It’s LIVE 🙈- Debut Album ‘’Small Things’’ ❤️
Hello beautiful people of KZfaq -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)
To find out more see link :gofund.me/cb503cf9
Thank you for listening! lots of love

Its been over a year since Leonard passed away and I wanted to pay tribute by singing one of my favourite songs.
.. thank you for the music rip xxx
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

I can't believe I almost ignored this link (so many poor cover versions on KZfaq). What a treat! This is by far my favorite L. Cohen song, so I'm going to be more critical of your performance, unfortunately. This song affects me in so many different ways, it's actually kind of strange. Anyway, I was blown away by your interpretation of this song. You didn't try anything silly like I often hear in KZfaqr's cover songs...you played it like L. Cohen was sitting in front of you. You gave the song the respect that it deserved. For that, I will be seeking out the remainder of your work. Also, I hope you have a wonderful, successful career in music. Success doesn't mean millions of dollars, but I think you already know that and I'll end now before I embarrass myself any further. Good luck to you!!

Thank you for your heartfelt interpretation of one of my favorite Cohen songs, probably his darkest song. I always thought the song was about a man conversing with his God (or his version of God). Leonard Cohen was a great artist who will always be with me.

Great song, thank you for carrying it into the present time! Have been fascinated by it for a long time. Used to find it somewhat haunting - a higher power speaking that was well beyond my grasp. This year I suddenly perceived it differently. Maybe the voice from within, trying to guide the human seeker? Showing how to adapt to the subtle impulses from the immortal soul? He is full of misconceptions ...

Dear Janileigh, a couple of months ago, I commented on Laura Marling's version of "Avalanche". Please don't hold it against me if I just copy/paste this comment for you: "So perfectly sung by a woman, you add a new valued shade to the deep meaning of this beautiful song! Dear Janileigh, if ever you intend to perform in our small world around Luxembourg, please let us know." (By the way: I'm just a soul whose intentions are good, oh Janileigh, please don't let me be misunderstood!)
