Peter Gabriel/Magnetic Fields - The Book of Love | LJR (Cover)

I've always loved The Book of Love since I first heard Peter Gabriel's version of the Magnetic Fields song on his Scratch My Back album. In many ways I've tried to model my voice after his over the years, so I want to dedicate this song to him as one of my musical heroes.

Must have looked at 20 versions to see if I could find one that rivals Peter Gabriel and finally I did
