Anthem - Leonard Cohen

I uploaded the blooper reel for this video a while ago, and here is the video after its debut at the TRHS Filmapalooza. Dylan and I wrote essays on Leonard Cohen and somehow this spawned out of discussing his music and his poetry. We put a lot of effort into it, and it's a little abstract, but it's great. If you don't get it - ask, or research Leonard Cohen. Read the song for yourself maybe?

This deserves a better video, but thanks for posting. Leonard Cohen thinks that this is one of his three best songs and it is a true classic. It is certainly a song that brings you as close to his heart as any can.

[CaityDavid]

We tried the best we could, with the time restraints and the equipment we had. When we posted this, there wasn't a single other video of this song on here.

[Eagleray99]

I didn't say it was a bad video (it's better than I could do!) but this is a VERY good song, so I hope you are not offended my friend.

[CaityDavid]

Not offended at all. But hey, if someone else wants to do better, I'd completely support them. It's not that we're competing, it's that we're all part of the music we listen to together. Even looking back I would make some changes myself, but unfortunately I don't have a camera anymore.

@CaityDavid You were a lot nobler in your response to Eagleray than I would be. I'd have told him to go get stuffed. You made a fan video of a song you love. It's your expression, your idea of what the song means to you. It's not like you were submitting it as the official video for the song. Eagleray, what have you done? Shut up.

[CaityDavid]

@MckyMseNTarotCrds Thank you. I stopped making videos because I lost my camera, not because of any criticism.

CaityDavid, you did very well. The video speaks for itself, those who don`t understand won`t, no matter how much you explain.. Keep on doing videos, please, alright?

[BledaRassmar]

Wow what a great video. The part at the beginning with the road was my favorite. My heart sort of breaks for deaf people when I hear this song because I wish no one was missing out on Anthem. It is just too wonderful.

'while the killers in high places say their prayers out loud' - Leonard Cohen nails the powerful again.I like the mundaness of this un Video juxtaposed to Cohen's powerful song.'There's A crack in everything That's how the light gets in.'Pure unadulterated genius.
