Our Own Wee Thing

The wind and the rain are coming in with a vengeance. And something makes me think of Leonard Cohen and that voice which, even more so as he got older, reaches somewhere that other voices can’t. For me at least.

The combination of the voice, the music and the poetry. It can produce magic. A little piece of me always wished I sounded like Cohen.

Mostly we singer songwriters just have to make the most of the voice we’re given.

But whatever we’re given, great singers, great songs, and great songwriting can inspire us to make the most of our own wee thing.
