
A very special gesture from a very spevial gent! Sorely missed.
😂✌
Maybe its because people dont wear hats these days
He always doffed his hat when one of the musicians was taking a solo - he was a true class act.
I have been listening to his music since the '70's . It is a sad day to hear of his death, but great that this song and his music continue to honor him . RIP Leonard Cohen
** So sad///
I have been crying since yesterday
i cry with you peace to you léonard i love you so much
Certains pensent encore que "Hallelujah" est l’œuvre de Jeff Buckley, bien sûr c'est faux.
Bien avant, Leonard Cohen en composait mélodie et paroles. Rarement on aura vu artiste aussi complet que ce Canadien à la fois parolier, compositeur, interprète, poète et romancier.
Même les autres chanteurs anglophones ne s’y sont pas trompés puisque son œuvre a donné suite à 1.500 reprises.
Pour n’en citer que quelques uns, Neil Diamond, Diana Ross, Joan Baez, Joe Cocker, Bob Dylan et bien entendu, plus récemment le regretté Jeff Buckley qui a fait émerger COHEN de sa retraite d'icône avec sa reprise d'"Hallelujah"...
Thomas Fowler I agree, and thank you for your service!
