Tower of Song, by Leonard Cohen.
My relationship with Leonard Cohen started with the movie Pump Up The Volume, which I feel like maybe I’ve already mentioned here, but… maybe not? The key Leonard Cohen songs in that one are Everybody Knows and If It Be Your Will. And I had the movie soundtrack, but that only had the Concrete Blonde version. So I made a point of getting a hold of I’m Your Man.
And if I remember correctly, I did that via a special order of a cassette at my first record store job? That makes no sense, but I’m pretty sure that’s how it went down.
It was worth it. Jazz Police, First We Take Manhattan, and this song, among others, gave that album a very 1980s Wim Wenders (or pre-Dogme Lars von Trier?)

Easy one tonight. One Leonard-deep backing vocal. Sorry, didn’t do the whole backup singers thing or a proper one-finger piano solo, but I did a little trinkling in the background to try and get a similar feel.
