Am confindent that this performance can make every single person in the world a fan of Leonard Cohen's music and of Eivør's voice.

.. y de haber coincidido con Cohen nos habría vuelto locos ¡¡¡ qué catarsis !!!

I heard this song in 1969. I met the writer and singer. He bought a painting from me, of himself. I was swallowed up, and down, by this man's music. Very seriously swallowed, for some years. I want to thank Eivor for lifting this song up and out of its solemnity and into its purity. May God bless you both. 🌹 ❤️

Why is this not on Spotify! It makes me tear up every time I hear it ♥

[@elisabethdanielsen-1369]

Elski hendan sangin og faktiskt betur tá ið Eivør syngur hann🎶 einastandandi ❤

[@dorisdaumann5914]

As a teen I loved to sing the songs of Leonard Cohen in the 1970s ... Now my voice is a little bit damaged by a sickness - as a grandma I love to listen more !!!! This Lady sings the Cohen songs so wonderful !!!! 🌹 With love from Germany !! ❤

[@chrisehmke1651]

Leonard would have loved this

[@payla8308]

This is the most beautiful poem I've ever heard. Leonard Cohen write poems that have music. Its too simple to call them songs in my perspective. I never thought someone could perform one of his pieces better than he could but then Eivor did it.

[@sharonmurdock9786]

Love Eivør!! Can never get enough of her creativeness 💙🎶

[@luziapestana8210]

Nice voice to sing the great Leonard Cohen. An angelic voice and words go with the wind till my home. Congratulations for your all talent. I love it. Greetings fr Madeira island. Ivo Pestana 👌

[@cristianlandriel407]

Tal vez los paisajes espectaculares de las Islas Feroe hayan influido, tal vez un capricho de la naturaleza dispuso que las cosas sean así, pero de algo cada día que pasa estoy más convencido: Eivør Pálsdóttir debe ser la cantautora poseedora del arte más exquisito de nuestra época. Sencillamente lo que esta mujer hace es espectacular, la amo profundamente...❤ Saludos desde Buenos Aires, Argentina

[@Ring0fSaturn]

Simply spectacular. Eivør alone with her Gibson and her angelic voice in a meadow (Faroe Islands?) singing one of Leonard Cohen's better songs is nearly perfect. Thank you.

En Français s'il vous plaît, vous êtes une fée, votre magie nous transporte avec vous grâce à votre voix, votre baguette magique! Merci ! Sarah

[@dorelbutaciu497]

This entire video is perfect. I wish I could be there and listen to this song while I feel the wind and the cold on my smiling face. Also, I love her hair and clothes ^^

[@Sanderopop]

[@erikalovas4771]

Gyönyörű dal, hang és táj!

[@user-vh1pn9ks6v]

With a lot of "singers", I don't wanna listen to their live versions bc they don't sound good without vocal modifications and autotune.... But Eivør is one of the few singers who sound even better live than on recordings. She's amazing.

[@sharonmurdock9786]

Ikr!!

[@anthrop7998]

[@ildiko1vt]

Come un uccello sul filo Come un ubriaco in un coro di mezzanotte Ho provato a mio modo di essere libero Come un verme su un gancio Come un cavaliere di un libro vecchio stile Ti ho salvato tutti i nastri Se io, se sono stato scortese Spero che tu possa lasciarlo passare Se io, se sono stato falso Spero tu sappia che non è mai stato per te Per come un bambino, nato morto Come una bestia con il suo corno Ho strappato tutti quelli che mi hanno contattato Ma lo giuro su questa canzone E per tutto ciò che ho fatto di sbagliato Farò tutto fino a te Ho visto un mendicante appoggiato alla sua stampella di legno Mi disse: "non devi chiedere così tanto" E una bella donna appoggiata alla sua porta buia Mi ha gridato: "Ehi, perché non chiedere di più?" Oh, come un uccello sul filo Come un ubriaco in un coro di mezzanotte Ho provato a mio modo di essere libero
