[Mork611]

@54edgey

Know what you mean, I think lol

[polmaccaba01]

I wish that i could tell my lover that she is mine, but alas we cant have everything we want in life, but we will always have Leonard, you are an ageless wonder my friend. I live my life knowing i have my true love within my grasp but i cant do anything. That pain resonates throughout your music/songs.

[teamcrumb]

@polmaccaba01 why can't you do anything? why is your true love beyond you?



[PrivateSchemers1]

That "forever" in "they will lean that way forever" is just heartbreaking.

[JRG2733]

Poetic genius. What a mind for images.

[VxGIBSONxV]

Just discovered Leonard yesterday, thank god I did...but why did it have to take this long...beautiful.

[golupchee]

Is it me or does he look like Michael Corleone ?

[3rk4u]

he reminds me of dustin hoffman in the graduate on this pic,gr8 trak thanx 4 posting

[Samjeno]

@3rk4u Absolutely .

[micahj]

@3rk4u

I think he looks EXACTLY like Adam Sandler haha

[kamalazraai2011]

he looks like adam sandler 

[jhgf280]

@kamalazraai2011 I was thinking more Al Pacino in "The Godfather"

[kamalazraai2011]

@jhgf280 I agree with you on that

[MrSuperheli]

Und wer es nicht mag.....

Mir tut es leid für Euch...

Weil....alle können unter seine Decke schlüpfen, jede Nacht, jeden Traum...

Ich mag ihn....Beide

[MrSuperheli]

Und dann glaub ich noch...

Leute....Nichts eilt jemals voraus...lassen wir uns Zeit..

Einfach weg, einach .... weg...

Himmel, Herr und Jesus....

Ich glaub dran.....wunderschön....

[MrSuperheli]

Was für ein Poet.......

[Brandxisor]

If I'm listening to this song as I die, it'll be with a smile on my face.

[meltdownman]

LC is a poet, Most of his music is trying but the best of it is superb.

Anyone remember "Beautiful Losers" ?

[TheCowboyJesus]

Oh god, it makes me melt.

[taolig66]

Leonard Cohen "Suzanne" - I have no clue as to what this song is about, but I think I haved lived about 53.64% of it... (In the same way and in varying degrees, the same thing can be said about Dylan's "Visions of Johanna (see below)...

[rhettbutler96]

Leonard is one of the greatest songwriters and poets in the history of the entire universe. EVER.

[mt2345t]

I think he looks alot like Adam Sandler on the picture ^^

[cedzeppelin]

he looks like bob dylan on the picture

(and he's a great poet too)

[hbears92]

THE pre-nap song.

[eryelp]

when men play "this can no longer go on"- but they cannot keep to their words... thank you Leonard for singing the truth :**

"And just when you mean to tell her

That you have no love to give her

Then she gets you on her wavelength

And she lets the river answer

That you've always been her lover"

[crunkdwyne]

this legend looked like adam sandler in his young days.

[evilthesaurus]

Sublime

[ampslater]

I first heard Suzanne over 40 years ago, and since that moment have been enthralled by Leonard Cohen. He has always been there: his voice, his rhythms, his words, his tunes all add up to something which I don't always understand but which I perceive to be a deeper truth, a shadowy meaning to life which I know is just waiting to be discovered. I have seen him several times over the years, but his concert in Glasgow November 2008 will remain one of the transcendental experiences.

[alexm3892]

@ampslater I could not say better words

[ViewparkWean]

@ampslater Annie??

[sujitphatak]

How less beautiful my life would have been if I hadn't listened to Leonard Cohen. Thanks Leonard. Love from India in 2012. May you live countless ages. May your songs bring in this world what we failed to bring. Words are not enough.

[jmj4879]

Thank you! Very beautiful song!

[sempernarc]

Great song. Bad singer. Story of Lenord Cohen

[TheDaleDenton]

@sempernarc And yet, he's slept with over a thousand women.

[Samjeno]

@TheDaleDenton Lovely Im getting there

[TheDaleDenton]

@Samjeno atta boy

[nanabexhoeft]

Whatever IT is, Leonard has it and always has. He's our Cannuck icon.

[marisolex119]

drowning men even catch him

[sluggothe1]

you want answers  about GOD

[alonsoafonso]

Is He Adam Sandler?

[koniu96]

omg, you don't see that guy on a picture is al pacino?

[walendxweg]

malgré ces petites notes agiles QUE C EST TRISTE orly le jeudi

[lyonslaforet]

@walendxweg C'est clair! Leonard Cohen a souffert de dépression tout le long de sa vie et çà s'en ressent dans ses chansons!

[alonsoafonso]

Adan Sandler....

[CannaS88]

"hey that's no way to say goodbye"

[kives1985]

This is the best Leonard Cohen song. Hallelujah has too many covers I think. : )

[rainspirit100]

@kives1985 k d lang does him proud

[GodHjort]

@kives1985 how does it make his song less good, that other people made alot of cover versions of it? :)

Shut out the cover, listen to the man! ;)

[kives1985]

@GodHjort A song is get boring if it gets repeated again and again actually. : )

[wolfcubize]

always brings a certain person to my mind..good night, my love.

[garrycollett]

[wladosu]

[Gaellou69]

Merci pour cette magnifique chanson. je l'avais apprise au collège et avais toujours voulu retrouver les paroles, alors merci encore. Cette chanson a pour moi un goût d'adolescence et je trouve cette version absolument superbe.

[mancsakacarl]

[suzannese]

LOVED IT...you can tell why :D

But I dont wear from Salvation Army Counters and I dont have a place near the river :)

[susanob]

[potdog1000]

[leverarch001]

@potdog1000 One day you'll realise how little you really know. Today all I can do is pity you.

[nimrod379]

@potdog1000 ...says the Celione Dion fan. Hilarious!

[mgoskay]

this song is a religion to me

[townhallsful]

I love and miss you Maggie, you werethe person that made me aware of LC hope you are happy

[ShortCircuit11]

some of you may not realize, but in Canadian mythology, Leonard is a god.

[snowkitten555]

@ShortCircuit11

Hallelujah ;)

[kives1985]

@ShortCircuit11

I thought you guys liked Phil Collins and Huey Lewis. He's a Canadian right? He seems Canadian.

[lmtanguay1]

@kives1985 Yes he is Canadian. From Montreal. I lived in a house wich was 150 feet from his house and I'm proud of it

[ElainaDeva]

@ShortCircuit11 in the 70's he was in the States also..especially with this one~

[SuperBIGTEL]

@ShortCircuit11 I lived in Westmount for a year and was not a fan at the time.Knew nothing of him.Months into my return home (uk) I found his music strangely enough.

I walked along the harbor, night and day, writing my own poems.

I can see why now, how he turned out like he did .... such a beautiful place.

[gottaacatchemall]

This song is so good, wow.

[mgoskay]

leonard cohen and anthony bourdain are identical to me

[sawek123]

Al Pacino ^^

[DrMickaelleDougherty]

[SteKLiverpool]

amazing always loved his music from aged 14my brother had album his songs reach ed my heart an soul. my inspiration helped me through some lowest tilmes of my life.

[LovesToSpooge77]

thumbs up if you thought the thumbnail was Adam Sandler

[JAllen591]

I head this song in a cafe once but didnt know the name and couldnt remember any lyrics just the tune stayed in my head for weeks until I couldnt take it anymoreb. I recognized the voice and this was the first song I clicked when I searched leonard cohen. coincidence? I guess It'll have to be

[marioriospinot]

Wonderful.

[potdog1000]

a good night out in the 60s, see an annimated polish film about building chasing men with no mouths followed by somepretentious avant gard french crap & we thought this was a good night out how pathetic we were

[spacedmonkey98]

@xxlimbo85xx I think he looks a bit for like Adam Sandler, maybe its just me?

[256frank]

LEONARD HAS ALWAYS INSPIRED ME TO WRITE

[xandul]

thx dude 4 all your songs!!!!!!

[DeepMercenary]

Promise only what you can deliver. Then deliver more than you promise. 

thank`s Leonard,

and thank`s for posting

[brickbuilder22]

Awesome.. it brings me down memory lane. I was serenaded by Leonard Cohen's songs by my husband 30 years ago. And his songs are still the best.

[pixiniarts]

'Sme restricts this from being played in playlists'

Ah Sony this is why we cant have nice things...

[freekwouw]

so pure and beautiful

[offalstaff]

na gyerekek,mindegy ki mit gondol,ez nagyon rendben van!

[Browncoat56]

[TheQueposfan]

It is like reality being fed to you through a hallucination. And you want to travel...

[waltinhopai]

ADORO!!!!!ADORO ESSE SOM!!!!

[2ndnickthegreek992]

@xxLimbo85xx he kind looks like a crossing of Adam Sandler, Al Pacino and Bob Dylan, if you wish for more details xD

[col1034]

what a voice, what a music!

[jkoslicki]

fuck me this brings back the good old days when i was young

[daisies53]

This has to be one of my favourite of Leonard Cohen's brilliant writing and songs! I love it!

[graciegorrell]

This song was from at least the late sixties' as I know it was one of my sister, Susan's, faves of his!

[FleaFU]

@xxLimbo85xx  ahahahhahahah it's true!!!!

[antonialiasj]

leonard eres el mejor por excelencia. no hay ni lo habrá en la historia de la música otro igual.

[SuperBIGTEL]

The great spirit of westmount.

[jcbellec]

We had eighteen years and that song by Leonard Cohen accompanied us throughout our lives, like many others of this great man

cordially from France

[01rai01]

For you've touched her perfect body with your mind

[MCprilep]

@xxLimbo85xx like Adam Sandler :)

[danksmoka10]

[arjuncoen]

@danksmoka10 since when did he sing this, I can't find it on youtube...

[MEGARANA]

[boyders16]

@xxLimbo85xx I thought that too! Not even just a little bit, that mugshot could well be from the Godfather!

[BaalZobel]

@xxLimbo85xx yes I thought that many times. funny hey :)

[ettore4964]

questa a perer mio è la canzone più bella di Leonard Cohen, non per niente supepremiata e riconosciuta a livello internazionale, aggiudicata come la canzone più bella dell'anno insieme alla canzone di Marinella del Grande Fabrizio De Andrè

[ariacurva]

Uno dei miei brani preferiti!

[PULCE2304]

Uno dei miei artisti preferiti !

[smartalek180]

This is the best prayer I've ever heard

[stifhenalternativo]

para cortarse las venas, me encanta.

[IWillSexU]

He looks like Al Paccino

[johnbarry1965]

@IWillSexU Yeah Laughing Len!!

[surfwithaliens]

i so hate when SME (whomever they are) restrict playing a video in a playlist, idk for what reasons... it make me think that the artist is a greedy person and tries to make money by any single view.. which is probably untrue, but, well, that's what it makes me think..

... and I so wanted to do things around while listening to Leonard Cohen... ok, ok, I'll buy a CD...

[FarfilicusStarship]

Holy shit, what a fucking masterpiece!

[LorentzElena32]

@FarfilicusStarship what's the use of ugly words in connection with poetry. It's this the only way to be popular?

[WaltHawtin]

I didn't Michael Corleone sang this!

Seriously, beautiful song. I grew up with the Neil Diamond version and love this song. beautifully written.

[william3231954]

I first heard this song in 1971 played from a jukebox in Boston,, when a girl named Sue and I were together living on the streets and in the parks,,

[TheCrazyhorse333]

One of the best songs, EVER!!!

[hombredistorsion]

I have now 42 years old, I have love to dead two woman called Susana, When i hear this song my heart broken in three, ten twelve.........Thanks for ever Leonard

[9615Chiefs]

I always wondered what this beautiful song was about.

[buuthang]

I happen to know that Suzanne does exist. Her name is Suzanne Verdal McCallister, she was a muse to many Beat poets during the early 60s. She said with Leonard Cohen, it was just a "spirit union".

[jgermanfernandez]

podrian poner la letra como en la cancion de marianne?

[libertelibre]

Vision éclairée. Perfection ou Destin.

Il a touché le corps parfait de Suzanne avec son esprit.

[russinbrisbane]

A haunting song that brings back memories of the early 70's when we were ready to be anything we wanted to be.

[llangol]

@russinbrisbane True, used to listen to his songs when I was at university,

[sukideni]

beautiful, everlasting, we can take what we wish and leave plenty for others i love you Leonard....Suzanne xxx

[addas001]

This song is so peaceful and relaxing, It makes the fine arts of life noticeable and shows the real appreciation people should be showing to life appear beautiful, I love this song.

[richiem95]

Wow he looks the exact same as dustin hoffman

[mazurchris]

@richiem95 i was thinking the same exact thing

[JackKangaroo1]

I'm just trying to imagine Al Pacino's rendition of this song. "You have touched her perfect body with your MYN...ONDDDDD!

[feltrone]

adam sadler



[zachflame123]

Looks like Al Pacino

[CherylDouglass]

Love this man. Saw him live in NEC B'ham; when we got home I got on e-bay and paid 1k for 2 tickets to see him again in MEN Manchester. WOW Leonard I love you man.
