[@bryangarnet3553]

An artist of the highest order..........had the privilege to tour with him and play in his band

[@supermash1]

Cool.

[@mayportsloth5417]

He was an awesome human being. You must have been pretty awesome yourself.

Вам повезло, я недавно узнала этого великого артиста и великолепных людей в его группе, вы большие молодцы и таланты, слушаю каждый день!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@Noelito40]

This is music for grown ups, marvelous stuff!... And he's still the most charismatic man I've ever seen.

[@amcmenemy5647]

Genius lyrics from the Master. World is so much poorer without him in it.

[@johnwakefield8570]

.. but he is in the world .. Leonard is in the world .. I am listening to him even as I type this ..

[@sandorfrohlich2403]

Leonard Cohen will forever remain as great as his songs and always greater than anyone of his songs. He is present ubiquitously in all his songs ..a true poet and troubadour.

[@neilpratt]

I’ve never listened to Cohens music before and this is just great 👌

[@jorgea.carrillo9191]

Listen Lover, lover, lover from the álbum Songs From The Road!!!

[@leemorgan4799]

I've been listening to his music for years. I still have my Leonard Cohen vinyl records.

[@jimxeviify]

It''s a really good song but I wouldn' put it among his 10 best songs.

[@James-hl6eh]

The stories of the street is something to behold.

[@nigelsouthworth5577]

I was lucky enough to see this in 1993 in Lancashire, UK. It sent me on a journey...

[@georgelorimer6335]

I love how you can hear him singing off mic at times too. So passionate 🇺🇸🤘🏽✌🏽❤🎶

[@neilsg2001]

What a voice. Thanks BBC Music

[@andrewlankford9634]

Such strong language! I don't know if I can take it!

[@AngusFerguson]

Very timely post of a great song. Let's hope Leonard is right in 4 days time!

[@odradekk]

You’re still that “junk that still is holding up this little wild bouquet “ !!!

[@Mark-qc6rp]

Saw him in Melbourne in a small theatre many years ago. Such a great concert, including 6 encores!

[@valeriesweetlove110]

Yay Leonard you got it right!

[@marcelnicolas3247]

Hello how are you doing today...

[@MrBitsilly]

Been a into his music since 8th grade, cool to see this 😁

[@johnhanson4776]

I truly wish we were at a historical point in our country, where this song wasn't necessary. Hopefully, someday.

[@Theghostdiaries]

Was just thinking that

[@tonyspoetry]

Great performance

[@bellabjorkqvist7286]

Magnifique

[@7heavenlyvirtues]

Wonderful!

[@russelldeanna9198]

Only three days old and just in time. I am saying a prayer for democracy today - to the interventionist God I don't believe exists.

[@houdini840]

I am quoting you as I post this. I too am praying to the interventionist God I don't believe exists.

[@kenbarber6592]

Your prayers will be answered, thankfully His existence is not dependent on our belief. Peace.

[@supermash1]

I'm as stubborn as those garbage bags that time cannot decay I'm junk but I'm still holding up this little wild bouquet Wonderful.

[@yaelpalombo4093]

Hello how are you doing today...

[@thepowercut]

"I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean I love the country but I can't stand the scene And I'm neither left or right I'm just staying home tonight Getting lost in that hopeless little screen But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags That time cannot decay I'm junk but I'm still holding up this little wild bouquet Democracy is coming to the USA" Oh boy...

[@phylisbrown7141]

What a treasure.

[@ChantelleandJohn]

“Sail on - oh mighty ship of State....”The heart has got to open in a fundamental way”.

[@ronsjostrand9665]

With joyful visage Hold high that wild bouquet. The beginning has begun...we're not there yet, so dance and sing her here.

Versione formidabile !

[@MARKCARRI]

Genius

[@puepole]

It looks like the BBC must have put this footage through an AI remastering program or something. They didn't have HD video like this in 1993.

I'm so Crazy (2001) is a Song by Italian House Duo Par-T-One. the song was classed as being 'Punk-House' due to the video being very much like a Punk Concert as people were doing the Pogo to the music, and the main singer having a resemblance to a Skinhead who was violently shouting SHUT IT JUST KEEP WALKING STOP THE TALKING

[@jamesbond4633]

Amazing how people equate Democracy to a certain political party or individual. As Glenn Greenwald said recently in an interview the elite are just as comfortable sitting with the controlled politicians from the left and right. Leonard sang a line in this song similar to that as well. George Orwell told us what the plan is of these elite. Why do you think censorship and cancel culture is becoming so prevalent among other movements these days? As Sting wrote....I have only come here seeking knowledge...things they would not teach me in college. What did they teach you in college and why?!!!!

[@thystruter6869]

He attended a Zen Buddhist monastery

[@eleonoramarkopaljusevic3501]

Wow

[@lewminati139]

Am I going deaf in my old age? Where was the "strong language"?

[@ofs82]

I assume this is the "homicidal bitching" in the third verse. Or, they just might be using irony - it's "strong language" as in "powerful". Plenty of Lenny's songs could be considered powerful lyrically, that's for sure.

[@awaliwu]

That is what I wondered...but then we know the insanity here...do we not!! Leonard Cohen saw everything....

[@lewminati139]

@@awaliwu What sort of person would be offended by "bitchin'"? This new culture of apologising and being in fear of causing offense goes too far at times. It really annoys me. By the way, I like your name. So long. 😊

[@awaliwu]

@@lewminati139 hi Lew, thank you! I discovered Leinard Cohen after a very gorgeous canoeing inatructor sang so long marianne! I had no idea what that was.. i was 13 or 14.years later I came across LC and his song so long marianne.. there is no greater singer/songwriter alive now. Every song speaks worlds. Did you hear his song puppet Jew, puppet German...very grim. Very true.

[@lewminati139]

@@awaliwu Marianne, yes I have heard that song. I have the complete set of everything he ever recorded, including DVD's of live concerts etc. I have to get my daily fix of LC as I'm totally addicted 😊

[@ttraceytlt123]

Can't say we weren't warned eh

[@Piggy-Oink-Oink]

it';s not coming to the usa anytine soon.

[@markgraham6820]

Anyone know who the sax player is please?

[@musicandfilms9956]

"Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.". Oh boy, was he mistaken.

[@awaliwu]

Maybe he knew that the BBC was totally corrupt!

[@johnwakefield8570]

Cardboard clowns .. umm .. err + more .. mmm .. oh we do we would .. hope so .. Ah, Leonard .. let's be hopeful ..
