hallelujah

[baachus]

it's coming upon the christmas season. Handel's Messiah and Hallelujah will be played on the airwaves. But the Hallelujah that moves me, the one that touches my heart is Leonard Cohen's. One of the master poets of our time. His Hallelujah.

I think Leonard Cohen deserves credit, but I like the Jeff Buckley version..

It's track number 6 on this album - http://amzn.com/B00136JPB0

A very talented artist - seems he passed away too young.

Thanks for reminding people of the great Leonard Cohen !

Also worth checking out - Tom Waits -"Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis" . The version from Austin City Limits (1978?) is awesome : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12qBoy2rhVw

Happy Christmas everyone !
