The song I chose for today's page is the late Jeff Buckley's 1994 cover of the Leonard Cohen song "Hallelujah." It comes in at #68 on the list of the Top 2000 songs of all time.
There are a lot of different ideas of what the meaning of this song is. "Hallelujah" to me, is about the complicated nature of love and relationships. I first became aware of "Hallelujah," when Jason Castro sang a short but moving version on American Idol. Since then, I've heard many versions, and it's become one of my favorite songs. The lyrics are so bittersweet, and Jeff Buckley's tender version is stunning. Check it out here...
Here's the journal page I created for "Hallelujah..."
Here's a link to the full lyrics, and to Jeff Buckley's official site. If you are interested in Jason Castro's version that's here.
