is it the best version?

[okgo]

So I am alone at home listening to music that brings out emotion.

Every artist and their dog has had a crack at hallelujah but I think this is the best version?

Am I right?

[G'kar]

It's fking good.

Cohen's deserves respect, obviously.

Wainwright's also good.

I also like the Alison Crowe recording.

[astroarcadia]

Correct. Tragic the way he died and makes this song eerie.

Yes.

But I had just been listening to this: http://www.rathergood.com/independent_woman/

[Pesty]

I can also read and understand the comments which is a bonus

I find Jeff Buckley overrated frankly.

The best version was by the man who wrote it.

Jeffs best song by a mile, and eerie.

Everybody Here Wants You.

Agreed. He is so under-rated because his studio/album stuff is poor compared to his live.

He is sometimes the definition of overwrought.

[Baby Huey]

Thread moved to receive a slow and painful death in the music section.

[okgo]

You read my mind chap.

Might as well have stuck in the Asia forum.

[astroarcadia]

Must have been at least two minutes?

[Baby Huey]

It's just you and me I guess, do you come here often?

[okgo]

It was longer than two mins. But it was good while it lasted.

I have moved on too 'mamas and papas' now.

There is an Asia forum

Oh well. I remember listening to Jeff Buckley's album when I was at school.

I never realised until googling him this year that he had died. Shame.

[JohnnyPanic]

Two years and I never knew there was a music forum!
