Right heres a question

Would you agree with this statement.

Halleluya is a popular song sung by leonard cohen/jeff buckley et al that is commonly known especially to people over 35 regardless of your favourite genre.

Agree or disagree?

Agree, although I'd say a lot of younger people will know the Rufus Wainwright version from Shrek too.

It's a lovely version, really simple and honest. It's beautiful.

She would, but as the version is underplayed I felt it worth being explicit.

But not to be confused with "Hallelujah" the winning song in the 1979 Eurovision Song Contest, performed by Gali Atari and Milk & Honey for Israel.

Well c'mon you never expected me to give a sensible answer did you...

No I think many people from all age groups know of it now, especially as it has been popularised by xfactor type shows on both sides of the Atlantic.

I find most covers of it to be weak, soulless and insipid - but then I know it from the original by the composer, love him or loathe him, he gives his songs their character and spirit.
