It seems, to me, that Leonard Cohen thinks about God in a far more profound way than many can. That's what I see in this song, anyway. What an incredible soul.
@theonlymeaning5 жыл бұрын
it's literally in his DNA.....descended from Rabbis ,carrying the surname of the royal priesthood then being born and raised in Montreal, he saw gatherings of black habit wearing nuns, or the nuns all dressed in white....he saw crucifixes everywhere in that outpost of France ....he must have looked long and hard at that tortured and crucified Jew, who comes in and out of so many of the poemsongprayers from his soul to G-d, to us on behalf of G-d and to G-d on behalf of us, and he seems intuitively to know we will take into our beings , in perfect eternal turning, the poemsongprayer and make it all, G-d him and you and I our own.

What an unbelievably beautiful song--I almost want to say psalm--from the great Leonard Cohen. He understands the many shackles of the world, especially pride and ignorance, that keep us from our true nature. And yet there is a profound conversion from master to man, from holding the chains to bending the head low, from doubt to faith--a faith only possible through brotherhood: removing the stone together.
