  • Video is kinda cheesey, song is great! Love the haunting violin!

  • First time i watched this video - i cried. And i still feel the same. But these are not sad tears... Full of love...This song is Love. Thank you Leonard! Thank you...

  • Thank you Cohen Thank you.....................

  • Im Cryinggggggggggg soooo bad.... Remins me of my Grandparents And Parents that were always full of love and faithfulness and im crying because u never know when they will stop dancing ...

  • Makes me cry.

  • gives me chills

  • amazing song Mr.Leonard!!!!! a looot of passion into it!!!!!!!

  • this is a beutiful song:-] i wish they would make more songs like this......

  • I loved it....thank you

  • The words, the pictures, the mesmerizing voice.... It's really takes your heart and brings tears to the eyes for those who we loved and who are not any more with us.

  • fier d'être Canadien. maintenant et à jamais.

  • this is a great sad song-and I love it.

  • I remember reading on TVTropes that Leonard said this song was about a couple that were murdered in the Holocaust and was dismayed that so many people thought it was a romantic ballad.

  • @simonf42 If that's the case, his dismay is uncalled for considering the music video which HE created makes it look like the song is about a romantic ballad. I noticed the video has nothing that even hints of the Holocaust. Amirite? Amirite? :)

  • the sweetest song

  • Dedico esta canção e vídeo a todos meus amigos e amigas, shalom!

    Inah

  • Poezja w nutach zaklęta

  • Only a couple of days left until his NEW album "Old Ideas"!! I am so excited! He is such a talented singer/songwriter!

  • Now this is a wringer for the widows/widowers of the world! Apparently worth it -- I'm still watching it -- till the end of the video!

  • i had forgotten that people actually do this instead of just talking about it

    ohhhh sooo romantic **********

  • like this if you like both this song, and the jack beats remix of it.

  • Face it: You can be the straightest man in the planet, but that voice whispers in your ear and you fucking wet yourself.

  • @Zytrackz lol, yeah, that voice is mesmerizing, isnt it?

  • i love you

  • Love this xx

  • I love love this man!! I wish he could live forever

  • @GipsyQueen1234

    If he does he will have the lowest vocal range recorded in popular music :D

  • This guy really gets it.

  • if Vevo is going to shove an ad up ours don't make a political one...

  • Well, where has this little diddy been? Beautiful song for a first dance between the bride and groom at a wedding.

  • Also reflect that everytime someone leaves you.. it might be the last time you ever see them. Always leave with good things hanging in there air between you. Leave nothing sweet or good unsaid in case you never get the chance to say it. Have nothing to regret.. just in case.

  • Sadly poignant. As someone of experience, 60+, I can impart some wisdom. Reflect on the fact that the Universe doesn’t send an email, no Cosmic voice says, “This is the last time”. Treasure and savor every time. I still reflect on the times when I despaired because I wasn’t sure that love or even.. sex.. would EVER happen again and that I may have missed the email that said, “PAY ATTENTION!! TONIGHT IS THE LAST NIGHT..EVER!.

  • Siekiero, ale mnie wzruszasz. L.Cohen jest tlem mojego zycia, a ta piosenka najbardziej ulubiona. Mam nadzieje, ze bedziesz mial szanse patrzec w oczy ukochanej kobiecie, ale nie czekaj na pozniej, zrob to dzisiaj. Ja stracilam ukochanego mezczyzne, ale jego pamiec zyje we mnie i bedzie do konca. Ta piosenka to on. Dzieki za przypomnienie.

  • @ania57 -Don Kichot powiedział ,, los w nieszczesciach zostawia zawsze jedna furtke otwarta ,aby im zaradzic,, oraz,, myslec ze w tym zyciu rzeczy doczesne zawsze trwac beda niezmiennie to wierzyc w niemozliwosc ,, ALE MY CHCEMY W TO WIERZYC ZE TRWAC BEDA NIEZMIENNIE ... bo taka mamy nature.nie wiedziałem ze jednym wpisem mogłem ludziom dac cos do myslenia .przyznaje ze ,,sledze ,, Twoje wpisy i jestem gdzies obok,zycze WSZYSTKIEGO DOBREGO !!!

  • słucham tego od czasu do czasu ,nawet dostałem ze 3 maile ,siedze i patrze na zdjecia i szukam odpowiedzi dla mojej córki czemu nie mamy tego ,czy tamtego ,i chciałbym zeby wiedziała jak dorosnie ze dałem jej wiecej niz moga niektórzy kupujac nowe gadzety ,ze dalismy wszystko co mozna najlepszego nie wazne ze nie mamy swojego .. ale co tam .. widze usmiech i nie wiem jak sie to moje zycie dalej ułozy ,bo chmury i wiatr,ale sa sprawy które własnie nas jednocza -jestesmy rodzina ja ojcem w wieku37

    THe one of twins had/has amazing voice

    THe song is fantastic, unbelievable. Coming bac last 20 y

  • this is the most beatiful song which i've ever heard!

  • The background is priceless!

  • During the Holocaust they used to kill jews by gas chamber. During the gas chambers they would make Jewish Violinists play while killing their own people Leonard Cohen was in the camps when he wrote this song...

  • @TehMuppet12 Leonard Cohen is Canadian, was living in Montreal while the Holocaust was occurring. He was *inspired* by the camp violinists, but he was never subjected to that himself.

    Oddycham tym utworem...

    I teledysk, który jest tak dosadny...

    Niesamowite, naprawdę niesamowite...

  • Does anyone know who are the women doing the background vocals? They are great! One of them can be heard more than the other; she's got a beautiful voice but I haven't been able to find out who she is? And gorgeous too!

  • @skipnie52 ya they look like twins lol

  • Piękne...po prostu piękne...

  • I wish people would boycott VEVO's videos and all of their media. I wish people actually cared about the future of YouTube instead of just sitting there watching as it gets consumed by the greed of the music industry. Please everyone, if you see a VEVO video or a VEVO channel, don't click on it, don't watch it. Torrent your music or buy the CDs, but don't contribute to the death of YouTube.

  • masterpiece

  • this is soooo beautiful i listen to this over and over again thanks for giving us this unbeliveable voice

  • ahhhhhhh ;[

  • ....was that a Strat they burned? lol!

  • judy barre this is the most sexiest song and you too , just want you to now how i feel about you

  • greeetings from turkey..love this song..hahah im joking this is manuel from portugal

  • Since love never ends, then nor will dancing . . . and the transformations continue as the matter of me becomes the matter of you from an eternity of loving and dancing.

  • Great songwriter.

  • Whats up those 9 who dislike Leonard Cohen? Maybe they are mute.

  • @hawathuts That is exactly what I thought when I saw those dislikes. They must be the "dull of senses" we've heard tell about.

  • Czy zdajemy sobie sprawe co to jest milosc i co to znaczy tak naprawde kochac? Kochac tak bardzo ze brakuje nam slow , tesknic tak bardzo ze tylko marzyc ze by dotknac choc na jedna sekonde ukochanej osoby. Mysle ze nie ktozy to wiedza a inni jestem pewna ze sie dowiedza. Milosc przychodzi nie spodziewanie w naj mniej oczekiwanym momecie i, przyjdzie ona ta wyczekana ta wisnion milosc.

  • Beautiful, beautiful song. My anthem. Thank you Leonard. You have written a song for every human condition through the last 40 years. I love you then, now and always.

  • Vaguely remember this song.....beautiful.  A very appropriate video.

  • magical genius truly magical

  • ahhhhh... I am teary eyed speechless ((=^.^=))

  • This song is for my friends Sue & pete Swan

  • I am a 20 year old pot smokin' college kid. I love this song, does it make me odd? :P

  • @blueandyellowguitar That's not odd. You're just a walking cliche. :)

  • I never, ever want to see a Britney Spears advertisement adjacent anything by Leonard Cohen again. Ever.

  • Najcudowniejsza pieśń wszechczasów

  • @MissJasmine82 I'd rather have it played during my proposal and wedding..

  • holy bastard! :) Wana lose it!!!!!!  Is that mike patton in the clip?

  • Mr Leonard Cohen is one of greatest ever up there with Homer, Ovid, Shakespeare, Thomas Hardy, Tchaikovsky, Frank Sinatra,just to name a few.

  • What an incredibly moving and beautiful video. The music, photography, and the young couple were beautiful, I'd love to know who the two gorgeous back-up singers are and if they are twins.

  • Bellisismo!!

  • Beautiful, Thanks

    

  • Leonardo Cohen,barbaramente belo...

  • @SpecialWithAnR & mooney003

    Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification guys!

  • Las lágrimas queman mis ojos

  • Nice video, but I remember it differently for some reason. In the version of the video that I recall, the images are largely, if not entirely, in black and white. There's also a dancing ballerina featured throughout it.

  • @beagletender That's not the original I think. But I know which one you're talking about.

  • @beagletender - You're remembering the original. This one is much, much newer.

  • My name is Brian Nelson and I am a Graphic Designer and Illustrator with over 20 years of experience. I have branched out into the fine arts in the last ten years or so, and have also completed a Master of Fine Arts at RMIT University in Melbourne.

  • Ha, only 8 dislikes. WAIT. THAT'S AWFUL WHEN IT COMES TO LEONARD COHEN

  • This song is far too beautiful, that I tear up a little bit every time I watch it.

  • :D Wow. That's all of my thoughts put into 1 word. Wow.

  • Arcydzieło!!!

  • @pestka0123 Niewielu ludzi z młodszego grona się z tobą zgodzi. Taka muzyka trafia tylko do fanów retro. Sam nigdy nie interesowałem się twórczością Cohena - nie słucham nie będę słuchać, jednak ten kawałek zawsze będzie niepowtarzalnym. Nie tylko ze względu na lirykę, ale jedyny w swoim rodzaju klimat jakim który z niego tętni.

  • This always makes me cry, especially since I have to be away from my husband right now and he sang this to me over the phone! =,( Leonard Cohen is beautiful, who couldn't love him?

  • Reminds me of my mum and dad..he past away 16 years ago after a marriage of nearly 30 years and they were still deeply in love. She says he was the man of her life.(And Leonard always makes me cry)

  • 8 monyhs ago i lost my MOTHER & 2 week ago my FATHER passd away. this song make me to sade becuase i never see them dancing together

  • @arminealbert

    But they are dancing together, just close your eyes :-)

  • I don't think that I have ever before watched a video on Youtube and wept. Damn!

  • @MissJasmine82 you made me laugh, you sound like one hell of a woman, I'd marry you in a heart beat...you'll find a great man:)

  • :)

  • Ilove This music

  • :'] <3

  • in my top five most definitely. 

  • Bringing tears to my eyes....mom and dad, this one's for you.... :')

  • Beautiful! Made me bawl. Too bad I'll never get married.

  • Comment removed

  • Getting married soon, My darling and I are doing our wedding homework for our celebrant. Shit, got halfway through this comment before the wateroworks began! <3

  • nice , chudovo !!

  • he's look like a father Adam's Sandler ;)

  • Fajneeeeeeee...

  • ♥love it, :`(

  • reminds me of cassavetes' Opening Night

  • LOVE this! Great performance and video.

  • Piekne, brak slow na opisanie tego wyjatkowego artysty!

  • my son and i argued...about the best version of cohens hallaleujah...happily cognizant of how brilliant the song is...and how many folks had covered it...then he suprised me with tickets to see him in columbus ohio...i had seen him in the 70s...but...he was better at 70 plus...and he conceded...the original is best...

  • He might be Jewish but he is not Isreali. He can teach them so much about real love.

    Not wars if he was President of the US and or Isreal.

  • not bad for a nice jewish guy

  • super:):):)

  • This song is amazing...makes me cry. Love is beautiful.....

  • @MissJasmine82 This song is about life honey, Live it, and dance

    

  • PHILOSOPHYDEBATER: I SAY TO EACH HIS OWN - LIVE & LET LIVE! LIFE IS TOO SHORT!!

  • CLASS,UNDERSTANDING, SHEER BRILLIANCE, HE IS THE FIDDLER ON THE ROOF,HE HURTS YOU AS HE CARESSES YOU WITH THE TRUTHS OF LIFE,REGARDLESS IF YOU ARE MALE OR FEMALE LOVE LASTS FOR EVER. LET US DANCE EACH OTHER TO THE END OF LOVE

  • Check out Callie's version of this classic!

  • Życie w dwoje do późnej starości jest przepiękne.Przychodzi czas pożegnania to chwila nieubłagana .Nie wszystkim jednak jest dany los doczekać tak pięknej wspólnej starości.Czasem pozostaje tylko piękne wspomnienie.A szkoda.

  • It's so amazingly poinient. I would think that it would strike a chord with almost everyone.  Tour d'force. I listen to this and watch the video and I feel such a connection to everyone who has loved and lived before me. Such a powerful piece and an amazing performance. Thank you Leonard for this wonderful gift..

  • Real life - wonderful singing of Mr. Cohen - You sing from the heart ...

    You are a great artist !!!!

  • awesome...that's it.

  • THIS IS PRECIOUS, MORESO EVERYTIME I HEAR & WATCH IT! HERE'S TO TRUE LOVE BETWEEN A MAN & WOMAN - JUST WISH I COULD HAVE FOUND IT IN MY LIFETIME!

  • Every time I hear this song I just cry. Damn, I can't help it. Such beautiful video.

  • 3:25-3:30 GETS ME EVERY TIME I'M WATCHING THIS DAMN VIDEO...I CAN'T HELP IT...IT JUST BRAKES MY HEART...I'M A GUY BTW

  • @chikante ditto...

  • This song got me action... thanks LC.

  • Might be a good song at a Jewish wedding I guess....

  • sunkist sucs

  • Fantastyczny głos,piękne słowa,chce się tego słuchać

  • this the most beautiful song of cohen

  • piekne :)

  • @Danusia1954 to prawda. Miłość istnieje:):):)

  • A moving song.

    It is about living when much hope was lost.

    George Vreeland Hill

  • Dear Cohen,you nasty old perverted man,so blissfully untamed.I adore your many sides.I love how you put emotions together into something so remarkable.This song is probably my favorite though its hard to say.It gives me chills ,it moves me,it makes me dream.Thanks you old fart <3

  • The contrast between the two top rated comments made me laugh.

  • The Civil War's version is way better, mainly because they can sing.

    Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan are the greatest poets who can't sing.

    Infuckingcredible songwriting by both, but their voices make me cringe.

  • Comment removed

  • Such an amazing video for an amazing song. As a single person, this is almost too intense for me to watch because the depth of love it reveals is so powerful and beautiful and real.

  • Ja. I don`t know why, but this video make cry...lol

  • LOVE this song. The Civil Wars have a really great cover of it, too.

  • I wish this song with this video can be played in a wedding day.
