Leonard Cohen - If I Didn't Have Your Love (Official Audio)

[@brandedtotroll9153]

If I didn't have your love is easily the greatest love song of all time.

[@josephbrown2356]

He was dark, he was edgy, he was mystical, he was spiritual, sensual, romantic and erotic. A great poet-musician such as Leonard comes our way only once. We his contemporaries are both honoured to have shared his poetry and song and saddened in his passing. His aged and battered body is broken, but not the great spirit. He has found the peace and solitude for which he searched. Rest well our friend.

[@lindaelawson9415]

A perfect elegy. I have nothing to add to that, but I miss you, Leonard. Rest well, indeed.

[@thomasblumenthal2557]

@@lindaelawson9415 He is hanging with Neruda, they shared a soul.

Rest in peace, Sir. you have gotten me through some of the worst times in my life.

[@marcinmaziakowski]

[@colinlong1346]

Love you Shawn

[@camabelu1]

Your words affected me. This song is a kind of perfection.

[@larrylinn8589]

To me, Cohen’s “You want it Darker” album, was Leonard writing his own epitaph.

[@userstk]

This is one of the three best songs on the album for me: If I Didn't Have Your Love = a devout Christian's love song for God. Leaving the Table = an atheist's parting word to this world. Treaty = an unsure Christian's struggle with creeping doubts. All three are utterly beautiful songs. Cohen wrote them all for us so we can take a pick. It makes me wonder which one he himself was.

[@him21016]

Don't forget "it seemed the better way". A comlicated bag of religious feeling in that one

[@januszpiechota6994]

Im sorry to say but I’m finding your comment abnormally unintelligent It’s like you don’t know anything about any of known religions Pls educate yourself

[@freddybuggenhout9350]

Great text, perfect guitar, this one of the best songs of the album, but anyway, the album is perfect as a whole. Listened to it at least 10 times the last 2 days and cannot stop listening to it. Crying like a child, and happy, al together. Leonard, live another 100 years and give us more music like this.

how poinient your comment today 💙 r.i.p

[@littlebigphil5629]

Listen to his earlier stuff then you won't stop crying... This is what chain smoking does to a great artist's voice.

[@janroobrouck6607]

Little Big PhiL aging is unfair, isn't it. However, I prefer his broken voice.

[@jschuler53]

I never understood why so many singer's smoke and ruin their greatest asset. Same thing happened to Dylan, Joni Mitchell. Can't explain Tom Waits, like his voice the way it is, but he's not as old as the others.

[@1dbanner]

His art came from another place, and he now rests there forever. Until we cross that same threshold, we have the music, we have the words.

[@deborahriley7355]

He became a born from above Jew He put His trust in Yahshua's sacrifice on the cross

[@philipclayton2699]

There are two people who do not write pop music but are fantastically successful and loved: Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan. I thin you are with one or t'other. I am with LC. That dies not mean I don't like Dylan, but Cohen speaks to me in a way that is so intimate that it could be me speaking. He articulates feelings that we all have but simply cannot express in the poesticy manner he always achieves.

[@jamesharris184]

He is awesome but so is John Mellencamp. Read his lyrics unbelievable.

[@OrionConstellationHome]

And Chris Rea.

[@potatoplayz2436]

You really think there’s only two people in that category?

[@philipopruesse4259]

I agree. His words bring focus to so many thoughts and feelings that are inside of us all, unarticulated.

[@Skwid-Lives]

Different flavors. Bob is amazing. So is Leonard. No need to choose

[@gildavaranal8530]

I’ll offer my best guess… After his journey in the dark side of life, he repented and was brought back to life with its endless possibilities for him and he acknowledged that God loves him🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@giggel388]

RIP, Leonard Cohan , you will never be forgotten

[@susansorrell8392]

my heart is broken and hurting

[@heidigernand879]

Ich vermisse ihn so sehr. Seine Stimme und seine wunderbare Lyrik, Poesie und seine Melancholie, die meiner gleicht. Nur Menschen mit solch tiefer Melancholie, können so tief fühlen, lieben tief im Herzen und in der Tiefe ihrer Seele.

[@sieglindewestendorf1474]

Danke für Ihre Worte, so empfinde ich auch, besser kann ich es nicht ausdrücken.

[@MarkusLeshem-Bernel]

Geht mir auch so...

[@theloniouscoltrane3778]

You know you are not wasting your time while listening to a L.Cohen song. Poetry, philosophy, & a divine music to accompany it. One of the greatest who ever penned a song. Each word is deep and existential.

[@daniellewis409]

To know your death is near, yet make such beautiful art. This is divinity

[@M._Lou]

This is the single best love song I have ever heard. Who wouldn't know how exquisitely they were loved after hearing such a beautiful hymn sung in their honor............

[@nikolaspareschi]

And it is not for a woman, nor a man.

[@deborahriley7355]

It's to God...Yahshua

[@Pointlessnothingness]

Rest in Peace Mr. Cohen......and thank you sir...thank you. gd

I sing this song, just learned, I will sing it and sing now and until the end of time

[@rachelfelong3899]

For my husband, who I love more than he could possibly ever know... Without you, the world is dark. The colors have faded, the music in my soul is missing...

[@mattmcmillan6630]

I have followed the man for years. Hallelujah, the Future, Waiting for the Miracle, I'm Your Man... One of the greatest poets in his time and for many decades to come.

It some ways you need to be a little damage to understand Leonard music he sung about humanity the frailty of life RIP X

[@Mon870]

Totally agree with you. Takes depth and sorrow to fully understand Leonard's songs!

Don't agree. You have to just think....

I wept at his leaving and rejoiced in his release. Much like his music & lyrics a bitter sweet mix of sorrow & joy. From the depth of his soulful poetry came his musical genius. Through his trials and tribulations his gift to us and in this last album his true humanity shines forth honoring his God and all who loved him. Hallelujah

"If I Didn't Have Your Love Si je n'avais pas ton amour If the sun would lose its light Si le soleil perdait sa lumière And we lived an endless night Et que nous vivions dans une nuit sans fin And there was nothing left that you could feel Et s'il ne te restait rien à ressentir That's how it would be Voilà ce que ce serait What my life would seem to me Ce que ma vie me semblerait If I didn't have your love to make it real Si je n'avais pas ton amour pour la rendre réelle".............. R.I.P. doux Ange Leonard..

[@aperson22222]

Beautiful song from a poetic genius. I can't help thinking that it's a departure for him, though: a song of the love one person feels for one other person. Usually his subject matter eventually broadens to a much more expansive view, or else takes on some other complication. I'm hard pressed to think of another LC love song that's so straightforward.

[@bgail7669]

aperson22222 Mr. Cohen is 82 years old, believe me, as you get older things do get more and more straightforward

[@lynnedixon10]

It needn't be about only human love; it also works as a hymn.

[@aperson22222]

Lynne Dixon It would be a pretty insecure hymn.

[@patm4151]

Most hymns are insecure. Cohen's song or hymn is more secure, certainly more honest than many. It is his naked, honest plea to God that if He didn't exist and/or didn't love humanity, nothing would be real.

[@patm4151]

Yes, yes, it is so deeply beautifully and at the same time, comforting. You should read the essay on front page NY Times. 11/14 It's the best one yet.
