Amazing showcase for Buckley's voice.  Beautiful.

Stunning. One of the truly great cover versions. Far better than the original.

 

Sheryl Crowe has done a version. Crap.

Buckley's version contains different lyrics to the Cohen version on Various Positions. The lyrics are included on Cohen's leter live recording. He wrote about 15 verses in total apparently.

Ah. So they are all Cohen's lyrics? Just didn't include them all on the version that came out on the album?

 

Nice one. Always wondered. Cheers, mate.

Well i dreamt there was a secret chord, that David played and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do ya?

Well it goes like this, the 4th ,the 5th, minor fall and the major lift

the baffled King composing Hallelujah....

Leonard is a genius.

 

The Cale version is also excellent.

 

Great, great song all round.

It's not a cry that you hear at night

it's not somebody who's seen the light

it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

 

Beautiful but brutal.

Saw John Cale play it on the organ in The Union Chapel.

 

Which was nice.

Is the Cale version available anywhere other than the I'm Your Fan compilation by the way?

It's also on the Scrubs soundtrack.

 

as I found out from google.
