CD WITH HALLELUJAH BY GORDON DOWNIE TV

The Velvet Underground is one of the greatest and most innovative bands of all time. What all this shows is that Cohen is the one of the greatest songwriters of all time.Īlso, John Cale can never be described as average. I’d say Cale’s musical arrangement with Buckley’s voice would be the best ever version of this song. Without Jeff Buckley ‘s music here ! No, artists that I wear out a cd and buy 2 million times over again after I wrapped a cd ! No artists in the histroy of Music that donated to the World Trade Center Fund after 911 in 2001 !Īugust 23, 1970 when my adopted parents get married in Yonkers, NewYork ! Reconnected again now ! Hallelujah (1984) unfortunately has the first marks of this decline – and it cannot be saved by his wonderful voice.īefore Jeff Buckley music was borning and still is borning The difference is obvious – in 60ties and 70ties he was not just great author but also great musician. His songs, his poems, his voice I do love all of these but he is losing his sense for good music since the late 70ties (~since he uses the synthesizers?).Ĭompare So long Marianne (compilation of songs from 1968-1974) with his recent Dear Heather (2004). An artist cannot go bad by covering this song.īrandon:: I love Leonard Cohen. I only think that the other versions I mentioned were much more powerful and I personally would get more emotional over a song like that than Mr.

I’m not saying Jeff’s version was bad at all. Also, John Cale’s version nearly brought me to tears, not an easy thing to do, especially by a song! I think it was the soft piano juxtaposed against the power of John Cale’s passionate voice. The suprisingly deep voice of Leonard Cohen sounds almost sinister at times during the song, making it all the more mysterious. I feel that the original is much better than this version. I really like this man…this voice!!! the most beautiful I ever heard…Īll his songs are great, and hallelujah…it’s…THE song! What are you all on? ritalin? if u were happy this song makes u sad, and if u were sad already, it makes u more. This song.really I love it!!It’s beautiful!!I’m a spanish girl and also I listened it by The OC at TV.It’s so hard…that sometimes…I cry… He is “just singing” as every second street-singer and his voice could be confused with five other singers… so what’s that special about his version?Įsta cancion me encanta!!Es preciosa!!Soy española y tambien la escuche a traves de la serie The OC.Incluso a veces lloro… I think that John Cale is quite average artist as far as I know his songs and Hallelujah is a good example of this. This is my web and I can write here whatever I want and nobody forces you to read it. If you react in a strongly negative fashion to the above statements, you are likely one of the duped masses or you are an aspiring weasel - a fully realized weasel knows these things to be true and manipulates them to his/her own gains. Furthermore, the majority of people are incapable of distinguishing quality in art, primarily because the world is run by weasels who tell them what to think. If you are interested in quality art of any kind, it is important to keep the following in mind: the best artists almost never get the money, fame or recognition they deserve and they are usually ripped off or otherwise imitated by many of the less talented artists who do get the fame, money, etc. Though, for reasons unknown to me, was replaced on the soundtrack by a version by Rufus Wainwright.Ĭale also does a killer cover of Heartbreak Hotel, for those interested in exploring more quality music.

The definitive version of this song to date is the version recorded by John Cale - one time member of the Velvet Underground Ĭale’s version was first released on a 1991 Tribute album to Leonard Cohen entitled, I’m Your FanĪpparently it was also the version used in the movie, Shrek, which introduced the song to the masses. This song crushed me, I listened to it on repeat for almost 6 months during a serious bout of depression and I think it was the only thing that helped me hold on.īuckley’s version is NOT the best version of this song. to think i almost gave up on the healing power of music. Hearing this song was like walking into a wall. It’s an amazing song i first heard it on shrek then on the o.c. I only young but i lyk vis song yay im the 1st of 2006 I am a 8 year, and counting US Marine, and a combat vet, and I have never had my emotions crash upon me, like a wave. I have never heard a song, and broken down into tears. Anyone know what CD the version played on this website is from? I also think Jeff Buckley’s version of this song is better than the original.
