Do not stand at my gave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow.I am the sunlight On the ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn’s rain.When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rushof quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night.Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die.My Spirit is still alive…

A splendid, timeless song! How many here to listen to it in 2024?

2024 anyone? 😊

In 2024 Leonard Cohen is still a music genius. No likes requested.

Mr. Cohen was a tortured soul while here on Earth; suffering extreme prolonged bouts of depression. So, I sincerely say: Thank you for the beautiful music and rest in peace Leonard.

My mom was a big fan, she died same day as Leonard. That was her kind of humor. So.. we played this song for her last farewell.

This song will never get old, 2024 and its still a masterpiece ❤❤ RIP Cohen 🙏

His poetic prowess is something out of this era, literally.

Rest in peace, Leonard Cohen.

Do not mourn that he is no more; celebrate that He was.

I'm leaving this comment here so that whenever someone likes it, I come to listen this song and feel him over and again!

My husband died four days ago and I'm still trying to make sense of it all .... Hallelujah helps.

The man deserves a Nobel Prize for Literature

29k dislikes? You don’t really care for music do you?

Its Hebrew meaning praise the Lord! One of the best sounding live performances of later half of the 20th century

I’ve heard this song many times from different performers but none can ever top this one by Leonard Cohen. So much passion and feelings in his voice, thank you for this Beautiful Legacy! Rest in Peace! ❤️🙏🏼✝️

Rest In Peace Mr. Cohen, may your music inspire many for years to come.

Leonard Cohen despite his fame, didnt have much money. When he was in Australia during our catastrophic bushfires a few years ago, he donated every cent he was paid to the Bushfire Appeal. NO fuss, no publicity, he just did it. RIP Great Man.

February 2024 still a master piece cant get enough of this song❤

I'm 69 yrs old and this song gives me the chills every time I hear it, by many singers. Thank you Mr. Cohen for this beautiful song.

Philip: I am 86 years old my body is also failing me but, my hearing is excellent, thank the Lord. I love this song.

My husband bought tickets for us to see Leonard Cohen in Milwaukee for Valentine's Day in 2013. It is one of my favorite memories. My husband died on May 20, 2021 and my world will never be the same.

Just found out today that my best friend & her husband both want this played for their memorial.

This man reaches the depth of my soul. I’m so glad he was here. God rest his soul.

I'm a Veteran living through PTSD, Pancreatic and Lung Cancer, and this man and this song makes me feel that life is worth fighting for. He was, and still is an inspiration.

Seventh anniversary of his passing. Still one of the most powerful songs every written. Ever. Godspeed, Leonard Cohen.

That was a rare once-in-a-lifetime moment

Saw this legend a few years before his death with my mum. Such a wonderful artist.

Goodbye Leonard, we love you.

Rest in Peace.

This will be one of the 3 songs played at my Funeral.

You don't just hear it , you feel it ❤

This song is good with or without a good voice, a true musical genius this was.

R.I.P your music will be sung with the angels

April 2024....love this song!

For my mom My mom died Monday April 15, 2024 6:45 PM

Leonard Cohen passed away November 7, 2016 (aged 82). On Nov 21, 2016, his legendary 1984 recording graces the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time, as Leonard Cohen's original version of "Hallelujah" debuts at No. 59. Rest in peace!

RIP Mr Cohen! What a great talent. His legacy will live on

"And even though it all went wrong, I'll stand right here before the Lord of song, with nothing on my tongue, but Hallelujah" Wow... Just incredible.

"The only thing I learned from love is how to shoot at someone who out drew you" still doesn't seem like amore. But 2024 , a "cold and broken hallelujah" is right on and exactly

Hallelujah was written by Leonard Cohen, a great Canadian from Montreal. It was one of the greatest gifts he could give the world as it is performed all over the world. Cohen now rests in peace back in his beloved Montreal.

RIP Alan Rickman, RIP Leonard Cohen, RIP Prince, RIP George Michael, RIP David Bowie, RIP Shimon Peres, RIP Carrie Fisher.

“ You see, I used to live alone before I knew you.” Even though I was raised to believe in God, I always had times in my life where I felt so alone. Then in 2003 at the time the war in Iraq began, I heard a sermon that finally took my heart and melded it with God. I finally recognized that I was never alone, at 44 I became fully born again. This verse of the song always brings tears to my eyes, along with the image of David writing Hallelujah’s, one of the most powerful words ever written. Praise Ja all you people.

... yes - I think so, even in 2024 ... my deep respect to Mr. Cohen ! 😌😊

When I heard that he was going on his “final tour” (ha ha) I got myself to Copenhagen. I even booked into the same hotel as his party. And one morning there he was sharing a coffee with his colleague. I rushed out to the nearest bookshop to get a copy of his latest book. As it happened there was a long line of people waiting to pay for their books (not Cohen’s). I was worried I would miss out on getting him to sign (back at the hotel). I yelled out “Excuse me, I need to get this book back for Leonard Cohen to sign”. Well, the crowd moved aside and applauded. They all loved Cohen. Most were in their 30s. I finally got back and sheepishly approached him. (My partner had already scalded me for invading his privacy). I apologised and introduced myself, explaining I had travelled from Sydney to be at his concert. I asked if he would sign the book for my daughter who was also a fan. THIS IS WHERE THE REAL COHEN SURFACED. He softly asked the name of my daughter. Then he took the book and settled it on the table, smoothing its pages flat. Slowly, he reached into his jacket for his fountain pen. Removing the cap, he looked up with a smile and asked the name of my daughter. He spelt it out to me to make sure. Then he commenced the artwork. He didn’t just write, he drew. The drawing was words but the art was in how he did it. You see, some art is not captured on paper or sculptures, or even performed. It is simply how you live. He gave me a spirit.

now you will sing it from above. thank you for everything.

I'm 46 and am only now hearing this original version for the first time ❤️ His voice is so unique

The organ solo is what musical perfection feel, looks & sounds like. Standing ovation!

My heart is broken... RIP Leonard Cohen...

Good night Leonard and Au revoir .

A beautiful man with a beautiful voice I wonder if he knows how many people love his music And how many are up lifted listening to it

I just love this song to bits. I'm not religious. I just know what gives me what I need ,when I need it. So does Nessun Dorma.

Today, my uncle died. now how is this even relevant to L. Cohen? Leonard Cohen was his favorite singer. He had grown up in the hippy era, saw the rise of metal, the apparition of Edm, and many more. But none of these genres brought him to a blissful joy like Leonard Cohen did, when he discovered him a few years ago, following his stroke. He had become a frail man after that incident, but Cohen's music gave him so much joy in his painful life. he introduced me to Leonard Cohen, and now that he's gone, I now realise the amazing work this singer does. Thank you uncle Michel, thank you for everything and especially, thank you for making me rediscover Leonard Cohen.

I miss u leonard. .I am old enough to have followed u from your beginning. love u forever.

I first heard this song with Celine Dion and the Canadian Tenors. Then I discovered Leonard Cohen and delved in to his music and life. I have read approved biographies. His voice moves me. His life interests me. He was a very human being experiencing life and singing about it. We were very fortunate to have had him here on earth.

Sin has a way of breaking a person down until they come to the Lord. Amen and Hallelujah

RIP LEONARD COHEN. I wish your family a very long life.

2016 takes another legend. rip

Champion Gentleman, a Sir of great wisdom, a poet, a singer, a simple Genius.... Sir, its been an honour

a timeless classic provided by a timeless entertainer!!!!!!!!!

The way he sings is amazing. His voice. I love songs where you can hear the passion of the singer.

Leonard is now one with God and can sing Hallelujah for eternity.

Thank you Leonard Cohen for this most profound, and MOST BEAUTIFUL song. The world continues to keep it alive by fellow singers touched by it.

I agree if you don’t like this song, you do not have a soul

Nothing like the composer singing his song and telling his story from his heart. You can tell it came from a deep place. Truly touching!

My beloved husband, Larry Williams, who loved Leonard Cohen and this song.....took his last breath on this earth while "Hallelujah" was playing💔 3-20-16

"HALLELUJAH! Praise the LORD. Thank you!

He surely got a seat at the head table in heaven for writing this masterpiece.

Such a shame that this man has passed away. May you rest in Peace Sir. The original and best version IMHO

How you ever feel just love and real admiration for someone that you will never meet ? this is happens to me with this man. Rest in peace Sir.

Srdíčko mi puká,při tomhle upřímném vyznání,pláču při tom vyznání ❤😢❤

뒤늦게 그를 알게 되었지만 이분의 노래는 많은 위안을 주는군요! 훌륭한 재능의 예술가 ! 위대하다

I discovered Mr. Cohen far too late in my life, when he was about to leave us, but I have been ever since a true fan of his deep, fascinating voice and his gangster-like look wearing those old fashioned hats that were his trademark...We'll never forget you, Mr. Cohen. Argentina is still mourning over you !

I doubt Leonard Cohen would be anything other than amused by all the debate about Judaism vs. Christianity. I think his great genius as a poet is the way in which he combines the religious and the secular in his metaphors and images. This "metaphysical" (ref. 17th century poets like John Donne) integration of the sacred and the profane relies first of all on his really intimate knowledge of the Hebrew bible. I have been a Cohen fan for as long as he's been around and I still am. Read some of the very early poems. Just brilliant. If you haven't watched k.d. lang singing this one, with him in the audience, I recommend it. Thank you, Mr. Leonard Cohen.

Thank you to Leonard Cohen for the wonderful words and music.

Thank you Leonard for this Song. Rest in Peace

A last cold and broken hallelujah for you Leonard, you have pleased the Lord with your music

My husband chose this for his funeral, gave me goosebumps then, and still now, can't believe it's almost 4 years 😢😢😢

Even Gods loved ones..King David! The Lord God loves you too. You can feel him!

At 69 and cured of pancreatic cancer 4 years ago. I sob every time I hear this beautiful song. I am an atheist, but feel so connected to life and humanity when I hear it. Peace and love to all.

This song has touch heart in so many ways... I have heard ir during all my life. It's important to me. Have a peaceful trip Mr Cohan.

"He's never fought us. Not us united."

Easily one of the most beautiful songs ever written

You can just sing a song, or feel a song. And this is overall feeling ❤

Hearing it in march 2020 in quarantine in Italy with tears in my eyes, let's hope with this splendid song...

This is what a song with the utmost of feeling and heart sounds like! R.I.P. Mr. Cohen!

Incredible performance! Just breathtaking to me.

"There was a time you let me know what's really going on below... but now you don't even show it to me do you"

I miss you, Mr. Cohen...

When you encounter a masterpiece, it's always hard to imagine that the world once existed without it.

I deeply appreciate Leonard's work. This song was in the making for seventeen years, more than 100 different scripts till it came down to this. RIP Leonard Cohen ❤

There is a "God above", he is the Lord, and Hallelujah is the the Hebrew word meaning; Praise the Lord, as "Hallelu" is praise and "Jah" is the Lords name, Psalms 68:4.

The world has lost giant, a genius, and a fine man. Leonard Cohen, aged 82 passed away, apparently today. He was best known as a composer, but also wrote novels and numerous poetry collections. Most people will remember him popularly as the composer of this song, "Hallelujah", covered by many artists, and used in a number of popular films, including "Shrek", "Meet Joe Black", and television's "E.R.". For me, music I've enjoyed by a particular artist evokes the fond memories that come with the memory of that person, or others you enjoyed the music with, Leonard Cohen's rendition of "Hallelujah" with over 41 million views, a very popular rendition. Rest in peace and Shalom, Mr. Cohen, your music made me think of you as a friend, though we never met. You will live on in the memories of millions of people. The memory of you will be as a blessing for many.

Leonard Cohen R.I.P.

"It's a cold, and it's a broken hallelujah." Only someone who has lived the ups and downs of life can write words like that.

This was my first time hearing him sing this song about one month ago. I love❤ the expression and life he puts it the words. I have heard several for many years. This one I love❤ will not listen to any other😊😊😊

There have been 1000 covers, but this is the original and it touches my soul like no other.

Rest in peace dear Leonard. We do really care for music, and we always will, thanks to you and your talent. Goodbye :'(
