Ah Leonard Cohen! What a Master in all he does, this one definitely not excluded.
I recall as a teen listening to him when he was not *cool* to listen to, if only they knew huh :-)

Highest accolades to Leonard Cohen and all that he does and has done for music.

To me Who By Fire can integrate with many factions of life. From life in the living to many things theologically.

My understanding is that this song is actually about a Judaic High Holiday and how we are judged for what we do, good or bad.
Now is this true; I do not know, one would be asking the wrong person as I am Pagan by faith.

Perhaps you know, please apprise me if you do OK?

So I bring you Mr. Leonard Cohen with a Pagan Flair portrayed via the images through the mental image Leonard presents vocally.

May they mesh well and paint a pleasant portrait for you hoping together you find them complementing one another so please settle in and take a moment to reflect and enjoy.

Brightest Blessings,
Mistress Reba

Leonard Cohen - Who By Fire Lyrics

And who by fire, who by water,
who in the sunshine, who in the night time,
who by high ordeal, who by common trial,
who in your merry merry month of may,
who by very slow decay,
and who shall I say is calling?
And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate,
who in these realms of love, who by something blunt,
and who by avalanche, who by powder,
who for his greed, who for his hunger,
and who shall I say is calling?

And who by brave/great/high assent, who by accident,
who in solitude, who in this mirror,
who by his lady's command, who by his own hand, who in mortal chains, who in power,
and who shall I say is calling?

mistressreba, you i must say are talented for putting this slideshow together but the obama thing is kind of racist.

[MistressReba]

I don't get the racist thing, this vid was so hard to put together timing & images meshing.

I Voted Obama, 1st time in my life I Voted Democrat. Also my grand baby is half black, so the racist thing confuses me?

Obama was put in for as GREAT ASCENT and was doubled in time to stay there.

ASCENT

1. the act of ascending, rising, or climbing 2. an advancement, as in rank, fame, etc. 3. the act of climbing something; "it was a difficult climb to the top" a way leading up; upward slope

THX

[MistressReba]

Please come explain the racist part, as I really do not get it. I am NOT a racist, by far to the contrary.

Also I added some annotations to this Video where Barack Obama's Photos is. OBAMA 08 Oh how Happy I am that I have seen it in my lifetime :)

[zeit23geist]

So much ink has been spilt trying to explain Magick; but really only images and music and a few well chosen words (poetry) can ever express what is essentially unexpressable: like fetish, suffering, God, sexual pleasure, love, the sunrise - and the fact that all these can be said in one breath!

[MistressReba]

This comment I just now saw from you is not only true and profound,it is prose Z, how about reciting it :-)

[zeit23geist]

simply awesome; five stars from me; really, really good!

[MistressReba]

Thank you zeitgeist! So glad you appreciated it, I tell you this one was hard to *time* but all worth the best effort I could put forth.

Hope you are well and so nice that you stopped by, watched, and commented. As always your friend across THE BIG POND ;) Mistress Reba~

@silentblade121, Racist ? Here the USA has as a first octaroon president of the corporation + MistressReba clearly stated that she herself was accordingly deluded

- how then reading are you reading racisticality into Mr. Cohen's fine stuff about the inevitable?

[Megan0ann]

You mentioned in the info wanting to know about the basis of this song - it's based on Unetanneh Tokef, a Jewish piyyut or liturgical poem. It's part of the liturgy for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

[michaelmouse1]

'silentblade' that is such a bizarre take on reba's beautiful video- in no way could her inclusion of Obama be seen as anything less than supportive and celebratory. It's interesting how people's personal perspectives can put a slant on things. I hope her explanation demonstrates to you her good intentions and perhaps you owe her an apology!

peace.

[waseemqn]

i dont care for any thing just that leonard is the ever best and this song is for ever the best that he have done

[zeit23geist]

This will be done.
