Janileigh Cohen - Avalanche ( Leonard Cohen Cover )

It’s LIVE 🙈- Debut Album ‘’Small Things’’ ❤️
Hello beautiful people of YouTube -My Crowdfunding page is now LIVE
This has been a dream of mine for nearly 10 years, but sometimes things don’t go as planned, but now as an independent artist I’m embarking on a mission to finally release an album.

I haven’t been very present online, or even with my friends, because things just got a bit shit, as they have with so many people over the last year, but I’m ready to get back out into the world. 🤗 🌈 🦀
Don’t feel any pressure to donate as I appreciate these are strange and difficult times we are living through, but thank you for taking the time 🙏 💕

I’d massively appreciate it if you could share the link with you friends and family xxx

Take care, lots of love Jani xxxx

(also a huge thank you to my friend Richard for helping with the video and for letting me stay on his couch in London 👼  xX)

Lyrics.

Well I stepped into an avalanche,
it covered up my soul;
when I am not this hunchback that you see,
I sleep beneath the golden hills
You who wish to conquer pain,
you must learn, learn to serve me well.
You strike my side by accident
as you go down for your gold
The crippled here that you clothe and feed
is neither starved nor cold
He does not ask for your company,
not at the center, the centre of the world.
When I am on a pedestal,
you did not raise me there.
Your laws do not compel me
to kneel grotesque and bare
I myself am the pedestal
for this ugly hump at which you stare
You who wish to conquer pain,
you must learn what makes me kind
the crumbs of love that you offer me,
they're the crumbs I've left behind.
Your pain is no credential here,
it's just the shadow, shadow of my wound
I have begun to long for you,
I who have no greed
I have begun to ask for you,
I who have no need
You say you've gone away from me,
but I can feel you when you breathe
