Hallelujah


I flipped through the channels tonight and came across this song right in the middle in the Haiti benefit concert. It's one that recently became a favorite. I love the original Leonard Cohan version with the other verses, but the harmonies on this version were a special treat. Every time I hear this song I'm arrested by the haunting complexities of the melody and lyric.

"...it's a cold and broken Hallelujah"
-Carmen Rose
