Dance Me to the End of Love - By Leonard Cohen Arrangement - Assaf Talmudi Kanun - Ariel Qassis Violin and Vocals - Keren Tannenbaum Double Bass - Gilad Abro Percussion - Erez Mounk Arranging
Thank you for this beautiful performance. We are so in need of songs like this to help us retain hope in this dark time. I'm listening to it in the aftermath of the horrific slaughter of all those many people in Israel. And now the war has begun in Gaza. Leonard Cohen plucked out an image that came to him of a violin burning in Auschwitz, and he transformed it into this song in praise of life that prevails in defiance of death. May it ring out as a prayer.
BEAUTIFUL! VERY AUTHENTIC VERSION, VERY ROMANTIC AND EMOTIONAL. I'VE HEARD THIS SONG MANY TIMES BUT THIS TIME IT FELT LIKE HEARING IT THE VERY FIRST TIME.
This is such a beautiful song performed brilliantly - listening to this how can this destruction on Gaza be allowed to continue - what has the world become?
What spirit is it that inspires "leaders" to bring death, destruction , pain and fear to their own people? And again what spirit is it that inspires Leonard Cohen to compose and sing from his soul the great gentle power of human love?😊

L.Cohen has probably related to the violins which accompanied the innocent Jewish people on their to the crematorium. History repeats itself.Evil and cruelty still prevail.
You know, you don't need to be religious, at least not in the sense of adhering to a particular religious creed, to appreciate and be touched by this song. But it does help to understand the lyrics' biblical and historical references. It is ultimately about the power of life and covenantal love to overcome the ravages of evil and death.
