i was sitting and asking god to help me deal with my anger toward those who follow the words of the pharisees, and this song came to mind, and it helped me to know, there are jews out there who do not subscribe to the murderous cult like religion that is judaism. when he says hes not their brother, hes hes own man, hes saying count me out of this kid killing cult called judaism.

In Italy when a very genial artist die, it's usual to say "Morto un papa, non se ne fa un altro".

[@isaak.studio]

One of my personal favorites, unsurprisingly.

God Bless All....What an amazing sound... and what poetry..from a master. We are all tested...but i reckon Peace is the best Path.. but we need to be aware and self control with positive manifestation at hand

[@moondancer3157]

Never heard a Cohen song I didn't like.

[@pierre-bernardelsig9998]

My dad spoke to me with this terrifying cold voice when I came back in Switzerland in December 1983. I'am sure his hand was trembling.

[@aim120C]

what do you mean? was he tasked by God to kill you like abram?

[@Thulgore]

My highly religious foster family was the horror story of my life. I am sure they are still considered "good people" in their community. I am pretty sure they are still alive and will probably live good lives. Another reason as to why I don't think "karma" exists, I'm actually almost convinced that if it does exist, it does so in reverse.

[@angelaharris6577]

They will have to answer to a higher authority. That will be their karma Hope you are not being held in fear now. It is extremely difficult to convay to people what you have gone through, but you know and recognise it so have the power to break the pattern . I wish you peace and comfort.

Beautiful and soothing

[@alexnordh]

In Sweden we have an expression : Apple cheeks , refering to that self righteous right Wing christianity.And this song is the ultimate criticism of that .

[@tovarischkrasnyjeshi]

The song plays on words in a way that's obvious if you're familiar with Hebrew, like vulture and eagle being the same word. The peacock spreading his fan is a symbol on the uniforms of the IDF This is a song about Zionism more than anything else

omg. I just heard this for the first time! War in Israel going on now. This is the voice of the young Leonard, but how relevant today.

[@ddruxman3579]

This is one of the most classic and superior anti war songs ever written. You who build the altars now to sacrifice these children you must not do it anymore... that's about our soldiers, nothing but children in uniforms sent off to defend all of us. I was brought up in the 60s on Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan music, et all (Seeger, Collins, Baez, Ochs... the list goes on, and all of them contributed with timeless masterpieces). But tonight amid the building tension, horror and sadness around me, I had to hear this song.

[@TAD-LOW]

The peacock spreads his fan.

[@Wuei108]

I think i saw an eagle but it might have been a vulture.

[@monicacote6304]

Would God ask anyone to sacrifice their child? Surely, the Bible is written by a man not a woman and I am doubtful that such writing or acts inspired by a loving god.

[@angelus823]

God was testing Abraham by asking him to sacrifice his beloved son, but in the end the only one that sacrificed their one and only son was that same God that you say is unloving. He gave you more than you could ever fathom.

[@AntonioTorres-mo8bp]

[@bravesirrobin704]

"And mercy on our uniform Men of peace or men of war The peacock spreads his fan" Wow! Besides everything else, LC was also an evolutionary psychologist before evolutionary psychology!

[@tovarischkrasnyjeshi]

This is evoking the imagery on the IDF uniform. There are other hints in the song that this is from a Hebrew speaker's perspective. It's about Zionism.

[@Sbeeyuiik]

You either have a huge misunderstanding of what Leonard Cohen stood for… Or a huge misunderstanding of what evolutionary psychology is.

[@jamesharkins9702]

I though I saw an Eagle, it could have been a Vulture. No it was definitely a Vulture. (the US).

[@dougr.2398]

No, he honestly did not know. That is why he wrote it the way he did. The song is neither pro nor anti war. The closing line makes quite clear it is anti-vanity (these days, male or female). “man of peace, man of war, the peacock spreads his fan”

[@tovarischkrasnyjeshi]

Vulture and Eagle are the same word in Hebrew The peacock spreading his fan is the peacock on the uniforms of the IDF this is a song about Zionism
