    My son doesn't get Leonards' music yet, but I will leave this comment for him to find after I'm gone. This song meant so much to me. Hopefully youtube survives. I love you. Keep searching. Carpe diem.

      I hope your son does too, my children tell their friends I tortured them when they were children with playing his music all the time, I play his London concert DVD all the time for my 92 year old friend who I look after, and we love it. There is a crack in everything, that is how the light gets in. - best statement about life ever - Rest in peace Leonard xx

      I believe this refers to Kabballah, where the creation of the universe (and take the rest of this quite symbolically) involved a "vessel" that could not hold the holy Light and fractured, and our job is to find all the pieces. Not in a physical sense of pieces of a ceramic pot, but the parts of the world that reject the divine Light. Unfortunately, people have a vast disagreement of what that Light really is.

    On December 10th, I lost everything I own to a tornado. It was the day before my wedding. I got married in a church without electricity. I started picking up the pieces before leaving for my honeymoon. I just found this song the other day, and have been listening on repeat.
    “The birds they sang
    At the break of day
    Start again, I heard them say
    Don’t dwell on what has passed away
    Or what is yet to be.”
    These lyrics give me a lot of hope right now, and speak so much truth in this uncertain time.

    Leonard's music is superb and this band is surely his best ever. When Leonard assigned Roscoe Beck to assemble this band he told him "I want the best band on the road this year". Many of this band are virtuosos and notable artists in their own right. It's a perfect display of everyone fitting their contribution to create a perfect whole. It's wonderful that the final act of Leonard's life was to create this masterful line up and give us the best ever performances of his songs.

    This video showcases one of the many things I love about Leonard Cohen. I've seen concerts where the singer just quickly runs off the names of the folks in the band. Not Leonard. Look at him when he's introducing the other musicians (like at 6:10 and 6:45): he's not just being polite, he's actually taking a moment to watch them play and really listen to what they're playing. It must have been an incredible honor to perform with him.

    The opening introduction and this song will never fail to bear relevance to the listener ever. There is a foundational truth, a plain yet pure philosophy which Leonard sings with his most human voice for all of us. I do not know what to say, friends - there is so much hatred everywhere and even in me some times and it just makes me cry for I am also filled with an immense amount of love which is equally present outside of me if not more. Love is the only thing that keep us alive and fills us with such a wonderment for life itself. Love on, folks. Write letters to your loved ones, keep them loved, bask in their love, spread your love and fight even the tiniest instance of hatred when you see it. We are all equal for love ties us all. Wherever we come from, wherever we go, we come from love and go towards love. If neglect has ruled our lives and robbed us of love, then do not break into the path of hate for love is waiting just around the corner and only expects you to walk for a minute or so more than what you have crossed.

    This man... This man....I cannot describe.... he made me:
    He is all I ever will be.
    He shaped my opinions on every subject under the sun.
    About everything. Love...money...respect... life.....
    I owe him everything I hold dear to my heart.
    He owns me.
    My wife will never know where I get my values from.
    This man cemented my beliefs & fears....Made me whole.
    Thankyou.
    Leonard Cohen. One of the greatest human beings. Ever.

      Unfortunately there will never be another Leonard Cohen.
      He is part of the time when there was still Hope.
      Now we are heading to total destruction.
      There is no Hope anymore.
      Noe knew why he took only animals on his Arch.
      Maybe the next Humanity will be better. This one calls to vanish.

    Lynn and I were fortunate to see Leonard Cohen perform live 3 times in our lives and each time is embedded indelibly on our memories as if it was only yesterday. I will always remember the energy that he displayed as he rebounded back on the Vancouver stage for a final encore at the age of 75, as if he was only 21. The music and poetry of this man has impacted us more than any other artist. We miss him immeasurably.

    The birds they sang
    At the break of day
    "Start again"
    I seem to hear them say
    Do not dwell on what has passed away
    Or what is yet to be
    Ah, the wars they will be fought again
    The holy dove, she will be caught again
    Bought and sold, and bought again
    The dove is never free
    Ring the bells that still can ring
    Forget your perfect offering
    There is a crack, a crack in everything
    That's how the light gets in
    🎵🎶🎵🎶
    We asked for signs
    The signs were sent
    The birth betrayed
    The marriage spent
    Yeah, and the widowhood
    Of every single government
    Signs for all to see
    I can't run no more
    With that lawless crowd
    While the killers in high places
    Say their prayers out loud
    But they've summoned, they've summoned up
    A thundercloud
    They're going to hear from me
    Ring the bells that still can ring
    Forget your perfect offering
    There is a crack, a crack in everything
    That's how the light gets in
    🎵🎶🎵🎶
    You can add up the parts
    But you won't have the sum
    You can strike up the march
    There is no drum
    Every heart, every heart
    To love will come
    But like a refugee
    Ring the bells that still can ring
    Forget your perfect offering
    There is a crack, a crack in everything
    That's how the light gets in
    Ring the bells that still can ring
    Forget your perfect offering
    There is a crack, a crack in everything
    That's how the light gets in
    That's how the light gets in

    Incredible performance, and even though it was probably more common back in the day, it's touching the way he introduces every performer to the audience so they can be appreciated.
