The Reviews about Hallelujah (page 8/ 20)
------ performed by Jeff Buckley


Lyrics confusion | Reviewer: Hattie | 8/28/07

As for the holy dark v. holy dove thing - apparently rufus wainwright changed it to dark but it was originally dove, and it seems Cohen himself (let alone everyone else, inc buckley, of whom i'm a fan) changed the lyrics in a later version! It's weird - i think some versions are more biblical, some more sexual, in their allusions, but wikipedia it for more info anyway.

Also i knew it originally from shrek - despite the fact the actual film and the soundtrack have different people singing it...



memories | Reviewer: Natalia | 8/27/07

this lyrics, this song, his voice remind me so many things, thoughts and situations from the past...When I firstly heard this song I was crying...I made so many mistakes, so many people I disapoint.
Anyway I like this song bery much, this is a song of my life.



hallelujah questions | Reviewer: nikki | 8/19/07

the version i have seems to skip the first two verses and jump straight into Baby i've been here before.... then at the end, there's another verse that doesnt appear on these lyrics. what's up with that??? i want the ORIGINAL song....please help! email me and tell me which version is the REAL version please



lyrics correction | Reviewer: Will | 8/14/07

"i thought the holy dog was movin', but the verse sounds so much deeper now that i kno9w its a dove"

Unfortunately, Im fairly sure its neither. Its the 'Holy Dark' which is moving. Leonard Cohen meant it as complex but beautiful imagery portray sex as quasi-divine.



Uplifting | Reviewer: kate | 8/10/07

Jeff Buckley's version makes me tear up every time. I admit that I'm partial to him (if you don't have Grace, get it), but really his rendition of this song is uplifting and quite lovely.



dove vs dog | Reviewer: hot t | 8/10/07

i thought the holy dog was movin', but the verse sounds so much deeper now that i kno9w its a dove.



Sweet | Reviewer: Voi Perkele | 8/6/07

I heard this song first time when they promoted the 24-series' fourth season on tv here in Finland. As Jeff sings about marble arch ect, Jack Bauer looks like his in agony and crying and everybodys dying and so forth --- Very touchy moment. At that moment I desided that I must get the song and watch the serie. Good decisions both :)



Hallelujah | Reviewer: Colin | 7/29/07

This song seems to strip me to the bone it says so much more than just the lyrics,been through some really tough times a few years ago and I think I know where L cohen was at when he wrote it. Some people on here say it gives them hope i'm not so sure but all the best songs mean different things to the people who listen to them
Anyway great great song sung beautifly by J Buckley



Edukators | Reviewer: Wendy | 7/22/07

I even almost cried during the movie "The Edukatos" because of this song, Hallelujah. I know Leonard Cohen, but don't know Buckley so well. Gotta listen to more of his music.
