Alright, well keeping with this Canadian theme that is emerging, we'd like to do a song that
appeared on a Leonard Cohen album in the 1960s.
It was not written by him, but it was adapted by him for a very spooky version, but it was
written by some French songwriters, and I believe it's about
The 1940s, I think.
Yeah, I believe it's about the French resistance in World War II, and the terror that was experienced there.
And it's a very evocative song, some amazing imagery.
It features a little bit of French, which Jill is very good at, and I'm not quite so
good at, but we wanted to have a song that had a little bit of French [Em] on it, and this
one was [Bm] perfect, because it's half in French and half in English, and I don't really think
there's anything more I can say about this.
You just have to [B] take this one in.
