"Dance Me to the End of Love" is a 1984 song by Leonard Cohen. It was first performed by Cohen on his 1984 album ''Various Positions''. It has since been recorded by various artists, and has been described as "trembling on the brink of becoming a standard".〔(Dance Me To The End Of Love ), Mark Steyn, 2009〕 Although structured as a love song, "Dance Me to the End Of Love" was in fact inspired by the Holocaust. In an interview, Cohen said of the song: In 1996, Welcome Books released a book called ''Dance Me to the End of Love'', as part of its "Art & Poetry" series; the book featured the lyrics of the song alongside paintings by Henri Matisse. == Madeleine Peyroux version == Jazz singer Madeleine Peyroux included a cover of "Dance Me to the End of Love" on her second solo album, ''Careless Love'' (2004). It was released as the second single for the album and has been a part of her concert set-list since then. Peyroux's rendition was included on the fifth and last of the Queer as Folk soundtracks, as well as on the soundtrack of the 2009 computer game ''The Saboteur''. Interviewing Peyroux in 2012, ''The Huffington Post'' described the song as a "haunting 2004 rendition ... undoubtedly one of modern music's brightest highlights. An inspired, exquisite cover that besides drawing countless comparison's to Billie Holiday's singing, brought the free spirited musician to just artistic prominence."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dance Me to the End of Love - Q& With Jazz Singer Madeleine Peyroux )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dance Me to the End of Love」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
