I shall answer you! This shitty version wich you could compare to a hymn in a church is a shitty version watched from a musical point of view. As the numbers of the views can tell you: 1. Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah 70 000 000 views. 2. Rufus wainwright - Hallelujah 11 000 000 views. 3. Alexandra Burke - Hallelujah 41 000 000 views. 4. Bon Jovi - Hallelujah 30 000 000 views. 5. Susan Boyle - Hallelujah 19 000 000 views. 6. K.D. Lang - Hallelujah 12 000 000 views. AND THEN COMES THIS ONE WICH YOU THINK IS THE BEST VERSION: 7. John Cale - Hallelujah 8 000 000 views. And these views are about with the truth. Jeffs version is the best one. Only change for me is that Rufus comes next. Your bad music taste is caused by your IQ. You understand too little of music so your music taste mirrors that. Maybe someday it will change for the better way. -Your Master

As a fellow atheist, I wish that we could be seen as simply "those who do not believe in a god" as opposed to "those angry kids rejecting their forced Sunday School/Catechism." As with believers, we are each individuals with our own unique views on life and life's greatest questions. I personally don't mind anyone who professes a belief so long as it isn't infringing upon my decision against such a choice. I just want us all to love one another.

I've heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing HallelujahHallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah HallelujahYour faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you She tied you to a kitchen chair She broke your throne, she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the HallelujahHallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah HallelujahBaby, I've been here before I know this room, I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you I've seen your flag on the Marble Arch Love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken HallelujahHallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah HallelujahThere was a time you let me know What's really and going on below But now you never show it to me, do you? I remember when I moved in you The holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was HallelujahHallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah HallelujahMaybe there's a God above And All I ever learned from love Was how to shoot at someone who out drew you And it's not a cry you can hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken HallelujahHallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah HallelujahHallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Songwriters ZEKLEY, GARY/BOTTLER, MITCH/KENT, WAYNE DOUGLAS

+TechnicalOtaku - John Cale's version is more earnest spare direct and beautiful, like an old Church song or anthem, while Jeff Buckley's more or less copies the Cale interpretation with a more ballad-y & pretty, less starkly emotional approach. Cale's version demands more from the listener, and hearing it along with the movie is definitely compelling.

I like to think its because even though he has lived away for so many decades, John Cale still speaks with a Dyfed accent (county in Wales, now called Carmarthenshire). John Cale is certainly one of our (nation of Wales) best exports. I live in Llandybie, about 6 miles from his birthplace of Garnant. A truly beautiful region in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons national Park.

I think he does a fantastic version. He's one of the few covers who actually stay true to the song and don't just sing it because it's popular and sounds 'artsy'. It's one of those beautiful songs that has been beaten to death by far too many mediocre, corny covers. If you're a musician and you want to cover a Cohen song, you better think long and hard about if you can actually add anything to Hallelujah. If you can't, there's about 50 or 60 other masterpieces he's come out with that you can take a swing at without coming off as pretentious.
