<h1 class="ql-align-center"><strong>Ecclesiastes 3:4</strong></h1><p class="ql-align-center"><br></p><p class="ql-align-center">“A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;”</p><p class="ql-align-center"><br></p><p class="ql-align-center">************************************</p><p><br></p><p>"Dance Me to the End of Love" was written by Leonard Cohen and first recorded by him for his 1984 album "Various Positions." The instrumentation was evocative of traditional klezmer music. "Dance Me to the End of Love" became Cohen's standard concert opener for the remainder of his career. On the surface, the song seems like a love song, but it's actually about the Nazis playing classical music as they marched Jews into the gas chambers.</p><p><br></p><p>The Civil Wars (John Paul White &amp; Joy Williams) included their version of the song in their "Live at Eddie's Attic" released on June 30, 2009.</p><p><br></p><p><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bf/The_Civil_Wars.jpg" alt="The Civil Wars - Wikipedia"></p><p><br></p><p>I found someone who enjoys singing The Civil Wars songs as much as I do. --Gail-- has a special vocal appeal which makes her covers of Joy Williams music a master class. And get this: She doesn't mind singing with me! I am creating a Playlist entitled "Duets from The Civil Wars."</p><p><a href="https://www.singsnap.com/#/d/play/131236" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.singsnap.com/#/d/play/131236</a></p><p><br></p><p>I am also placing this recording in my playlist entitled "Heavenly Duets."</p><p><a href="https://www.singsnap.com/#/d/play/38597" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 204);">https://www.singsnap.com/#/d/play/38597</a></p><p><br></p><p>Of course I will be including this recording in my Public Playlist entitled "The Invisible Man Series."</p><p><a href="https://www.singsnap.com/#/d/play/126835" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 204);">https://www.singsnap.com/#/d/play/126835</a></p><p><br></p><p>Thanks for listening and commenting, and please continue to pray for peace in the Ukraine,</p><p><br></p><p>Milo</p><p class="ql-align-center"><br></p><p class="ql-align-center"><img src="https://media.tenor.com/_uVEsUpMMXsAAAAj/ninisjgufi-ukraine.gif" alt="Ninisjgufi Ukraine Sticker - Ninisjgufi Ukraine Flag Stickers"></p>
