Here I am doing another sad song. This one is written by the talented Richard Thompson. It was originally sung by his then-wife, Linda Thompson. I know it gets covered a lot, and for good reason. It is a wonderful song.
This is my take on it. I have the guitar tuned to dropped D tuning, for those who are into this kind of thing.
"When death comes, let it find you alive" ----African Proverb
"Anthem" by Leonard Cohen
"The birds they sang at the break of day
Start again, I heard them say
Don't dwell on what has passed away
or what has yet to be...
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in"
Start again, I heard them say
Don't dwell on what has passed away
or what has yet to be...
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in"
