Nathaniel Rateliff releases cover of Leonard Cohen’s 'There Is a War'

Nathaniel Rateliff joined by musicians Kevin Morby, and Sam Cohen, released a cover of Leonard Cohen’s song “There Is a War”. (Sam Cohen has no relation to Leonard Cohen.)

In a recent statement about how the cover came to be, Nathaniel Rateliff said:

“I really love the work that Sam and Kevin have done together in the past. So I asked them to be a part of the Marigold Singles. We all have a mutual love for Leonard Cohen’s writing and felt that ‘There Is A War’ speaks to the world we currently find ourselves in.”

The Marigold Singles mentioned, refers to Rateliff’s The Marigold Project which is his foundation in support of community and nonprofit organizations working on issues of racial, social and economic justice.

Proceeds generated by the sale of this digital single will benefit @marigoldproject, Rateliff’s foundation supporting community and nonprofit organizations working for economic, racial and social justice. The Marigold Project is proud to support @HighlanderCtr with this release. pic.twitter.com/ssRN9rBed2
