One of the most beautiful songs ever created from the heart and mind of a human being. Joan of Arc has become a symbol for so much and so many because of the power of her visions, her belief in them, and her willingness to literally walk into fire in the name of truth. She represents to people, in no particular order, religious fanaticism, teenage rebellion, androgyny, feminism, individualism, anti-clericalism, nationalism and no doubt others. This is a great duet with LC singing the part of the fire to Jennifer's Joan. Stunning video images also!!! Merci Beaucoup!!!!
@@ivankomadanvonrakovac8415 Over six hundred years she has indeed represented these various aspects in different times and places. All you have to do is look at her life and see in her character the many things I have listed. You obviously have little knowledge about her life. She was a woman fighting as a soldier with men which was unique. She dressed as a man in order to be one with the troops which made her androgynous. She represented nationalism as a fighter for France. She was a 17 year old, thus teenage rebellion. She stood up against the authority of the Catholic church, anti-clericalism.She represented individualism in that she listened to the calling she felt to leave her family and go and lead the French forces to drive out the English.
100% I agree this beautifully created story of Jeanne D'Ark sung with perfection by my Idol of wordsmithing and his sisters even references the fact she gave birth to a child. Raped by an Aristocratic Scottish Lord or Laird. Was held in captivity for just over a year. Her swollen appetite. Powerful.
I moved to Orleans France in 1963 as a military brat. Our first apartment overlooked the Joan of Arc statue so at the age of 9 I learned about this incredible woman. As I listen to this, I can still see the statue from the balcony. #memories
In my opinion Leonard Cohen was one of the greatest poets of the last century. The production here with Jennifer Warnes' incredible voice is superb and beautiful.
Absolutely. Not all so g lyrics are poetry, but Cohen was poetry set to music. He just reaches in and puts his hand on your heart. And Jennifer warnes had such a beautiful voice. She’s totally underrated
I absolutely agree. This is the first time I've heard this song as a duet and it's wonderful. Who else but a poet could write the story of Joan Of Arc as a love story between a woman and fire?
I think Cohen was so special, so extraordinary, so talented at probing into universal truths/emotions that whether he is the greatest or second or third or whatever is immaterial. I think he was in a category of his own, and I've never been as inspired by a songwriter/poet. On a truly petty note, and with no disrespect to Mr. Zimmerman, if prizes and awards were TRULY meaningful, it was Cohen who deserved a Nobel prize.
Is it just me, but it somehow seems like Jennifer is channeling Joan of Arc across the centuries. This version sends chills down my spine, decade after decade.
And so it was, after years and thousands of hours on the telephone, him pretending to be someone he was not and that the conversation was for me, me pretending that that was all true, and after a year of barely speaking, he calls and tells me that when he hears the song Kentucky Rain that he always thinks of me, and I tell him that when I think of him, I hear this song. I am sure that he believed that the male and female voices were the personification of ourselves, but I knew otherwise, I was always the fire ... and he was always the wood.
Ze geeft me moed en kracht om strijdbaar te zijn in deze tijd van leugens. Cohen en Warnes vertolken haar verhaal wonderlijk in woord en muziek! There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in!🙏❤️
who else but Leonard Cohen could take the story of a women being burned at the stake and turn it into the ultimate love story. this is beauty, sheer beauty and food for the soul. thank you Leonard and continue your work on the other side.
She and Joe Cocker sung Buffy St Marie`s `Love Lift Us Up Where We Belong``to a Grammy for them and an Oscar for Buffy. She also performed `The Time of My Life with Bill Medley which also won an Oscar. If you like this song buy her album of Leonard Cohen`s songs Famous Blue Raincoat.
@@RasMajnouni yes, she was much more mainstream than Cohen and may have helped to bring some songs if not albums of his mainstream. But i fear that she will go down in music history as "Jenny sings Lenny" - her association with Cohen.

couldnt stop playing this over and over.. . Coen was a master of transporting us to different places and feelings with few words.Jennifer , you helped him make this possible. No one could have done better. No one. Amazing voice.
Half Pissed. Covid is out there somewhere. Sitting on a balcony somewhere warm, can smell barbecue and totally immersed in the song. Jennifer Warnes voice is so perfect loving my life.
This amazing song is the essence of beauty. The voices of Leonard and Jennifer are amazing. The melody and lyrics are awesome. Leonard could have deserved to be a literature Nobel prize winner. Jennifer just sings like an angel.
RIP Leonard Cohen. Jennifer Warnes is one of the few interpreters of Cohen who gets it right. LC was one of the best-- a great poet and consummate musician. We will miss him.
Schitterend liefdeslied, een hommage aan een moedige vrouw tegen wil en dank. Dit is Leonard Cohen op z'n best, maar door de prachtige stem van Jennifer Warnes krijgt dit lied een extra melancholische lading. De beelden die onder de muziek zijn gelegd, zijn prachtig. Het totaal maakt je nederig.
Nobody can say this song does not touch them played this to my daughter when she was 4 she still loves it her and I sing our hearts out too it love it xx
I have been listening to Leonard's songs since the 60's and I love them all but this song is the only one, that when I play it, does something to me that makes me hit replay over and over and over again... My guess is that I am not the only person this happens to.
I have the calling...once a week, i am obsessed with hearing this song after a long worked week. Such a meaningful song. Gives me strength to go on in life. Jennifer is great.
I swear to God this song is ingenious. So Beautiful, breathtaking to hear. The music is so powerful. The magnificent Leonard Cohen. The genius of Canadian song.
Ironic that Leonard Cohen drew so heavily on Catholic imagery on so many absolutely stunning songs. Suzanne, of course, and the Song of Bernadette are as wonderful as Joan of Arc. Of course, Jennifer Warnes' superb voice and interpretation raise an already excellent work to another level. Thanks for the reminder of one of the best concerts I ever attended.
This song grabbed me hard & I crie my eyes out it was that good. Jennifer has a beautiful voice & the way they did this is amazing & to me is the best tune Leonard Cohen song ever & words cannot describe the emotional feelings it gives me but it touched my soul deeply. A lot of good people died at the stake & the ones who did this evil to them to me are the ones who needed to go to the stake! History has it's twist & changes that we not know of but some of us seem to know a lot about it. 1400s-1600s has a lot of deception & betrayals that many were robbed of their lands & their True titles & royaly was stolen & not the kind today with the behaviors seen but a different kind of Royalty with Loyality & Trust,. A real king lived among his people & not in high palaces looking out seeing his people starving with hopeless eyes staring back. Today it is very clearly to see the ones who back then progressed to now & are visible of who they are & with all this threat of war, soariing foor & fuel prices gives you the impression that there is more to it? Yes there is & is that they are all known, exposed & threatend by those who found them out & they cannot escape us as we are here to collect their evil souls from the bodies stolen & believe this or don't but you are witnessing their ends & soon enough our new beginnings are in the forecast without them or their way of doing things that you all are so used to having well imagine the wealth they robbed from you & your ancestors of past 10,000 years & you get how much you are worth today like each verified american citizen is worth 1 Million to 11/2 million each to start! Hard to believe I know but also hard for me to explain how that is & how do I know? Trust in the few of us who do know & maybe were just not from this time but are here ffor the moment the moment you need us cause none of you can get this done nor know enough of how to or who to & when to get them all before they get all of you which if you notice is right now! Russia was made to be hated for many years by a evil & their medias, Putin is not a evil murdering dictator but many in this country are just that! Oliver Stone interviewed this Great man several times so go watch that & decide but also to know truth when your caught in a big deathly lie! Please just wake up & do some research & maybe one day & quickly enough join each other as a unified people cause when you do you win & the evils die out fast without anyone to have controlling of so do you now get this by now people??????? Why go at each other when it is not in you to do so but are made so to do it. These are very crafty beings & the history I mentioned says they are & here to do it again. TIME IS NOW AS TIME HAS RAN OUT LONG AGO? YOUR ON BORROWED TIME SO USE IT WISELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LAST TIME/ LAST CHANCE FOR ALL!!!!
I have been listening to this song daily for two weeks now. The older I get, the more potent are the songs, the words of Leonard Cohen. Listening to this, so beautifully sung and illustrated, it feels to me that every human being in her or his own way is Joan of Arc. And every animal, every plant on earth, every particle of existence from the planets down to protons, neutrons and electrons are too. Everything that is individual carries its own kind of cross. I appreciate very much you posting this song.
THAT is 100%. I hadn't read your comment, but knowing Cohen had learned Torah as a young man and we Jewish Chasidim learn Torah all our lives, I saw the exact Torah principals that explain what you said perfectly. My comment is from a few years ago and also I think last month. Was it just an obvious observation to you,or via your past learning in science,or philosophy? {here} Hedgehog's Right of Passage 1 year ago B"H, Certainly on the simple level L.C. tells of Joan's heroism ,but spiritually LC mentions the 4 elements of all G-d's Creations www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/83664/jewish/Heichaltzu-Chapter-VI.htm which are :Fire,Earth,Air and Water each element returns to it's source physically. The Spiritual counterparts are also 4 worlds each in descending order :
@@RasMajnouni Enjoyed your reply. No scientist or philosopher here. Just a lowly retired painter and wallpaper hanger. But L Cohen has been an inspiration since I was a kid. Blessings of peace and joy be with you. charliehopkinspoetry.wordpress.com/
@@charliehopkins4415 B"H, PS: There is a short Chabad Chasidic saying : To be really lowly takes years of self improvement. Most of us are lowly without trying".Do they still have U-Hall trailers in the USA? My Uncle and his Father in South bend India had a U-Haul lot. G-d hooks us (our soul) to a U-Haul trailer Body) and where we go the Uhaul goes too. Sometimes the U-Haul drags us there! In the eyes of G-d we are never lowly. And another poet Paul Simon sang: "I believe we ALL will be recieved in Graceland" Some guys will be so mad to find Jews,Muslims,Christians,Hindus, Bhuddists,Agnostics,Atheists all in Graceland,even their neighbor will be there. And those who will be angry about that will be in Hell while they are in Heaven!
Such a heart breaking song. You can actually feel her pain. Sends shivers up my spine. Amazing rendition. Only Leonard could have done this. She was a very brave person. I doubt if anyone would do what she did today.
Brilliant. Heartbreaking wonderful tribute to Christ's warrior saint. Rest in peace Leonard Cohen. May God bless Joan's soul and bring yours to his heart in Heaven. Amen. ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
Très bel Hommage à Jeanne D'Arc. Elle est certainement la femme la plus audacieuse et courageuse de tous les temps. Le tragique destin d'une bergère royale ! Merci pour pour cet assemblage époustouflant, Adamfulgence ! J'apprécie beaucoup !
Leonard, truly one cannot write such a song without having the very same heart of Jesus Christ. Behold the Man!! Miss you Leonard. Someday may we meet!!
That is the most amazing thing about Leonard Cohen: He can turn the awful historical event of a young woman being burned alive into a Poem, into a legendary tragic love Story.
When Leonard Cohen and Jennifer warnes collaborated on this record it was amazing like magic I was going through intense religous experiences and I was baked so fcked up but hanging onto the Faith that I believed would hold me together a couple of years ago I was singing this at an open Farmers Market and this woman out of the Blue stopped from 2 blocks away and came wandering into the Market cause she knew this song she stayed I was done and told me she knew the song from way back when and it meant so much to her Imagine hearing that song of Leonard Cohen 's from that far away and running n to hear the last part no one wrote like Cohen a true Poet so much travailing and suffering and silent wandering of the mind and heart God Bless him ....R.I.P
God bless whomever created this most stunning, gut-wrenching video. Surely God has *already blessed Jennifer Warnes & Leonard Cohen long ago, for (his writing of & their singing of) this unforgetable, heartbreaking masterpiece.
Neither do I, in fact I listen and watch this video several times a day, and it makes me cry each time too.So beautiful.I love everything Leonard Cohen does, just something mesmerizing about his voice.
This is my all time favorite Leonard Cohen song. Rest in peace sweet gentle soul. Adamfulgence Thank you for the beautiful video. I too interpreted the fire as Jesus.
MY EYES AND EARS CANT BELIEVE WHAT I'M HEARING AND SEEING. LONG, LONG, LONG FAN OF JENNIFER. SHE DESERVES TO BE PAMPERED WITH LEO SONGS. HER MIGHTY VOICE DEMANDS IT
Great song and video and I enjoyed it very much. Thanks to Adamfulgence for putting it on for all to see the genius of Leonard Cohen and Jennifer's beautiful voice full of feeling for this sacred story of faith.
We don't know how God uses others' evil will to do His own will. With the cruel, violent, premature death of Joan, the French soldiers took much more strength having her as martyr and as the highest example of braveness and love for their country. Thanks to this, France got completely free. I remember some words of the scriptures: "...their life appeared a tragedy to us, but now their are counted among the children of God and they are happy forever..."
Take that golden road, Mr. Cohen. Thanks for ups and downs and a smile along the way. And Ms Warnes, thank you for this with Mr. Cohen, from deepest Georgia this dark and smoky night. RIP.
Yes Thank you Ms Warnes and thank you for this, greece from deepest Niedersachsen in heart american. In Georgia live family on me. since 1765. Jennifer Warnes, Joan of Arc Live in Belgium 1992 ruclips.net/video/APi_Q3GoP-E/видео.html
This song is my enigma. It haunts me every time i hear it. I love it so much. Leonard,, you were a real artist with exquisite talent. We will miss you so much. No one can compare to you. I am proud of you being Canadian and understanding REAL music. What a song! So beautiful.
This is so sad that I cry. It's so beautifully written & sung by the 2 most beautiful voices, just as with Jackson Brown n Golden Slumbers. Deep meaning, such a sad story of her life. She was truly God's prophet. Men just never understood what was 2 come. I can't wait 2 meet her when we all come 2gether. RIP Joan. Luv u girl! 02-09-`7 Eugene, Oregon USA
You know when one is first acquainted with something one loves one forms an opinion...but when you savor it for a long time that feeling broadens and becomes more personal...and that is what real art does...you have given me, like a muse another vision mised with my own personal history..and that is how art endures and inspires..for with each listening and with each new generation the meaning is recreated and given the breath of life! thank you
Extraordinary clip, moving and fascinating. A real work of artist. Through the artists who carried this big role. You pay tribute in the history of France. I did not know this duet, I like very much the song.
No, Leonard after a while, decided to have a woman singer for Jeanna and there where two but the version with Jennifer Warnes is really the mos beautiful one@@moondancer9066
What a great performance by Jennifer Warnes, who makes this and other Leonard Cohen songs reach their full potential in such beautiful and powerful fashion. Jennifer Warnes brought a contribution and quality to the songs on her "Famous Blue Raincoat" album of Cohen songs that allowed me to appreciate the potential in several of his songs. She absolutely brought these songs to life for me. (I suppose you could also say she made them more palatable or commercial in the process.) And, in some ways, it may be the highlight of her career when she chose to interpret these songs, making them her own. That is, her voice and her heart seem so perfect for the songs. The result is very deep, heartbreaking, melancholy, and emotionally rich the way she sings these songs. So this is a pairing made in heaven.
Could have read my mind... Exactly my intro and sense of perfection on both writer and singer... Could not sound this heavenly otherwise. Intonations. Perfection. 💯💥
Bien sûr, en tant que Français, cette chanson résonne particulièrement car l'histoire de Jeanne d'Arc a baigné mon enfance. Mais Jeanne est devenue un archétype, universel donc, un symbole de courage, de détermination et de don de soi. Celui qui a peur de mourir a peur de vivre. Poésie inspirée, la voix de Jennifer est éclatante, celle de Léonard envoûtante. Bravo pour le montage vidéo et merci d'avoir honoré les mémoires, de Carl Dreyer et de Renée Falconetti
jennifer and leonard thankyou sooooo much for this, i cant help crying every time i hear it,,,, but what are songs without emotion. Joan was a little girl who fought for what she believed in. We must never forget her
Jennifer Warnes' voice was the perfect counterpoint to Leonard Cohen's.
Such a beautiful rendition of astonishing poetry.
Cohen’s songs aren’t just songs. They feed our souls.
Grand Merci Leonard. You were one of a kind.
What gifts you gave us🙏
42 years old, just found Jennifer Warnes and she takes my breath away. Hands down she is stunning.
Drugs for my ears.
BRILLIANT, FANTASTIC, 🎉AMAZING 👏 RAY TWELVE STRINGS U.K 🎶
One of the most beautiful songs ever created from the heart and mind of a human being. Joan of Arc has become a symbol for so much and so many because of the power of her visions, her belief in them, and her willingness to literally walk into fire in the name of truth. She represents to people, in no particular order, religious fanaticism, teenage rebellion, androgyny, feminism, individualism, anti-clericalism, nationalism and no doubt others. This is a great duet with LC singing the part of the fire to Jennifer's Joan. Stunning video images also!!! Merci Beaucoup!!!!
She doesn't represent half of these nonsenses
@@ivankomadanvonrakovac8415 Over six hundred years she has indeed represented these various aspects in different times and places. All you have to do is look at her life and see in her character the many things I have listed. You obviously have little knowledge about her life. She was a woman fighting as a soldier with men which was unique. She dressed as a man in order to be one with the troops which made her androgynous. She represented nationalism as a fighter for France. She was a 17 year old, thus teenage rebellion. She stood up against the authority of the Catholic church, anti-clericalism.She represented individualism in that she listened to the calling she felt to leave her family and go and lead the French forces to drive out the English.
Couldn't agree more.
100% I agree this beautifully created story of Jeanne D'Ark sung with perfection by my Idol of wordsmithing and his sisters even references the fact she gave birth to a child. Raped by an Aristocratic Scottish Lord or Laird. Was held in captivity for just over a year. Her swollen appetite. Powerful.
Saint Joan of Arc. Believed in the power of God and she died because of her faith. I wish I had a tenth of St Joan of Arc's faith.
I moved to Orleans France in 1963 as a military brat. Our first apartment overlooked the Joan of Arc statue so at the age of 9 I learned about this incredible woman. As I listen to this, I can still see the statue from the balcony. #memories

I always considered him a god until I heard the song he wrote about Janis Joplin right after she died. Everything changed after I heard that song.
@@rgg2727 agree
I miss Jennifer’s pure voice, she put her soul, life, and heart into every song but exceptionally in this lovely gem.
Yes this version is exceptionnal; it is true!
She is still a active musician ;)
I love the way Jennifer Warnes brings new life into this beautiful song. She did the best version.
Indeed she did.

The heartrending story of Jean d'Arcs tragic life so beautifully captured in this unique song!🙏🌈🙏
Yes, it's extraordinary that an Israelite should have understood so well the meaning and mysticism of Joan of Arc's life.
couldnt stop playing this over and over.. . Coen was a master of transporting us to different places and feelings with few words.Jennifer , you helped him make this possible. No one could have done better. No one. Amazing voice.

I should add thanks for your sublime selection of pictures
This is without a doubt, a very beautiful and powerful song. Jennifer Warnes & Leonard Cohen have turned this song into a Memorial to Joan of Arc.

The song and the performance are magnificent and speak for themselves but whoever put the images together did a fantastic job. Kudos to you.

I hadn't read your comment, but knowing Cohen had learned Torah as a young man and we Jewish Chasidim learn Torah all our lives, I saw the exact Torah principals that explain what you said perfectly. My comment is from a few years ago and also I think last month. Was it just an obvious observation to you,or via your past learning in science,or philosophy?

B"H, Certainly on the simple level L.C. tells of Joan's heroism ,but spiritually LC mentions the 4 elements of all G-d's Creations www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/83664/jewish/Heichaltzu-Chapter-VI.htm which are :Fire,Earth,Air and Water each element returns to it's source physically. The Spiritual counterparts are also 4 worlds each in descending order :
@@RasMajnouni Enjoyed your reply. No scientist or philosopher here. Just a lowly retired painter and wallpaper hanger. But L Cohen has been an inspiration since I was a kid. Blessings of peace and joy be with you. charliehopkinspoetry.wordpress.com/
@@charliehopkins4415 Thank YOU Charlie (from here in Efrat vilage,Israel bordering on Bethlehem)
@@charliehopkins4415 B"H, PS: There is a short Chabad Chasidic saying : To be really lowly takes years of self improvement. Most of us are lowly without trying".Do they still have U-Hall trailers in the USA? My Uncle and his Father in South bend India had a U-Haul lot. G-d hooks us (our soul) to a U-Haul trailer Body) and where we go the Uhaul goes too. Sometimes the U-Haul drags us there! In the eyes of G-d we are never lowly. And another poet Paul Simon sang: "I believe we ALL will be recieved in Graceland" Some guys will be so mad to find Jews,Muslims,Christians,Hindus, Bhuddists,Agnostics,Atheists all in Graceland,even their neighbor will be there. And those who will be angry about that will be in Hell while they are in Heaven!
@@RasMajnouni Yea, with all our other troubles and despair, at least we still have UHaul trailers. So all is not lost. :) God bless you.
In my opinion, this is the most sensual, sexy love song ever written.
Such a heart breaking song. You can actually feel her pain. Sends shivers up my spine. Amazing rendition. Only Leonard could have done this. She was a very brave person. I doubt if anyone would do what she did today.
Noble words!
@@topandeneil Thanks for your reply. Not often that anyone replies. All the best to you. Leonard is still the best!! Peter
@@peterwintermeyer8578 Agreed!
Tibetan monks have burned themselves to death to protest the Chinese takeover of their holy places, of Tibet.
Peter Wintermeyer Yes. They would.
MERCI !❤
This is by far the best version of this song ANYWHERE.
It's a wonderful interpretation but I think I prefer Cohen's version.
Happy Bastille Day 2024! The 1928 Joan of Arc film images of Renee Maria Falconetti are both haunting and spellbinding!
the greatest poet and song writer of our times R.I.P Leonard Cohen
agree.
I love him...
Me too, Marika...thank God we can still listen to him..
John Poet is the second greatest
Ellen McCullough ?
She was only a teenager. Seventeen and she lead armies. What a role model she was.
19
@@antoinemozart243 she was 17 when she went to the war, died at 19.
Brilliant. Heartbreaking wonderful tribute to Christ's warrior saint. Rest in peace Leonard Cohen. May God bless Joan's soul and bring yours to his heart in Heaven. Amen. ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
Très bel Hommage à Jeanne D'Arc. Elle est certainement la femme la plus audacieuse et courageuse de tous les temps.
Le tragique destin d'une bergère royale !
Merci pour pour cet assemblage époustouflant, Adamfulgence !
J'apprécie beaucoup !
Leonard, truly one cannot write such a song without having the very same heart of Jesus Christ. Behold the Man!! Miss you Leonard. Someday may we meet!!
That is the most amazing thing about Leonard Cohen: He can turn the awful historical event of a young woman being burned alive into a Poem, into a legendary tragic love Story.
YES HE CAN BUT IN THIS CASE IT WAS JENNIFER!
@@marjannesutlcollins2318 Jennifer's brilliant, but Leonard wrote Joan of Arc.
@@solsa1 And sang it.. Songs of Love and Hate 1971 ♥️🎶🎶🦋🌞🧚♀️💕
@@marjannesutlcollins2318 he wrote the song..
There is much more in the verses than the historical fact turned into a moving poem ... it is the mystical side.
When Leonard Cohen and Jennifer warnes collaborated on this record it was amazing like magic I was going through intense religous experiences and I was baked so fcked up but hanging onto the Faith that I believed would hold me together
a couple of years ago I was singing this at an open Farmers Market
and this woman out of the Blue stopped from 2 blocks away and came wandering into the Market cause she knew this song
she stayed I was done and told me she knew the song from way back when and it meant so much to her
Imagine hearing that song of Leonard Cohen 's from that far away and running n to hear the last part
no one wrote like Cohen a true Poet so much travailing and suffering and silent wandering of the mind and heart God Bless him ....R.I.P
What can you say about this....pure perfectiom.....emotional dynamite......tears in the wind....
Personally I think it's crap terrible songwriting lalalalalalalala such talent
One of the best songs ever written and sung by the best ever.
Is it just me, or does Leonard Cohen sound a lot like Cat Stevens?
@@greypilgrim2028 Cat Stevens sounds like Leonard Cohen!
I listen to song a couple times a day, I love Jennifer's voice, it's heavenly. Leonard joining in just tops it off. This song haunts me☮️
JustMe WingAnAPrayer for me to. I love it so mutch.

Haunts me too
The heatfelt power of the lyrics and interpretation are non pareil. Of course. Whoever created and edited the visual accompaniment...Thank you!!
God bless whomever created this most stunning, gut-wrenching video.
Surely God has *already blessed Jennifer Warnes & Leonard Cohen long ago, for (his writing of & their singing of) this unforgetable, heartbreaking masterpiece.
I don't think I ever really appreciated this until I heard this version
Just loved listening to this today, on Leonard Cohen’s Birthday, an awesome duo singing an incredibly powerful song.
Never tired of this song
Neither do I, in fact I listen and watch this video several times a day, and it makes me cry each time too.So beautiful.I love everything Leonard Cohen does, just something mesmerizing about his voice.
This is my all time favorite Leonard Cohen song. Rest in peace sweet gentle soul.
Adamfulgence Thank you for the beautiful video. I too interpreted the fire as Jesus.
RIP you great poet and singer. Thank you for fifty years of beautiful music.
MY EYES AND EARS CANT BELIEVE WHAT I'M HEARING AND SEEING.
LONG, LONG, LONG FAN OF JENNIFER. SHE DESERVES TO BE PAMPERED WITH LEO SONGS. HER MIGHTY VOICE DEMANDS IT
Simply, one of the greatest poems (and songs) of the 20th century.

...❤️... My favorite female and my favorite male ... Voices ... And in this they joined - what an honor together ...
Cohen is unique, i have been listening to thias song over 40 years.
NICOPSICO same as that...
You dont look forty
Great song and video and I enjoyed it very much. Thanks to Adamfulgence for putting it on for all to see the genius of Leonard Cohen and Jennifer's beautiful voice full of feeling for this sacred story of faith.
Rest now, Sir Leonard Cohen, such vulnerable, beautiful and gentle soul.Thank you for all your work and music!
We do need to remember the history behind this beautiful song...she loved so much she died for it, willingly...
Die heilige Johanna so treffend oh Leonard cohen
Incredible expression of the anguish and transcendence of mortality. Genius. So much a message for today.
Best comment ever -- wish I'd written it. :-)
White Tigress doubt you could spell the big words,or know their meaning, stick with what you know
@@mariankeogh241 What a catty comment!
There is a whole album of Jennifer singing Leonard Cohens songs.its called Famous Blue Raincoat. It's amazing!
a complete masterpiece. no one can compare.
Love this song and version with Jennifer Warnes....will miss LC..RIP
Jennifer Warnes' voice reaches new heights when she sings the songs of Leonard Cohen. Love this beautiful song.
Brave woman another story sung by the great Leonard Cohen RIP
We don't know how God uses others' evil will to do His own will. With the cruel, violent, premature death of Joan, the French soldiers took much more strength having her as martyr and as the highest example of braveness and love for their country. Thanks to this, France got completely free.
I remember some words of the scriptures: "...their life appeared a tragedy to us, but now their are counted among the children of God and they are happy forever..."
Jennifer's voice makes it so Beautiful., and Haunting. Very penetrating for the soul. Without Jennifer, it would not be the same.
Farewell and thank you for all the poetry
Leonard Cohen at his best, poet songwriter musician .
Take that golden road, Mr. Cohen. Thanks for ups and downs and a smile along the way. And Ms Warnes, thank you for this with Mr. Cohen, from deepest Georgia this dark and smoky night. RIP.

This song is my enigma. It haunts me every time i hear it. I love it so much. Leonard,, you were a real artist with exquisite talent. We will miss you so much. No one can compare to you. I am proud of you being Canadian and understanding REAL music. What a song! So beautiful.
This is so sad that I cry. It's so beautifully written & sung by the 2 most beautiful voices, just as with Jackson Brown n Golden Slumbers. Deep meaning, such a sad story of her life. She was truly God's prophet. Men just never understood what was 2 come. I can't wait 2 meet her when we all come 2gether. RIP Joan. Luv u girl! 02-09-`7 Eugene, Oregon USA
So beautiful.. praise Jesus!
You know when one is first acquainted with something one loves one forms an opinion...but when you savor it for a long time that feeling broadens and becomes more personal...and that is what real art does...you have given me, like a muse another vision mised with my own personal history..and that is how art endures and inspires..for with each listening and with each new generation the meaning is recreated and given the breath of life! thank you
Extraordinary clip, moving and fascinating. A real work of artist. Through the artists who carried this big role. You pay tribute in the history of France. I did not know this duet, I like very much the song.
Ja, danke, das ist so bewegend, danke Jennifer, danke Leonard, danke Adamfulgence !
Schorsch Schorsch Stimmt.
Vielen dank fur alles
May be the most beautiful version of this marvellous song
Totalmente de acuerdo. The best, incredible. Imposible mayor belleza. Letra, música y voz.
I think the original, on SONGS OF LOVE AND HATE 1971 is the best!
Nah, songs of love and hate
No, Leonard after a while, decided to have a woman singer for Jeanna and there where two but the version with Jennifer Warnes is really the mos beautiful one@@moondancer9066
Good bye, Leonard, and thank you so very much.
RIP
Spiritually and artistically beautiful video tribute to this beautiful song by Cohen, and, performance by Cohen and Warnes.
Thanks! Appreciate your comment...
I forgot about this song that I loved when I was young. Shame on me.
Wunderschön ......Dankeschön
Oh my God I love Leonard Cohen.
What a great performance by Jennifer Warnes, who makes this and other Leonard Cohen songs reach their full potential in such beautiful and powerful fashion. Jennifer Warnes brought a contribution and quality to the songs on her "Famous Blue Raincoat" album of Cohen songs that allowed me to appreciate the potential in several of his songs. She absolutely brought these songs to life for me. (I suppose you could also say she made them more palatable or commercial in the process.) And, in some ways, it may be the highlight of her career when she chose to interpret these songs, making them her own. That is, her voice and her heart seem so perfect for the songs. The result is very deep, heartbreaking, melancholy, and emotionally rich the way she sings these songs. So this is a pairing made in heaven.
Could not have said it any better !
Could have read my mind... Exactly my intro and sense of perfection on both writer and singer... Could not sound this heavenly otherwise.
Intonations. Perfection. 💯💥
Bien sûr, en tant que Français, cette chanson résonne particulièrement car l'histoire de Jeanne d'Arc a baigné mon enfance. Mais Jeanne est devenue un archétype, universel donc, un symbole de courage, de détermination et de don de soi. Celui qui a peur de mourir a peur de vivre. Poésie inspirée, la voix de Jennifer est éclatante, celle de Léonard envoûtante. Bravo pour le montage vidéo et merci d'avoir honoré les mémoires, de Carl Dreyer et de Renée Falconetti
Tres bien dit!
jennifer and leonard thankyou sooooo much for this, i cant help crying every time i hear it,,,, but what are songs without emotion. Joan was a little girl who fought for what she believed in. We must never forget her
jennifer and Leonard sing this beautifully lyrics and story superb.just love it never get sick of hearing it.mervyn Jenkins Cyprus.
