Guest Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 For me it would be Jeff Buckley singing "Hallelujah" (written by Leonard Cohen). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Not sure how you could have had pictures of Shrek in you mind revnev! Jeff Buckley's version is so atmospheric that it feels like a different song completely. And the fact that he drowned aged just 30 in 1997 makes it all the more haunting.... for me anyway.

I have also used that song in church with a series of images - because (obviously) it's about David and Bathseba - but (I think) that was pre-Shrek!! because I don't remember thinking of Shrek back then!
