Buckley in particular...Dear God, it is so moving. Love the lyrics which pull from the Hebrew scriptures but somehow take on multiple meanings for whomever is listening to it. This song has made the world a better place. Hallelujah -- Artist: Jeff Buckley | Reviewer: Anon | 4/27/08 Well I'm sure by now everybody knows Leonard Cohen wrote this tune. Leonard Cohen, the individual, is about as narcissistic as artists come. In fact, he set a lot of the benchmarks for this behavior back in the sixties that others followed. And, unlike Jeff Buckley, who was never really a part of that scene, Leonard made it to old age. “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” - Santayana unique | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/12/08 I guess either you feel or you don't feel this song. Either you feel it deep in your soul or you don't feel it at all. Jeff Buckley was something else, I'll tell you that. I suppose I feel it. I feel it and I can't help but falling in love with it every time. sick song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/2/08 go and read 'again to carthage' by john l parker (sequel to 'once a runner'). after you finish the second to last chapter, you'll know why this is probably one of the best running songs i can think of Capturing song | Reviewer: Nell | 3/28/08 Tears came to my eyes the first time I heard this song quite a few years ago. The word 'Hallelujah'seems to play over and over in my mind me each time I hear Jeff sing the song. His drowning was very sad, but his music continues to live on and keep his memory alive. Get Real | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/23/08 There is a phrase in performing called "Poetic License" It is not plageurism or theft or fraud of any kind. Jeff Buckley made no claims on the copywrite of it this is just his version and interpretation hallelujah | Reviewer: awesome | 3/17/08 This song is so moving. Everytime I listen to it I cry. I can listen to it over & over again. I heard this song for the first time sung by Bon Jovi. They sing a great version of it. It was sung at an concert they had. Leonard Cohen was brilliant. Such insight he had to write a song like Hallelujah. Totally awesome HATERS | Reviewer: stewart | 3/15/08 yes it was jeff who changed the lyrics in the last part of the song. And will people stop being idiots and sayin "hey give credit to leonard cohen he wrote the song, leonard cohen wrote the song" WE KNOW AND DONT CARE. if you have heard leonard sing it, it is awful in comparison to what jeff turned it into. GO HATE SOMEWHERE ELSE Without a trace | Reviewer: Ingrid | 3/13/08 I had the Rufus Wainwright version. I heard this cover on Without a Trace, and it made me cry. I downloaded this one, learned who the original was by and now I have this, the original, the Wainwright one, and the John Cale one. All beautiful in their own special way, but this one seems the most haunting. awesome | Reviewer: Chanel | 3/12/08 The fact that Leonard Cohen wrote this song has been mentioned several times already, so people can stop saying that he hasnt been credited with the song, because he has (and Jeff Buckley, though dead, never did say he wrote it). The song itself is simply amazing, and way Jeff Buckley sang it made it just beautiful. Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9    10   Next 10 Pages
