Leonard Cohen - Show Me the Place (Official Lyric Video)

[@lilise3965]

This is a prayer, a religious hymn. A cry of surrender and subdued protest to God's mysterious ways.

[@loveberry1973]

Mr. Cohen you know how to talk to Lord. My tears come down every time hear this song, I can see you standing in front of the weeping wall, whispering to our Lord.

[@oldcat3003]

Legends do not die. They fade away and will remain in our hearts forever.

[@MyMericita]

GREAT ARTIST..POET.. TROVADOR ..Since I was 18 , I am 61 now. Privilege to see him in Chicago where I live now. THANK YOU FOR YOUR MUSIC

[@SlightlyStrangeFlo]

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.

[@theonlymeaning]

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.

[@jzk3919]

You wil see this quite a different-Much more human way. It is the magic of good poetry that it is mysteriously ambiguous. Good luck!

[@SlightlyStrangeFlo]

@David McGivern yes exactly!

[@klytouch7515]

God is a dictator.. Michael the strongest angel do his bidding.. hmmm I like Lucifer he understood the definition of dictatorship and chose to die with a rebellion against God.. I guess if we stop worshipping God he will fade away and we can be free from slavery.. and mister Cohen understood that.. yup

"Not a song, not a poem. A psalm." (Leon Bertoletti, Literary Suplement) !!!

[@markread4427]

Just a little more of nothing

[@klausklaus9112]

... a hymn ...

[@theonlymeaning]

yes indeed, a psalm...."David had a secret chord."

[@WorkplaceCatalysts]

Timeless poignancy in this hymn like offering from Mr Cohen. The terminality of man, the surrender, the endurance, the weight of responsibility and the vulnerability in prayerful submission.

[@wolverinebishop7160]

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.

[@michellebruton6287]

Ah Leonard ... you have been such a part of so many moments in my life, happy and sad. You've shown me the beauty in sadness that is just never as deep or as beautiful in moments of happiness. I thank you xx

[@patriciawagstaff6302]

Thank you for your fine words.

[@ritahorvath8207]

We still miss you so much, Mr. Cohen.

[@BABANAMKABALAM]

Today I learnt Leonard Cohen passed away two weeks ago. And I feel It's a pity he is not going to compose such inspiring songs anymore. Anyways some persons pass through life without bringing anything worthy to others, and that's not his case. What an honor to leave without this regret. Thanks Leonard

[@malthouseful]

Beyond doubt one of the greatest poets,songwriters and singers in any century-rarely equalled.

[@moondancer3157]

Amen.... Well put.

[@doublewings8273]

This is not a song about love or loss. He is asking the Lord to lend a helping hand so he can complete his "leap of faith", a struggle many of us are going through.

[@turbotat5274]

The nuns used to "show me the place", and it was where the raincoats were hanging. I got used to it. Now that I'm a whole lot older, I can say there are damn few songs that make me want to get on my knees. Mr. Cohen, I bow to your mind and your voice. Can't listen to you enough. With warm aloha...

I fell in love with him the day we met. The day He died I met him. I normally dont love a singer. I doubt I ever loved a singer. He reached so far in his songs that reached to all my written poetry, unpublished. He is a song that inspired my awakening in his death, a beautiful story. I suppose it is between us. I think he met me without me knowing it.

First time I'm hearing this song, and not enough time yet to have thought about what the words mean. So, where are these tears coming from? Maybe I'm understanding after all and I just don't know it. Also, the melody is a lot like that of an old familiar hymn, Sweet Hour of Prayer.
