I am a Falun Gong practitioner. Falun Dafa is a cultivation system in the Buddha School based on the principles of the Universe: 真 Truthfulness 善 Compassion 忍 Forbearance.
Since 1999 it has been brutally persecuted by the CCP in China. People are being killed, tortured, put into concentration camps and have organs harvested from live people, simply because of their belief. More than 3400 Falun Gong practitioners have died at the hands of CCP in the past 12 years.
The three people who disliked it of course do not understand the vast beauty of the unconscious. They must not only listen to the character of the music but also the deep rooting meaning of these emotions Leonard Cohen was gracious enough to release for us to share. Perhaps they're scared of the bitter truth, I don't blame them for being scared but one must face the unwanted before they can conquer it, and that is exactly what Leonard did with this song & so many others. Long Live Leonard Cohen!
The depth of the song is so beautiful it could only be from a personal experience. We can enjoy the greatness of this song. It sounds like a peaceful End.
Nice work! But speaking from experience: when the music company discovers this tribute, they will send a warning message that a copyright violation has been committed if permission hasn't been granted.
wonderfull song. thank you mr cohen for this masterpiece. there is soo much pain in life, but if we looke closely, we can see the blessings that the lord has given us. god bless.
If there is beauty in pain, if there is salvation in truth then he has humbly offered us a way to shed the burden of humanity for the time being. If this wisdom is almost too much to bear as I listen head bowed, I shudder imagining the depth of the spring from which it flows.

Leonard Cohen is ALIVE, and he still tours! What's with the "had" comments?
This is one of my favorite songs of all time--it exudes such powerful and deep emotions, out of such simple yet beautiful words!

In spite of my aversion against anything religious, this song and its counterpart (to me) 'Who by fire' touch me in a way I can't explain.
Do find the version Leonard gives in recent concerts in which he only recites it and then lets the Webb Sisters 'unfold the song'.
It is so beautiful it hurts.
