Leonard Cohen wrote this. He is one of those artists that is known for writing profound music and then people covering it a lot. He's like more of a songwriter, but he did make records and sing and stuff it's just most people know the covers more. But he's one of the best to ever do it.
@cjonesufc 2 жыл бұрын
I love Leonard’s writing, but his songs and music don’t appeal to me. At least not the ones I bothered to look up. This and “Dance Me To the end Of Love” in particular which I found through The Civil Wars who have an incredible cover of it. Nearly as good as this
@tileux 2 жыл бұрын
Leonard cohen’s version is still the best. The song is about people who are broken and aren’t perfect, so it’s appropriate that a guy who can’t really sing sings it. So many people who cover this just don’t seem to get the point of the song. You can FEEL that in how they sing it and that is just a turn off. This version is horrible. The more amateur you are as a singer the more authentically you can perform this song. Try to sing it with musical bells and whistles - as in this cover - and you’ve completely killed the point of the song. This cover is just sound - without the emotion or meaning of the original song. It’s dead on arrival. This is also the ‘non-cohen’ version. It has additional lyrics - and those spoil what the song is about. This is the Brandi Carlyle version and it’s awful. It’s so off mark what the song is trying to convey. I love Cohen’s song ‘everybody knows’ - wry humour at its best.

I was at the show, and hung in the Smartbar afterwards.......I'm mid 50s , born and raised here in Chicago and at that time I was the ops mgr of the 2d largest record store in the city...a mile down the street from Wrigley. Jeff would pop in the store often when in town. I saw him live a bunch of times - but the Metro show was otherworldly- let me just say this - "more babies were most likely conceived that evening after the show then at any other moment in Chicago music history!!!!" ...When I saw JB play live I always felt this sadness and I would tear up , I'm bipolar2 and suffer with hereditary severe depression and also I believe I can foresee events before they occur .....I felt Cobains death days before it was reported by the news ....I felt that Jeff was a gift to us for only a brief moment in linear time thru the unforgiving universe we spin and swirl thru. Just an artist that no one will truly understand because he was with us so briefly ....his loss hurts as much , or even more then Kurt's and Cornells because this man was taken from us ...he didn't give his existence away.

That 42 second pause - and the beginning - is Jeff letting his guitar sing. His own voice is amazing, but his mastery of the guitar really shines here. It’s so clean, so controlled, so emotionally and technically complex…it just sounds like he’s floating on a cloud. I feel two voices throughout this song and it seems like they are waltzing together. IMO that feeling is a testament to the amazing musician that Jeff was.

Leonard Cohen wrote and recorded the original version in 1984. Shrek used John Cale’s cover from 1991 and Buckley’s version was recorded***(released, not recorded*** in 2007 and he said Cale inspired his version, so that’s why the Hallelujah drop in Shrek sounds similar to Buckley’s. I remember seeing a Joh Legend interview and he described Buckley’s version, “as near perfect as you can get.”

I went into this reaction concerned y’all didn’t know it was a cover, (since many of the others had the original writer in parentheses.) I absolutely love most of Leonard Cohen’s music, but this is one of those songs that had a whole second life with Jeff Buckley. This song is one I absolutely recommend everyone READ, (or at least listen,) to the lyrics of at least once, because so many people bring their own assumptions from having heard the word in church songs to this song. *One from Shrek was a cover by Rufus Wainwright, (I believe.)

Lex is right on this one. This is very different to the Leonard Cohen original and I can't believe anybody who has heard it could confuse the two. Cohen's voice is the voice of a poet speaking/singing his words with a real rasp. Jeff Buckley has a melodic, gentle very expressive and emotional voice accompanying his equally gentle and melodic guitar. He drowned in the Mississippi taking an impromptu swim, when the wash from a barge hit him. He was working on his second studio album at the time of his death. My favourite track by him is "Forget Her".

As a proud son of Montreal, I can tell you that the original of "Hallelujah" is by Leonard Cohen of Montreal, one of the greatest poets of the 20th century. Jeff Buckley got the ball rolling with his version of this beautiful song, and it has since been covered by hundreds of well-known musicians. One of the best covers is by another Canadian, k.d. lang. She will stun you with what her voice can do to elevate "Hallelujah" to the high heavens. Two numbers that must be first heard only as sung by Leonard Cohen are the original 1967 album versions of "Suzanne" and "The Sisters of Mercy". Accept no substitutes, as the saying goes.

I'd recommend Leonard Cohen himself too. You want it Darker , Everybody knows, Ring the bells, Dance me to the end of Love, Suzanne, his lyrics are dumfoundingly gorgeous.

I think my favorite cover of this song is by Rufus Wainwright.

No matter how many times I've heard Jeff's version I always get tingles. Timeless music.

The BEST version every. His voice is amazing and carries his passion in a strong but gentle way.

Heartbreakingly, Jeff Buckley died after going swimming in the middle of the night in the Mississippi River after he had recorded his last record with his band. Apparently recording engineers and producers who are from that area warned them they should not enter the water at night( or day ) because the currents were too strong. Jeff Buckley was found miles down the Mississippi days later. I was blessed to witness him live prior to this incident at First Avenue Minneapolis Minnesota . The concert left me stunned. Rest in peace Jeff .

I saw Jeff Buckley in concert in Melbourne at the Palais Theatre in 1996 I think it was .... At the time I didn't realise how fortunate I was to catch him live ....

The tone of his guitar… the tone of his voice and the mastery with which he projects his voice while performing his own take on the chord progression… his particular choice of verses from the original…. This is THE quintessential version of this song. He has a live performance in which he says he didn’t write it, but wished he did.

@cjonesufc Your final reference might be mistaken with a comment that Jeff made before playing Lilac Wine, during the Chicago concert.

No one does Jeff. Wot an awesome talent. Check out the songs Grace (live version) or last goodbye or another cover lilac wine. His vocals and guitar will blow your mind!

Isn't it amazing that even to this day so many songs from the Shreck movies are still remembered?

so many great recordings of this song, but this one is special

This song has literally been covered hundreds of times. Only a few have actually had any success. The version from the movie Shrek was done by John Cale, but the version that ended up on the soundtrack was done by Rufus Wainwright. What's interesting to me is that Leonard Cohen (who wrote the song) wrote dozens of verses, so the artists who subsequently covered the song (and did their homework) had several options for the song. Jeff Buckley's version is actually my favorite cover of the song. He kept it simple, so his voice became an added instrument. Jeff's cover was actually released about a decade after his death. His passing was indeed a very sad day for the music world.
