LYRICS:
I can make the hills
The system is shot
I'm living on pills
For which I thank G-d
My animal howls
My angel’s upset
But I'm not allowed
A trace of regret
For someone will use
The thing I could not be
My heart will be hurt impersonally
She’ll step on the path
She’ll see what I mean
My will cut in half
And freedom between
For less than a second
Our lives will collide
The endless suspended
The door open wide
And she will be born
To someone like you
What I left undone
She will certainly do
I know she is coming
And I know she will look
And that is the longing
And this is the hook
I can’t make the hills
The system is shot
I'm living on pills
For which I thank G-d
My page was too white
My ink was too thin
The day wouldn’t write
What the night penciled in
But I know she is coming
And I know she will look
And that is the longing
And this is the hook
(I know she is coming)
And I know she will look
(that is the longing)
And this is the hook
I can make the hills
The system is shot
I'm living on pills
For which I thank G-d
I sailed like a swan
I sank like a rock
But time is long gone
Past my laughingstock
And I can make the hills
The system is shot
I'm living on pills
For which I thank G-d
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.
The Master lives!
He once said, "But you'll be hearing from me baby, long after I'm gone". I'm glad he kept his promise.
From the tower of song
Pure beauty 🙏

Great comment man
It's actually up to you
Leonard Cohen died but is not forgotten ❤❤❤
I see a song by Leonard Cohen I click play a thousand times.
wachalookingfour A thousand kisses deep...
#me too
I just click "LOOP"
Me Too! It is the perfect martini of real+hope+Love+shadows+Light and the drunk is the transcen-dance!
It’s a drug
Saw him live in Liverpool....... the 70 odd year old geezer skipped onto the stage in a beautiful suit with a fabric matching trilby, bare foot onto a Persian rug..........and sang...........and stunned everyone there.
Magical.......... R I P Lenny
I was there.
what a gig hey Col@@ColinHamer1
When I understand his lyrics, they're brilliant. When I don't, they're brilliant. Cohen was the closest friend I never had.
You seem pretty brilliant yourself :)
I feel the same way you do. ❤️ - ❤️ - ❤️
Amen
Ya
I have had exactly the same thought. Many of his songs are so personal to him it is hard to clearly know what he is expressing, yet his lyrics burn themselves into your brain. It is often as if each subsequent word or phrase, is the perfect one for the occasion. I am not good at remembering lyrics, but it seems impossible to forget his
Jest 4 w nocy, jego głos sprawia, że moje serce spowalnia, po całodzienny dniu stresu polskiej rzeczywistości. Ten cudowny artysta wprowadza mnie w inny świat, w moim sercu na zawsze to mój anioł. Tylko on sprawia, że mogę zasnąć w otoczeniu muzyki która sprawia, że odpływam w inny świat. Moim marzeniem jest spotkać go w innym lepszym świecie. W świecie w którym jest miłość i dobroć. No i jego cudowny głos i wrażliwość. Do zobaczenia później mój ukochany Leonardzie 😊
This song touches me so deeply. My dad passed away last July and we didn't say goodbye, but this song sounds like something he'd leave me behind with. "What I left undone, she will certainly do." It's such a powerful line and gives me a feeling of strength and hope.
It is so masterfully done, it sounds like a dance between life and death, joy and grief, hope and despair. But ends perfectly combining the two. I am in awe!
Rest in peace Leonard, I bet you and my dad are great friends up there.
@Chakra Zero wow, that's beautiful. Thank you ❤️
Here I go again.....I still can't listen to The Master without crying... Especially now the world is falling apart, we need his wisdom, his Beauty, his Poetry, his Voice, his Comfort. Mister Cohen understood all our feelings and he wasn't afraid to speak the truth about politics, humanrelations, etc. And now, he is still speaking to us, he's still here for us..
But the pain of him being gone, when will that go away? Maybe I'm just crazy.... But This was such a special Gentleman...
And we are "The Broken Hearted many, the Open Hearted few..."
Thanks for the songs, Mr.Cohen, thanks for a way of living....
About the clip: it's perfect, it's in the style of the master, thank you makers.....
Blessed Be and be safe everyone...;

keep calm and chill bro
AltheaHekate . A little gushy but, yeah, he’s great.
Same here. Ever since his death, I cried everytime whenever I listened to his songs.
Me too. I feel he is around ...

👍🏿❤️😊👌🏾🌟🥰
The singer who almost never sings. Legend.
He sings but it's in the D2-A2 range whispering so it sounds a bit like talking
There will never be another Leonard Cohen.... so beautiful
We are so lucky to have him !
I can't make the hills

What the night penciled in
But I know she is coming…
*I can make the hills* according to the official lyrics.
I noticed one mistake. The line should read, "My heart will be hers impersonally"
"I've seen the future, brother, It is murder"... When I heard that in 90's I felt that that was not a poetic vision but a prophecy.
U were correct!
My animal howls
My angel's upset
But I'm not allowed
A trace of regret
Mario Andrés .. had he allowed himself a trace of regret ~ what poetry would we now read? Would it be better or would it be worse or neither? Would it just BE...? And the answer to that is... obviously, it’s up to Me!
One of my regrets never seeing in concert.
I got into Leonard Cohen late. My brother gifted my mother one of his later CD's and all the years of not wanting to hear Cohen disappeared and suddenly I listened and became a fan.
Ironically both my brother and mother have passed on and that one album means more to me now. It was my doorway with an open mind and ive been collecting ever since.
I sailed like a swan
I sank like a rock
But time is long gone
Past my laughingstock
And i can make the hills
The system is shot
I am living on pills
For which i thank God
One particular detail I noted about this song’s music video is that despite the man’s depressed/somber look on his face, he continues walking towards his goal (“the hills”) anyway, even when it looks impossible for him. That is pure meaningful right there.
Д д
"What I left undone, she will certainly do..." What a line!
Yeah that one really got to me
Reminds me of that Dylan lyric from it takes alot to laugh it takes a train to cry when he says if I don't make it you know my baby will.
For many years, I feel as if something is holding me back from understanding Leonard Cohen. Is it my intellect, lack of experience, lack of maturity, age or something else? Even though you are no longer with us, I promise you that I will not stop trying to understand you. Thank you, Master.
relax
“While giving me head, on that unmade bed. You said you preferred handsome men...but for me you would make an exception.”
He wrote those words about a true giant in his field (Janice Joplin), As a true giant in his field. The Chelsea Hotel #2. I really feel that song more than any other explains him perfectly.
Depends on your are. If you're under 30, give it some time...
Don't try to understand with your mind.. understand with your heart. Just close your eyes and open your soul...That's when the Magic will happen...
Blessed Be,
Althea )0(
@@DarkOps2442 really? Lol! Yes, I think everyone understand that line!;) . But I know what she means.. I think you don't have to try to understand the lyrics with your mind. But with your soul....
These songs guided me through my life even if I didn't fully understand the meaning or meanings because it's so personal. Songs I listened when I was 18, now seem to have a different meaning....
Even the studied professors argue about the lyrics but they all forgot 1 thing: it's the life from Mr Cohen, only he knows... and we know if we close our eyes and listen to our souls...
You made me langs today with your example, thank you for that!
Blessed Be,
Althea )0(
I met the master
years ago in L.A. Was the thrill of a lifetime. Two Canadians chatting about Montreal over coffee in Starbucks. Hallelujah.
Good for you! Wow.
Wow... you are so blessed.... I wouldn't dare to have spoken a word to him, I guess... I only wish I could have thanked him once, for making the Journey of life with me in his songs and poems because there is always a song of love, hope, despair to guide us.
So: thanks for the Songs Mr Cohen...
Blessed Be,
Althea )0(
Someone like Leonard Cohn Never Dies he lives on in our hearts forever down the generations who have yet to discover what a Humble sincere genuine human being he was❤❤❤
In my opinion Leonard Cohen is the greatest songwriter of all time. There have been many ' Greats ' but none so great as Lenny.
This newly released Leonard Cohen song “The Hills“ caused me to tear up the first time I heard it, I’m glad that there is still some unreleased music of his that was recently 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.
There's an entire album published after his passing, this is a song from it. The album is called "Thanks for the Dance"
Me too!💔a voice to tell TRUTH 🎈,I cry,n I listen,I learn.,,n cry again.........✌️
Yep!💔
Alessandro Vittoria Thank you, I have the album, the entire album caused me to tear up when I first heard it. He was such an amazing artist, who had a way with words like no other
Well said! 💔
I'm still crying that means there is hope for us.
The legendary Canadian poet and songwriter shows his brilliance once again. Rest in peace, Leonard Cohen. 🇨🇦
The weariness, tempered with hope..
Beautiful. Xx
This is a hug we all need right now.
Thank you.
Even in Death his VOICE still LIKE a Thunderbolt
to my Soul.
His voice can never be Duplicated.
Special, magical, deep ... Intellect, soul, voice, charm, charisma ...
To the end endlessly...♥️
Dance me to the end of love
Voice of my past and present and in this new song.....future. The world misses you.
I got the chills the entire video.... Held back my tears.... I love his afterlife videos his children put together.
For me, it's about the hope for hope. The remembering of what we lost, what was left behind, yet keeps beating in our heart. Same can be said about Faith.
Still alive in my ears ❤️
5:10 am in Argentina and Leonard Cohen magically appears again! For less than a second, our lives will collide! Thank you for the beauty master.
Lo mismo por este lado...desde Mendoza
It's just a fairy tale.
"Nay, then, thus:
We came into the world like brother and brother;
And now let's go hand in hand, not one before another."
(Exeunt)
Life at the end in loneliness, love and loss and loneliness again but acceptance of life's emptiness no heading for the hills good bye Leonard Good night. RIP
There is HOPE, always hope whether we can or can’t make the hills. Our ability or inability to do so is separate from the quiet yet consistent insistence of sacred hope 💓
YES to this.
That's awesome. 👌 such wonderful words to live by.
Mrb
@@azatcetinkaya2141 .. Mrb?
@@azatcetinkaya2141 .. mrb...yes, it’s coming 💗🙏x
Your spirit haunts our halls long after you’re gone. And everlastingly grateful for your appearance
Just discovered these songs today. He has saved my life and sanity and still continues to do so. I will incarnate into any world where Leonard is gifting us his the beauty and wisdom of his music.
Such poetry. He is missed.
🌿AWESOME!!!🍀I very like voice dear Leonard!He will always have a place in my heart!🍃Thank you very much!🍀Lithuania.🇱🇹
Hello Leonard Cohen ✌️
Thank you for the music🙏
I used to comment in English but since its not my mother language I can't express what I feel exactly, así que comentaré en español, lengua que me enorgullezco en compartir con el poeta andaluz García Lorca.
El maestro Cohen tiene una forma de armar sus palabras, de construir el texto, que uno pudiera pensar que el mismísimo Cantar de los Cantares es de su autoría.
Ahora, enfrentado a esta canción, no puedo evitar sentirme conmovido por el arrastrar de su voz, por ese canto que es prácticamente un recitado.
Una voz cálida pero dolorosa.
¡Gracias, Leonard Cohen, por tanta belleza!
Абсолютно согласна, Леонард Коэн - одно из самых лучших чудес, что с нами случились в этой нашей эпохе, в нашем времени, ОН - ГЕРОЙ НАШЕГО ВРЕМЕНИ!!!!
Уважаемая, с кем Вы согласны? О чем эта песня? Слов не понимаю а голос завораживает и я слушаю его. Переведите пожалуйста.

@@emilywandosen8472 спасибо🌷🌷🌷
@@emilywandosen8472 видео о загробной жизни,о словах ничего сказать не могу. Первые два дня душа умершего ходит по любимым и родным местам,а на третий день в сопровождение двух ангелов поднимается на небо. Потом будет 9 день и 40,но это другая история. Прости нас Господи!
Took my breath away!
Thank you for providing us continued access to his wisdom and beauty.
♥️🇨🇦♥️
Живеем в странен, необясним свят. В трудни моменти да си помагаме, да се уважаваме независимо от цветът на кожата. Природата е определила кой континент и какъв цвят да има. Всички сме хора на този свят! Текста на песента песента изразява истината от живота на даден човек. Поздравления! ❤️ 🇧🇬 ❤️ 🇧🇬 ❤️ 🇧🇬 🌻🌾🌷🌿🌹🌲🥀💓🍀☘️💐🎄🌲🌺🍀🌼☘️🌻🌿❤️🇧🇬❤️
I wish I had discovered this amazing poet when he was still alive..but either way I will enjoy his legacy so deserving of mighty recognition rest easy LC
Thanks Mr. Cohen. Again. And again. Picture you with Marianne on Hydra now. Saw this video three times now. First i was desperate, these apocalyptic scenes seemed so real right now. Second time i saw the small glimpses of hope in it. After the third time watching, i am now full of hope and calm. This too shall pass.
My heart beats faster when I hear this voice
The Hills.. I can -I can’t...
My page was too white
My ink was too thin
The day wouldn’t write
What the night penciled in
Beautiful lyrics
I know she is coming..
and I know she will look
And that is the longing
And this is the hook
I can make the Hills
I can’t-I can!!! Thanks Leonard RIP❤️🌺👌
The Visual Grammar of this Video reaches into your soul and gets so comfortable it’s scary
Amazing Song
Amazing Directing
Amazing Cinematography
This deserves a Motion Picture Award or at least a longer version
This album is the gift that keeps on giving thank you for this masterpiece rest in paradise Leonard
Amazing collection of statements of life by a true visionary. Thank You Maestro
Sr , Leonard Cohen,;! Tiene Una Voz Privilegiada, Y Sensual , Acaricia mi Alma , Oírle es Un Auténtico Privilegio
Quiero Oírle hasta los Últimos Instantes D mi Vida ,;! Un Auténtico Privilegio
Leonard Cohen, an excellent musician, poet, today bad music and musical tastes abound even more that moral values have been lost in people and in love. long live love, respect, peace and life.
This song brought tears to my eyes . A man keeping on until he meets his gosl
I meant to say goal.
I just love this man...I wish I'd have known him
Play this song along with the video of Happens to The Heart (sound turned off)...I LOVE THIS! Really goes together in a whole wonderful way....
“I followed the course
From chaos to art
Desire the horse
Depression the cart”
And that is the longing,
And this is the book.
@@praveensanap кщикщикщкщ
@@praveensanap "hook" not "book"
@@jtryan77 This is the first poem in Cohen's book called The Book of Loging.
And the poem ends like this.
@@praveensanap You are correct that Leonard Cohen had both a book and a poem called the "Book of Longing" (not Loging incidentally) that started off with the lyrics to this song. However, the song deviates from the poem quickly and the poem goes on for much longer. Unless you were going for a meta-reference (in which case I would applaud you), the lyrics to the song say "hook." Also, the poem does not end like you say; maybe tangentially at best:
"as I have found mine
where I´d never look:
in the threaded spine
of my Longing Book".
Regardless, pedantry aside, thank you for being a Leonard Cohen fan and caring enough to comment on his song. Any Leonard Cohen fan is a friend of mine.
One of the true poets, giant, pillar and cornerstone of music...in timeless time.
I don’t know how to say it any better than those words.
Ich hörte ihn zum ersten Mal 1969 in einem Club für progressive Musik und war sofort von seiner Musik fasziniert. Er begleitet mich seitdem mit seinen Songs bis heute. Danke Leonhard!
Wow....this song made me REALLY feel the emotion of of the story....I felt chills, sadness, and loneliness all in one 😱😭 it was beautiful. God rest his soul 😥😔🙏🙏🙏
Ah, the slow rot and high anxiety of contemporary life. No one captured it like Cohen.
This is Sara's husband Ronbo.....This short film is pretty dang good. And Leonard's poetry is always great. Good job there my friends.
What was Sara's position?
There is/was no better voice of humanity.
Tears of joy... tears of hope ..tears of longing...tears yearning for more ..
This is my favorite song from his new album, it just moves me in a way only Leonard can.
One more time the tears fall, A GREAT BIG THANK YOU MASTER COHEN.
shockingly out of this world. every time I listen to the great master Leonard Cohen I will find myself in my shell thinking about his words trying to digest them. then after a few hours it will be time to listen to another. this has been most part of my life since I've been 17. God bless his soul 🌹🌹🌹❤️
The Master always seems to be seeing the world through my eyes.
I can't make the hills, the system is shot. I am living on pills, for which I thank God. My page was too white, my ink was too thin. The day wouldn't write but the night pencil'd in.
What the night penciled in..
Cockeyed Optimista : That’s for you to decide
I love that he's carrying Leonard's fedora.
Leonard will never die ! Long Live Leonard!!!
