Yes, another fine interpretation that I would place behind kd's and before Rufus's.

Not only are the lyrics beautiful, I love how you describe the song as a "WHOLE CRY FROM THE WHOLE HUMAN HEART". BEAUTIFUL!!!

That verse is the best-- it is what makes the song so powerful, such a summing up of human life-- even more than "it's a cold and it's a broken halleluia"--- it is that "I'll stand before the Lord of Song, with nothing on my tongue but halleluia" which makes it a prayer, an anthem, a whole cry from the whole human heart. It is good that he recited that verse for the audience for this award. God bless you Leonard!

wow! Speechless!
Leonard Cohen should have been in the "song writers' hall of fame" before most people involved in his video were born. It's fine to be honoured, but they left it a bit late didn't they?
