Lancelot Schaubert releases a powerful cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Democracy”, urging Americans to reflect on the state of democracy and the challenges facing humanity ahead of the 2024 election cycle.
Schaubert’s rendition, which retains the original melody and lyrics, features pained belting that elevates the song to an anthem in the best Americana and Folk tradition. Political campaigns interested in using the song for rallies and videos are encouraged to reach out to Schaubert.
Schaubert is a multifaceted artist known for his novel Bell Hammers, which has also been recorded as an audiobook. He has authored several short tales, poetry, and essays, and edited the anthology series Of Gods And Globes” and The Showbear Family Circus.
Schaubert’s debut album, All Who Wander, features characters from the Bell Hammers universe. His photonovel, Cold Brewed, won the oldest photography competition in the world, Photo Spiva, and drew attention from the Chicago Museum of Photographic Arts.
Schaubert hopes to compose another album if time and money permit. We can’t wait to see what he will come up with next. Fans of folk, acoustic, singer-songwriters, alt-country, Americana, and guitar-playing sad balladeers should include Schaubert’s cover of “Democracy” in their playlists.
Listen to the single now and join the conversation about the nature of democracy in America.
