A Thousand Kisses Deep

[sixsider6]

am i the only one who thinks this song is creepy and suicidal ?????

[trollfinger]

@sixsider6

Suicidal ? If a song makes you want to commit suicide, then the problem goes much further.

[FreeTibetChinaOUT]

Lenny, you are da man! you are one of the rare gifts to humanity. Thank you for being alive and sharing your gifts with us.

[DinoArchon]

Sometimes it's good to have someone put words in your mouth.. case in point. Thanks Lenny!!

[thefunkyworm1]

I'm so happy to see this version back online. I saw it about six months ago and then it seemed to disappear until now. Does anyone know the backstory of the couple and family shown in the video?

[wawamao]

amazing song

[magdakucerova]

nádherné...musel si hodně milovat...

[funkywormguy]

I saw him this week in Chicago. Life changing, life affirming. For those of you who haven't seen him in concert, please do so.

[VercingetorixXIII]

This has to be one of the most touching videos on the internet... us wretched and meek, gather up our hearts and go, and deal with our invincible defeat.... we keep turning tricks and getting fixed... we win awhile an d then its done... a thousand heartbreaking kisses deep...

[VercingetorixXIII]

Are the people in the pictures still alive? Maybe its the music, but I get the sad feeling someone is no longer here...

[JTho658351]

It's the balck and white

[VercingetorixXIII]

PS, Im a scavenger too...

[JTho658351]

You get it too............

[VercingetorixXIII]

Reminds me of my fucked up life... Ive already slipped "into the masterpiece"

[ivanfilios]

Thank you for sharing this song and your beautiful video. A thousand kisses deep!

[JTho658351]

Check out "Boogie Street" an unhappy place some of us often find ourselves....

[VercingetorixXIII]

Obviously, you understand what Boogie street is, an archaic term today, but those who have been there know... I prefer Boogie street to any other street... It suits my soul...

[SATISFACTIONZ0R]

I want it at my damn funeral.

[rudiiiiiiiiiii]

what a voice, irresistible and unrepeatible

[JTho658351]

cool vid. Song is not so happy. Dude wanted the dream but came up a loser....a thousand kisses deep

[44pullups]

when realize that this is not paradise... you understand that a "thousand kisses deep" is not about dreams of victory

[VercingetorixXIII]

no 44pullups, it is about defeat, and loss of dreams we have when we are young, then we find ourselves oler and realize, nothing we dreamed about ever happened... we slipped into the masterpiece with no hope of climbing out.... a thousand kisses deep...

[MarvinsInk]

Wow, I love to listen to the song, your video is a beautiful expression of you love for each other. may you continue to live and love passionately and courageously.

[franzferdpak]

this song can have so many meanings, wonder what he was thinking when he wrote it.

[DimeisGod04]

thats the genius of it. It means something different to everyone since we try to identify ourselves with it. I'm sure that an intellectual of his caliber was aware of this.

[JTho658351]

This guy has been throwing meanings at me for 40 years. His lyrics were like aguide book for me growing up

[21IV13]

Leila, I LOVE this video.  Those lyrics are mesmerizing.

[lagbnaft]

If you listen to this song you truely understand love is about keeping love, even through struggles. Keep the kisses in love...

Very nice Leonard and thanks for sharing the slide show with us Melisasong, it added even more meaning.

[mustflyhigher]

great song suck slide show what the fuck is this ?

[kshnu]

"I made it to the forward deck.

I blessed our remnant fleet

And then consented to be wrecked"

these are just the best lyrics ever,think about them for a moment.just brilliant.

[CB5525]

great song

[paaldium]

Amazing song! Wonderful theme for a love prelude...

[JTho658351]

Wow this couple says it all

Very powerful and sweet

Brings back my own early mems

[rainyfoggyday]

lovely...love lasts forever...someone still believes in that? listenning leonard cohen, I do...

[szerzsebet]

gyönyörű

[zootma]

Hi, you are a true romatic - beautiful song and wonderful relevant images - more love and kisses to you - if only we (I) had more ways of evoking these feelings in our (my) everyday life more often. take care Joannie

[SirSpleenovich]

Ireland speaks better English than America, I'll tell you that for nothing.

[trollfinger]

Heard this in a taxi the other night. brilliant.

[vanyllas]

wonderful... thanks!!

[alexdent85]

just amazing....makes me wanna cry...so many memories...so many bad days passed listenin this song!

[onecrazyredhead5]

they could not have chosen a better song to enhance the mood of "The Good Thief".

[anghelrodi]

amazing life storry you have and to put this song it make more wonderfull,,nice to hear all is ok,ths for sharing with as

[Melisasong]

We are now not only back together, but also engaged! I was very sad during a short breakup...now our "winning streak" continues:)

[DavidAverbuch]

The last two stanzas are redundant.

[DavidAverbuch]

I meant - the last two stanzas in the lyrics you typed at the "Show more" are redundant.

[fioremichel]

Only one word: "AMEZING'......:)

[manogomba]

egyszerűen profi. wonderfull, wonderfull, nagyszerű, csodálatos. Miért is nem ismerhettük a dalait sokkal előbb, csak most találtam rá itt a neten. Persze, mert vallásos énekes labdába sem rúghatott Magyarországon 40 évig. Rendkívül nyugtató, ellazító, relaxáló ez a dala is, nem tudok betelni vele. Csak gratulálni lehet az ilyen előadónak

[atlantideales]

adorabile canzone.Bravo Cohen!Bella voce...suggestiva...

[theresa450]

it is awesome, the lyrics are amazing.

[KATLINRIMER08]

ohhlala great voice

[colainmuhcolon]

I remember this song from the Nick Nolte film "the good thief", kind of a strung out chain smoking version of "ocean's eleven" with better acting. Bono from U2 sings old blue eyes version of "thats life" on that soundtrack, another must have.

[pigozp]

I love Leonard Cohen from 28 years. I want this song in my funeral.

[mirelacret]

so profound...wonderfull..

[absenceoftouch]

he has saved my life so many times...

[carbite1]

this is a great song ..... Leonard Cohen is the best ...

[Tweetylady15]

Mmm...floating away.. heard it on veronica mars..magic moment..wish you lay there, hearing his voice

[existingappointment]

How does he do this thing with the words?While unclear they resonate and that is the feeling. How does he do this?

[towardsmerrydeath]

It´s simple. He just slings the navel.

[andedrag]

Does this expression (to sling the navel) have any sense? What does it mean?

[towardsmerrydeath]

I mean: It´s just pure inspiration.

[tevson]

Cohen is great.

He's presented us with so many beautiful songs.

Must have gone through so much to write these songs and poems.

[gaba540901]

what a say - simple and pretty song

[yngwie30]

i love you leonard.......te iubesc din tot sufletul si respect muzica

[t87mobile]

Great song. First heard it in the movie "Good Thief'. Loved it ever since

[AllKindsOfEverything]

Same here. Sadly overlooked film and song.

[loperspest]

that where I heard it as well, I could watch the movie just for that song. Of course it is a good movie anyways. Nick Nolte's charachter is this movie made flesh.

[rodrymoya]

great vid!

[UChewbANNA]

Great video, you can tell the story of this couple, don't know what happened to them, but it does sound bittersweet.

[ThomasW86]

There is just a special calmness to this song, which is absolutely fantastic..

[munyerber]

the most beautiful song...slow and delicious

[KungFuCrazyMan]

Beautiful song. Odd video.

[Hellbone24]

reminds me of my drugged up past.beautiful song!!!!

[Alinutza78]

great song! love cohen sooo much!!!

[32kostas32]

thank you for posting

regards from Greece

[DaveDaddario]

Such a undescrible beautiful song!

[Melisasong]

Memories of Jim and Melisa over the last year or so. The first 90 secs move rather slowly followed by more pictures. Bittersweet.

[UChewbANNA]

could you say what happened to this couple? Great tribute anyway.

[UChewbANNA]

My bad, I just read your tags. So sorry.

[VercingetorixXIII]

Please tell me, who is Jim and Melissa? Are they still here? It seems as though they are not... who are they?
