[col1034]

A most prophetic song.

[lflarry1]

[oscarsteeven]

3:02 lex luthor ?

[Nefesz1]

I'm the little Jew who wrote the Bible I've seen the nations rise and fall

I've heard their stories ...

L'Shalom

[infamystar]

simply amazing... 

[wizzvampire23]

qualcuno mi traduce quello che dice dopo la fine della canzone? grz

[michel2jean1]

This man is my inspiration and "go to" when I need my spirits uplifted, thank you Leonard!

[Elfaih]

sa voix, son style, le sentiment, la qualité, tout y est,

il vivra toujours, il est éternel, merci à Léonard Cohen de ce bonheur

[Elfaih]

toujours magnifique, j'aime Léonard Cohen, merci pour tous ces partages,

il a un timbre de voix qui vient du coeur,

Elfaih ♥

[audiomez]

Got a sense that this artist could have been the victim of well placed prophetical channelings from THE "Presidential Whisperer"?

Things HAVE slid in all directions havn't they?

[5trik9]

Give me Stalin? I've seen the PAST, brother, it is genocide! Prophesies aren't inadvertent. when they're self fulfilling.

[pacatrue]

The singer in the hat is very attractive. I was going to apologize for noticing that fact while this great music played, but I suspect Mr. Cohen would notice a beautiful woman as well.

[photon72]

Prophetic lyrics.

[Kwikshots1]

The man is a god!

[darky926]

The true defination of class

[eastfloyd]

Matchless!

[SHErocks1929]

Really prophetic!

[meetteem]

this is great. there a beatiful Italian cover, translated by Mimmo Locasciulli and performed by Francesco De Gregori

[heliouse]

amazing sound wow

[GeorgieWise]

Thirty five years ago I thought he was pretentious and boring because I was too. Much has changed over the years. I'm still pretentious and boring but he's not.

[MrManielx2]

In this song he is prophetic, too.

[Narasaa]

I can't imagine that there is someone may not like this very talented artist. He is the one!

[BruceBloodSister1]

Amazing is an understatement



[tsmcghie]

out of curiosity i wonder how many people here respect Tom Waits and Joan Armatrading?also.

[Ozzathawildy]

@tsmcghie Well, I do.

[HABILUSJIM]

@tsmcghie to be fair dk who Armatrading is....but researching thanks for insight.... Waits is a beast

[DG61343]

fantastic

[jezitjoll]

hats off to lenny cohen!

[schlesmail]

This made my day!  Thanx so much for posting.

[joe8053]

Fantastic song. Fantastic performance!

[joe8053]

Fantastic song. Fantastic performance!

[drsick2727]

Had to buy the DVD now, love him!

[GiuseppeCunha]

Conservative hymn in the good old burkean fashion! It's so impressive that it seems to please even the most liberal mind.

[beanfromvenus]

The coolest old man in town

[irena957]

Super muzyka mozna sie zrelaksowac .Dziękuje i pozdrawiam

[MadsAndersen1]

Maybe he switched to careless sex, instead of anal, because of the lyric "things are gonna slide, slide in all directions, won't be nothing you can measure anymore". Alright, I'm being stupid now. Great song.

[blomlie]

I love this guy's attitude! :D

[levellifemars]

god in the flesh

[tolenaars53]

On his rest day god took a decision !

He created CHOHEN

[Marioelabuelillo]

Le pasa como al vino cuanto más viejo sabe mucho mejor.es un regalo para todos aquellos que buscan algo mas.

[padrekarrasco]

GREAT!!! 

[PEGASG]

SHOWWWWWWWW..

[sickassdrummer1]

Yes the Best



[sickassdrummer1]

Yes the Best

[ignaciomasllorens]

I think this is the most elegant and sophisticated live performance I've ever seen. Fucking masterpiece.

[leanhk]

Careless sex???? WTF?

I want the original "ANAL"~!

[MusicWriter1965]

I've seen the future, brother, it is murder

[Badphish419]

TO HELL WITH CARELESS SEX, I WANT ANAL!!!

[LuizPecanhaPai]

Will the world get even worse after OBL's death? Please, tell me Leonard.

[23kyan3]

Who the hell do not like this masterpiece??

[Sweetforthesoul]

Bill Gates should pay scientists to make this man live forever!

[annongedic]

@Sweetforthesoul  I wish this could happen! Seriously!

[lilsublime]

@Sweetforthesoul vote up 93 times

[bluoad]

@Sweetforthesoul Leonard is doing fine on his own :P

[RIVAFLAM2011]

Best english language master. Ever. Masterpiece!

[lffit]

the older he gets the better he is!

[pyramidrec]

it was "give me crack, and anal sex..."

[Poldru]

@pyramidrec Look at pretty much any of his live performances, he always changes the lyrics. An artist of his magnitude should never have to compromise or accomodate. Shame on you Leonard.

[MusicWriter1965]

@Poldru Oh, go fuck yourself, you mewling, simpering, sniveling little bitch

[gezuz69]

ENORME 

[Issakimani]

Love!!!

[amicaliana]

Grande uomo,great performance.



[wickedpissa25]

I would give my middle nut to have a voice like his.

[BuzzTeddyHead]

@wickedpissa25 No giving your middle nut would take your voice up an octave. What you want is Scotch whiskey and Cigars.

[adrianoaayala]

muito bom,gostaria muito d velo no brasil

[dcconsi]

her name was magrait. her tomb is under the cathederal in dresden. she was 8 years of ageour ladys youngest daughter apart from magdelana

[LuBaldauf]

Top class, Leonard and the band...

[Eevahl]

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 ...

When they said REPENT REPENT

[bigboppa40]

Very cruisey Leonard. Repent means turn around and go the other way, but you know that. Nice to see you singing and in tune too. I'm a 70 year old drummer and just got home from a gig. Blessings, Tony

[edgonzales2323]

I love this song....but when did "anal sex" turn into "careless sex"?

I guess sometimes you have to play it safe.

[Grasshopper0101]

@edgonzales2323 Maybe he changed the words to avoid casting anal sex in a negative light.

[MusicWriter1965]

@edgonzales2323 He also sang it as "careless sex" when he did this on Jools Holland's show in the '90s. The difference, of course, is that these two versions were going to be broadcast on TV. If anyone doesn't understand that, then they're a fucking retard

[cedr12345]

give me christ or hiroshima..

[dodiemuehleisen50]

yay for product placement...throughout the whole damn video..get this full album from downloadmusic.im

[1zappacadabra]

Yeahh

Happy birthday Leonard, 76 today!

[steveski74]

[TimTheThing1]

Leonard Cohen's radge! :D

[peskirabbit]

ace

[karolecampesine]

gotta love the Webb sisters dance

[MainManAus]

@karolecampesine gotta love the webb sisters!!

[Golgafrinchamdent]

Fantastic!

[necroxeon]

careless sex?????anal sex Leonard why u change da song

[MainManAus]

@necroxeon Because the soft cocks in the crowd will have a cry if he used the correct lyrics.

[SLAYERMANO]

que voz.....maestro!!

[rustycoalbin]

Leonard Cohen is the most amazing artist ever. Darker than metal, deeper than soul, more uplifting than gospel, he is the master of all the emotions. The greatest singer/songwriter this world has ever known.

[craigbushrod]

@rustycoalbin What an excellently worded and surprisingly accurate comment. To enjoy leonard cohen's music is to have exquisite taste and a healthy mind (of course the idea of a healthy mind in a world as deluded as ours is an entire different subject).

[nickkkyyy]

@rustycoalbin

[stuart7034]

@rustycoalbin no no he saidhimself he learnt to write after hearing dylan , do not get me wrong i luv cohen but dylan changed music at 19 yrs of age , cohen didnt start inti his mid twenties

[auldozrocker]

@rustycoalbin You nailed it !!

[MegaFoureyes]

@rustycoalbin , well let's not go overboard

[newfers]

@rustycoalbin Saw Leonard Cohen in concert a little over a year ago, just a week after seeing Bob Dylan, and Cohen blew him outta the water...what a showman, what a band, what an experience.... I hope his tour went well and that he's is able to live comfortably after having been robbed of so much money a few years back...

[muclesmarinara]

@newfers How dare you say that about Bob!

[kunistvan]

@rustycoalbin you forgot to add "poet" too :)

[zugzug6]

@rustycoalbin I don't know man. Tom Waits is up there as well. :)

[izgil82]

@rustycoalbin No on compares to Engelbert Humperdinck

[The050564]

This guy can really sing along with the greats like Willy Nelson

[blackacidlizzard]

@The050564

Cohen > Nelson

[zottnjoe]

@The050564

this guy is waaaay better than willy nelson

[MrAjtim]

I like beautiful melodies telling me terrible things.

[karolecampesine]

@MrAjtim that's a great line

[bingalong]

@MainManAus me too

[blackacidlizzard]

@MainManAus

Shit, I'll fuck Lenny.

Damn, he's so bad-ass, I'd let him fuck me.

[MainManAus]

@blackacidlizzard lol lol Yeah, I love Lenny! An absolute legend!! I can't wait until November when he comes to Australia! I've got my ticket ready to go!!!

[blackacidlizzard]

@MainManAus

I'm Jealous, bro.

On the Lenny and Australia counts,

;)

[karolecampesine]

@MainManAus I guess that's Leonard's privilege

[moonwarrior5]

@MainManAus Lowlife

[MainManAus]

Give me crack and anal sex!!!!

[tillmandonald]

the bird...the wire...The Future

[agentgooner007]

"I love him" "Perfect music" ??????????????? are you people totally blind or something?

[ClassicRock4Ever97]

@agentgooner007 First off, I think you mean deaf, not blind. Secondly, if you don't like him, fine. Don't listen to him anymore. But I especially love Everybody Knows and Tower of Song

[agentgooner007]

@ClassicRock4Ever97 I think you miss understood me and that gives me clue to not bother explaning.

[ClassicRock4Ever97]

@agentgooner007 If you don't mind, please tell me what you actually meant. Because I obviously misunderstood.

[patriciaboros]

i soooooo love him

[Alaves85]

perfect lyrics.

[sodacaifa]

this is a pleasure to hear your melody meaning none morale grandecomo

[BakaPyros]

He rocks that fedora so hard. <3

[sbbdancer25]

i'm the little jew that wrote the bible.

jizzface.

best line ever.

give me christ...give me hiroshima? yay. let's slide in all directions!

hahahahahahahahahahahahhahahah­ahahahahahaha

[Beverlynow2]

Things are sliding in every direction...I LOVE Leonard and would marry him even though I'm a man-hating Lesbian...

[Spiritofwhiteeagle]

His songs touch my heart.

[MrDavide456]

geniale...geniale

[gailkiefer]

to gerlandos are you crazy? he is from canada and has a great sense of humor....

[gerlandos]

is Cohen Italian or something?

[marcus251ful]

fab great love his huskey voice, his cord are spot on xx :)

[tracam1]

Love this song. He is wonderful.

[632117]

wonderful, I love him

[oshikl]

Leonard Will you be my grandfather

[ChuckUFarlie333]

I think the man is great but he should be called out on caving in and taking out the "give me crack and anal sex" line. He knows that line losses impact when you change it to careless sex.

[ghidorah242]

@ChuckUFarlie333 agree with you on this, im always expecting it to be said, still cant wait to see him in november

[glauberovsky]

one of my heroes.

[Kingdaddy8]

The best song about evil ever written. Even better than "Sympathy For The Devil."

[thinkslaughter]

Yesh

[lookformaat]

Great song, amazing man, fascinating artist. Very good vid quality.

[hardknocksphd]

Love him.

[enterthefarside]

"I have also studied deeply in the philosophies and the religions.. but cheerfulness kept breaking through."  haaaaaaaaaaaahah. all i have to say is I hope my voice ages like his

[HanneloreTaylor]

it is crack and careless sex, and he is the best

[evildave80]

he doesn't sing give me crack and anal sex but give crack and killer sex ?!?! why ?!

[Shankarasharya]

Absolut genial!

[3mnoseyella]

Amazing

[adalbero]

the older he gets the better he looks

[carolmaharry]

Hi Nordroken-

I am American, living in Ojai, California- of Scandinavian heritage. My grandmother was Swedish and my grandfather Norweigian . Let's become penpals and rave about Leonard Cohen with each other.

[carolmaharry]

HEY NORDKROKEN What the heck. Who says he is yours?

[carolmaharry]

I just purchased the 2009 London concert cd and it is truly the most wonderful of all of his music. His voice has matured so that every word is truly rich and sincere. I adore his sense of humor esp. about his in depth study of all of the world religions. I feel so filled with joyous energy when i see his 2009 London concert and hear the cd. What a master! Long Live Leonard!! , . His music touches my every cell. There are no words grand enough explain his music.

[carolmaharry]

Leonard, will you marry me?

[freithliner]

thks to mr gomez for sharing

[historyris27]

nice =)

[JonathanLundell]

thx for sharing!

[GRlPE]

Que paso con "ANAL SEX" !!!!

[NotYourBiggestFan]

"Give me crack and careless sex?!"

Gracias por subirlo. Nadie escribe canciones épicas como Cohen.

[Obelisk2290]

First song I ever heard from this Artistic Treasure,,,,,,, purely sublime prose

[jmorenon]

Perfect music,

thank you so much!
