Hallelujah

One of my favorite songs is Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. Here's a good wikipedia entry on the song. Contrary to the article, however, the definitive version is not Jeff Buckley's-- I think by far the best is John Cale's. I hate to admit it, but I first heard the song (Cale's version) on "Shrek." Here's a link to an excellent post on My Old Kentucky Blog with about twenty cover versions. Check out Cale first, and Buckley, and KD Lang, and even Dylan with a live take.
