I admit I have a soft spot for Leonard Cohen's music. I had a customer come in who sings for funerals, he just told me his most requested is Cohen's "Hallelujah". A good friend used to sing it at Christmas in her church! A beautiful song but certainly not a religious one as is often assumed. lol.
Any fans?
I love Leonard Cohen's music - that song (Hallelujah) especially.
I think in its original form it has many verses that are not commonly sung.
It's a hard song to sing and not very many can really do it justice.
Big fan here.
I was melancholy for a year after he passed.
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
I heard that song sung by several other people before I made the connection to Leonard Cohen. Then I purchased a CD of his with that song on it.
I watched a show on PBS where various famous singers each sang one of his signature songs. k.d. lang sang Hallelujah.
A better way of looking at life with its ups and downs, a crack in everything.
One of my favs,K.D .Lang singing hallelujah .
Like a bird on a wire
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
My favorite song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o6zMPLcXZ8
He has accompanied me through my youth.
Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley did it best.
Funny how a song can make me cry when real life sometimes leaves me numb.
I, too, big fan - have a couple of Cohen's CDs. He was quite a talent. KD Lang's Hallelujah is beautiful.
