Song For Friday: Jeff Buckley – Hallelujah

2  comments

You may remember this from Shrek. I think it’s one of the most beautiful songs. It’s a Leonard Cohen song but this performance is haunting. Jeff Buckley died way too young. You can see it here. Another one of those dumb music industry thing where I can’t embed the video.

    I love love love Buckley’s performance of the song. “Brilliant” is so overused, but this is brilliant. I hope Mr. Cohen likes it.
    Years ago the song was used to great effect in an episode of the television show The West Wing.

  2. Michael,
    I had to look this up. It was the episode where CJ falls in love with her security guard and then he is killed in the Bodega.
