Lyrics:
I was always working steady
But I never called it art
I got my shit together
Meeting Christ and reading Marx
It failed my little fire
But it’s bright the dying spark
Go tell the young messiah
What happens to the heart
There’s a mist of summer kisses
Where I tried to double-park
The rivalry was vicious
The women were in charge
It was nothing, it was business
But it left an ugly mark
I’ve come here to revisit
What happens to the heart
I was selling holy trinkets
I was dressing kind of sharp
Had a pussy in the kitchen
And a panther in the yard
In the prison of the gifted
I was friendly with the guards
So I never had to witness
What happens to the heart
I should have seen it coming
After all I knew the chart
Just to look at her was trouble
It was trouble from the start
Sure we played a stunning couple
But I never liked the part
It ain't pretty, it ain't subtle
What happens to the heart
Now the angel’s got a fiddle
The devil’s got a harp
Every soul is like a minnow
Every mind is like a shark
I’ve broken every window
But the house, the house is dark
I care but very little
What happens to the heart
Then I studied with this beggar
He was filthy, he was scarred
By the claws of many women
He had failed to disregard
No fable here no lesson
No singing meadowlark
Just a filthy beggar guessing
What happens to the heart
I was always working steady
But I never called it art
It was just some old convention
Like the horse before the cart
I had no trouble betting
On the flood, against the ark
You see, I knew about the ending
What happens to the heart
I was handy with a rifle
My father’s .303
I fought for something final
Not the right to disagree - Hudba

Hi 😭😭😭
When you're depressed..put on some Cohen. He'll assure you, he'll walk with you. And, you'll make it through. That's what Cohen does. Still does. The Master lives.
Well put! Honey for the soul.
Thanks to all his beautiful music, he is always here with us ❤
👌❤
I love to speak with Leonard; he's a sportsman and a shepherd.
its not depressing, I don't understand how just being a soul, with weather, is sad all the time?
We all go through emotions. It's a part of life.
Embrace sadness, thats what Cohen did. But he had other emotions as well. Like the rest of us.
He's letting us into his "closet", like King David in the Psalms.
Its pretty darn cool if you ask me!
To continue, sadness, like any common emotion we go through, is OK. As long as you don't stay there.
Everyone associates Cohens music with "depression"??? That in itself is sad!
So being a human with one emotion, is the only state one is in?
Cohens music gives me unspeakable Joy!
He was real with his words, never mincing them, never shying away from what he felt.
Wasn't meant to seem "sad", just real!
Not many people get real enough. This is why I find Joy in his music/poetry.
Cheer up. Life is about going through many things. Go through them. Get to the other side!
There has never been someone who describes a human soul better than Leonard Cohen
Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?
~Terry Pratchett🌹
That’s so thoughtful of you🥰 Is this your favorite song?
walking with bare feet is a symbol of spiritual connection with nature and suffering, like Jesus.

Hello Nina
I just finished reading his biography (Sylvie Simmons) and I highly recommend to anyone who loves his music. It's a long read but really good! Lots of people cooperated with it, including Leonard himself.
I always come here to revisit, what happens to the heart.
I've listened to you for 50 years, I miss you. You will always live in my heart. You have been the metronome of my life.
There will never be another Leonard Cohen.
🙏❤️🌏🌿🕊🎵🎶🎵
Heaven has Leonard Cohen and David Bowie. Earth has Roger Waters! ❤❤
The painful honesty of this song is from beyond the ego defense line. The question it askes is not about "right or wrong" but rather: "can I feel anything after all". Truly profound. Leonard was far more than a brilliant artist.
Yes You can.😁
@@MERWACHOCKAAndrzej-zc7elyou cannot just speak for other's inner conflicts😂
I can't watch this without tearing up. It's a bit of an anthem for those of us who feel ""too deeply".
Hello Laurie, that’s nice to hear from you
Is this your favorite song ???
It's not my favorite song, but I like it a lot. The reason it makes me tear up is because it's like a closing statement by Mr. Cohen on his life and his career.
I always come back to this video, it has something magical
I remember being amazed in the 60's that so many local singers and musicians thought he was weird or didn't know about him at all, when I was learning Suzanne, Sisters of Mercy, Dress Rehearsal Rag and Priests. There was such a deep sorrow in his music, yearning for the same simplicity others enjoyed in their lives but seeing, thinking, feeling too much. If you listen to anything of his, listen to "God is Alive, Magic Is Afoot". The man was a philosophical lyric genius. We shall never hear his like again.
Diese Musik wurde für mich gemacht. ❤
" and you'll be hearing from me baby, long after i'm gone"
Leonard Cohen in tower of song, 1988
posthumous offering. evidentiary enlightenment.
perfect
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Liking because of your picture 👌🏻

When I hear Leonard's voice, I picture a stupendous lion that walks slowly and sings. 🦁
What a Beautiful depiction
Now this is all i see...
And occasionally roars, too just to reaffirm his reign over the universe of music&poetry

Nailed it. Thank you.
I for some reason feel really good about the fact that people don't know this song yet. It's not on TikTok, it's not on radio, not playing in clubs, not in my face thrown by society. I do not share this with my friends, nor do I add it to my playlists. I visit this song by my own, with an intent of peace. It is worship to me.
I cherish it alone again, and again, and again, everytime, unlocking a new meaning of the same lines.
That is the most wonderful insight into the power of real music. I agree totally. This is like a private prayer. Its beauty is its ability to move emotion from the dark to the light.
It looks like midnight city m83😮
You made me picture a DJ spinning this song at a nightclub 😂
Finding different meaning to the same lyrics hit me ❤
Every soul is like a minnow
The world's proven to be a darker place without this man.
It's clear now that a lifetime wasn't enough, for all that this man had to share with the world.
Dimitris Politis bullshit pretentious song

For a true, soul-deep artist like him, a lifetime is never enough
@@mitsosjop You can listen to Gucci Mane instead, if you prefer.
“'Suffering has led me to wherever I am....Suffering has made me rebel against my own weakness." - Leonard Cohen
Yes, sufferings help us get out of illusions.
Cohen was extremely sensitive and his painful experiences helped his soul make a resistance. It was necessary to detach soul from mind which leads us astray and connect with God's words to understand the truth. Saint Spirit is power to the soul. The only freedom and happines is in God. Through Jesus. He is the first, the strongest and the most high. Son of God. OBEDIENT . He accomplished :all commandments.
Then, no more sufferings, pure joy and happiness.
The wounds of Jesus heal us and cure us.
God bless his soul with utmost blessings.
Love to all♥️

Very beautiful indeed.
Leonard is an absolute gift, but we are losing type this art in this age its sad
Leonard is immortal. His words are timeless. They will live on forever..
Cohen is so good that after hearing one of his songs i feel the need for silence
o poeta em definitivo
AMEN
This is a damn truth! Sometimes its a stunned silence, sometimes you just need to think and other times you just need to crawl into a corner and lick your wounds.
Maybe you need to just sit and ...

That's exactly what I'm sitting in right now, silence after this beautiful song.
Lenoard was a Canadian Jew from Montreal. I had ALL of his songs memorized by 14 years of age. I am a Canadian Jew from BC, Vancouver Island (the oldest synagogue in Canada). Z'L Mr. Cohen.

Из 2,2 тыс комментариев за 11 мес. нашел всего порядка 40 от русскоязычных пользователей и решил добавить свой на русском. Неожиданно нашёл этот клип среди рекомендованных и решил послушать, так как был удивлён незнакомому названию. Музыка и голос завораживают с самого начала. К концу произведения от слёз уже расплывался экран. Наверное, что-то случилось с сердцем...
Очень красивое произведение, играющее на струнах души. Рекомендую всем слушать с хорошей аккустикой или в наушниках. Видеоряд показался сначала странным, но после нескольких прослушиваний и чтения переводов я понял, что видеоряд уместный. Огромная благодарность Маэстро и последователям, которые дали нам возможность услышать его голос и пережить за 5 минут жизнь автора. Спасибо ребятам Sergey Filat и Alexander Delphinov за красивые переводы. Достойный перевод можно сделать, только прожив жизнь автора хотя бы по известным фактам жизни Леонарда Коэна и из книги 'Beautiful Losers', которую наверное мало кто читал даже в переводе на русский.
RIP Leonard 🙏
Можете поделиться информацией? Что-то никак не складывается картинка..
А о чё книга в крации ???
Thank you!
Мир вам! Как замечательно показано очищение Души слой за слоем, и перед обрывом- ВОЗНЕСЕНИЕ!!! ❤ Всем желаю постичь ЭТО!
The most brilliant lyricist and poet of our generation. He never sold out and he never told us how we should feel. We felt it. We’ll always feel it. Long lives the spirit of Cohen.
Well said. I will go further and say of any generation.
Best comment forever whatever...
Beautifully said
Absolute legend.
In French brillant or magique or simplement beau!
Those two lines " In the prison of the gifted, I was friendly with the guards" .....
I am curious, what do you think it meant?
That line is so striking and poignant, it takes me aback and gives me chills every time. I'm not sure what others or Leonard meant by it, to me it suggests a sort of mercenary aspect to making it as an artist, leaving behind friends and peers, as well as feeling trapped by that fame and celebrity, which seems to fit Leonard's retreat to Hydra. Or maybe the prison of the gifted is in the person so gifted or cursed with such intelligence and sensitivity as to be lonely and alienating and painful, even in obscurity, and being friendly with the guards means being able to play nice, be charming, and sort of fake being like other people to get along in life, and feeling like you're betraying your true self (the other prisoners?) in your social and professional life and its personae. It's a startlingly unflattering and sinister image. But it also harkens back to recurrent references to the Shoah/Holocaust on this pair of albums (especially prominently from "You want it Darker"'s refrain: "a million candles burning" and verse "They're lining up the prisoners and the guards are taking aim/I struggled with some demons/they were middle class and tame/I didn't know I had permission to murder and to maim" and evoked within this own song's stark last couplet (a contrasting image of the poet and his father as partisan/Jewish rebels", ready to shoot those same guards.
But of course one of the major features of great art or literature is that it inspires different interpretations and I would like to see what other people think too.
@@fractiousperson303 Thank you so much Ian for writing this detailed explanation. It seems like you have gotten the exact interpretation as I thought. I would stress more on 1st and 2nd explanation that you brought up. Yes, gifted people are hell lot different and 'cursed' with so much of intelligence and sensitivity as to be more and more alienated from society. They are immersed in their own world of thoughts and ideas to outwardly appear as strange and unusual. Normal people think positivity means you ignore and shy away from pains and agony of being alone. Truth is, brains in those gifted individuals work in a completely different frequency and doesn't match with the common people. So they feel alone even when surrounded by crowd. That's what Leonard Cohen meant I guess when he said 'In the prison of gifted'. But still you live in a society and want to be accepted , so you behave in an acceptable way to match the normal people's frequency. That's where the phrase comes " I was friendly with the guards".

Never was a hardcore fan bc I never listened to all his songs. But lately I did. And I must confess - he revived my dormant soul. Leonard Cohen is more than a songwriter/poet. He shall remain magical.

This video perfectly describes how our lives should be lived: in peace, contemplating nature. Pushing away many of our crappy, useless, inner battles that drain our positive energies. Then, the fear will disappear and we'll turn into humans, once again. Leonard is a Master life.

Коэн -- гений. Меня потрясла эта как бы баллада о человеке , нашедшем выход из тупика, когда жить дальше нет сил и незачем...Можно -- " уйти в Нирвану", без возврата. Но это требует большой силы
воли...Завидую тем, кто может... Мальчик(?) "смог" и ушёл . Мне -- не дано. Поэтому медленно тлею ...Здесь. Вот такая трактовка этой гениальной композиции Коэна.
Вы так правы. Не всем дано так уйти в другую жизнь. Получилось тонко, деликатно, проникновенно. Потрясло до глубины души и даже до слез.

I just saw a new Leonard Cohen video pop up when opened CZcams right now... I couldn't believe my eyes... Is this a dream? And then, this? What happens to the heart? Mine feels like it's just been hit by a truck. In a good way. Thank you, Leonard..
Still here in 2024- Who elese, who by fire?
Take your heart and run. There is always a way of es ape, and God will honner you and repair you if you're willing there is always hope in him.And he will repair your heart.❤ Why live a loveless life.He will send you someone into your life who will truly love you.

You people just ignore everything by shoving your religion in everything😂

No-one is fully dead until forgotten about. Mr Leonard Cohen will live for a long, long time ahead.
I have said that before, and will keep repeating.
Leonard Cohen the Einstein of deep thought. Einstein looked deep into the language of the universe while Leonard gives a glimpse deep into the human soul. Each equally as infinite.
Well said.💙💎☔
True True
Leonard put the essence of humanity into words. A prophet of our troubled times. A gift from God himself.
Nice.
Doesn't he feel like an oasis of good, soulful music surrounded by 21st-century pop desert?
Sure does
For me it should end " Then I understood I'm a drop of the endless cosmic ozean and I walked my path in silence. That happens to my heart"
Once again we must bow our heads to Leonard's genius and be thankful to hear his voice.
And Mr. Cohen is God.
@Tyler Morales You may well be right,I may be insane.However Mr.Cohens poetic genius is of rare variety and recognising that is an acceptable act ,an act of thankfulness and gratitude for the depth of a God given humanity.
@@ericanderson1593 Cohen would not appreciate being called a GOD.
This newly released Leonard Cohen song “Happens to the Heart“ caused me to tear up the first time I heard it, I’m glad that there is still some unreleased music of his that’s still being released. R.I.P. Leonard Cohen you were an amazing artist who understood the human condition quite well, and you were probably the last of your time.
It seems it was too early for us to miss him. Every bit of him which can be recalled is magic.
The one, the only
yes true , it tear me up too. Beautiful beyond words . Lovely vid too. Thank you Leonard , R.I.P
Thanks LC miss you ❤😭
Невероятно, до слёз!!!Аризона
This is the end of the song Leonard wasn’t telling you:
It falls in love, it bleeds and breaks
Until it breaks apart.
It turns lonely, cold and dark
That’s - what happens to the heart.
Thank you Leonard !
Beautiful.
The heart heals all wounds.
But Magic would not tarry
It moves from arm to arm
It would not stay with them
Magic is afoot
It cannot come to harm
It rests in an empty palm
It spawns in an empty mind
But Magic is no instrument
Magic is the end

I stood there at a distance
not a step beyond the start
A pain arises in my belly
and l release one final fart.
Sorry Mr Cohen isn't mortal.
I designed Leonards hummingbird. We were friends. I had a dream after he passed. We were in a forest. I was with some friends outside a trailer. He came over and asked if I wanted something to eat. As we walked away he turned to me and started talking and talking. Telling me important things I can't remember. (my father once came to me in a dream and did the same thing) After he finished talking he said it was time for him to return. I walked with him along the path....just like the one in the video and we talked together. Then I had to stop and he continued just like in this video. At the end of the path I saw a bright green field in sunlight. This video is phenomenal. Dianne V. Lawrence

Even deceased, Leonard Cohen makes better music than ANY so-called "artists" who are still alive.

This song is so deep is resonates with me. We all have been through break ups and being dumped by people we loved. Devastating. Leonard makes it into poetry.
This man knows how to convert the language of the heart to the language of the mind.
Bravo is so right
I remember driving with my old boss to London and as we were driving he put a Leonard Cohen CD on, I said who is this, he said a genius just listen.. I said it sounds crap it's just some bloke talking, he said in his Irish accent you don't know what your talking about.. I'm happy to admit how wrong I was 10 to 12 years later I absolutely love listening to his music his art and voice pure legend and so much more to give, he opens your soul and you have to watch
I would pretty much slap you if you said that to my face! LMAO. But yeah, there is something going on there that we tend to appreciate music we used to despise the older we grow
Ничего себе, шедевр. Я где живу то? Спасибо и низки поклон автору канала.
My brother used to call me "Suzie" (which was a shortened form of Suzanne). Cohen helped us grow up. From that sweet little Suzanne to this girl who's trying to stand strong after losing everything, I grew up. We all grew up. With his voice, with his words.
I really think Leonard Cohen was one of the best poets/singer songwriters of all time
A very weak poet (off of the page) but a good songwriter apart from his obsession with metaphor.
@@thomascarlyle6117 I really like his poem "I Have Not Lingered in European Monasteries"

The song generally talks about the elevation from a material life (human love , work , material things ) to a spiritual life where you don't attach your heart to things that go away (mortal,that dies...) . Well at least this is what I understood , the part of the rifle thats what happens when you lock your heart to love material things . While when loving spiritually , your soul will fly .
This song has two meaning if not many but it depends on the listener mood , emotions , and perception .
what happens to the heart depends on how you chose to elevate
I agree, thank you, for me this is often the reason of Leonards songs
I'm glad he got to achieve transcendence in the end. We all must take that long solitary walk through the forest, the darkest night of our lives, and make it out alive, before we can truly rise to our calling. Beautiful video, music, lyrics. Such a gifted light we lost.
Wonderfully said.
Leonard towering over everyone from the grave. I can't believe we get another album of stuff like this. What a gift. Bless your soul!

As a man who is mainly into rap and hip hop music I dont understand why Leonard Cohen seems to resonate though my soul and I genuinely love his music so much. RIP a true legend
Leonard's words speak to the same emotions that rap and hip hop do, all there is is a stylistic difference.
The funk is in the poetry, man.
because great rap and hip hop are great poetry, and so you would love Leonard Cohen because he is a great poet - and all of these tell deep truths.
@Varg Smexernikernes right there with you.
Illmatic a album by the Rapper Nas - is the closest thing to Leonard Cohen level poetry. If the streets had a poetic voice Nas absolutely spoke it
I wonder why some people have clicked on "dislike". What is there to dislike? The video, the music, the voice, the lyrics? Or simply idiots that have not bothered listening to the song?
The right to disagree? Or just trying to be disagreeable? We don't know. There are those who thumb down everything, in u-tube as in real life. What happened to their hearts?
I don’t know. I’m not sure I like the video. I don’t know what it means, I don’t know if it’s a man or a woman or ???, the person disrobes, and then puts on a robe, and then levitates? Er, what? Great song, but the video didn’t work for me. However, I did not “dislike it” at all. It’s Leonard, so it’s magic.
@@podbay exactly!!!! I love every word, rhyme,song(and i mean anything) that comes out of Leonard Cohen's mouth.
Yet,the video didn't work for me either.
I even skipped to the end,to see if there's a point to it....
Why does this bother so many people? We don't have to agree in everything, that's it. Maybe Leonard would agree?
God that’s powerful
I think this is Leonard Cohen saying ‘I’m cracked, I’m not perfect, I’ve messed up, I’m just a human being, struggling’ - and in truth that’s what most of us are…
But that doesn’t deny the beauty of his work, and of life. An incredibly poignant and touching piece… We each continue our search for the elusive something of life…

Hello all..I’m 73 summers old now and not quite ready to part just yet, but L’s memorable and so relevant past words of being so lightly here and hoping the ending not being too uncomfortable, these parting words from this incredibly eloquent writer of verse and song has somehow conspired within me to accept that my departure may not be that far away...and he has helped allay any fears I may have previously had.But without an urgent change of heart and behaviour from all we humans..life on this planet for most living things may be grossly curtailed as a result of not caring enough for each other and the natural beauty of this world we all share! Thank you Mr Cohen for all your words of wisdom and safe journey to wherever you hoped to go and the writers guild that surely must await you there.. Bon Voyage! X
No grave can hold this being down. He travels to us who are open enough to bring more of what he always did. Truth, light.
I will never be without Leonard Cohen. He bonded me with my father. He bonded me with life. This man has sung the words that tell my story and I will miss him. Always.

Heaven is hanging low today
I'm going somewhere I've never been.. I'm here in front looking at me and I'm feeling getting somewhere I've never been
Voz misteriosa, que habla y susurra sus canciones, impregna los corazones y nunca morirá. Leonard Cohen era muy especial, atemporal, único e inimitable.
