HELP! Looking for specific 'Hallelujah' covers

Post by Muad'Dib »

Maybe the millionth thread like this but...I tried this about a year ago on this forum, I think, but since I've renewed my search, I'm trying again...

Are there any covers of the 'Hallelujah' that appears on 'Various Positions' other than Bob Dylan and Bono's, respectively? (That is, versions that contain both the "name in vain" and "Lord of Song" verses that are usually left out, since most covers seem to follow after the John Cale and/or Jeff Buckley versions).

There is one that I've found that I think is quite good-- it's by Gordon Downie. However, it is not released and the only available mp3 I've been able to find is a take ripped from the movie (so it has noise from the film over it in many places, people talking and such).


In short:

Does anyone have a version of Gord Downie's without the movie noise over it?

OR

Does anyone have/know of a version of the song with those verses mentioned above OTHER THAN the covers by Dylan and Bono?


Note: I'm looking for covers only, not Cohen's own performances.

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!
