Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, a Journey, a Song

00:01:20 COHEN: The word "Hallelujah," of course, is so rich.

00:05:41 And then they said, "He's going to sing too."

00:09:35 I mean, they all love you when you fall apart.

00:13:20 Leonard's songs felt cinematic to me.

00:17:23 went back to his hotel room,

00:21:26 I think that was the first time

00:27:00 he might have been the most famous producer in the world.

00:31:32 One of the reviews I was reading said that...

00:36:03 Endless variations.

00:40:05 but with no show-off of the intensity, you know?

00:44:05 Really?

00:48:06 what titan of the record industry told him,

00:52:43 Come down, stand among us for a moment, you know.

00:57:12 It's whether you can get behind it.

01:02:20 He really made it personal.

01:06:17 He wasn't playing any originals.

01:11:20 'Cause...

01:17:18 COHEN: That's right. There's a Zen monastery

01:22:59 that you don't often see in a family movie.

01:27:35 CHOIR: ♪ Hallelujah ♪♪ Oh, Hallelujah ♪

01:32:47 I'm not gonna remember a lot of things, probably,

01:36:52 COHEN: I may because it's a good solution to old age and death.

01:43:56 and really stand

01:54:19 I try to do both.
