Madeleine Peyroux takes on Leonard Cohen's "Dance Me to the End of Love" on Careless Love, her 2004 album. Cohen first recorded it for Various Positions in 1984, and while it's built like a love song, it was inspired by the Holocaust, a weight that sits under every line whoever sings it.
Peyroux's reading is a small-combo affair produced by Larry Klein: she sings and plays acoustic guitar, Larry Goldings is on keyboards, David Piltch on bass and Jay Bellerose on percussion, with Helik Hadar engineering and mixing. Plenty of singers have recorded the song since Cohen, and it has been tipped as a standard in the making.
