I miss you Leonard ❤

4:44 Leonoard's gentle sarcasm, having just answered a series of questions about culture and race, is just perfect.

"joyfully sad" That's our Leonard.

That cigarette holder...

Powerful powerful powerful

Leonard visiting Belgium means there’s still hope for the country.

The noses don’t lie. They are all in bed together

Thanks so much for uploading this.

This is analysis of Leonard and his methods of writing and poetry. Leonard gives an honest assessment of his work and he enjoys talking about poetry. Leonard sees the world and he tries to understand his life in the world. He is constantly searching his relationships for understanding.

the LIGHT in his eyes tells me all I need to know. God was there, even though he didn't fully obey Him. Once a Cohen, always a Cohen. Set apart for God. No wonder he touched many lives...it was his Heavenly Job here on this "broken hallelujah" of a planet... ...we call earth.

Leonard the comedian/philosopher. Such a complex dude.

Way ahead of his time both as a Canadian and a human generally. Thanks for your light Leonard, Montreal and our nation are so much more empty without you. Such a loss that’s still felt

My first contact with Leonard Cohen was through this wonderful work. I remember how excited I was to have discovered a true genius!

people actually beat him up over his poetry? Wow! clearly those guys lack in more than just creativity. Leonard probably apologized, he's that kind of man. what a gem he was, straight and narrow with his answers/responses...truly not one to mince words, he mastered them. thank you for the inspiration!

God damn i love Leonard Cohen so much. There will truly truly never be another Leonard Cohen. Never in a million years, will someone come along with such understanding and depth, understanding the absurdity of life, as well as its beauties.

how the hell have i never seen this?

Thanks for all the interviews~ Beautiful cover too Hope you are doing well

Leonard was truly a Cohen. Such wisdom for the people. For me, Leonard will always be a man who spoke to the soul, not necessarily his own "plight" per se, but I believe he wrote for others as much as for himself. He observed and analyzed behaviours of others, sometimes himself involved, to a degree, but mostly what we can all relate to. We are here, why waste time. Share and bear the soul. Everyone should write poetry, paint, take pictures and be inspired. You never needed a certificate. Just hopefully you have two legs and two arms, eyes to see the beauty around you, the colours around you. How you experience them, is how you perceive them. Share them with the world around you. Someone will notice...this is the human condition. You can be in relation, without a ring on your finger. Engage yourself to the moments life brings. Embrace the darkness and the light, both have been given to us. Grace from God, He made them both, for His purposes and our benefits. we have ups and downs. we always will. keep going ahead... theres more to life than what it brings...stop killing what was never dead... A story from long ago, talks of a dry path made by parting a sea... to trust and move forward, GO THROUGH the waters, is a true destiny. Don't be afraid of your potential, success and failure have nothing to do with human will, we were never born with either. And if you believe you are one or the other, you don't know the meaning of life. Life is too short to limit oneself to the constrains of the worldview. Keep it safe and respectable, never down someone else, don't over sexualize anything, meaning pervert anything, and listen before speaking. You will learn so much from someone else who has been there, wherever you are in life right now. Inspire others without YOU as the focus, thats not cool. Just be creative and share. Have a wonderful day.

Amazing interview. Your channel is a real gift, as is this great man. Keep it coming!

Thanks, guys!

I really wish I grew up with this era of the CBC

Leoanrd Cohen should’ve just said: “what are you on about?"

Fk me. He’d be cancelled today for saying this… Thanks Leonard...

Interviewer was spot on, listening an staying with Leonard. Thoughtful with the answers he got. Excellent camerawork bringing it all together in soft cohesiveness. Like very much the interviewers smiles about his subject showing how he liked his man. The cigarette holder is fun. Hadnt known he was such a cute guy back in the day. Do remember well listening to his early stuff in the wonderous 60s while at UC Berkeley reveling in all of what we had then.

Don't defend Americans, defend humanity, global

Leonard here and Leonard at the last two decades are drastic… it shows in his speaking and in his eyes and softening of his face. I’m so happy to know he found peace in the end. LC in London in 2008-2009 was such a treasure. Austin City Limits was another great small concert. ❤🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️

This video has that soft analog tv sound I love for interviews.

Interviewer has aged badly, Leonard is timeless.

Guy's clearly in a hurry, still manages to be super respectful and say thank you to every member of the crew at the end of the interview. I'm a journalist and trusts me that is truly called CLASS.

I like him even more than before...

Սիրով կլսեյի բոլոր հաղորդումները,ափսոս,իմ ԼԵԶՎՈՎ չէ...

I hate how his hair is perfect and it looks like all he has to do is wake up and it’s good.

I love him but he is like Nick Cave in that he gets caught up too much in judeo-Christian nonsense. You can add Richard Thompson and others to that list. It’s so silly. There’s no one in the sky watching us. Learn about evolution and stuff. Damn.

The Devil laughs when we make plans... THISISSO. The only plan that the devil cannot laugh @ is His✝Just⚖Return🪃.

My greatest HERO. LOVE this guy and his music.❤❤

Hes such an inspiration

Magnifique!

It's seems more like an interrogation to me than an interview but Leonard is on top of things with honesty and humility.

lol he looks so depressed

What a gloriously look of disbelief when Leonard says the words "minor poet".

“Events rush in too quickly for me to have a program about it” ~ LC was a person who slowly over time became more open to many aspects of what life had to offer. I believe that he had no artistic program to follow but rather developed his own groove in response to the life he had personally experienced.

esplendido

It is Julie Christensen and Perla Batalla - they're not backing singers but co-performers. Catch Perla on her tour with Leonard's songs - 'In the House Of Cohen' - Fascinating stories and great performance with so much love for the man and his music.

The deluded comments that believe that Cohen is being sarcastic...

Im glad to hear that Cohen was defending the sacrament of marriage , emphasizing matrimony and the family unit as a pillar of society

One of a kind.

Is he stoned here?

He’s a constant star in my sky
