Day three, it’s a wrap!!

First, here are the rules

1 Thank the person who nominated you.
2 Share one of your favorite song/lyrics one at a time for three days.
3 Nominate three other bloggers each day. As a Suze-follower, I am allowed to bend rules!

So, first of all, thank you again for thinking about me for this challenge, dear Lydia! If you haven’t heard about this lovely lady, I warmly recommend a visit to her blog, Being Lydia. It was a surprise to know that you enjoy Leonard Cohen’s work as much as I do. I hope you liked my participation to the challenge 🙂

(Ok, that’s it for point 1)

To me, Leonard Cohen’s music is a gift to humanity. A romantic, yet realistic view of the world. He really wanted to make a difference, and to unite people… I doubt he really believed he could. I do, and I think it reflects in the way people interpret the master’s songs. There is a heartfelt respect in most of the covers I have heard. For this last post, I’ve chosen two interpretations of a song dear to me, If it be your will. Both totally work for me, and I hope you’ll enjoy them too.

First is the performance of Antony. (from the Leonard Cohen documentary, I’m your man)  To me, it even tops Cohen’s interpretation… Sorry Len!

Then with the Webb Sisters, who give the song a heavenly feminin touch to it…

And, of course… The Master’s take on it.

That covers point 2. Well, another challenge complete… Hope you’ve enjoyed the ride!
