After many years loving this song I think the reason it resonates so greatly resides in the fact that this song clearly represents something significant among his many great tracks: musically, lyrically and even spiritually it seems to represent a reflective "farewell to the troops" so to speak... sadly, given his body of work and personal struggles, I believe it speaks to this great writer's isolation and sorrow in a way that is far too poignant. Thanks Leonard.
I am a Falun Gong practitioner. Falun Dafa is a cultivation system in the Buddha School based on the principles of the Universe: 真 Truthfulness 善 Compassion 忍 Forbearance.
Since 1999 it has been brutally persecuted by the CCP in China. People are being killed, tortured, put into concentration camps and have organs harvested from live people, simply because of their belief. More than 3400 Falun Gong practitioners have died at the hands of CCP in the past 12 years.

You have 117 songs ahead, and many books of poetry...his recitations are also gloroious...the voice that has us all enthralled...Facebook has many pages dedicated to him...seek us out!...Chris Clark
@damthatriver09 Did I mention anything about depressing people ? Don't think so. I was speaking about the way folk react when I tell them I like Leonards music.
Another favourite....but I love them all!...May Leonard live for ever...he is still creating beautiful new songs, and his performances are just fabulous, better than ever, if that is possible.
And I wish you all the joy it has brought me for almost 35 years, LC is my all-time favorite solo male artist, poet, and human being. Oh Leonard, if only we could have you forever!
cover song? didn't LC write this? He so rarely does covers, The Partisan being one of them. Or do you mean that you cover it? If so I'd like to hear your rendition. I do a few of LC's songs myself, I love every single thing he's ever done.
I want to do this because I'm scared. PLEASE DON'T READ THIS you will die in seven days if you don't post this comment on 10 videos in the next hour. if you do, tomorrow will be the best day of your life

I don't know why Leonards music gets filed under *depressing* This is one of the most uplifting songs I have ever heard. Thanks Radalia. : )

First line - "I stumbled out of bed, I got ready for the struggle"
He's my favourite of all time, and some it is tongue in cheek.... but I can sure as hell understand why the music gets filed under "depressing".

@aclcox Maybe because he was "manic-depressive"--(bi-polar) ?

@johnmckinlay67 Depressing people don't know when they are depressed. That's why they seek help in the psychiatry.

Na, I was talking about The Pixies covering this song. Cohen is my all time fav, pixies second...so when they covered him, it was awesome for me. :P

I listen to tons of hair metal, and hard rock but for some reason, I love this guy's stuff.
This version sounds better than the version off my CD; is this a remastered version?
