If It Be Your Will - Leonard Cohen - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"If It Be Your Will" is the closing track in Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen's 1984 seventh studio album, Various Positions. It was written by Leonard Cohen and produced by John Lissauer and, like the rest of the album, features vocals by singer Jennifer Warnes. A result of Leonard Cohen's deep interest in religion and spirituality, "If It Be Your Will" is structured like a prayer, emphasizing the need for understanding and solidarity between human beings. Accompanied by a Casio keyboard and an acoustic guitar, the folk legend sings about letting go of personal dogmas in order to transcend life's hardships as a collective force. Its parent album, Various Positions, was a moderate commercial success, reaching number 52 in the UK and entering the charts in countries like Australia, Canada, Germany, and Sweden. The LP is often credited with ushering in a new era for Leonard Cohen, who traded in the folk stylings of his earlier work for a brooding, more synth-based approach to songwriting.
