The sublime Webb Sisters. You'll want to hear a totaly different but equally wonderful version of this by Anhony.
Agree!
From Cohen's song, Anthem - "There is a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in"
Beautiful line.
Thank you. This is the first time that I requested this song. It might not drive thousands of people to your channel, yet, but I am sure a lot of people who are enjoying the music you react to will appreciate your thoughts on this. Thank you for listening to this with us. It made me really listen again as well. The prayer, here to Jehova, though Cohen wasn't practicing, I believe, is also a surrender to acceptance, linked with a promise to commit either way. Anthem in London has the last moment of that standing ovation on it. Beautiful. I am glad that you liked my question, and I enjoyed sharing something that fulfilled that brief for me. I will do that again, then, when it is my time again. Only Pete can permanently request! Cause that is Ren! You have a lot to give here, Saeed.
Thank you for requesting it and i loved the back and forward to get to this. I would have never discovered this on my own. I love discovering new music and learning in the proces. Gaining new insights and perspectives on life. Beautiful. Thank you!
We played this version at my mum's funeral. It's hauntingly beautiful.
❤️❤️❤️🫂🫂🫂
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.
From Anthem, Leonard Cohen.
Another great artist of a similar kind is Nick Cave, if you wanna check it out. The song Bright Horses is similar to this (bare in mind, if you listen to it, that before that album he lost a 15 year old son - the song is not about that but that definetly had an influence on him)
Thank you for letting me know! That was the line. Definitely want to explore more.
Hey Saeed. I share your resonating with this song, I am coming up on forty years of sobriety. While this version is sublime, I have to say Leonard’s original is deeper, in two senses of the word: his voice in old age is a deep baritone, and one can hear the lived pain, renunciation and acceptance in his voice. Another masterpiece from the Master!
Wow forty years. Thats amazing. Congratulations!
I definitely must check out the original at some point.
Thanks for watching and sharing!
This is the first time ever I comment on RUclips, but I simply had to say thank you for this reaction! I found your channel because of your Nightwish reactions and was immensely delighted to see this video! Thank you. I saw this same performance live in Helsinki in 2010, and it was oh, so powerful in its fragile simplicity. The whole concert was a miracle of its own, and one of the highlights was the song you were referring to: Anthem. “There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.” And even though I love Nightwish (so much so, that I have surprised everyone, including myself, by making my own NW reactions - because a theologian combining silk, lace and Nightwish simply isn’t… done), Leonard Cohen is The One for me, and it’d be absolutely wonderful to see your reaction to Anthem, live in London!
I don't add a link to the song, because YT often seems to block a comment if there's a link (at least on my own channel), but you'll find the song easily; it's official live video.
Wow, thank you for taking the time to comment. Truly appreciate it. That was the line! Definitely want to check out that song.
@@SaeedReacts. Oh! I forgot! You have said you love fantasy, so of course you know Tuomas Holopainen has written a song inspired by Rothfuss & Name of the Wind? Edema Ruh is one of my absolute favourite Nightwish songs, and I can listen to it for hours, when writing my own world into living. I think you might enjoy it, too, the lyrics are immensely beautiful. And to have a song called Edema Ruh... It makes me smile every time. Also, 7 Days to the Wolves (Wembley live) is another Nightwish song that might not be at the top of The List, but for a soul loving lyrics and stories, that song is priceless - and well worth skipping a few Wacken songs. (And thank you for your reply. That was so kind of you.)
You should listen to "Come Healing" if you liked this one.
I've been a life long Cohen fan. He took me through some tough times. Another artist who I rate highly is Tom Mcrae. A&B song is a personal favourite but he's a much overlooked artist.
Please listen to antony with this song! Best ever.
It's more Leonard Cohen feat. the Webb sisters.
