Dream A Little Dream Of Me (Instrumental)

Marcos Valle - So Nice (Summer Samba) Instrumental

A stripped down take on the 1984 tune by Leonard Cohen. Although structured as a love song it was in fact inspired by the Holocaust. In a 1995 radio interview, Cohen said of the song:

	'it's curious how songs begin because the origin of the song, every song, has a kind of grain or seed that somebody hands you or the world hands you and that's why the process is so mysterious about writing a song. But that came from just hearing or reading or knowing that in the death camps, beside the crematoria, in certain death camps, a string quartet was pressed into performance while this horror was going on, those were the people whose fate was this horror also. And they would be playing classical music while their fellow prisoners were being killed and burnt. So, that music, "Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin," meaning the beauty thereof being the consummation of physical life, the end of existence in that form and of the passionate element in that consummation."
