Page 79 - # 264 - Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley | Writer: Leonard Cohen | Producer: Andy Wallace | Released August 1994, Columbia

During his famed early gigs at the New York club Sin-e, Buckley used to break hearts with his version of this Cohen prayer. Buckley called it a hommage to "the hallelujah of the orgasm" and had misgivings about his sensuous rendition: "I hope Leonard doesn't hear it." On his posthumous live album Mystery White Boy, Buckley turns "Hallelujah" into a medley with the Smith's "I Know It's Over."

Most overrated cover in history. I'd as soon listen to some screeching, horrible heavy metal music as listen to that.

Have to say that cover leaves me cold. He neuters it.
