Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen

Tonight I have been listening an old recording from some German TV programm on YouTube - Leonard Cohen singing Hallelujah with a choir standing in the background under some arches.
I tried to listen to interpretations by other singers but kept coming back to Leonard Cohen himself.
Try this link, perhaps it works

Over 3.8 million viewings of this particular song on YouTube!

Oh I so love Leonard! I have followed him right from his beginnings. I have many favorite songs but I think "Alexandra's Leaving" was written especially for me by Cohen! :)

His poetry is deep and touching.

Once in Olso when making a restaurant reservation, my husband was asked if he was THAT Mr. Cohen! I love both Mr. Cohens!
