Based on the Yom Kippur prayer.

  • A vast amount of Leonard`s sogs reflect and derive from his Judaism. He has a sound knowledge of The Old Testament. A prayer said on the Day of Atonement - Yom Kippur - asks God to save us from peril in the year to come anspeaks of those who will perish ' by fire' and ' who by water' As he reaches his end years, Leonard returns to his Judaism. He is a Cohen, a priest amongst his people in the Synagogue.

  • Now I am curious about the Yom Kippur prayer. Please say something about this, okay? I LOVE Leonard Cohen. Thank you.

  • j adore!!!

  • the beat is amazing

  • I had no idea this was a prayer! Amazing - I love this.

  • @kabewest In the last book of the bible writen by John, the angel calls the dead from the water and the fire, etc. So it is a comom thing between christianity and judaism.

    I agree Cohen can't deny himself.

  • Didn't he fight in the 67 war too ? Love the song, never knew it was based on a prayer.
