Madeleine Peyroux Singing Waren Zevon's "Desperados Under the Eaves"

I'm blown away by the beauty of her voice. Fragile and beautiful. 🌷🌷🌷
It's a song about alcohol. A song about despair.
All those salty Margaritas in Los Angeles...
Is it a song about you and me – my foreign friend? Is it?

Madeleine with Leonard Cohen's [b]Dance Me To The End Of Love[/b] - the first song I heard her do.

@ArtieKat Thank you!! This excellent song is on her album "Careless Love" (2004). She is such a fantastic singer. 🌷

@helenS Very good! Are you familiar with the photographs of Henri Brassai - Paris in the 1920s and 30s? The song evokes those images for me.
