Damn, Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" is beautiful. It's amazing how much emotion he can convey with his way of singing. And of course, he's such an amazing poet, to create the song at all.

I love Jeff Buckley's version of it too, of course, and hell, Rufus Wainright's is beautiful too. But Leonard is the original, you dig.

Love it. I've got a really pretty one by oh man, kathryn something or other, that just breaks my heart. I'll send it to you if you want.

Did you hear the version on "Leonard Cohen Live?" He reworked a lot of the lyrics. At first I didn't like it, but it really has grown on me.
