  • much more music was my shit when I lived up in Canada! do they still have that channel up there?

  • L.C. is the best!

  • He's certainly a genius.

  • Leonard Cohen is the shit. He's on a whole nuther level, the dude moves me.

  • @ivasetenebriga

    no Iva, video is appropriate for song, shows transparency and humbleness of a man and woman, normal life without high - dirty life aim ...

  • nic tylko się wieszać, tak ponure, że aż ... piękne

  • mister cohen is genius, always was and always will be. a wonderful showman too :)

    thank you for sharing this vid.

  • The response to the letters on the image was not correct, please try again.

    fucking you tube

  • video sucks but his voice is soooo sensuaaal

  • songs great... voice is sexy.... video sucks

  • Realy great song of king : L.Cohen

    Cohen is the best singer

  • Even the most bizarre videos are acceptable when your songs are so genius

  • Always confuse his voice with Robbie Robertson's. Both fantastic!

  • The Costume Designer Must have

    been on Crack ...

    lol

  • Beautifull...I love this song..I love this song

  • feels like iam having sex with my lover..

  • One of those songs that just make you want to reach for someone and caress him/her.

    This one is for making love. not sex, but making love.

  • I know what you mean ...

  • I dont. It's all the same. Bitches they come they go. That's just the way it is.

  • lol well said lange

  • Your mileage may vary.

  • jag älskar den här låten. tack leonard för den vackra musiken geonm tiderna! <Anna

  • Comment removed

  • Trag.

  • SPLENDIDA..... GRANDE COHEN

  • i love this song ....a great singer leonard cohen

  • amaizing

  • i love this song.. its my life haha soooo many secrets...no body knows the whole me...this song is great to help you deal with the fragmentation of a persons life....does anybody really know themselves fully???????

  • definitely, enroserie, genius, incredible

  • I don't particularly like his voice (it's certainly not out of tune or anything, I just don't like it) but this man is an absolute genius, his lyrics are incredible.

  • najbolja po meni

  • "and i'd die for the truth..."

  • Stvarno jako,jako lijepa pijesma!!!!!

  • najbolja

  • What´s the car Leonard enters in the video? I would like to have the same.

  • This is a Citroen DS , affectionately called Deesse which is french for Goddess.

  • this is the PERFECT song. Staying with your girl and listening to this > everything in this world. gives you the power to overcome any problem.I hope others feel the same :)

  • Leonard Cohen is the greatest poet of the last 100 years. The only difference is rather then have his poems published, he puts them to music.

  • well...... this is just one of the best songs right now :)

  • wonderfulllllllllllll

  • but I'm always alone

    and my heart is like ice

    and it's crowded and cold

    in my secret life

  • That was aimed at hoboneedsjob09 btw

  • prelepo

  • 4 ever Leonard Cohen!

    He's the best(L)

  • just perfect!!!

  • great song

  • Ligaaa Co tu pisac:)

  • he cuts my heart open with that deep voice. vulnerable i will be

  • cudowna piosenka :)

  • Well, your lack of taste is incredible, then.

  • It's all a matter of taste...when he's good, he's very very good. One of us cannot be wrong, to coin a phrase.

  • I would disagree. He sings very well but some of his songs are written poorly. If you think this song is off key or out of tune you need to get YOUR ears checked.

  • it's all in someone's preference. why ridicule that?

  • so sd hobo

  • masterpiece

  • Check out Eric Burdon's version. It's sung...

  • Prawdziwe emocje...

  • yes this is brilliant !

    He writes amazing lyrics..

    Thank 'YOU' x

  • dette er så meg,sjenert vøttø

  • nice...peace...m_________

  • wow, i didn't even say that comment. someone is commenting on my behalf.

  • great! no one can come close to him he is the greatest

  • The greatest songwriter of all time. Bob Dylan has nothing on Leonard. Fell short on the Dear Heather album, but hey everyone gets to make mistakes here and there. I wager he will be back to Ten New Songs form on his next album.

  • :).........................

  • what a porn voice! I love it!

  • Check out Eric Burdon's version "My Secret Life"

  • i really like cohen - a great poet for the time. i really don't think this film maker understands his work, though. this song is about addiction and yearning. the filmmaker sets in some space age zone. i think cohen would have been better served if the video was set in real life, with lurid color and real event, because that's what the song is about.

  • Do you understand metaphor? I think what you feeled in the music is correct but what you see in the clip you do not understand. They're both about the precise same thing they almost have a synestetical bond. Rarely have I ever seen such a great match between text/music and clip... brilliant work a-z

  • i do understand metaphor - i teach it. i think the lyrics are real and profound and are not served by the film which is adolescent and pretentious. i can't think of a worse match - sorry disagree.

  • "De gustibus non disputandum"... as I said to me it was more then a perfect match. I think that the clip doesn't acutally want to be a reality illustration but rather a reality projection of a mental state which ist quite well seved by abstract geometry, activity and settings,through which he is a passenger. It's a rather long debate on this subject and very profound, very un-youtube-like so I will just say, we're different people from different environments with different feelings about it.

  • agreed, thank you.

  • Those who can't ........ teach. ALISABET363.

    There is nothing pretentious here .....other than you pontificating about you teaching a class in / about metaphors......

  • you sound angry. i dunno, i had more than one teacher who was way better than some artists i know who are trying to make stuff. i'm sorry if i sounded like i was pontificating. all i meant to say is that i like the song and think the video is ass.

  • not angry ......i find comments like yours funny that's all. You criticize the director and the artist ...... it's not up to you to decide what the creative treatment is or is not. You can either like the film or not....that's it

  • I will not answer on this thread as well, I'm just saying I love leonard cohen, his Romanian performance of all the melodies besides "dance me to the end of love" were not just exception but fabulous, his rendition of halleluja is the absolute best I've ever seen/heard/heard about... and pruddyt I think you spend way too much time not liking the video, then just listen to it :D, it's just divine!

  • Leonard Cohens "version"?? He is the one who originally wrote hallelujah.

  • I did not say his version, I said his rendition... that means his interpretation on stage of that song. Halleluja is his own song lyrics and melody but I never liked the way he sang it untill I listened to it in romania :)

  • Well if you WERE the director you would be short sighted...... Leonard was involved through out the creative process.....with the director......... I guess you should have been there......Maybe you could have enlightened Leonard on the meaning of his song.

  • i love cohen and his song.cohen is first for ever

  • it's a great song, full of meaning and feeling. i love it

  • franketron,the song isn't to blame, you should just be more careful who you trust next time. good luck to you :)

  • I was 6 years old and she persecute me, she wasnt my girlfriend but my "new mother"...But im surpriesd taht youre not blaming me now that i want to destruct "this secret life".

  • it's not my right to blame or judge anyone, especially if i don't know the person. i'm sorry you have a bad experience regarding this song, because it should be calming and relaxing, not scary. and for your peace, you should try and concentrate on your future and let go of the past(easy to say, hard to do, but not impossible:).

  • just kidding. but youre pretty smart

  • this is so beautiful i wish i could blog it

  • what a song...what a voice...what a man!

  • Ze specjalną dedykacją dla asi z nysy, w ramach przeprosin za moją wczorajszą nieobecnosć;*

  • adoro questa canzone . grazie

    ely

  • What a song...

  • like you once said :'' R&R forever and ever ''... i'll allawys be your's :(

  • i don't know why but i simply adore this song, everything is right! saw him two days ago was amazing!

  • I've been hearing this non-stop for several days... I love love love it.. the lyrics, his voice, the melody... I love you, Leonard Cohen, God bless you.

  • yeh, he is good. :)

  • I bought 2 tickets for the O2 when I was married and my ex wife said he's a miserable git take someone else with you. Any pleasent female want to accompany me?

  • you don't call you valentine for nothing but he's not miserable he's the most humorous man on the planet a genius a poet a gentleman seen him recently in dublin still in a dreamlike trance amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

  • SUPERBA geniala :D

  • Prea tare melodia asta :D

    Va ramane mereu un hit :D

    8->

    :X

  • can i share this video on my yahoo360' if so tell me how; i'm not computer smart .but i love this video

  • Just cut and paste the link

  • This is the best song ever! I don't really like Cohen, but this song kills me.

    I'm listening to it for 2 days... Only this...

  • Magnificent song beautiful how much is the admission to the entry nor Leo warm both sexy. beautiful!!

  • hey i think this was filmed in montreal, the cubic house on jean drapeau:D. ilove the most when he lights his ciggaret and walks away.. reminds me of myself:D

  • I love this song. But, this surrealist video is all wrong for what I'm listening to. The egg-heads remind me of something I would see in a techno video by Moby, not Leonard Cohen.

  • This song is like a heart medicine. Love it.

  • u are absolutely right:)

  • awesome voice ....

  • acabp de leer la traduccion de la cancion y la verdad hasta me identifico en las letras.

  • la verdad nose que michigan dira la cancion pero desde que la escuche por vez primera me gusto y por la grandisima suerte aun no puedo conseguir su disco.

  • I love how he says "And its crowded and cold"

    Love it!

  • classic!!!!!!!and is something only i understand for myself.

  • I love this song:x:x ... It`s so relaxing...

  • lenny's music reminds me that life is magical, of what it is to be human. It's a special gift, and I am honoured to be able to listen.

  • very creative video,,,

  • every1 has a secret life

  • There is absolutely nothing going over this version of the song. Such an incredible voice, such an outstanding performance, so much feeling! Katie who???!!

  • Leave her alone! In 2006 she was Europe bestselling female artist. So not Katie Who, it's Katie Melua! You will hear from her.

  • well check out how many times this has been added to favorites.. then check how many has been added to katie...speak for itself..

  • Didn't I tell you before?

    She is something special and not everybody is able to recognise the rare special things on this planet, only the lucky few:-)

  • i just... luv this song

  • I love this song:)

  • This song discribes my life right now. I feel like I'm living a lie. Everything I do...my past, present, and future.

  • Keep looking towards the light.

    Let the shadows fall behind you.

    You are not alone.

  • You are right we are never alone:)

  • hey, whoever you are. I get it and thanks

    Lots more to say but all in good time

    Tom

  • Makes me sad this song..

  • great tune!

  • great tune!

  • 50 some odd years of smoking, and whisky will do that to your voice...in this case, not sadly.

  • This is the song I'd like to play at my funeral.

  • Me too...

  • This song is soap.Makes me look in the past...my sad past.

  • yeah...in my crazy secret life...

  • i've discovered this album only recently and immediately fell in love with it. my favourites at the moment are "The Land of Plenty" and "You have loved enough" though "Alexandra Leaving", "Love itself", "Boogie Street" and all others are not at all worse! Sophisticated texts, elegantly catchy melodies and intimately quiet and soft voices of Cohen and Sharon Robinson. Hypnotic!

  • Very good music!

  • This may be one of Cohn's greatest songs. His rich voice is not overcome by the lyrics even though it may well should be. It's an enviable tie. It's an autopsy on the heart and very few people could lay it so bare as Leonard Cohn. We want to rescue him from his vulnerability. Not that he would allow that or that we have any right to tread on such sacred ground. In the end, I just feel blessed that I could hear and feel this unique expression of human need so kin to my own.

  • i wish that you don't change even a little bit cause you are special because of that what you are..and i wish you all the best and good life. i wish for you to be loved..and to bread the air with a pleasure to be alive everyday..that the life'll be worthed all of trying..and cherish little things..which brings you smile..

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY E.A (zg)

  • Thank you for posting this. I love the songs on that album. Well, I suppose maybe I just love Leonard Cohen!

  • 8måneder er mer enn 7 år med fantasi så hvorfor klage,var bedre enn jeg noen gang drømte om,men fåkk har blitt hekta,faen jeg har blitt svak

  • Wonderful video..Leonard is great!!!!

    thank you, joanie

  • I saw you this morning.

    You were moving so fast.

    Can�t seem to loosen my grip

    On the past.

    And I miss you so much.

    There�s no one in sight.

    And we�re still making love

    In My Secret Life. :X:X:X:X:X great song

  • a great artist

  • In my secret life...

  • the song is deep, the voice is crude and shockingly beautiful, and ummmm I REALLY like the video, such an out of the trivial concept... :)

  • Very good song. Makes you realize that you are not the only one with a "secret life"! Love it

  • Leonard is a true poet- a rare find in the pop genre. Dark, macabre, and apocalyptic, Cohen forces you to rethink your relationship to the world. "I saw there were no oceans left for scavengers like me." What a line, and there are so many more throughout his illustrious body of work. Cohen reminds us that we are truly beautiful when we leave our egos out on the hanger and look within. This youtube, myspace reality is truly a sad cultural development. the internet should die.

  • leonard is a true poet- a rare thing in the pop genre. "I saw there were no oceans left for scavengers like me." What a line, and there are so many more throughout his amazing body of work. Dark, bleak, apocalyptic. Leonard shows us how special we are as well as how tragically arrogant and vane we can be. We only find our true beauty when we sacrifice our ego.

  • the clip is kind of strange but the voice, the lyrics... ufff, gets straight to your heart...I miss my secret life so much...

  • i like the song and his voice

  • The music is great. Something I want to listen to. But the video is awful. What...potato heads? What...kissing...huh? Think a bit! When you get a good tune, mix it with reality! I.e. C.I.A./K.G.B. stuff/Big crime scenes etc would look better. I think.

  • wow...you should be the director:)

  • dedicatie pt denisa :))

  • Loenard Cohen is the best man in the WORLD!!!!

  • a beutiful song - my favorite for a long time - but this video is missing a big part:

    Looked through the paper.

    Makes you want to cry.

    Nobody cares if the people

    Live or die.

    And the dealer wants you thinking

    That it's either black or white.

    Thank G-d it's not that simple

    In My Secret Life.

  • Magic!!!!! and we're still making love in my

    secret life.....

    joanie

  • Ja osobiście slucham Drum n Bass ale w aucie katuje ten utwów. Respect Leo.

  • Męski głos też może być ciekawy.

    Male voice can be interesting too.

  • my favorite song.

  • This one is so good! I love you Leonard! joanie

  • piękny głos, jakby kojącego ojca;)

  • Beautiful.

  • gorgeous

  • What a wonderful voice!

  • this song is definitelly a masterpiece!!! i love this song sooo much!!!!

  • ...ti ho visto stamattina, andavi così veloce..e mi manchi così tanto...e facciamo ancora l'amore, nella mia vita segreta...

  • awsome song !

  • Touching my heart!

    Great sound, wonderful lyrics.

    The old generation knew good music!
