Christian Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 I like the Jeff Buckley version too. I can't find a Josh Groban version though I bet it would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistachio Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 This song is so fantastic for covers and I love to play it on my piano and more than once have ended up in tears. It's an amazing lyric based on King David but is such a universal love song and love of life song. Rufus and Martha wainright did a good cover, jeff buckley of course. But leonard is fantastic - especially when you know a little of his life and know a part of what the words might mean for him years after he wrote them GREAT TASTE!!!! I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!

Mrs Frugal Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I LOVE that song!! The Jeff Buckley version is my favourite but try looking for the Kate Voegele studio version on You Tube. It's superb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I love that song. It was the first song I heard on my car CD player after I was told that my half-sister had died after battling breast cancer. She was 39 with an 8 year old daughter. It always moves me to tears too.

Snowy Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I didn't click on the youtube link, but you can only be talking about Hallelujah - I first heard it on Shrek, moved me to tears then and it still does every time I hear it. Best song ever written I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluekarin Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 For years I never 'got' what everyone was on about when they mentioned Jeff Buckley's Grace album and in particular Hallelujah. Until I listened to the song this year. Properly. What an astounding song. It has the same affect on me as Jonny Cash's version of Hurt. The BBC 1 trail they are using it in is so moving. Brings a tear to my eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
