K.D. Lang sang Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah last night. I'd only heard Jeff Buckley's version and thought Buckley had written it until Lang introduced the song. This morning I youtubed it. No one can write like Cohen, but no one can sing like Lang. So here are both versions. Cohen's has a beautiful chorus of young voices behind him, an interesting contrast. Don't deny yourselves.

Both are fabulous, although I did have to chuckle at the leaves and puffs of smoke on Leonard's set. It looks like an old VW was just off camera backfiring into the leaves. lol
