Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin!

1. That's a great song.

We lost several great musicians this past year or so.

Here's one of my favorites from him-- great lyrics-
I loved you for your beauty
But that doesn't make a fool of me
You were in it for your beauty too
And I loved you for your body
There's a voice that sounds like god to me
Declaring, (declaring) declaring, declaring that your body's really you
And I loved you when our love was blessed
And I love you now there's nothing left
But sorrow and a sense of overtime
And I missed you since the place got wrecked
And I just don't care what happens next
Looks like freedom but it feels like death
It's something in between, I guess
It's closing time

[Floyd R. Turbo]

2. Brilliant!

3. "Dance Me to the End Of Love" was in fact inspired by the Holocaust.

" hearing or reading or knowing that in the death camps, beside the crematoria, in certain of the death camps, a string quartet[2] was pressed into performance while this horror was going on, those were the people whose fate was this horror also. And they would be playing classical music while their fellow prisoners were being killed and burnt."*

*From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, (In an interview, Cohen said of the song)

4. I love this song but learning the story...

Of what Cohen's inspiration for it was forever changed how I hear it and now it breaks my heart with not just it's beauty but the horrifying tragedy that inspired it.


Hallelujah is probably my favorite of his as is this cover of it by Pentatonix...
