Please direct any discussion of the google doodle here: http://www.leonardcohen...

Re: Come Healing - a wedding song?

. . Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. It seems to me you are over-thinking this. You love the song and want it in your wedding . Once you feel that you've made a fairly good decision, there is no reason to worry about how this or that person might feel during that 3 minutes. Unless you are h...
