Buckley's is in my opinion, this one is great too, but his... I donno, it's just heavy, what was to come shortly after that adds to the weight. I dont think any covers of this are bad really, except country ones lol..... But no, Fuck country for real though.
@kangaroo9816

The 'heaviness' is what makes this cover so damn good. All broken hallelujahs resonate in it, every word feels so true. Unlike all the other covers I've listened to so far - for me, they go over the edge, are too whiny, packed with excess, fake emotions. My opinion only, you don't need to agree; yet, 'heavy Wainwright' is the only cover of the song I can enjoy or even stand. ;)

For those who care for analyzation, think this song is Definetly special and set apart from the rest, some songs lures the sad out of you in a peaceful way. Like it's okay to feel something or anything. Also there's a beautiful comfort about this song aswell. It draws aggression and depth but in such a state that it brings you tears and a release. Overall, it kind of hugs your ears and understands you for a few minutes. Music doesn't judge. And sometimes, playing a song can bring you much more understanding, and peace inside than any person ever could.

To me, its about an individual's spiritual journey which varies from individual to individual. The first verses are of course the spiritual journeys of Biblical figures, but the last is that of the writer of the song, the profound thing that he learned from life through the pain of experience. My two cents anyway.

Blake Ledger This version of the song is not about religion, but the original version is. Not that it's religious exactly, but Leonard Cohen is definitely playing around with the concepts of God and the divine. I love these lyrics too, which are more about a lost relationship.

True love is priceless and never corrodes or looses its value. It is eternal. It may be pitchblack and the hurricane may be so strong it seems like judgement day, but the love still remains. The circumstance doesn't change its value, despite not always being able to see it or forgetting that despite the storm it is in the palm of your hands. And loving someone perfectly is not seeing someone through rosecolored glasses and certainly not seeing them through pitchblack shades. It is loving them for no more and no less than what they are, and not assuming you know everything about them when you dont, but loving them for exactly what you know themvto be, and passionately wanting to know more. Not all that glitters is gold, and the sweetest music isn't always the loudest.

This song interleaves the love beween a man and a woman with the love between mankind and God. The word Halleluja is the thread that binds these themes. This is not a traditional love song or a hymn. It comes from a place of great pain, love turned sour, and from a broken man who questions God. The woman is a believer in the ideals of love and faith. The singer is not. There is an antagonistic tone between the man and the woman from the start of the song. He feels that she has a idealistic and rosy view of love and faith. She feels he does not truly believe in either. Yet at one time the lovers were engulfed in an intense love. Now the singer feels he was seduced and consumed by a force greater than himself. In their love he saw the divine, in their love he saw his destruction. To her the word Hallelujah is joyous and uttered from a place of faith. To him Hallelujah comes from a place that is "cold and broken." Source: www.quora.com/What-is-the-Leonard-Cohen-song-Hallelujah-about Contributor: Anonymous

He wrote nearly 300 versions of this song (Leonard Cohen). The lyrics used for this version were verses John Cale of the Velvet Underground selected from the collection of lyrics Cohen sent him after he told he wanted to cover the song. Cale had a liking to songs with religious vibes, so he selected nearly all the lyrics that had religious themes, and then put them in the order heard here. If anyone is talking about the meaning the artist intended I'm afraid that has doesn't really exist. However it's my opinion that artist intent doesn't matter when discerning meaning.

I can't listen to this song without crying. It was my Grandma's favorite song and they played it for her while she was dying. I had to sing it at her funeral and I still hate that I could only make it half-way through without breaking down. I finally thought I could handle listening to it two years later, but I can't. It's a beautiful song, but it's one I've tried to erase from my memory. Show the people you love that you love them before it's too late everyone. Maybe then you won't be broken down by a song.
