The unforgettable voice of Leonard Cohen & S.Robinson, it's heavenly. Your always be in the heart Leonard Cohen.

The best song I ever heard ❤️❤️💪🏼💪🏼

Ok, ok, we could never ever dare to make a "best Leonard Cohen songs" list which would be fair, because the truth is, this man never ever recorded a bad song in his life, even his weakest moments- so to speak- would make 99,9% of the artists out there be ashamed and humbly retire- that is, a "best of" collection had to virtually include ALL HIS SONGS (ok, I'd skip "No Diamonds in the Mine", and maybe "Don't Go Home with a Hard On" but only these two), but even though we're dealing here with a truly unique musical genius, yet there are CERTAIN SONGS which- how can I put it- touch us deeper, penetrate in a deeper part of our souls, some pieces he seemed to have carefully written so that we could listen to his words and feel the fascinating helplessness of our human condition. Songs like "A Thousand Kisses Deep", "Waiting for the Miracle", "The Stranger Song", "There for You", "Famous Blue Raincoat", "The Partisan"- and this one. This song is so painful and poignant to listen to I immediately become sad when I listen to it. His clearly spoken words "hit home" in a way I'm too embarassed to say, and I can't help picturing myself in the same situation described in the lyrics- those excruciating, suffocating times when you try to express something knowing that words don't matter, words don't change a thing- those times you'd like to write someone a "page of concern" about your long story, with its intense plot and your unlimited self-defense resources- only to see your words going to waste, and you ending down there, proud of your solitude, proud of your strenght, but begging for comprehension, begging for letting go, begging for the acceptance of someone spiritually similar to you. That depresing sensation- why do we still insist in using words if they can never truly express our inner thoughts and feelings? So that we can show someone, somehow, how pathetically fragile we are? When will this cycle end? What will be the final letter, the one someone will not dare to burn? Aside from "The Miracle", these are Cohen's lyrics which I feel most intimately, like he could have written this song especially for me- needless to say, I feel embarassed, honored and depressed at the same time.

fantastic song for ever

My life is this song

It's about everyone's life... Unfortunatelly...

awesome!

Odszedl Wielki Artysta ale zostaja z nami jego piosenki Spoczywaj w Spokoju!!!!1

a legend just passed right in front of eyes .... let's just pause for a minute before we go and wash our cars.
so sad to see you go and such an honor to have lived at the same time that you lived on earth.

YESSS. Wonderful

Really beautiful words Jon x

there will never be another Leonard Cohen!!

Thanks Carol for you reply

The great and wonderful bard, Leonard Cohen, his time on this earth has expired,...and we are left regretting it alwasys!

You were my MAN

... in peace .

Paix après les tourments. L.C. pour toujours en nos coeurs

покойся с миром . ז"ל

Tes chansons m'ont fait du bien . . .

ZOSTANIE W PAMIECI I JEGO PIOSENKI ...

I'm a big Cohen fan but must admit to never having gotten to know the Dear Heather album. This beautiful song has convinced me to change that.

Dear Heather is probably the One, unrightfully neglected LC album....
it's bare and simple in a way, but also strikingly painful and beautiful :))

We will never forget you. Peace to your soul.

Rest in peace dear Mr. Cohen!

his voice is unforgetable...

The most unique songwriter of ALL-TIME

"The Letters"

You never liked to get
The letters that I sent.
But now you've got the gist
Of what my letters meant.
You're reading them again,
The ones you didn't burn.
You press them to your lips,
My pages of concern.
I said there'd been a flood.
I said there's nothing left.
I hoped that you would come.
I gave you my address.
Your story was so long,
The plot was so intense,
It took you years to cross
The lines of self-defense.
The wounded forms appear:
The loss, the full extent;
And simple kindness here,
The solitude of strength.
You walk into my room.
You stand there at my desk,
Begin your letter to
The one who's coming next.

Thanks for the lyrics I know them by heart

Argi Skelton thanks bro

R.I.P. Leonard
Che fantastica voce
Che fantastica persona
Che fantastico artista
Che fantastico poeta
Che straordinario artista.
Irripetibile

@Kona Alan yes.

love y men!

RIP, Master. My heart is broken.

mine too. I am so greatful for the wonderful poetry he left us. Thank you Mister Cohen

I can't stop listening to him, sometimes with a smile, sometimes with a tear

Kitty West  -how are you holding out, Kitty? Seems it never gets easier.

Uno de los más grandes y se acaba de ir... tal vez con su Marianne...

A great soul have left the world.....

Que tristeza su partida, un hombre genial.

Wish he got the Noble Prize in his life time ...a life time spent by a great artist in creativity .

he is more than politics noble

I felt he deserved it more than Bob Dylan..

R.I.P. You are the best forever.

and I would add : we still do not fully understand how deep are his words.

Царствие небесное тебе.....Эх.....

r rest in peace

what a great artist and poet. he deserved a Nobel prize too

He was the Prize that we were awarded.

he is more than noble but politic

More than Bob Dylan..

Hastayım

Such deep and poetic words The solitude of strength wonderful

Dio che brividi questo pezzo.... che meraviglia..... immenso Leonard , che tu possa vivere X sempre .....

Sua história foi tão longa. O enredo dela, tão intenso. Demorou anos para que você conseguisse cruzar a linha da auto-defesa. Letra linda e brilhant, típica de Cohen.

Ты читал предыдущее изменение?

Благодарю. Как прекрасно поет Леонард,, Какая прекрасная песня

ამ სიმღერის ფონზე უნდა რაჟდენს თავის ჩამოხრჩობა.

Precies.

Such a great great song.

"Ты никогда не любила получать
Письма, что я отправлял,
Но теперь ты постигла суть
Моих писем.
Ты перечитываешь их вновь,
Те, что ты не сожгла,
Ты прижимаешь их к своим губам,
Страницы моей заботы"
Писем не было. Заботы? Когда-то..де Борн
обрадовался,что моя болезнь всего лишь-
нервная и порекомендовал:
/ты просто страйся не нервничать.
Во-первых тебе нельзя кофе и чай.
Пить можно только настой ромашки.
Ну и всякие успокоительные препараты.
Плюс всегда слушай хорошую жизнерадостную музыку.
Я бы посоветовал ещё и подпевать,
когда одна в доме и никто не помешает.
А кроме того, надо гулять в парках.
Лучше всего по утрам."
Я не знаю,кто это заботился обо мне
И этот вопрос меня мучает годы
я не сожгла ни строчки
Я с тех пор люблю его и
всё снова и снова перечитываю его письма,
не прекащая его поиски

Beauty in song, x

He is real fantastic for ever in my heart the music,

The Letters"

Je vous en prie

Soulful and mesmerizing at the same time

lovely kirsty grtzz m.

Not the best known but my favourite of Cohen's songs, and I love all of them :)

here lives the SOUL .

Sharon Robinson. A long time collaborator. She co-wrote "Everybody Knows."

Great Artist

... your story was so long, the plot was so intense... Thank you for sharing.

Sharon Robinson

Cohen will be missed when he is gone. He will not be forgotton like many are.
Lets hope he makes it to 100!

Imagine the emptiness when he is no longer with us!!!!!!

Who is the second voice?

He's never sentimental. He's way too deep to be sappy. It's not emotion-it's thought.
Plus he's really sexy.

amazing

Thank you so much for posting! :)

hmm, tears from my eyes..

....I don´t mind to sink with tea....if it nessesary for read you..
