  • Thank You

  • Sooooooooo good! 

  • Amazing Music!!!. Thank You!!!.

  • DAMN! she has the pipes! Of course, I can't take any credit for her singing, or our athletes AWESOME performances, but it , somehow, still makes me EVEN prouder to be Canadian! I'm a happy camper! They made us SO proud!

  • Don't waste your money buying the "official" version. Studio workings can't come close to the passion, the energy, the intensity of this live version. The live version is so powerful, nothing can come close to it, not even their peddled "official" version.

    Thanks for downloading this.

    Wow!

    KD...you made Canada proud.

  • Agree with everyone on here---IF You ARENT MOVED When hearing KD sing this, then you have something seriously wrong with your emotional center!!! Saw this performance, and I was spellbound.....3 words: A-MAZ-ING!!!!!!!!

  • she is a god....

    long live great covers

  • she is a god....

  • Wow

  • It was one of the most gorgeous live performances I've seen broadcast for some time. Thanks for sharing. :)

  • In response to inthewaside, I couldn't have put it better myself. Oh, wait!! You forgot; the best part is, she's Canadian. Same thing about the Snowbirds. If you are not teleported while watching them fly, there is something wrong with you.

  • WHAT AN AMAZING VOICE THIS LADY HAS!! IF YOU'RE NOT MOVED TO TEARS BY THIS VERSION, THAN SOMETHING IS DESPERATELY WRONG WITH YOU!!

    THANK YOU SOOO VERY MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!

  • so very great 

  • What a great voice & song. I'm so proud she is from Alberta.

  • This IS (according to me anyway) the best version of this song ever been made! This is real feeling put into the lyrics and song. I have heard a lot of versions but this is unmatched. Thank you K.D. Lang and thank you OopeeShaba for sharing!

  • Amazing.. thank you for sharing ... love the divine light with the divine KD

  • I love K.D. with ketchup and in my ears!!! mMMMMMmm! KD! At least she didn't lip synch like Brian Adams and Nelly F.!! Did Sarah lip synch? This Olympics was epic for Canada in every way!! Except one. R.I.P. Nodar Kumaritashvili

  • wow 10000 views. never knew this would be so popular! thanks and i'm glad you've enjoyed!

  • Nice job recording the ACTUAL version! There are other ones from the 2010 Olympics on YouTube, but they're the pre-recorded, 'direct-to-DVD' versions, not the real one with crowd sounds and such. kd did her own thing for the actual, non-pre-recorded version that just made it the best version I've ever heard of Leonard Cohen's song. Your recording squelches out some of the high frequencies (can hardly hear the drums/cymbals) but it's genuine. Thanks for sharing it!

  • @Coelacanth97 you're welcome! thanks for the comment! it's been a pleasure seeing how much people like this song. i have lived in vancouver my entire life so it is a special song to me

  • Wow!!! K.D. is amazing! This is probably my fave K.D. song!

    Thanks for sharing.

    Stu :-)

  • why does this make my hair stand on end?

  • dh107 it's4-14-10 still playing kd can't stop the heart beat and tears

  • Für mich ist k.d. lang einer der schönsten und berührendsten weiblichen Stimmen!

  • thank you for posting this - sound quality is great and I needed to hear this tonight. KD Lang outdid herself at the Olympics!

  • I came in from work at about 3 am and turned the tv and computer on.

    Just as i was sitting down to the computer she hit the first note of this song and I had to turn around and watch the whole performance.

    It was as much fun to watch as listen to.

    When someone is in the zone and does something so beautiful its compelling and this will be a favorite of mine for the rest of my life.

    nice video by the way. I wish it was the real performance but this was very nice.

  • Excellent video/audio - 5 Stars!

    Great job Oopee!!!

  • Regardless of if you like the Olympics or not, like kd lang or not... If this song doesn't teleport you when she sings it... there's something wrong with you.

    Thanks for uploading it!

  • Thanks a million for uploading this beauty! Been waiting for the Olympics to end so this wonderful version could be found! :)

    K D Lang is simply.. amazing.. What a voice!!!!

  • you're welcome! :)

  • @OopeeShaba I was wondering if you could send me the mp3 of this live version as well...

    THANK YOU in advance :)

  • Wow !!

  • can u send me ur mp3 versionpls this is so dam good

  • where can i download the olympic version !??

  • i don't think you can. i pulled this song off the actual opening ceremonies event, cleaned it up and turned it into an mp3. you can probably find an earlier recording, but not sure about this particular one...
