Leonard Cohen - By the Rivers Dark download song

A legend never dies. He just quit giving live performances RIP to a true legend

I am 72 wow think of all the marvelous ,strange and gloriously wonderful. music at the same time . Hopefully I'll be around for a few more years..

Marvelous song with equally fascinating video choice. "Who was waiting there...who was hunting me." Leonard Cohen nails "moody" and "mysterious" blended together!

Leonard Cohen's music has helped me in lonely times of anguish

It is a  terrifying prospect to live separated from the living God. As the exiled  did in Babylon the land across the great river.

My favourite artist ever since I was in primary school. The real artist.

By the rivers dark I wandered on. I lived my life In Babylon. And I did forget My holy song And I had no strength In Babylon. By the rivers dark Where I could not see Who was waiting there Who was hunting me. And he cut my lip And he cut my heart. So I could not drink From the river dark. And he covered me, And I saw within, My lawless heart And my wedding ring, I did not know And I could not see Who was waiting there, Who was hunting me. By the rivers dark I panicked on. I belonged at last To Babylon. Then he struck my heart With a deadly force, And he said, â??This heart It is not yours.' And he gave the wind My wedding ring And he circled us With everything. By the rivers dark, In a wounded dawn, I live my life In Babylon. Though I take my song From a withered limb, Both song and tree, They sing for him. Be the truth unsaid And the blessing gone, If I forget My Babylon. I did not know And I could not see Who was waiting there, Who was hunting me. By the rivers dark, Where it all goes on By the rivers dark In Babylon.

This man's songs were beautiful expressions of his lifelong journey into his soul. It has inspired and moved me for decades. What an artist!

These lyrics striking me ... and this video, heartrendering ... 'Dog is man's best friend' .....For sure!

I have discovered and rediscovered Leonard Cohen again and again over the years. He gives meaning to my life. I can still hear him singing softly from his window in the tower of song today, long after he's gone!

I just discovered Leonard and now I get to listen to all his songs for the first time. Thank you God!

RIP master we never forget you.

He had a haunting voice, it never fails to brings tears to my eyes. ———

"I did not know and I could not see . . . . . ."     Love this; thank you.

One of the best songs ever

May he RIP.......his songs inspired me at the lowest points in my life....

Then he struck my heart With a deadly force And he said, "This heart It is not yours" ● ︿ ● R.I.P
