Hallelujah

Of course music is a very personal thing, no-one would argue with that.

When I first heard Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah I was moved to tears. It sent shivers down my spine. I make a conscious effort not to overplay it.

At the gym the other night I heard K.D. Lang's version. I have always been a bit ho-hum when it came to K.D. But well we are allowed to change our opinions especially when we are the fairer sex. KD's version is excellent. Didn't give me the spine shivers but there was something about it. Maybe a good background song whilst sipping on a cab sav. (note - gone the full circle, back to my roots of red wine drinking but thats a whole other story!!)

So I did a bit of research and put my trust into Wikipedia. Looks like Leonard Cohen was the original - mm sorry Lenny old mate but I reckon my singing sounds just as good during a Jimmy Barnes concert.

The original isn't always the best and there is always room for improvement.
Hallelujah to that :D
