Yes this is a thread about a song :P

[Electra Heart]

Sooo the song, most people know, is called Hallelujah. Sounds very religious, but... It really isn't when you think about it.

Anyways, here's the original, along with some of my favourite covers.

What do you think of the song? Like it, hate it, bleh.

[Lego]

Made by a canadian ;) leonard coehn

[WickedWeekend]

Awesome song. Love the Leonard Coehn version.

I actually think we had a thread about this a few months back but I can't be bothered to find it....

[Mortal Coil]

I love it. Admittedly, it's become a little cliche these days, what with everyone covering it, but it's still a nice song.

[Harley Quinn]

I actually hate it, I don't really know why, but I do. Something about it irritates me to high heaven.

[Breakeven]

I actually like it but i dont hear it very often

[Syvelocin]

Stop covering it asdfjk;l

I appreciate that you mentioned Imogen Heap though. She almost has the same Midas touch that Tori Amos has.

I've got to say, the only Christian song I can bear. It's subtle enough for me. Christian songs either have to be very intuitively written or very hilarious (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iUU6jTqB6k) for me to stand them. Otherwise, no. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2w2b033DXCw)

I apologize, I'm atheist. But it's religious nonetheless and still makes me cringe.

[PinkFloyd]

We sang this in my 8th grade boys' choir. (public school)

[rockNroll]

Such a beautiful song. My favorite versions are Jeff Buckley's and Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge's:
