I saw Richman perform last night in Brooklyn, and he played "Here It Is." It was quite good, if you're into Jonathan Richman (of the Modern Lovers, if you don't remember your rock history). Apparently, this song will make it onto his new album:
"Richman is one of modern music's most original artists, and quite possibly the friendliest, most sincere live performer on the face of the earth. This is his fifth release on Vapor, and his first new album in three years. Features eleven new tracks, plus a new version of "Old World" and a Leonard Cohen cover, "Here It Is". Vinyl version features bonus track on a 7-inch single. Look for Richman and drummer Tommy Larkins on their US tour starting February 25.

Re: "Here It Is" cover on new Jonathan Richman album
The legendary JR's album is out nowish (at least in the UK) and does indeed feature his cover version of LC's "Here It Is" in is own inimitable style.
And, to borrow a phrase, er, here it is:

Well, just a sample to be brutally honest, but you get the drift.

By all accounts, the last song is particularly personal and moving.
