@mh605 In the 'Awake My Soul' documentary Hamrick does tell this story - but applies it to a completely different song.

Beautiful - is it available on CD/DVD or will it be soon?

Hey john - Heard you singing last week in Lisbon & bought your CD. Its good but I think a CD of you singing solo to your own guitar accompaniment- which is what I've heard - would allow your beautiful deep sad voice to flower even more. Good luck - Fergus

Thanks for the comment. My problem with AO is that the prettiness (not beauty) seems to me as out of kilter with the song as would 'Strange Fruit' in waltz time sung by Richard Tauber. That kind of discordance could be creative but here it makes a listener 'want to dance through fields of daisies...

Antony's version of 'If It Be Your Will' is right up there level-pegging with Cohen's own in its emotional truth but I feel that he falls far short of coming close to the combination of emotion and surreal scene-painting which is such an essential part of this amazing song

This would be great if I had never heard the song before but it's just blown away by her other recording

Near-unbearable pathos

Ooops! I didn't realise that a full English translation had already been posted. Apologies to all.

Yes, the video quality is poor and I just hate the dismissal of Arjuna's compassion, however appropriate it may be in terms of Hindu philosophy - but, oh my!, what a sublime transcendent scene this is, moving me to tears every time.
