About this masterpiece you should actually need to lose any more big words, but it is commonly referred to as classic and has been covered and adapted countless times. Perhaps you know the version of z. B. by Jeff Buckley now even more because this is used in many series. For me, this original version - how could it be otherwise - but untouchable. Cohen's dark clear powerful voice gives the piece a Grundmelancholie and despair that one is stirred alone of her almost to tears. The perfect background music creates the atmosphere and the lyrics boundaries m. E. to genius. You then still the formidable scene from that very incredibly strong movie in your head, you can feel the message of the song literally. Anyway, the film has one of the best soundtracks that I have / seen heard so far, as most songs are ideal staged on the basis of deep melancholy key scenes. And who does not know Hallelujah in the original, failed incredibly much!
