Lyrics:
If you are the dealer
I'm out of the game
If you are the healer
It means I'm broken and lame
If thine is the glory then
Mine must be the shame
You want it darker
We kill the flame
Magnified, sanctified
Be thy holy name
Vilified, crucified
In the human frame
A million candles burning
For the help that never came
You want it darker
Hineni, hineni
I'm ready, my Lord
There's a lover in the story
But the story's still the same
There's a lullaby for suffering
And a paradox to blame
But it's written in the scriptures
And it's not some idle claim
You want it darker
We kill the flame
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
You want it darker
Hineni, hineni
I'm ready, my Lord
Magnified, sanctified
Be thy holy name
Vilified, crucified
In the human frame
A million candles burning
For the love that never came
You want it darker
We kill the flame
If you are the dealer
Let me out of the game
If you are the healer
I'm broken and lame
If thine is the glory
Mine must be the shame
You want it darker
Hineni, hineni
Hineni, hineni
I'm ready, my Lord
Hineni
Hineni, hineni
Hineni

The creepiest thing is realising he wrote this when he knew he was dying. it's so apt for someone in his disease state. I feel him.... given in to the inevitival, but so much respect for never giving up and hiding his voice.. It makes me weep to know most of this album was recorded with him in his loungeroom chair...but SO grateful he gave us this! May his legend live on for many years!He is the grand master of poetry!

You might like Scott 4 or Tilt by Scott Walker. He was a near contemporary of Leonard Cohen who also died recently, and worked on similar aesthetics of pop, folk, and classical overlayed with dark, cryptically poetic lyrics.

@brianwade879 2 года назад

It does that ! I found this guy not long ago. November December 2019. Hit a rough patch ! Suddenly homeless. Temporarily staying Garfield Park. Not far from the Hawks practice arena. A home in a row of homes. It's cold out. I'm on the stoop ! Got my headphones on. And my phone just goes to sum .. next song. And it was this one. I stand out, on this block. I'm fair skinned, Those that live on this block are not. Once I hit play, he's singing deep, I've got the chills listening... And these gorgeous young ladies are walking back and forth, looking me over. What's this doing. What's he listening to ? Now they too, are sitting on the stoop. I'm half way through this song, and I guess I started to sing... I go grab a Bluetooth speaker 🔊 And I share what I'm listening to ... They must sing in church ! They pick up the back vocal , like immediately. I'm blown away ! These girls are singing background vocals, to Lenord Cohen !

@brianwade879 2 года назад

Just hearing Lenord they can just go to choir ! Yep ! I was awestruck ! After that fist night.. I went out on the stoop, each night, after that, playing through Lenord's hits. These gals singing. Met their parents. We talked. They took it upon themselves, to introduce me, to the block ! For November and December, down the block, we sang and danced ! Lenord Cohan, they sang vocals, and Tupac ! Ha ! Man.. it was great, for a little while. Thank you neighbors, on 2500 block. Just south of Madison. I was so moved, I went to Pete's. This Mother has 3 kids. They're bumping me with the cart. This Mother looks up at me.. like, sorry dude ! My kids.... Yeah ! She's getting wrung up.. looking at me like, why you still here ? I say... Dude, let me pick up her tab ! And, can I get one of those trees ? He looks at me like.. you good for this ? Yeah ! Go get a 🎄 tree. She's like "what are you doing" ? Strange white man ? I said, "can I pay for your groceries" ? She looks at me like, I spoke French or something. I said yeah ! Let me treat you, and the kids. As the store assistant is placing the groceries in car, I say, bring that Christmas tree ! I help strap it to her hood. The whole time, she's looking at me like ? I don't even know you ! Yeah. That's ok !

@brianwade879 2 года назад

Hope she had a good Christmas 🌲 Compliments of Lenord Cohan. He got in my head. Took another tree home to my daughter. She scowled ! Dad ! I don't need you dancing with my neighbors ! You have to go. Wow. By Garfield Park ! It was swell meeting you ! And, yes, the girls were in the choir ! Just a block away. They pulled me in ! Welcomed me. Man. Lenord Cohan meets Garfield Park ! 🕊️

The weird thing about this song(I don't know whether to call it a song or poem), is that it hits you. It doesn't matter whether you're Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Atheist, Hindu, Agnostic, or otherwise. I'm personally not religious, I have no god I believe in, and yet this song still hits me as hard as it hits my Jewish friend, and it hits all our friends the same. I see this as a testament to how powerful this song, and Leonard Cohen himself is.

@gitanaana 7 лет назад

I agree with you Brian ! My beloved long-lost friend Susan Brinckman in Montreal once rented Leonard her entire home- and moved out- so he could film "Beautiful Losers" . Maybe his songs can inspire us all though to take our own fading poems and lonely lives from the bottom shelf and refine them. By the way, what happened to Suzanne? His last letter to Marianne was very beautiful too- reaching out so he could "almost' touch her hand when she too was moving to the next dimension where he said he would soon be following. Happy they kept in touch... Listening over and over to Farewell Marianne and Suzanne, I wondered what his two beloveds looked like and saw pix here. I feel that Bob Dylan would gladly have wanted Leonard to have the Nobel Prize, At least they rushed Leonard's new CD out while he was still living. NAMASTE! - Ana ( sad sad about everything this past week! )

@MOGGS1942 7 лет назад

The BBC rescheduled their BBC Four Channel last night, repeating a 1988 programme which featured a live concert, interspersed with interview snippets and ending with a visit to his home on Hydra, Greece, which he purchased for $1,500.00 back in 1966. As I watched the great man perform on stage and interact with interviewer and neighbours on Hydra, it became so much clearer just why he was so adored by so many, and for so long. His death at 82 came as a real bolt out of the blue, to me anyway. I just assumed he would go on forever. I'm glad he passed our way, and that I was introduced to his music by a girl friend whose name just happened to be - Marianne. Best wishes to you Ana.

Dear Leonard, The first time you came to my attention was in the 1960s during an English lesson, when your poems were put up as an example of modern poetry in the English language. Later a friend played one of your albums and since then hardly a day has gone by that I have not listened to at least one of your tracks. Many people think your music is dark or depressing. But during times of depression and during long nights when sleep eluded, you have kept me company and lifted my spirits. For over fifty years, you have been the one constant, the soundtrack of my life. And now that you have joined your muse in that big concert hall of fame, I cannot be sad because your soul lives on in the music that keeps playing as an accompaniment to my life. Sleep well my friend.

His music is powerful because the Ego may not always understand the lyrics but the subconscious/higher spirited self knows truth. We came to this earth to experience duality and separation from eternal love. Something (not wholly human) had to provide that experience, in order to" kill the flame" of love/spirit. The ego feels victimized, the spirit knows it gave "permission".

im an old hippie. leonard is better than ever. the lyrics are chilling. to me, it is his conversation with god, and god's need for more human suffering. he says in hebrew at the end ''im ready''

Leonard saw it coming: You want it darker. . And he took his leave, wanting no part in it. Heading towards the light now the lucky fellow, to meet dear ones. Mr. Cohen, can you please from that Higher vantage point make a few kracks in the shell trapping us earthbound, so that some light may reach us, we need it . Thank you for all Lots of Love

If you are the dealer, I'm out of the game If you are the healer, it means I'm broken and lame If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame You want it darker We kill the flame Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name Vilified, crucified, in the human frame A million candles burning for the help that never came You want it darker Hineni, hineni I'm ready, my lord There's a lover in the story But the story's still the same There's a lullaby for suffering And a paradox to blame But it's written in the scriptures And it's not some idle claim You want it darker We kill the flame 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 You want it darker Hineni, hineni I'm ready, my lord Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name Vilified, crucified, in the human frame A million candles burning for the love that never came You want it darker We kill the flame If you are the dealer, let me out of the game If you are the healer, I'm broken and lame If thine is the glory, mine must be the shame You want it darker Hineni, hineni Hineni, hineni I'm ready, my lord Hineni Hineni, hineni Hineni

This is one of the best songs I've ever heard there is something seductively dark about it but maybe that is just me. Love the way Leonard sings, his voice is so deep and additionally it's as though he shares some of who he is with the listener. R.I.P. Leonard

@smartalek180 10 месяцев назад

Tho I'm sure there are others, I cannot think of any off the top of my head: A pop-star (maybe A-List, maybe just hi B-List?) from the 1960s - '70s who wasn't content to just rest on his laurels, doing endless Greatest-hits medleys to crowds of ancient fans desperately trying to keep some kind of hold on their long-faded youth... He was writing & performing some of his finest, deepest, most hypnotic, most powerful work right up to the very end. SO blessed to have had him.

"Hineni" is Hebrew for "Here I Am" usually used in the context of a conversation between a person and G0d. This presentation is purely spiritual. It touched me to the core. This is now my favorite of all Leonard Cohen's masterpieces which include Take This Waltz and Dance Me to the End of Love. He should win an award for this.
