Leonard said, "there's a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in..." Antony is a very broken vessel and it is through those cracks we see his light. I can't imagine how much pain you have to have had to have written this song and then to have so completely understood it to perfectly sing it. If this is the passion God inspires through suffering, it is indeed necessary for the human condition to suffer for such beauty. Rest in God Leonard and God Bless Antony in all his little pieces.

So...I guess I saw this ten years ago, when I watched the doc, as I've been a fan of Cohen's since forever. I must admit: as soon as I saw him walk out on stage, I judged this man: how he was dressed, his dyed hair, the fact that he was chubby; I thought they must have pulled this guy out of a subway station or something, and that this was all going to go horribly awry; that someone had made a mistake. Then he started to sing. I was so moved by his interpretation of this song, and, upon seeing it, realized how easily I judge people by their appearance. Thank you, Antony. You changed a guy who thought he was always respectful, and always open to another's lifestyle, but is just as prone as the most cold-hearted, cynical bigot to schematize and judge another. Such a great performance, such a great voice, such a great talent, and they come from all over. It takes all kinds; that's what it takes.

John Korsmo I didn't have the exact same thought that you did, because I heard his (at the time she was known as Antony and used male pronouns) voice before I saw any pictures, but when I finally did see pictures I thought someone was playing around with me. How sadly was I mistaken. I have been just in love ever since. I would love to see her live. That has to be an amazing show.

John Korsmo I saw this clip in a trailer for the movie and having this stuck in my head was why i ordered it on Amazon and became an LC fan, but I've noticed, as I've shared this version, that if I ask people to listen, but not watch, they usually dig it, but if they watch then they tend to have a hard time with it ... I started doing this after the first time i watched it with a girlfriend and she didn't like it at all, and i thought it had to be the visuals, because it's an amazing rendition ... we eventually broke up, but that's because she turned into a raging alcoholic

I don't think it's a case of being awkward, I think it's being lost in the music and the feelings. Perhaps at times he catches himself and feels a little self-conscious but of course this is before he became a she and was perhaps feeling awkward in their skin anyhow. What ever it is the result is awesome! I think it only adds to the performance to see how much Anthony was feeling the music. I agree music should not be about how the performer moves to their creations. Music is about the sound, the feels not the sight! All the best performers get lost in their music somehow. Janis Joplin, Joe Cocker, Etta James. And the Portishead concerts my god her vulnerable and humble nature really, really works! Self inflated performers who only care about their dance look will only give that off on stage Fun to watch a stage performance too though.

How lucky were to see Mr Leonard Cohen in Australia many years ago. Our little girl was only 4 and had, for some reason fallen in love with Mr Cohens song “Everybody Knows”... took her to the concert ...she had her dad write a letter to Mr. Cohen...I may be your youngest fan. And drew a flower garden for you. He was such a gracious man, bent down and received it from her little hands. Needless to say she was ecstatic and the crowd was on their feet. That was our girl...never a fear. And for Leonard Cohen to have accepted it had me crying for days. I wonder what ever happened to that beautiful letter from a 4 year old. An amazing man.... An amazing songwriter.. And author. So glad the Wainwright’s brought some of his music for us to enjoy in another generation. “I’m Your Man”.. Classic DVD...

This song, with Leonard's beautiful words and Anohni's ethereal voice, is my favorite prayer. It is the only thing that calms me and gives me hope when I am in anguish about all the suffering in the world. I find her voice so healing to my spirit. "Let your mercy spill on all these burning hearts in hell." Wow, Leonard! I sing this song (in my head, you wouldn't want me to sing out loud!) to those who are suffering whenever I hear of another new tragedy, hoping that its healing power goes out like a balm to the world.

Leonard said, "there's a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in..." Antony is a very broken vessel and it is through those cracks we see his light. I can't imagine how much pain you have to have had to have written this song and then to have so completely understood it to perfectly sing it. If this is the passion God inspires through suffering, it is indeed necessary for the human condition to suffer for such beauty. Rest in God Leonard and God Bless Antony in all his little pieces.

So...I guess I saw this ten years ago, when I watched the doc, as I've been a fan of Cohen's since forever. I must admit: as soon as I saw him walk out on stage, I judged this man: how he was dressed, his dyed hair, the fact that he was chubby; I thought they must have pulled this guy out of a subway station or something, and that this was all going to go horribly awry; that someone had made a mistake. Then he started to sing. I was so moved by his interpretation of this song, and, upon seeing it, realized how easily I judge people by their appearance. Thank you, Antony. You changed a guy who thought he was always respectful, and always open to another's lifestyle, but is just as prone as the most cold-hearted, cynical bigot to schematize and judge another. Such a great performance, such a great voice, such a great talent, and they come from all over. It takes all kinds; that's what it takes.

I started doing this after the first time i watched it with a girlfriend and she didn't like it at all, and i thought it had to be the visuals, because it's an amazing rendition ... we eventually broke up, but that's because she turned into a raging alcoholic

I don't think it's a case of being awkward, I think it's being lost in the music and the feelings. Perhaps at times he catches himself and feels a little self-conscious but of course this is before he became a she and was perhaps feeling awkward in their skin anyhow. What ever it is the result is awesome! I think it only adds to the performance to see how much Anthony was feeling the music. I agree music should not be about how the performer moves to their creations. Music is about the sound, the feels not the sight! All the best performers get lost in their music somehow. Janis Joplin, Joe Cocker, Etta James. And the Portishead concerts my god her vulnerable and humble nature really, really works! Self inflated performers who only care about their dance look will only give that off on stage Fun to watch a stage performance too though.

How lucky were to see Mr Leonard Cohen in Australia many years ago. Our little girl was only 4 and had, for some reason fallen in love with Mr Cohens song “Everybody Knows”... took her to the concert ...she had her dad write a letter to Mr. Cohen...I may be your youngest fan. And drew a flower garden for you. He was such a gracious man, bent down and received it from her little hands. Needless to say she was ecstatic and the crowd was on their feet. That was our girl...never a fear. And for Leonard Cohen to have accepted it had me crying for days. I wonder what ever happened to that beautiful letter from a 4 year old. An amazing man.... An amazing songwriter.. And author. So glad the Wainwright’s brought some of his music for us to enjoy in another generation. “I’m Your Man”.. Classic DVD...

This song, with Leonard's beautiful words and Anohni's ethereal voice, is my favorite prayer. It is the only thing that calms me and gives me hope when I am in anguish about all the suffering in the world. I find her voice so healing to my spirit. "Let your mercy spill on all these burning hearts in hell." Wow, Leonard! I sing this song (in my head, you wouldn't want me to sing out loud!) to those who are suffering whenever I hear of another new tragedy, hoping that its healing power goes out like a balm to the world.

I hope that the sun is shining for you now.
There is so much power and beauty in his voice, in this song, it brings me to tears. His body just doesn't seem like it can hold such an amazing amount of power... Thank you Antony for sharing your gift, your passion and the beauty of your soul, your song with us...
I’d be a much poorer person had I not heard Leonard’s introduction followed by Antony’s most beautiful, mystical rendition of Leonard’s “If It Be Your Will”. I was simply mesmerized. What a wonderful performance. The 2009 tour was my initial introduction to Leonard, Antony & The sublime Sisters. I was hooked, instantly. My life is enriched, forever.
Absolutely bloody sublime.
I cried so hard it broke my heart. I love them both, Antony and Leonard and this mix made my unbelievably sad and happy in the same time. Thank you.
His uncapped passion leaves me in awe... Never do you see this type of passion in, even the most seasoned of artists - Anthony is one of the most captivating people to watch, hearing him is another thing - mind blowing (
Love Antony, such a beautiful voice x
Can't remember anyone putting more heart,soul,and true emotion into a performance with lyrics that only leonard could compose. If it wasn't for elvis I believe mr cohen could of been dubbed the KING
So moving, so tender, so fragile ...the most beautiful morsel of love in years...inspiring!!
The best interpretation ever of this song
My favourite cover of Cohen's song....unmatched interpretation, the emotion is gripping
God I love this, bravo and then some on and on and on.
Unbelievable voice. Only just discovered. I’ve missed out but will catch up with Antonys music. I’ve loved Cohen for 40 years.
I'm always coming back to listen and listen It again and again !!! Thanks Anohni!!!
Antony so authentic, love his interpretation of this magnificent song...
i'm a long time LC fan, but Anthony gives an extra dimension to the lyrics.
Divine!
everytime i hear this song i can not hold back tears...
Beautiful soul, your music has touched my heart.
OMG I am speechless.How beautiful

Leonard Cohen will be my idol forever... Anybody listening in pandemy of 2020?
Touched my heart
PERFECT rendition! Leonard would be proud!
I have been a fan of Anhoni for a long time. With Cohen songs I always want to hear Cohen sing but over the years there have been one or two exceptions and this is simply the best Cohen cover ever. Never fail to get something in my eye while listening to her!
Anohni has a once in a life time voice. So glad I get to hear it!
Antony came into my life with this performance. And now, Anohni, has continued to inspire and challenge my imagination. Her artistry astounds me. What an important voice in our world.
So beautiful....I really love his voice 😍
Cohen's song is even more beautiful by Antony...what a voice!
It's a rare thing to see a performer get so caught up 'in the moment' during a performance. It's almost like he's unaware of the audience or anyone else present as he soars and riffs away. Beautiful song performed by a wonderfully gifted artist. Thanks for sharing.

I think he's just letting love and divinity lift flow through him and being caught up in it. A good thing for us to get caught up in too
In tribute from Australia Antony honored Leo Cohen so beautifully. Can't keep from crying here ..

Intensely, Captivating beyond the longest stare! He is amazingly Awesome ! #1❤
A transcendent experience. Thank you Antony.
Leggere così tanti commenti di Amore e gratitudine verso questa Anima,meravigliosa,mi riconcilia con l ' umano. Grazie Antony. ❤️❤️

If Nina Simone, Robert Smith, and Tiny Tim were mashed together in a laboratory, the result would come out sounding like Antony. Love it.

Anohni is just amazing. I've loved her music for well over a decade now and seen her live three times, but every time i hear her it's like the first time, as a gut punch of pure emotion. Her voice is really out of this world.
I honestly cannot think of a better singer and with so much emotion packed into his vocals. And he seems so humble. Good for you Anthony.

Beautiful. When I first heard Antony sing this song, my eyes burned.
Wow, ,, this is one of those songs that you don't want to end! Thank you Antony.
Never heard this song before last week and just can’t get enough of it. What a beautiful and powerful song and amazing vocals. Where has it been and what else is unheard that impacts like this?
