Tonight Will Be Fine - Leonard Cohen

Installment numero dos. I knew this song was going to make it on the list at one time or another, so it might as well be now. This is a song written by one of the most poetic songwriters of all time, Leonard Cohen, which has great sentimental value for me. Somehow it seems to resonate in both my times of despair and contentment. I first started really connecting with this tune at a time when I thought I was in love with a woman I knew I could never be with. After much trouble and strife I finally came to my senses and realized that it was all folly derived from my own self doubts and general waywardness at the time. After that, the song found it's rightful place as a sort of tribute or theme for the one true love of my life, the woman who was my life, paying homage both to her and the special bond that we had. Man she loved it when I'd sing this for her. Alas, now my life truly imitates the art, and I find myself in the same situation as our narrator nearly word for word. The song is now a collection of memories of what I had in the life I lived before, compiled into three short verses. If I've got to remember, those are fine memories.
