Correct...The original video had that same verse. But the record company(Sony) made us shorten the song because it was over the 5minute mark.....and they "thought" that people won't want to watch a 5minute film.
The video is intriguing... after all, the song is about his feelings and thoughts, so the visualization can be extremely surreal! Still, I prefer to listen to him with my eyes closed...
I've heard it a million times and it still holds a strong grip on my soul and senses. This is nostalgia in its most potent and life chanting form. It's for having lived, seen, felt, hurt, stand up again, love and love again, brilliantly poetic and melodic.
un decor lipsit de pretentii,o imagine alb-negru o femeie frumoasa cu parul lung,un pendul clasic,o colivie cu usita deschisa....restul,doar muzica si vocea lui.
You have much to be excited about. I saw him for the first time earlier this year and again a couple of nights ago and he is just totally amazing. Words won't do justice. Well worth the 20 year wait! Enjoy.
what is the name of the song he sang in one of the Shrek films? it was his version of a well know song and it was a brilliant version, i need to hear it1
amazing song. not that good a video, though....

In the Live from London version of this sone that I have on dvd it has another verse ? " I open the paper, makes me want to cry.
Nobody cares if the people, live or die. And the dealer wants you thinking,
it's only black or white. Thank god it'd not that simple,
In my secret life."

lose the eggs and potate heads then it would be sensible
the video is distracting from a absolutely beautiful song and my lovely Leonard Cohen
he doesn't need arty farty nonsense to promote his songs

When Leonard hires you to direct his next video then you can leave out what ever you want.

Does Field Commander Cohen really lie and
cheat to get by? He does what he has to do
to get by...he dies for the truth...finally
got his orders marching through the morning, marching through the night...in his secret
life.
