  • Świetnie wykonuje ten utwór Maciek Zembaty w swoim tłumaczeniu.

  • @mirek2201 w którym jest chyba nieścisłość, w miejscu gdzie cohen śpiewa o poście, a zembaty o pchełce, n'est pas?

  • The look on Leonards face at 2.01 is as deep as the ocean.

    What a superb piece of songwriting.

  • In an interview, Leonard said that he thought there were a few of his songs that were better translated via other singers (e.g., Billy Joel on Light As A Breeze). This, here, sounds like a Woody Guthrie imitation.. how 'bout Johnny Cash doing a Leonard Cohen song. I like Teddy Thompson's version better.

  • Speechless....Always with Mr.Cohen....

  • Great song...Teddy Thompson does it justice as well...sat on the same counter stool at Wilensky's that LC sat on...Fairmout and Clark, but then I did grow up there.

  • @Tinhamper I grew up in the area too. Laval and Pine ave but I thought it was a place on Milton near McGill that we used to stop in going home after school - MTL High

  • @contactviolet ....naw it was Fairmount...drove by last year but couldn't look because of the traffic. Out in Baie D'Urfe now...used to hang at de Bullion and Roy....close to you.

  • @Tinhamper wow I lived on Roy and Laval and had friends living on the corner of Laval and Napoleon and on City Hall in between Roy and Napoleon. We would often hang out in the parking lot of the school yard between city hall and de Bullion & Roy. We probably used to have some friends in common. What years? I lived in that area from 61 to about 85. the 60's were the years I would hang out there.. Live in Ottawa now everyone is dispersed

  • fantastic

  • a fine memory

  • @8733hans For a while...

  • @lenahjonsson ...for EVER

  • Thank you for the video and this lovely song, I love Leonard

  • Leonard Cohen is the definition of a poet's heart

  • My mother loves this song, she loves Leonard Cohen

  • la dolcezza.

  • Had this on vinyl years ago; a requiem for my lost youth and lost wife.

  • Thanks so much for posting! It's been years since I've last heard that beautiful song.

  • Leonard Cohen is TEN THOUSAND TIMES better than Juno. That song from Juno sounds like LC

  • At 3:10 I thought it was Al Pacino

  • are similar, but is Cohen :)

  • hahaha...i love them both. i've just discovered that my favourite men all look a bit similar. take Dustin Hoffman, L. Cohen and Al Pacino for instance :)

  • @Maarjakal It's those big noses...and you know what that means :D

  • I said the same thing on another LC montage, one of the pics he really does look like Pacino. Hansome man, Cohen, always had a crush on him :-)

  • @sirolo1 the three of them, leonard cohen, al pacino and bob dylan look very much alike

  • Comment removed

  • Excellent j'ai découvert Léonard Cohen depuis peu par un ami. Et malgré que je suis plus jeunes. Quel plaisir, quel détente et quel poésie....

    ça sonne bon à nos oreilles, je peux comprendre chaques paroles, ça nous promène. Quel que soit le temps ou le moment . hhha des fois on regrette des époques ou l'on aurais pu avec plaisir acompagner nos parents à ce genre de concert. Mes hommages Mr Léonard Cohen et merci de bercer encore nos âmes

    Un petit Ange

  • Yes, Teddy Thompson does the song perfect respect and heart-felt feeling. I am sure LC would agree.

  • LC is my idea of a poet. love him!

  • This is remeniscent of the "sad" songs done by John Prine and others of his ilk. It's done with toungue firmly planted in cheek. LOVE IT!!!!!!!

  • LOL..........another example of Leonard's wit. This must have been from his "Nashville" period. I just want to shout out "YEE HAW!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • "if I've got to remember that's a fine memory", used to sing this to my girlfriend over the phone. I went and bought a Jews harp too, sounded just like this.

  • never was known for bein a vocalist..when he won the Juno for The Future he said "Only in Canada could I win best vocalist"..helluva writer though

  • i rarely like covers better than the original, but the teddy thompson live version capture the emotion of the lyrics perfectly.

  • yes, thank you thousand times....

  • thanks so much for sharing this!!!

  • ^_^
