I'm a big Cohen fan but this is the best version anyone has recorded of this great song! Such a shame the boy had to die so young like his father. How tragic is that?

Superb. Sublime. A great song by Leonard Cohen. A magical interpretation from Jeff Buckley. This song always moves me no matter how many times I've heard it before.

So much more soul than Leonards version. Not that he did not do an amazing job, but Jeff knoks it out of the water.

Through love, the kingdom is lost, abused or stolen, yet the man is still thankful to God for what he has…always thankful. The Old Testament references show conquered love and the talents lost in epic style. The additional lyrics on his live recording (“yeah and even though it all went wrong, I'll stand right here before the lord of song, with nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah”) synch it and translate into empathy of the soul that has ever put all it has on the table and rolled the dice in the name of love only to find all lost and still find the strength to be thankful for the pain. This is a powerful song for the soul and a reminder that every day is a blessing, every day. Cohen’s wish that this song not be so commercial suggests that most people don’t let their soul hear the lyrics, or, perhaps, it is more personal, as his songs are personal, and commercialization of them feels like silver being gilt onto a solid gold plate – more popular, but less valuable at the face value.

If you can, get the DVD of his performance at the Metro in Chicago (1995). He always closed w/Hallelujah. In that version the transition from the very long intro into the song is a heartstopper. Also, Cohen wrote more verses that no one ever uses. Buckley, at the end, includes one of those verses but changes it quite a bit to a more adult version. He uses Cohen's idea of the verse and updates it. It's the best version and the only time I heard that verse used. No one -- no one could do this song justice like Jeff Buckley.
