My mother always told me, even if a song has been done a thousand times, you can still bring something of your own to it. I'd like to think I did that.
For me it came from the material. It was so well written and brought the opportunity to work with great actors. And of course the opportunity to 'mince about' was an added element that I wanted to take advantage of!
My first encounter with Buddhist dharma would be in my early 20s. Like most young men, I was not particularly happy.
