Reviews for Hallelujah Lyrics

Of course this is a Leonard Cohen composition, however, Jeff Buckley was using the other verses that Leonard Cohen did'nt record on various positions. Buckley's favorite rendition was John Cale's from his "I'm your fan" endeavour. Jeff said he just learned it one night before a gig at Sin-e. Somebody suggested that it should be on the album (Grace) and Jeff said "OK". Truly a great musician, Jeff Buckley's life was cut short like so many wonderful artist before him. He would have been up there with only a handful of talents that can continually come out with fresh, different stuff time and time again.

tim buckley wrote some amazingly beautiful songs - he died of a drug overdose at age 28 and jeff only met him once when he was a child. this mortal coil recorded beautiful covers of some of tim buckley's songs.

Hallelujah Lyrics are written by Leonard Cohen, not Jeff Buckley. They were shortened and performed by Jeff Buckley and about a thousand other artists, KD Lang's performance being the most praised one. Try and make an effort to give accurate credit to artwork...

im in a tough spot right now. Im stuck between religion and my friends at school. And for awhile i thought that my religion had forsaken me. But every time I hear this song, it reminds me that God does care and sends the most obscure hints to you. This song is such a hint. It fills my soul with the saddness that can only get you closer to God. Thank you, Jeff Buckley. Even if your dead, you'll be one of my icons 'till im in the grave.

I love this song. I'll always know it as the Shrek song. I feel as if it impacts everyone. I think everyone over the age of 8 knows it. And the amount of covers it has, just shows the greatness. It has to be one of the most covered songs. :)

one night, something terrible happened in my house that could have potentially ruined my entire family and my life as well. i stood on the roof of my house and wondered what would happen if i jumped headfirst into my driveway 3 levels down. but something told me to go inside and get on the computer. i sat down and youtube searched until a link to this song came on. I thought it was the most amazing thing i have ever heard. I listened to it and watched jeff sing it for hours until the sun rose. As the sun peaked over the trees, i received the call to let me know the trouble was over with my family. This song stopped me from doing something stupid. this song to me, is the voice of God.

The first time I heard Jeff sing this song was on an episode of House. I immediately went to the site and looked up Jeff and discovered that he had died at the age of 30. I was so sad that such a beautiful voice was no longer singing. However, as I listen to his Hallelujah, I realize that he will never be gone as long as we hear his version of Hallelujah. I've since listened to Leonard Cohen, k.d. lang, Rufus Wainwright sing their versions. I still prefer Jeff's version even though the other's versions were wonderful as well. Both k.d. and Rufus have such clear voices. I think Jeff's rendition has a lot more passion though.

the original is sang wonderfully by leonard cohens. dont get me wrong he sings this beyond amazing song really well but i feel jeff buckley's version is simply amazing. he really moves me with his voice i even get goosebumps! i prefer jeff buckleys version much more. RIP Jeff Buckley...thank you for touching my heart with your voice :)

I first heard this song on an episode of the West Wing. It is played when the secret service agent (Mark Harmon) is shot and killed in New york, and they have to tell CJ (Allison Janey)that he is dead. Great song !!

this song is my favorite song.. i dont know how many years ive been listening this song. It just touches deep inside me.. Even Jeff Buckley's voice at the beginning, its amazing, cant express it with words..

Beautiful, beautiful song. For three weeks long, this was all I'd sing. I love it, it's so pure and sweet. This is, without a doubt, the best version. He puts such soul into these lyrics, whereas Alexandra... No. It saddens me when people think of her when I mention this song. The first time I heard it, it was on Shrek. Hooked ever since :)

this song is awesome, without question the best version of it. but some of jeff buckleys other stuff is just in another league. only my opinion, but songs like lover you should've come over and grace are...just..i cant describe how good they are

just listing to this song it brings tears to my eyes. it makes u think about the ones u lost in life and the ones you hope to find.
I take my hat off to jeff great lyrics and melody. a legend.
Alexandra's vesion is better for girls who want to learn the song but the original will always be better ♥

I still haven`t heard leonard`s yet , but I have the Rufus Wainwrite version on my PSP. I don`t think I spelled his name right. Anyway, his version is okay. Excuse me if there`s any incorrect grammer or whatever, I`m tired and I`m using my PSP to type. Peace out people.
