If You Go Away (cover) Jacques Brel

Jacques Brel is simply a one of a kind writer and performer. To hope to do this song justice is a big reach. I do love this song. It is terrifically hard to sing and play (for me anyway) Hope it comes across alright. I will probably re-do this song in the future using piano instead of guitar, just because it is a huge song and I have a lot to learn by interpreting it. It certainly pushes me out of my comfort zones in a lot of ways.

I only just found out about Jacques Brel this year (again with the help of youtube), but I think your cover is very moving and beautiful. I'd love to hear it with the piano, too.
