What a beautiful video. I love this song. What a great performer, what a voice and what a kind and intellectuel man he is! Thank you for sharing this.

Blessed be;

interviewer: "Some people might say: Why would you want to live over these shacks?"

Cohen: "Not many people"

He called BS, subtly.

[RickeyClim3s]

Who sings that version of Un Canadien Errant that he translates?

[tommasosega]

@RickeyClim3s himself, from the album "Recent Songs" 1979

The whole maritimes should be reunited and called once again ACADIA.

[Policier911]

La «Canadien errant» en question n'est pas un Canadien dans le sens contemporain. Il s'agit de l'ancienne désignation que se donnaient les Canadiens français qui, majoritairement regroupés au Québec aujourd'hui, ont choisi de s'appeler Québécois après s'être fait piller leur identité et leurs symboles historiques par le Canada.

[ThomasDeanNordlum]

@Policier911 It's true. A lot of people don't realize that Canadian means those who lived along the fleuve St-Laurent (as well as their townships). And of course those people were not orginally nor generally anglophones or even acadiens but the québécois.

Where can i buy this movie?

[MemphisBlueAgain]

I think he is very sentimental. He almost cried, but then he got a cup of coffee. Anyoe knows if he still lives in such a surrounding in L.A? Wouldn't surprise me if he did...

[allthosechances]

@MemphisBlueAgain

he lives in montreal again, said so in an interview on CBC a few months ago

[r8448]

@forugh Try harder. Maybe once you'll be funny.

Un Canadien Errant is a wonderful piece! Check Out My Piano Rendition of Un Canadien Errant!

[gyno83]

cette chanson a été écrite en 1842 quand Antoine Guérin Lajoie a vu passé un grand bateau noir sur le fleuve transportant les patriotes de 1837-1838 vers la déportation qui les attendaient

We'll always have brome lake or bromide lake

WZRUSZAJACE !!!

[prettythingsdie]

I know no one will believe this but my mom grew up with Leonard and Hazel. Hazel is still very much a part of my life and I love her dearly. Everyime I talk to her and see her on the street I become more and more aware of how awesome it is, and how lucky I am, that I know these people.

[DangerousBastard]

Why wouldn't we believe it? Thats cool! :-)

[Shiverrus]

So glad to see this -would love to see more of this film. I adore the man.

[pips71]

am glad you enjoyed Birmingham so did I and Manchester, can't wait to see him in Liverpool later in july!

[hiddeninromance]

ahh you are so lucky! My student budget wouldn't stretch that far!! I got a glastonbury ticket, so maybe that will compare like 50% to seeing Cohen...my real despair comes from the fact that, (as a man on the coach back from Dylan at the O2 pointed out:) - I'm 21 and seeing Cohen will be the best thing you ever see! What do I have to look forward too?!? Haha I have amazing memories though

[weirdo11328]

A P.O.W. of Dieppe named Lucien Dumais whistled the tune of this song in an attempt to find his fellow soldiers after he escaped from a German train. This song means so much for Canada and Quebec.

[pips71]

me too leonard Rocks I saw him in concert in Manchester UK and will see him again at Birmingham in 2 weeks time, all hail Leonard xxx

[hiddeninromance]

The birmingham concert was beautiful, it was my 21st birthday present - perfect

[LeCanadienerrant]

I wonder if Leonard Cohen really live there ? And I also wonder if it was him singning my song ? ha Ha Ha ! Well he is still wandering around the world just like me and we might even meet as he is coming right here in Perth, Western Australia.

I can't wait to see him

[ashburnhouse]

Of course he lived there, still owns the house.

[Ebru69]

"Some people might look out and say 'Oh why do you want to live over all these shacks and old balconies?'"

I love Leonards quiet response: "Not very many people"

1000kissesdeep, its one added kiss from me for that upload.

I wish I could climb over the balcony bringing Leonard coffee like Hazel.
