A Baffled King Composing Hallelujah


There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah


I have listened to numerous musical artists add their unique vocal charms to Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. It’s a beloved Cohen creation crooned here by K.D. Lang. I adore the fact that K.D. is singing barefoot. She is completely unified with everything that is happening in the moment like a true performer should be. The healthy dose of skepticism, bewilderment and disappointment Cohen infuses into the religious exaltation Hallelujah resonates with my frame of mind at the moment. Thanks Canada!
