I always wanted to do a version of this song because I think the lyrics are,
they might be my favorite set of Leonard Cohen lyrics.
I think they kind of explain and validate
love all at the same time to me and as someone who has been challenged many times in that
department it's kind of, it was a beautiful catharsis to do this song.
