Thanks, I was wondering what the meaning behind the song was…

Everyone should still listen...as imagine by John Lennon...... music is the last thing against all those terribles wars.. what else can we do...

who in the sunshine? I am begging you to be mine. Who by the river? Who is dying of desire's fever?

I am from Syria, 24 years ,I grew up and finished university during the war so as I grew up during bad situations I could see myself loosing the ability to feel happy , hope and every good feeling, but music especially Leonard kohen music With a few other things helped me through this dark time to find kind of inner peace and now I didn't heal or have a life change I still the same person incapable to feel but the peace pieces I collected help me to wake up and live my day

You know what is unique with Leonard Cohen? There's plenty of songs on youtube from around the world and each time you listen Leonard you can find a little rhyme that takes you to the other parts of world. These songs are not basic chords, they have a structre and a ton if you belive even you can see the colors of it. I love every inch of this man and his music. God Bless his soul. Rest in Peace meister.

I saw Leonard Cohen when he came to New Zealand in 2010. I was 15 years old, probably the youngest in the audience by decades. But I had been listening to Leonard's music for years before I saw him live. What an experience. Seeing a man in his mid-70s playing and leading the stage for hours. Laughing with the crowd as though he were a youthful 50 year old. Thank you Leonard for your music. Thank you for your grace. Thank you for being.

@@A.staris Thank you. Yes, i am fully aware that this song was inspired by the ונתנה תוקף prayer/chant. I also grew up with this prayer/chant and know it very well. The fact that this song is a commentary on this chant (and the worldview behind this chant) is very obvious and clear. However, what is usually not noted by those who have emotionally invested their indentity in a humanity-dividing, sectarian belief systems (and take any possible opportunity to distinguish themselves from the rest of humanity by using such non-sensical nationalist oxymoroms like 'the god of israel' or 'jesus calls on you to repent and come back to the christian faith' or 'muhammed is god's messanger, so repent and come back to islam', or being proud that someone mentioned a chant from their sectarian tradition), what is failed to be noted by such sectarian religious-nationalists is that he was actually NOT agreeing with this abusive fear-driven theology of god (that is promoted in the ונתנה תוקף chant) as a judgemental punishing vengeful entity (which is the common view in all sectarian exoteric religions that created god in the image of their traumatised, fearful, violent, possesive, tribalistic and unconscious psyche), and he was NOT agreeing with this reliance on fear and terrorizing as a means to acheive compliance (as is practiced by all psychologically-undeveloped exoteric religions. For example, if you'll study christian evangelism, you'll know that this ונתנה תוקף chant is IDENTICAL to their beliefs and practice of terrorizing/scaring the followers into "repentance" and compliance. It is the exact same judgemental, punishing, vengeful uncompassionate sectarian theology and set of beliefs (which are the POLAR OPPOSITE of what God actually is... even though both of these zealous sectarian mind-invented unconscious ideologies - both christian and jewish evangelism - place themselves as the gatekeeprs to God, pretend to speak for God and to represent God's will..) PS. In case you are not familiar with the distinction i made above between exoteric religions (which are the POLAR OPPOSITE of God, and that move humanity away from God and the wholistic qualities of God) and esoteric religions (which do see and understand the non-sectarian nature of God) then I'll just quickly explain that exoteric religions are highly divisive and sectarian (and place a huge amount of value on 'the uniquness of our group and "our god"). Exoteric religions contradict the wholistic universal non-sectarian REALITY of God/Consciousness/Being. Exoteric religion distort/turn on their head the original teachings of the mystics who were the original spark of all religions (distort them from a wholistic-unifying esoteric seeing of the nature of reality/God, into a sectarian humanity-dividing US-versus-Them right-wing conservative abomination and distortion of the nature of God) Exoteric religion stays on the superficial level of culturally-specific rituals and conditioning. Its ideals are completely ego-bound and mind-created, and it doesn't go beyond the level of conceptual thoughts and the emotions that such thoughts generate. Exoteric religion is a reflection of the wounded and unconscious human psyche which seeks safety and solace through beliefs, and therefore is highly reliant on judgement, punishment and the use of fear, shame and guilt to achieve compliance. Lastly, exoteric religions always dwell in the past (judgement/condemnation/shame/guilt) and future (hope/anxiety), and move their followers' attention away the eternal present moment (which is where God/reality actually is). Esoteric religions are unifying, non-sectarian and recognize the universal qualities of God/Consciousness/Being (which is non-sectarian and non-judgemental and not punishing and not cruel and not vengeful, which is unconditionally loving and is inseparable from what we are). Esoteric religions have also realized the reality beyond the concepts and images of the thinking brain and the emotional attachments of the frightened and safety-seeking ego. Esoteric religions also recognize that the present moment is all there is, the time-less reality in which God looks through our eyes (and all other senses) and percives these words on a screen.. Almost any religion on the planet has an exoteric side (which is extremely popular and which is practiced by the vast majority of the culturally-indoctrinated population) and an original esoteric side (which is the original insight of an heretic mystic or mystics - possibly as a result of an NDE in their life - before it was turned into an organized and ritualised religion with a large following. An esoteric side which is usually of interest only for a small number of mystics and not of interest to the vast majority of the population, who seem to crave security, safety, comfort, certainty, community of similarly-believing people, and soothing solace-giving concepts, more than anything else, and therefore gravitate to the exoteric part of the religion). For example, the esoteric side of exoteric christianity, islam, judaism, buddhism, hinduism is (respectively) Gnosis, Sufism, Kabbalah, Zen/Daoism, Advaita-Vedanta/Non-Duality, respectively.. And of course there are also many indigenous shamanic wholistic ways of living on the planet which are almost entirely esoteric in their un-mediated connection to (and embodying of) Spirit/Being/God/Consciousnes and its manifestation as everything that exists.. ❤

If I were to decide to write something, then the only thing possible is to say at the beginning that almost everything that is written about Yahweh was written to fill the space in the book. Except for one sentence. And that is the most useful thing that can be said on this occasion. Another thing is my desire to meet Leonardo again in a not so distant future incarnation or even better after a time reversal.

Food for the soul . Isn't it amazing how music can change your day, mental health, calm you, pump you up and (temporarily) take away the darkness.. To the prophet, Mr. Cohen. No one comes close. I miss you even though we only met once. Rest easy, maybe I'll see you again one day. Respect Forever. 💙🙏💙

“Who by fire” is Leonard Cohen’s version of the Hebrew prayer "Unetanneh Tokef", chanted on Yom Kippur. It was released in the 1974 album “New Skin for the Old Ceremony.” This is one of the main songs of the album and one of Cohen’s best known songs. The prayer Cohen heard as a child in the synagogue describes God reviewing the Book of Life and deciding the fate of every soul for the year to come - who will live, who will die and how. The line: “And who shall I say is calling?” can be understood as a break from faith in God. According to Cohen that element of doubt is what made the song into a personal prayer for him" 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 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?

Besides the humility personified by Leonard Cohen never knew of Javier Mas. Never in my life saw a person play a 12-string like it was a 6-string. Such beauty!

Lamento decir que esta canción está mas vigente que nunca !!! Ojala desde el más allá contribuya nuevamente con su granito de arena a hacer un poquitito mejor a este mundo !!

One of my favorite songs of Leonard...When I was young he was my favorite singer while my boyfriend (then husband!) preferred Bob. They are two of the greatest singers ever!

Like you , i prefer mister Cohen then mister Bob Dylan

Wonderful song, singer and musicians

You are truly a prophet,this relates to the UKRAINIAN people

Esa guitarra española, con sonidos de violín, con la fuerza y sensibilidad por el maestro Ángel Mas... Simplemente, magistral... Amabas tanto a España... Siempre en mi corazón. Tu voz sensual e irrepetible un remanso de paz... España, a un millón de metros de profundidad.

I miss him.

Léonard Cohen un géant , que l'on entend guère ... Une voix qui touche le fond du coeur et de l'âme ( et les musiciens mettent si bien en valeur ses chansons ...). Un pur moment d'emotion

God, how beautiful it is. I listen, miss and cry...💔💔💔💔💔⭐💔😥😥😥😥😥😥🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🌺🍀🌻🍀🌺

La Humanidad entera debería escuchar estas melodías, sobre todo los dirigentes, para que tomarán conciencia. Gracias sr. Cohen por todo su arte. Inmenso y eterno.

I wish I could have attended one of his live shows...

He is a genius at reaching into the human soul and lay it out for us to see. We see love, hate, spirituality, list, confusion, desperation; but above all he offers hope.

I sure wish we had you back, Leonard, if for nothing else, just to hear your calm voice in these turbulent times. Your life is still such a huge part of mine. Every day reminds me of you, my friend. 🤠

God bless You all for giving us such a pleasure

Леонард, ты пел душой! Как же сжимается сердце, когда слушаешь тебя.

Forever Leonard Cohen.

Gone but not forgotten. Thank you for the words.

L.Cohen, ein wunderbarer Mann, seine Songs sind einzigartig, ich vermisse ihn so sehr aber seine Musik wird immer in meinem Herzen bleiben, ich vermisse dich, L.Cohen.

Ich vermisse ihn auch sehr...

i saw cohen live in halifax in the early seventies. after the concert we were all on cloud nine and walking home there was leonard dancing in the alley in a light rain. washed by tears of god.

Dancing means praying with the feet to a divine gift called love ...

Je suis très impressionnée par la dimension spirituelle de l'oeuvre de Léonard Cohen..

This song makes me feel like it is full of glories of humanities.

Leonard, shortly before his death, received the Príncipe de Asturias Award in Spain. In his speech he told how a Spanish gypsy taught him his first chords on the guitar. Based on flamenco art. And he recognized that all his later work was musically based on those six chords that he learned from that boy who unfortunately committed suicide before giving him his fourth guitar class. This song shows that what he said in his speech was absolutely true. Incredible poet, musician and thinker...

But t'shuvah, t'fillah and tz'dakah have the power to transform the harshness of our destiny...G'mar tov.

Oh so beautiful. Such sublime beauty. I'm speechless, and on the verge of tears.

In the early 1970s, Leonard Cohen lived with his Canadian partner, Susan Elrod, the mother of his children. At that time cracks gradually began to form in the love of the two. And the Jewish Leonard, who is struggling in the future with his partner, takes a break and decides to fly to Israel alone. At the same time, the Yom Kippur War and the most famous Jewish singer in the country, who wandered for several days in Tel Aviv, broke out in Israel between the alarms of the war in blessed anonymity and without being recognized. At the end, after he gets tired, he sits down in the "corner" cafe in Tel Aviv, where Israeli artists and singers regularly sit. They began to talk, the friendship began to blossom and in the following days Caspi and Rubina persuaded him to join them for a tour in front of IDF soldiers. The pain of that terrible war, the stories of the battle, the friends who were killed and the hard battles - all these did not disappear from him and immediately after he returns to America and following his experiences in Israel he writes his famous song "Who by Fire" They received a new and exciting melody in this song, as only Leonard Cohen knows.

I would have love the opportunity to having such a renewed life changing experience like Leonard Cohen and I’m praying n wishing it on everyone who is reading all the messages on all his songs…

Das ist Musik, die sooo tief unter der Haut, in der Seele ankommt....

Обожаю этого певца. Правда, я почти ничего не понимаю, но он затрагивает струны моей души. Спасибо, Леонард💓

Shqipëtarët s'kanë pse ti marrin kujt leje për të ruajtur punën dhe identitetin e këtij njeriu!💪

I've seen Leonard Cohen thrice on stage, once in the 60s, twice in the 70s. One of the very early 70s concerts was at la Fête de l'Humanité in Paris, where many of us were wearing t-shirts with the slogan "Moi, je suis communiste-pourquoi pas vous?" He responded "Moi, je suis chanteur-pourquoi pas vous?" We sang.

The greatest poet of the last decades .speaks to the soul

Me, I listen to this music all the time. It is good driving music for me.

Power of the music
