The future: one day like today, seven years ago, Mr. Leonard Cohen passed away with all his words of hopes and sadness write on the walls of every souls. Thanks a lot, Master.❤(from Jujuy,Argentina)
So Correct - day after the president of Iran was killed shortly after he dropped 300 bombs on a Nation and a People who came back from the dead after 2500 years - REST In Peace Leonard - Hope you found your SHALOM
This was maybe the strangest song we used to play in my 8th floor dorm room at the University of Toledo in 1996 (on Natural Born Killers soundtrack), but it was perfect for late-night singalongs.
I saw him live on tour for The Future album in April or May only of '93. Crazy that he seemed such an old soul at that time, but was really only in his late 50s. A young chap!!
Yeah--I posted this and noted that same thing. This was the shorter and slightly changed version of that song as well. The lines in this song are just killer. "The blizzard; the blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold and it's overturned the order of the soul."
This song proves that Leonard Cohen is an actual prophet, singing Karl Shwab's anthem 30 years ahead. Paul Shaffer, Another Canadian playing O Lord Please Dont Let Me Be Misunderstood is funny
Tell me that HE was not a visionare..........................

Just like CBS to require him to change "anal sex" to "careless sex". I'd like to have been there when they went round and round about that. This was a short version of the song.
he botched this song a few places.... he screwed the meter of the song and kept hitting off beats but not consistently.... it sounded sloppy coz of it. I'm a huge fan but this was not a good rendition.

Best song ever written
how he enters the room like the master he is.
No back up singers. No band. No problem. NBC furnished them.

Truth is stranger than fiction.
The man, the legion, my favorite poet. I love Leonard Cohen.
His voice just sounds so soothing. Like he drank gin, Smoked cigarettes and drank black coffee for twenty years!
His voice (singing style?) have only IMPROVED with time. So smooth.
красавчик, дякую за пісню!
He’s having so much fun
дивовижно, генільно, талановито!
"Love's the only engine of survival"
Always such a captivating performer
Miss you Leonard !
He changed a few words but I don't give a shit. It's still a great song.
R.I.P. LEONARD. 😎😎👍👍
Nice to see him reunited with Sid McGinnis, who played on Various Positions.
Miss you sir.
I saw him live on tour for The Future album in April or May only of '93.
Crazy that he seemed such an old soul at that time, but was really only in his late 50s. A young chap!!
Hes messed up the lyric at 3:17 but still played it off well... "Things are gonna slide... Slide in all directions"

He sure did mess up..but that’s okay, the singers and band kept going..we miss u Leonard!!
Thank you
Trump will usher in a world of darkness. Cohen would have hated him. Please educate yourself.
Miss him so ....

Loves the only engine of survival.
Лео просто прекрасен, а эта песнь моя любимая
That was cool, no doubts, man.
I love the "HEY LEAONARD EH... COHEN" how you doing..."
God bless Lennie!
Great!!❤️
це божественно!
An anthem.
The Laibach version is fantastic, Cohen would've loved it
Tell me that HE was not a visionare..........................
"Give me back my broken night
My mirrored room, my secret life
It's lonely here,
There's no one left to torture
Give me absolute control
Over every living soul
And lie beside me, baby
That's an order
Give me crack and anal sex
Take the only tree that's left
And stuff it up the hole
In your culture
Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St. Paul
I've seen the future, brother
It is murder
Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
Won't be nothing
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
Has crossed the threshold
And it has overturned
The order of the soul
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) >>>>>>>>>>>>>
You don't know me from the wind
You never will, you never did
I'm the little Jew
Who wrote the Bible
I've seen the nations rise and fall
I've heard their stories, heard them all
But love's the only engine of survival
Your servant here, he has been told
To say it clear, to say it cold
It's over, it ain't going
Any further
And now the wheels of heaven stop
You feel the devil's riding crop
Get ready for the future
It is murder
Things are going to slide
Slide in all directions
Won't be nothing
Nothing you can measure anymore

There'll be the breaking of the ancient
Western code
Your private life will suddenly explode
There'll be phantoms
There'll be fires on the road
And the white man dancing
You'll see a woman
Hanging upside down
Her features covered by her fallen gown
And all the lousy little poets
Coming round
Tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson
And the white man dancin'
Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St. Paul
Give me Christ or give me Hiroshima
Destroy another fetus now
We don't like children anyhow
I've seen the future, baby
it is murder
Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
Won't be nothing
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
Has crossed the threshold

Kiehtova ja sielukas❤
We certainly need a tissue now, 17 years later.... don't you think, mr Dave Letterman?
Haha he edited his lyrics for late night. RIP.
I guess we'll have to procure our crack and anal sex elsewhere. Long walk to the Circle K.
The public was not yet prepared by the memes like "stick it to her pooper"
❤️❤️❤️
One of the angriest songs he wrote..
Just like CBS to require him to change "anal sex" to "careless sex". I'd like to have been there when they went round and round about that. This was a short version of the song.
The television version.
♥
Wow, who's here in the pandemic?
he botched this song a few places.... he screwed the meter of the song and kept hitting off beats but
not consistently.... it sounded sloppy coz of it. I'm a huge fan but this was not a good rendition.
Nope. After.
they didnt let him sing the white man dancing part ):
Привет из России 🎉🎉🎉
Looks like he is gonna laugh throughout this
He's laughing to his bandmates. He is recognizing that he screwed up but they carried on and made it work.
Naturally creepy without the Gothic LOL!
чёрный кур🤔
The Fool and The Prophet
Demons are real
Please stick to your original lyrics. Well, too late now.
How off can you be with those 'funny' comments now?...
"careless sex" huh?
That's censorship
Speed and careless sex instead of crack and anal sex.. what a disapointment 😢
