I absolutley love Hallelujah, although I have not heard the Jeff Buckley version. I have heard a couple of Leonard Cohen's versions (he changes the lyrics up from time to time and usually includes an additional verse that most of the covers I've heard leave out that make the song much more bittersweet) and I adore Rufus Wainwright's cover. He usually plays it at his shows, although he often flubs up the lyrics.
But Leonard Cohen's words just completely rock my world. I bought a book of his poetry once and it is just perfection. I need to own more of his music.
