Story Songs - H: Hallelujah



You know those polls that ask, "If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be?" I think this would be mine.

Hallelujah is a gorgeous song, plus it has so many variations and styles from a talented mix of singers that I never get tired of it. The lyrics flow like poetry and evoke Biblical stories of David and Solomon with a side of pining for heart-aching love. Here are three of my favorite versions:

Rufus Wainwright



Jeff Buckley



Kate Voegele



And, just for fun, here's Cloverton's beautiful Christmas spin on it:

  3. Had to listen to a couple of them. You're right, each one is so different. It wouldn't be my choice, but that's awesome you picked something so spiritual.
