Leonard Cohen - One of Us Cannot Be Wrong

[buskingforlife]

who cares what video is playing, arent we here to listen to the music?

[tiftirighin]

La LaLA LAAAAA super

[cha1tman]

lol re the music video

[croisantin]

He have loved a woman who was unforgetable and he will have her back but could not and all others who have loved her before was died too and he will do the same die with driving fast most beutiful car to his end!So simply to me and you can read stories of man who die because they could get what they wont so many and this unforgetable woman and this amazing car go so fine together!Die with style

[lifereguard]

Bugatti Veyron doing over 400 k's. Brilliant.

Next time try putting it to ACDC Thunderstruck, not a soft poem like this.

[winggoddess]

these comments are more hilarious than the video.

[coxson]

painfully hilarious. its like watching white people dance to reggae. brilliant irony

[fleadle34]

Great song, great car, why not !

[LoveDriving2LCohen]

Must be  Leonard's car , (mikesakhalin) !!

[lou446]

Brilliant song but the video is so wrong!

[OSeanessy]

title is a non sequitur and the video is really, genuinely fucking awful and mawkishly mismatched. your head should be carved out.

[Fanatical86]

great song, useless car,

[goandrewgo]

Hahaha, Cohen would laugh

[sangolt88]

Veyron is still fastest. Its now got 1200 HP and can do a speed of 445 km/h.

[haakondahl]

26 of us cannot Veyron.

[nimaetminani]

The song and the video are very carefully chosen. If you don't see the connection, the harmony, the odd ticking of an ever elevating beauty; then your right side of the brain has taken a vacation. His voice, the power, the thrill...hitting those notes so harmoniously, much like the gears changing, speed increasing. And then, climax!

[RegieSatanas666]

@nimaetminani This would be true if the flow of the song and video coincided.... Not seeing that.

[yanfrom1987]

sweet like life 

..ehmm

bitter...

[grenthier]

Best Cohensong ever.

[oetlul]

This kinda feels the same as listening to Bach while watching a hardcore anal porn scene with Belladonna and Nacho Vidal. It just doesn't work.

[FlynnTrials]

@oetlul Your comment made me favourite this video. LOLOLOLOL

[TheEndKing]

@oetlul: Speak for yourself man, how do you think I wake up every morning?

[TheKFITTY]

@oetlul Quite the ANALogy you made there.

...I know that your comment is 10 months old, but I desperately wanted to make that pun.

[lvivboi]

@oetlul hahahahahaha

[MrNickzen]

really, cant imagine the connection between such beauty, song and car? Both finely crafted, elegant dreams in an ethereal way. Please try to live with a bit more passion, or at least hope to. LC and the Veyron speak to dreams with great finesse, and this is somehow wrong?

[olafunta]

Don't think Bugatti Veyron needs advertising. Can't work out the link between the song and the video either, apart maybe from the fact that they're both amazingly great?

[isaysee]

Can't help it- I like it- I see LC sayin'--> fasterNfaster - ? - higherNhigher - ? - - Why - ? - Where are you going - ? ----- is life & love the Olympics - ? - [ and pickin' up a few bucks ta boot ]- RockOn Lenny- you can do no wrong

[robinbushell]

Please, don't rape poor Leonard cohen with wanky car ads

[kutthroat84]

it would make more sense if the car smashed to pieces at the end

[potophan2006]

The song with this video makes it seem kind of surreal or something.Not the combination I would have made, but it's intriguing

[pexex90]

With regards to the song and the Video...Well, somebody must have sold the right play the song.

[paschal421]

yeah

i like this hallucinagentic portrait of a song

but as pointet out

WTF

[queeramy]

???WTF!!! this song and the commercial of a CAR?? omfg!!

[isaysee]

Magnificent AND ridiculous . Dear L.C showing us the glorious wonders of PURE CAPITOLISM. I hearby resolve I will sacrafice and exploit everything, - including you, so that I can have WAY more than is good for anyone. --AND AS GOD IS MY WITNESS -- I'll never go hungry again. [ enjoy your success Lenny -- I don't care why you do what you do - ]

[ninjaturtles1010]

what an odd combination

[BrinteySpears018]

the song is amazing I love it

[coralcadfish]

Some weenie-tech sports car and the wry, analogue beauty of L. Cohen. wtf?

[lokotron1]

the combination of the song and the car add is disturbing in a very deep way. its a soul touching song put against the promotion of one of the most frivolous objects that may exist.

[LightningSVTMan]

now i want to buy a Bugatti

[grenthier]

Best Cohensong ever!!

[parisianna87]

its not capturing much imagination,

you've not sold the concept of advertisment and you've merly tainted the song.Isn't there any better cars?

CLASSICS is CLASSICS

[JJB190192]

i fucking hate car ads

[Jinsai]

anyone who thinks this video is "appropriate" is very stupid. Sorry.

[JosephAndDavid]

Me and my friend made our own version of this song. We'd love you to hear it : ). It's posted on this account x

[shachardave]

Why would anyone even question the relationship between the car & what Leonard's talking about? Does anyone ever know what exactly he's referring to? It's all just opinion & guesswork, that's one of the reasons I love his work so much. Love his brilliance.

[vassnix]

bugatti veyron... love the car. can't understand the connection with the music, but, stragely, i like it!

[opaismoe]

cars and cohen wtf?

and i'm pretty sure this is story of isaac isnt it?

[donches123]

suprised lenord didnt get assinated like the other people who dont sing about cars and drugs, he reminds me of bob dylan in his younger years,

[Coleboe1]

@donches123 They do sound similar but I believe Leonard came first....

[breeze9ca]

Hmmm, kind of like modern art. . the message is that there is no meaning or that we cannot know it, no absolutes. . Plato philosophy. . fantasy but no truth.

[andrewlewis963]

reminds me of some of some of the most fake people i have met charlie hughes are you watching

[thomasioth2]

Link between the song and the video is ... ???

[zenun7]

great car and song????

[sidensvans67]

Great song ,,lovely car..

[bergsundet]

xxx

[simmy1055]

Wow!

[theseer27]

omg great vid. this really makes me wanna buy a Bugatti!

actually it just makes me wanna pick up my guitar and play mr cohen...

[johnny150db]

you cant buy this car.....

[drplbiftin]

with a million quid you can

[lepermessiah77]

great song, the videos kind of irrelavant but it helps get a good tune out to a different audience so its gotta be good!

[Ermengarde11]

You think like I do!! I'm always wanting to get a new perspective to people who might perhaps be too obsessed with material things, or who are not involved in life, politics, social causes, etc.

Curious that some car nut managed to put two very irrelevent things together this way, usually in car commercials you hear only rock music, so this was refreshing.

[iGaucho]

bugatti is brilliance, but LEONARD COHEN is BRILLIANT

[iGaucho]

A Bugatti is brilliant, but Leonard Cohen is Briliance!

[concupiscenctcubert]

Don't let Cohen see this! Bet he's sh** himself to see his song over a car ad

[bigtallcubsfan]

I never realized this song had a fine tuned German suspension and Italian leather seats. Tell me, does this song have OnStar? Will I be able to trade it in at the dealer if I lose my job?

[chipperthebrave10]

Great song, bad video.

[SpocksSister08]

I rather like this video. It doesn't try to interpret Cohen leaving the listener free to find their own meaning. It is just pleasant visuals that do not detract from the very beautiful song.

[BogdanLeitan]

Hmmmm..next time think twice..This has nothing to do with the " atmosphere " of the song....Dude, WTF ???

[Chuckintologist]

Whats with the car commercial in the back?

[gloupigloup]

I'm french, can somebody translate for me, please???

[IRon994]

Nope.

[Hakkasha]

Il suffit de taper "One of us cannot be wrong traduction" sur G**gle et le tour est joué ;)

[mikesakhalin]

What the fuck has this video got to do with my dear Leonard?

[thomasioth2]

@mikesakhalin

...As I said.

[michaelaknight666]

@mikesakhalin

it's a shame

[givebackrankflv]

@mikesakhalin Leonard Cohen to music is what Bugatti Veyron is to road cars. Get it?

[BigRabbie100]

@mikesakhalin I will second that !!!!!!

[ashburnhouse]

@mikesakhalin Irony. The salient aspect of Cohen's writing. 93 people miss the joke.

[craving777]

leonard sings of love, freedom, sex, belonging, longing, history, .... he is the best... been my fav since 1971... this is great version....his voice young and strong...saw him in toronto this year..dream come true....

[uclrichard]

i think, in retrospect, that is an 'ironic' love song...it is very disturbing when you first hear it...but...in the context of len's poems...he's clearly having a little bit of a laugh at his own expense...he does it rather well, i'd say...

[thenoconceptman]

Stupid bastard pig who you can use this fabulous and emotional song..with a lot of meaning for your meaningless and insignificant car fantasies?? how you can do it?? you are a bastard.. you dont have the right to live...fuuuckkkk youuu!!! agghhhh cunt!!

[madrague84]

LEONARD want to say be real in your love.

[grenthier]

Best Cohensong ever!!!!!!

[madrague84]

LEONARD one of a kind singer.this song stay for ever for all generations.

[grenthier]

Man, i'm gonna see him again in Rotterdam the 3th of november,dont be jelaus!!!!!!

[Sharambo]

how stupid you re to use this great song of great cohen for your babycarfantasies

[canada2love]

Sharambo: the common denominator is: craziness; so why not!

Cool song n cool bugatti, listening at 400+, may also be cool! He shared it, again cool.

[RAWRAMP1]

rather be an english bitch than an american warmonger,get a life moddriver..

[sheogroth]

this is great

[xmoddriver16]

HAHA now whose good at building cars? America Fuck Yeah you english bitches USA!

[dinamamma991]

Uh... Bugatti is French.

[JackMDT8888]

Wrong, Italian.......and now they are owned by either Audi or VW......that's who built the Veyron (this car) as an engineering excercise. They sell for 1.5 million.....but cost almost 5 million to build. 1001BHP......its got 18 radiators.....4 times wjhat I've got in my apt!!!

[dinamamma991]

No, Bugatti is French. Whilst the company is owned by Volkswagen, production, design and engineering is still done in Molsheim, France where the company was founded by Ettori Bugatti.

[JackMDT8888]

You're right, sorry, but the engineering was done in Germany by the Germans. They just wanted to prove they could do it. It'll probably be the last fastest car ever made. The Concorde of cars, sad to say.

[CiaranLiam]

No no no no.

Do not ruin great songs by setting them against dull male fantasy car porn. The song's making a point, and it's beautiful, and it has nothing to do with fast machines.

[dinamamma991]

I'd say the song and the car work well together - Not the car per sé as it were, but rather the photography. The car is also beautiful, a labour of love just as the song performed by Leonard Cohen. I find your statement quite as shallow as you accuse the video of being.

[CiaranLiam]

The car isn't beautiful though; it's not the projection of an inspiration or vision, or experience like the song; it doesn't hold any truths like the song, it doesn't hold up a mirror to humanity and love; it's a shiny machine that gets you from one place to another, and the photography- the slow panning over the gleaming bonnet; upshots of speeding wheels; it's pornographic in every way.

[dinamamma991]

Actually, I'd say that it is the projection of an inspiration and an emotion, I am no big fan of fast cars, or even cars in general - But the love and passion that is put into building and engineering these machines shouldn't in my opinion be diminished or looked down upon. And whilst it does not hold any truths, or has any chance to stand up to the beauty of human emotion and love, nothing does, so by all accounts any form of motion picture accompanying this video would by your logic be vain.

[canada2love]

Well done vid!

There's a match of dynamics in the raving bugatti and the raging 'blizzard of ice'.

[canada2love]

Just this single line, oh please let me come into the storm, has stayed with me for decades, guessing, fanning the fire of curiosity...

Songs can be true friends

[measiek]

how wonderfull it is... the tears just came to my eyes...

[pienniejj]

I am going to see him in Amsterdam!

[battlekatgalatica]

My most favourite Leonard song ever! i have to agree that the car footage takes a lot away from this glorious song!

have fun at the show grenthier... i saw him in may 2008 when he kicked off the tour, he doesn't disappoint! 3 hours of pure joy!

[yinty1]

make me smile inside

[grenthier]

Best Cohen song ever,july 2008 in Amsterdam.

And i have tickets!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[crispeter74]

souls, listen the words and the sound of music, not the... videos!

[grenthier]

Love the song, but what has the vidio to do with it?

[clipthesewings]

Great sound. Thanks for posting

[CraigSW1979]

Ridiculous. The person responsible should be shot...really, shot...not tazared...shot with a gun. Idiot is making Cohen look bad, and Cohen is great.

[Muskadash]

So you advocate execution for anyone who "makes Cohen look bad"?

[breeeegs]

YES! ;)

[chrissstopherG]

i don't think it makes cohen look bad, it makes the car look excessive (which it is)

[singingweasel]

Wow, this song is sensational. What fantastic lyrics. Would be amazing if the video showed

Leonard performing it - but it doesn't. For Cohen lovers like me, the appreciation of this song is best played with the video out of view. However, if I have to put up with the car in order to hear the fantastic music, then I thank thunderbird for posting!

[davidtheguitarman]

dude, but 400 km/h are ever a madness.

[Beagslie76]

I normally hate the youtube hater comments, but what the FUCK?

Taking a song with such power and putting it with a car video? OOOOOO it goes fast! Wow! Pull me up a chair I had no idea cars went fast!?!?!

Please put the video to something by Bitchney Spears or some other Pop Sucker (or better yet Limp Bizcut) and leave the the songs with meening to those who appreciate them.

[lambolambo11]

hey "shadowmuggy" look i am american and i love euro s.c.'s i mean my favorite car is lamborghini but the point is the ssc has been tested for cornering like the other guy said it beat an enzo. so just suck it up take it like the little bitch that you are, sit down, and SHUT THE F*CK UP!!!!!

[jolsonandjones]

why the hell would someone pair this song (this amazing song, at that) with fast car footage?!

i have no opinion to give in the car argument, but geez, the music and visuals just don't work together!

[kevincolvin]

ssc: Twin Turbo'd V8 1187hp. Veyron: V8 [ithink] 4 Turbos 6 radiators 1001hp. and the ssc is still faster. America isn't known for cornering. there known for muscle and power. we obviously have that and put it to work to make the worlds fastest car to date. So take ur lil BMW ricers and shove them up ur ass!

[shadowmuggy]

better than bugatti???? u stereotipical YANKS, u always think ure shit is better... but ure wrong.... the ssc can only go in a straight line and beat the bugatti, but it sucks at cornering and all other technical aspects.... AMERICAN cars suck!!!!!!!!!!

[powematt]

you idiot, it beat the ferrari enzo in the slalom. hows that for cornering douche bag. Mabey its the stereotypical euro trash that always thinks their better.

[iwasbornin87]

i could only watch about 10 sec of this.

why the fuck use such a beautiful song and completely destroy it with unrelevant imagery?

stupid

[Skentelbery]

-cough- Irrelavent sorry lol

[Polynomial9]

Where's Leonard in this clip?, Oh I , know , silly me... he is the one driving that outrageously fast car .....it's not the type of song, to be singing while driving at incredible speeds..... I got to hand it to ya Leonard , you have great taste in music and cars...... me too ;-) see ya!

[bbFUK]

well said empress

[EmpressZ1]

Oh PLEASE! Who CARES about the damn car??? LISTEN TO THE SONG!

[djangomagee222]

yeah!!! that bugatti sucks dude!!!

[azahelle]

if we are talking about top speed, the ssc is the fastest and better than bugatti

[jullex92]

This is sick! Wtf is this video?! This song has abeslutely nothing to do with cars! Fuck me, you have ruined this song with this pathetic video... global warming anyone? Ride a fucking bike instead!

[TheOfficialKC]

Global warming has nothing to do with cars.

[FILTHYFAKE]

or Leonard Cohen..

[theviking71]

To Cedric, I agree. American cars are stupid, slow and ugly.

[vitaz4050]

becouse you cant afford them,duh!!?

[TheOfficialKC]

SSC-Worlds Fastest Car, Saleen S7 TT can destroy most other cars in any race, Mosler MT900s whoops on the track, and the Ford GT is the sexiest car ever made.

[cedric]

With brute force and ignorance, you can make anything go fast. You can even make it fly, just look at helicopters and the apollo 11. Americans cannot make cars go around corners, they make the most ugliest, piontless pieces of shit that fall apart after 5 minutes. American cars SUCK!!!

[TheOfficialKC]

Americans can't make cars go around corners? Ford GT40 beat Ferrari, Corvettes are as fast as 911 GT3s, Mosler MT900 Photon is the only car 5th Gear could find to beat a motorcycle around a track, SSC Ultimate Aero beat Road & Tracks slalom record. Saleen S7 TT, SSC UATT, MT900, and corvettes all pull 1+gs on the skid pad.

[schvartzvald]

pull your head out chief, SSC kicks euro-ass. Keep your volkswagen.

[dominicancheif117]

ssc sux i dont care if it beat the bugattis speed

[TheOfficialKC]

thats just denial. its not healthy.

[RCH800]

The magic phrase, Fastest "PRODUCTION" Car. That mean it's not only made for breaking the Veyron record, but also you can commute normal with the car. I really doubt SSC was going to make a car that can go faster than the Veyron but handling would be worst. It's like having a pancake with out the fixings. It just doesn't work.

[gennno123]

lol , the veyron u can use every day and it works all the time. the ssc is just one of those cars that can maybe reach the 400+ but will it work monday morning to work ? AND ONE BIG DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE VEYRON CAN GO AROUND A CORNER TOO (FAST) !!! .

[GVVJG]

lol, the ultimate Aero has broken the record in slalom course 73.1 mph. So you aren't right, the SSC corners faster than your silly Veyron xD

[vitaz4050]

maybe,maybe not,buy one SSC and tell us please!

[fredfp]

SSC owns veyron
