Enjoy the song and relax. Please.

PS. All that needs to be done (on this specific video) is to have whoever is managing @TheCivilWars YouTube account go into the Annotations and edit in the Tags or Info sections, like next to where it says that Allister Ann shot & edited the video, that Leonard Cohen wrote the music and lyrics...
Again, imho, all videos where one musician COVERS the songs or music of another artist, it behooves them to be responsible and state that information somewhere on the particular video...
-
It may be an oversight by their techies but that still doesn't make it OK, imho..
I know about "original" video of this, but point is about THIS particular video.
Many folks will not see that 'original' video and may get the misperception, since Joy and JP wrote almost all the songs they perform, that this is also an 'original' of theirs - and it's not...
Btw, I gifted them the 24K gold CD of Jennifer Warnes singing Lenny Cohen's song, b/c I know how much they love his music...

@lauriroset they're not being disingenuous. if you click on the 'original' performance video of this same song from 3 years ago (it's a black & white production), they clearly state it being a Cohen song.
-
No matter how many times and how many damned Civil Wars video, it still looks like Johnny Depp. Every time.
-
I'll be honest, I'd heard of The Civil Wars only in passing and though they were "just" country. I have been disabused of this misconception.
I'll be honest again, if they did an entire album of Leonard Cohen covers I could probably die happy.
-
they are my new musical obsession. pure talent without any synth crap. why am i still forced to listen britney spears instead of the civil wars!!??
This video. It's like my ears and eyes were all having sex with each other, and then from 2:15 to 2:40 that was my brain exploding from the force of musical ORGASM. Brilliant! Love Leonard Cohen, and this is done SO BEAUTIFULLY.

Because Leonard Cohen wrote this song, I hope you would add his name somewhere in the credits of this video -
At least in the Tags, if not in the subtitle or Information section, or even in a Subtitle.
Frankly, it's disingenuous, imho, to not list the authors of all your songs on YT videos, if indeed the songs are written by someone else than Joy or John Paul...
Loved seeing y'all at The Fillmore in SF, but this is important info to acknowledge-- again, imho...
Just sayin'...
