Fuck you YouTube. At 1:50 the song was interrupted by a fucking ad (that couldn't be skipped). That's the third video this has happened to me on.

[BlackMountainScar]

Fucking excellent song and great footage.. Love it!!!

[navojoARISTOCRAT]

this video is a classic example how, strangely, sound and imagery correlate. excellent use of black and white that expresses the raw emotion of the song!

[molibento]

nice work

[SpencerJacobMusic]

Good stuff!

[PINOSCOGNA]

Ma è una cover di "Gordon" dei Nomadi!!!!!

[JBinOtown]

Also, this is the furthest you can go in the universe from Beyonce

[JBinOtown]

His most under-rated gem, along with "The Guests" and "the Traitor".

The 3 of them are like a wine-soaked, dark, fever dream............

[uclrichard]

a superb film - authoritative and sensitive to cohen's great song. one of the best on you tube and one of the best 'videos' i've seen since the great days of jarman (smiths and pet shop boys) and the wonderful early REM films.

[StructuralEngineer]

7 idiots, so far.

[bradleyplaymeasong]

its your turn beloved, it is your flesh that i wear.

[narni65]

long time to here this so mint feels like all you lot are babies lmao

[jordisampe]

Magnificent!!!

[LomaxMcGee3]

... this haunts me...

[DavidfromBA]

@LomaxMcGee3 Leonard Cohen's music tends to have that effect on a lot of people. I highly recommend checking out his other songs if you haven't already, as well as seeing him in concert should the opportunity present itself.

[kateclark85]

words cannot describe how this song makes me feel. I adore Leonard Cohen and this track is incredible!!

[IIIAlucardIII]

can u post that picture at 3:20 with pistol somewhere pls? :)

[poisonandantidote]

This is probably the best video I've seen on YouTube. Thank you!

[thestranger4812]

The most powerful song ever made.

[FLA3H91]

it's a little bit melancholic ...but a perfect song........ I LOVE BUT LOVE LEONARD , as a singer, as a poet , as a human ,as a personality

great work with that video too

[OtoataMo]

Forma parte de la banda sonora de la película MR70

[JoshSigurdsonMusic]

By any chance was this filmed in British Columbia? I seem to recognize quite a bit in this video.

And by the way your video is beautiful. It would be an understatement to say you're going to make it far in the independent film business, because personally I think you completely recreated the music video with this and I think you'll one day be one of the top film makers in the world if you keep making videos like this. Good luck! -Josh

[GeorgiePPuddinPie]

Cohen at his best, although the man is a superb songwriter and storyteller. I first saw this song listed on a website for family and friends of those with mental illness (specifically bipolar and borderline personality disorder). It speaks to the symptoms and self-loathing of the sufferers. Cohen is a master !

[JustCamus]

Awesome.:) Thank you for posting.

[danielzimmy69]

Thumbs up if you first heard this song watching the 1972 Summit series biography

[FauvistVideo]

super nice video, the gun in the water is beautiful...

[theSodMonster]

this song is a bitch to play on guitar

[homoerectus1871]

[SomeGuy1400]

Great video! I didn't understand some of the shots (eg, at 1:55) but overall great stuff, and well-timed.

[cosmicrider287]

total master.cohen gives dylan a run for his money.

[TTrmetal]

great video. Congratz.

[JazzyJonas]

Cohen > Dylan. Any day.

[nimatiks]

[ArepoEn]

Congratulations for your sensitive video which fits the mood of this marvelous Cohen's song perfectly.

[MrJimmytheknife]

i think humble is the wrong word

[JaystarOne]

That's what I call a vision.

Thanks a lot, "FreeVisions" !!!!!!!!

(My eyes are watery now, ya bastard..)

Long live Leonard Cohen!

[KLUGPRODUCTIONS]

great video... very gothic images and very good taste!

[MsAntonija]

Great video.

[perdutasaggezza]

super nice video!

[Jahmz87]

wauw

[maestroba]

Perfect song, great video. Congrats.

[plushsnail]

not trying to be all nostalgic but this song sounds a lot better on vinyl...

[eow00001]

I'm amazed at that possibility

[eow00001]

How is that possible?

[ScottyBoom]

Everything sounds better on Vinyl, it's warmer.

[mutantthrash]

i totally agree, if only vinyl was in my price range.

[Vitanova999]

Thank you very much whoever posted that great film on one of my fav songs. Let me call it "golden sadness"

[UandMeKid]

Well done VreeFisions! I'm impressed by your vision of this song.

[BreeMario]

i LOVE this song!

[Skarvig]

The video just fits the music of Cohen. It's the depressing minimalistic Guitar and his voice that makes the song sad. The video without any colour besides, black and grey is a perfect match.

Great Work.

[piggybags]

cohen at his best. Nice vid as well.. Keep it up!

[tehfunney]

very well done!

[Athinamare]

perfect video for this great song that means so much to me! thank you very much! i'll put a link on fb

[Billnecroslaughter]

one of my favorite songs ever, and maybe the most beutiful video made by a single man! Thank you for sharing this Freefisions!

i already have this oin my favorites!

thanx again and cheers!

[Ayshwaria07]

The avalanche of love and hate. What a wonderful song by Leonard Cohen! Great.

[lilaclyrik]

This is a beautiful film. I feel fortunate to have found it. Normally I look for songs I like and don't really look at what ever images people tend to place with the songs but I'm truly glad I took a moment and watched your expresion. Thank you.

[owlbs]

jesus h christ, this is perfect!

great piece of work. this is my all time favorite music video. its incredible.

THANK YOU

[VreeFisions]

Hey thank you.

[schalltoeter]

@owlbs indeed nice

[LISA520526]

@owlbs

Jag gråter till denna låt just nu, därför att jag känner den och lever i den, jag är i sorg för att mitt liv blev som det blev. Mycket vackert och så känslosamt.

[winggoddess]

@owlbs what does the h stand for?

[ajohms]

You just have to know....to KNOW.

this song is almost nothing, i dont know.

[strangerlc]

nice video, such a simple song, such complicated

[alitaris]

What a beautiful song. This album is one of the darkest I own.

[xynalitis]

@alitaris Get more albums

[Yusef22179]

One of my favorites from Mr. Leonard Cohen. I know of no other song that is so minimalistic yet so ominous and brooding. He is definitely the greatest "writer" among "songwriters".

[ortmuci]

It was really beautiful.

I guess it was not your first film, was it?

Does Mr Cohen know it?

[heidihc]

absolutely beautiful!!

[whannes]

you succeeded in this video. could have been more creepy though.

[SempreSoloNomadi]

it's very similar to Gordon of Guccini.... what's the year when this song has been written?

[linuxlad]

1971 - 'songs of love and hate'

{WP is your friend}

[whannes]

also, descriptions are friends with everyone

[zeldiy]

my favourite lenny song...

thankyou for giving us the original version.

truly awesome.

[mzfiguer]

The scene of the man walking the path with the hills of grass is so beautiful. Cheers.

[Ascordigan]

This really is a great song. The pictures in it is amazing.

[Timeticker]

Weer een bewijs dat dat je oog hebt voor mooie shots. Prikkeldraad en het pistool met wierook is echt gaaf bedacht! Was dat Sean trouwens? :D

[5pid3y]
