I recorded this song on Election Day because it makes me feel better, posting it here in case it does the same for you. 

I recently heard it during The Way I See It, the Pete Souza documentary. It was written by Leonard Cohen who released it in 1992, and the soundtrack version is by the Lumeneers.

Today I channelled my generalized election anxiety toward a quick lunchtime recording session with @melodus, one of the best musicians I know (who conveniently lives in my house), and who provided all noises that are not rhythm guitar and vocals.
