Nina Simone
Got up this morning to find another beautiful sun-drenched winter morning. This happens to be the perfect song for this moment in time and there is not much that I can add to make this post any better. Nina Simone took an amazing Leonard Cohen song and brought it somewhere else (which is what a good cover should do). I’m partial to the studio version, but check out the live recording for a completely different take on it.
