Two Hallelujah (k.d. lang & Leonard Cohen)

Watched k.d. sang Hallelujah at “2010 Vancouver Olympic Opening Ceremony” and really enjoyed it. Here are two other versions I enjoyed.

k.d. lang‘s version.

Leonard Cohen‘s version.

2017 Feb 5th update: I Loe this “must listen” podcast episode “Hallelujah” (~39 minutes, download or listen/stream here) by Malcolm Gladwell. Colin Marshall in an Open Culture article about the podcast wrote,

“Artists of the Picasso model execute their works seemingly at a stroke, often after long periods spent consciously or unconsciously assembling a coherent vision. Artists of the Cézanne model execute, execute, and execute again, refining their way from an imperfect first product to a much more perfect final one.“
