Leonard Cohen on 'There is a War', with live footage (1979)

I was born in the wrong year... I lost all of the good concerts...

i agree, too bad this wasn't included. this is from a documentary? i saw him in brighton, uk, in december of 1979. it was amazing.

I love this song. I had always felt it was about those who are in misery and conflict and how they seek comfort from additional participation in this 'war'. In other words: "I'm miserable, so you must be too!".

@dannyhowell yes maybe. it reminds me of something alot different, it reminds me of times with my ex partner and how i used to be, and how i am now. the conflict and misery too
