Song Idea

[Peter White]

I’m sure you are sent lots and lots of ideas of songs which people think you might like to cover! So…..here’s another! I came across this on YT while looking for something else: Leonard Cohen’s ‘If It Be Your Will’ as performed with him on tour by the Webb Sisters on Celtic Harp and guitar. It is almost a prayer. I think the ‘Wagner Sisters’ would do a fabulous job with the song’s beautiful harmonies. I have taken the liberty of posting the Webb Sisters’ rendition here. The first 1 min 10 sec are Leonard speaking the words of his poem/song. At that point the singers begin. As soon as I heard those voices I thought of the MonaLisa Twins. Much love–Pete

That’s always been my favorite Cohen song, but as renditions go, it might be hard to top this one.
