The Jeff Buckley version is the only version in my opinion. Cohen wrote it but Buckley made it beautiful. Everyone who sings it after pales in comparison.

[@oltoothlessful]

On this song, he pulled his heart out, tore it open, and showed you the deepest parts.

[@piccalillipit9211]

THIS SONG - THIS VERSION tears my heart out every time I hear it - I was in love with a narcissist and only people who have ever been will know the bitter pain that this song stirs in me... She left me bankrupt, homeless; with brain damage from one of her attempts to kill me... Yet - it was worth it... And this was our song... Ive sailed the stratosphere to this song and plunged the Marianas trench of despair to it as well.

[@babylonsister118]

it is partially about the story of King David and when he fell in love with Bathsheba,which caused him to fall out of grace with God. Then Cohen intermingles a part of his own broken relationship in with it. in my opinion Cohen was meant to write it and Jeff was meant to sing it.

[@nikkihatfield2055]

Absolutely!! You nailed it! 🙌🙌🙌

[@heyokaoverdashelly2kangel945]

This is a beautiful description ❤️ Leonard is from my hometown Montreal I wish people can see the beautiful painting they made for him on a building 😊

[@voiceover2191]

Very well put!!!

[@PortgasDASCE]

It’s also describe Samson who’s folly was women, and when he told her the secret to his strength she cut his hair in his sleep, and the Philistine men came in and captured him. His eyes were the gouged out and he was chained between two pillars to be mocked. I’m his final moments he asked God to renew his strength one last time, and he pulled the two pillars down causing the building to collapse, killing himself as well as his enemies. The kitchen chair line is in reference to the initial lie he told the woman he was with. He told her his weakness was brand new ropes, and she tied him to a kitchen chair in his sleep only for him to break out. Then after several go arounds he revealed to her his hair was the source of his strength and once she knew the truth she betrayed him.

[@markclark1429]

Cohen was meant to write everything.

[@johnkasbohm7839]

I know Leonard Cohen wrote all these genius verses and the song has been covered beautifully by many singers. Imo, though, nothing tops this version. Jeff's guitar nuance beats anything, and he sings like it's his one and only chance at this song. Thanks for reacting.

[@thedeepfriar745]

It just feels so intimate and personal, all of that pain. It’s just him, that Fender Stratocaster, and a distortion pedal. I don’t think there’s even really any mixing or any kind of editing, it’s just him.

[@lollyc832]

Please listen to this version by Myles Kennedy! He even plays it with Jeff's guitar. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmnVh5WHbtemrpY

[@thetek2006]

Jeff was one of a kind. His music feels like it has a lot of melancholy and pathos but he clearly understood that some music is a way of allowing the listener a glimpse of the transcendent, so you come away from listening to his music somehow feeling melancholic, reflective and joyous. Check out his version of Corpus Christi Carol which is a piece written over 500 years ago and is always overlooked and is another interpretive tour de force.

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

Another slice of pure beauty and melancholy by Jeff Buckley is Lilac Wine, it's another cover he owned

[@HidingFromFate]

YES!!!

[@Happyheretic2308]

Oh dear god, yes ....

[@sfbayareagirl]

This song is beautiful and really the only cover of “Hallelujah” I even care for. For an utterly sublime live performance of it, check out the one from his Chicago concert. You can hear a pin drop. It’s stunning. Cheers sister and keep on rockin.

One of the rare occasions a song coulda gone to anyone 🙄 literally anyone... but jeff covers it and makes every other cover obsolete... this song was his.... no one could have done this justice... I've heard many covers and none even come close to jeffs... he made the song haunting..and meaningful..when you hear other folk sing it...it isnt right..it sounds off.... and it doesnt make you feel existential dread... RIP Jeff..

[@fredholland1169]

Was written from the perspective of someone who had lived a lot of life. He knew the pains that can break us and when we still survive, that is the thing that pulls the "hallelujah" from us. It isn't the victory, it is the survival. Most people find out about it through the trials of life.

[@tlockerk]

Leonard Cohen took over ten years to perfect this song; at one point having 50 stanzas. He used a lot of images from his Jewish faith (King Davidś fall) and struggled with depression. Those who covered the song took what worked for them. Elvis Costello did a cover, you can year it w piano by a ... Mr Cale then Jeff picked it up and make it a hit...it became more popular after he died. A tear-jerker and makes your heart ache. God draws straight with many crooked and imperfect lines.

I love how Cohen takes from the Bible story of King David & Bathsheba. Referencing the cutting of his hair, which took away his strength. So well written...poetry.

[@chasetoy1087]

The first verse and the “your faith was strong but you needed proof / you saw her bathing on the roof / her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya” lines are references to David and Bathsheba. The words, “…and she cut your hair” are a reference to Samson and Delilah.

wonderful song his voice pierces us with emotions ... Rip Jeff Buckley he died in mysterious circumstances it's so sad especially when I listen to Allelujah😥💚

[@BobiG1964]

I honestly don't think it was mysterious. The Mississippi has a wicked undertow. It was nothing but a tragedy. The irony is that his body came up at Beale Street. I used to see him NYC before he was famous. His voice is mesmerizing. Cheers.

[@thucy2]

I wish he'd sung the last verse, which Cohen always sings. It's a statement that despite everything his faith remains. The last lines are: "And even though it all went wrong./I'll stand before the Lord of song/with nothing on my tongue but hallelujah." It's a truly beautiful sentiment.

[@albaPhenom]

Jeff Buckley never got the recognition while he was alive, his talent was really celebrated post-mortem and now it's hard to find a Top 100 albums of all time list which doesn't have Grace listed on it.

It came out in ‘84 actually, and John Cale’s version in ‘91 was actually the one that made it much more well-known among critics and listeners. Buckley’s version, however, did get acclaim of its own also.
