Reviews for Hallelujah Lyrics

Jeff adapted song with his own verses and guitar arrangement. So the lyrics aren't all by Cohen.

this is one of the few songs that actually touches the soul, its a song that makes you look at you life, and one of the few song that could actually change it.

I love this song...heard it on House, Shrek, The OC, and suprinsingly casualty. Its made me cry everytime I've heard it...Even though I'm 12, I have been through this a lot.

Its amazing and beautiful....^.^

Simply put, it sends me...like no other. Even the mere mention of it--implied or aloud--awakens my dead-cold, bitter soul.

Quite simply the most beautiful song I have ever heard - profoundly moving. His guitar work is superb and Jeff sings from his heart and soul. This song evokes pure emotion.

I first heard this song in the last episode of The OC's first season and it just made me cry. I already felt sad because Seth was taking off and Ryan had to leave, but with the song it was just...heartbreaking. No one could have done it better than Jeff Buckley...

Beautiful song. I loved it when I first saw the movie. I as not able to track it until recently through Amazon's music search. To my surprise, a lot of peaple seem to love it. There are many versions available on youtube.com. Amaizing song, I do not get tired of listening to it.

I love this song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best song ever! I fund it on youtube a couple of weeks ago, super song !

I just dont know what to say, this song it's incredible....It's the best song ever made, everytime i hear it the song is giving me a warm and happy feeling. It is absolutely a beautiful song, cant stop hear it!! Go Jeff Buckley! I love ya... :-)

Denne sang er så speciel for mig. Første gang jeg blev gift, hørte vi den på bryllups-natten. Hver gang jeg hører den, for jeg våde øjne. Love this song<3

I don't suppose he knew it, but when Leonard Cohen wrote this song, it was for Jeff to sing. Jeff was given his voice, and his soul, to sing this song. And we are here to hear this, and be touched, and to know why we live.

That's me, those two anonymouses. Anyway: here's how good his voice, and his feeling for the song, are: they're so good, that no one has commented that his guitar work is superb, matches his voice and the song perfectly. It's there, but it doesn't intrude. And, he uses his vocal power perfectly: strong enough, intense enough when it's right, but not overdone. I've been listening to it again and again, all day.

I hadn't heard him anywhere til the radio spoke of the 10th anniversary of the day he left this world. They played a bit of his singing, and I thought I was hearing Tim Buckley, clearly his voice, but sweeter than he'd ever sounded. Well, Jeff inherited his father's range, but brought to this voice far more sensitivity than his father ever showed. When he says: "But you don't really care for music, do ya?" - what a condemnation! How can any human being not care for music? This song would waken a stone.

Every time I hear this song, I am moved to tears of joy, and my heart starts singing. It is so extremely beautiful...

I first heard this song during the movie Shrek and discovered its origin by chance and have been totally blown away by Jeff Buckley's version after discovering it today. It is a haunting song that evokes very strong emotions every time I hear it.
