Hallelujah

Post by ed the head »

"Hallelujah" is a song written by Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, originally released on his studio album Various Positions (1984). Achieving little initial success, the song found greater popular acclaim through a cover by John Cale, which later formed the basis for a cover by Jeff Buckley. In recent years several cover versions have been performed by a large number and broad range of artists, both in recordings and in concert.

A lovely song that, I heard it performed beautifully by Rufus Wainwright a few years back. But it's pretty much associated with Shreck for us now, (grandkids :D ).

Great song, butchered often.
Buckley nailed it, 'grace' is a superb album.
