Choir! Choir! Choir! sings Leonard Cohen - So Long, Marianne

It's been two years since we lost Leonard Cohen but, if last week was any indication, his passion, words, and music will live forever. We often talk about finding the vibe when we sing together week after week, and this one we nailed!
This night was also a fundraiser for our friends at The Tranzac (www.tranzac.org), a beautiful non-profit cultural + community centre, performance space, and bar in downtown Toronto that has been giving all of us a place to enjoy culture, and perform for many years. You can become a member or send them a donation to help keep their doors wide open for decades to come. XO

Leonard Cohen, are you listening from somewhere in the skies? We love you, in dark phases of life... We gather courage from you, from your poetry. As a personal note, Leonard, thank you for saving my life.

[@marksmith-pz5yx]

More than 1 of us has had our ankle fastened to a stone, because of Leonard.

Got “Goose Bumps” listening to this choir… WOW

[@TheWillHadcroft]

A beautiful song by Leonard Cohen sung by beautiful people. At 51 years of age, I nearly cried listening to it.

[@anton1949]

Humanity in its most glorious form. Wish I could have been there.

Leonard Cohen - Canada's national treasure. RIP! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦❤❤❤

[@andremon.]

[@pascalschirrmann2423]

Me too, but 6000 kms, it's a serious trip :)

[@skipraida5497]

Start your own choir,you will be a legend..

[@moonbuilder]

Me too.

[@annettesecogarden]

I think that all the time, some of these songs I play on a loop and join in and my sons comes in and complains....

[@mahayanamom]

You don't have to travel to Toronto. Here they are in NY: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2e6q2aflKeMi8U

[@cyndybuiniskis1486]

What a treat to watch so many folks, especially "of a certain age" singing so enthusiastically and without checking the lyrics sheet. Obviously a well-known and loved song! RIP Leonard, and thank you Choir! for honoring him this beautiful way.

[@ianharris7741]

8th wonder of the world .. love you guys x

[@MJMgreen0303]

I have two beautiful daughters who's mother was called Marianne.... who sadly died of cancer. When I ever hear this song, I play it regularly I remember her....

[@jjdeklerk521]

Oh goodness. Just felt my dad put his arm around me and felt the feeling of everything will be OK. Was his song…

[@shemanic1]

WOW! Thank you all. You made me laugh & cry about it all again. You brought joy to an old hippy's heart. Leonard Cohen would be honoured.

[@seanshealinghands]

This song always made me emotional but hearing you all sing it makes it even more special.

[@baltazarmn9366]

Hallelujah with Rufus Wainwright...fantastic

[@brianthomas2434]

One Canadian treasure honoring another! Shortly before his own passing, Mr. Cohen said his final goodbye to the Marianne who inspired this song. Thrilled that this favorite of mine (ever since I heard it on an FM station between Stones and Pink Floyd songs),one of Cohen's earliest and best. With luck people will embrace the message of Choir! Choir! Choir! that there is joy to be had in inhabiting music that is possibly greater than in consuming it. Ll

[@kathrynaann2461]

Thank you so very much. This is a beautiful tribute to the Maestro Leonard. Love to you all from the UK 🌹❤️🌹❤️

[@2241539]

Ditto Kathy........LC gave us so much. Much more than Megan & Harry. Best to you from across the pond.

[@tortimeese]

Oh boy, that made me so happy that I burst into tears at the end. :)

[@WilliaminOz]

Couldn't wait that long.

[@BeOkayIan]

I love the videos with these regulars more than the ones in different locations. It's like the regulars have become my friends and family that I turn in to catch up on with each video. I have my own little nicknames for different ones that I notice after numerous videos. They make me want to go to Toronto and just hang out with all these awesome people!

[@joannemassingham6198]

Feel free to join us anytime! :-)

[@Panache4u2]

Its worth the trip to Toronto. Its a great bunch of people and the camaraderie is unlike any other that I have seen with choirs around the world..Kudos to Dabu and Ludi!

An excellent rendition. Online I came upon this joke: you know it's going to be a bad day if you wake up one morning and the birds are singing Leonard Cohen songs. Just a bit of fun.

[@barbaraheartlove6911]

Vivat Cohen!!

[@jhon3615]

이 분의 노래를 참 좋아합니다. 이런 중창 모임을 정기적으로 만든다면 캐나다 여행시 참여해보고 싶군요. Leonard Cohen의 노래 자체가 의미심장하기도 하지만 다함께 노래하는 모습이 참 보기 좋습니다.

[@joeysanguine3596]

❤so happy to subscribe friends😊

[@claudinetomas7751]

Magnifique merci pour le partage 🙏🙏

[@cyclops-king-crap-music-videos]

yep

[@Dieselsdog3]

How can we clone these two so every city can live this experience?
