Just heard Prince doing hallelujah ! Recorded from L.A. (I think his home...not sure).
Anyway, WOW. Fantastic, emotive, unreal version of the song. | |

 Hallelujah as in the Leonard Cohen song?! (Made most popular by Jeff Buckley)
I have got to hear this! Do you know if this is a recent recording? | |

He didn't butcher the lyrics like he did with "Creep", did he? “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

I have got to hear this! Do you know if this is a recent recording? This is my question, too. I would be impressed if Prince started listening to Leonard Cohen. | |

But I would be impressed if he indeed was familiar with Cohen. 
It's a brilliant song but has been DONE so many times! I think Buckley's is my favorite version. kd lang hit it out of the park and Dylan rocked it also, and of course the orig. by Cohen... If Prince did cover this tune, I'd be very curious to hear what he did with it. | |

that's what i'm saying.  i hate when folks just start threads and don't explain what they're talking about. i wonder how many orgnotes this person's got since they started this thread?  at least when i brag about stuff, i explain myself. i, for one, would not like any orgnotes concerning this song.

Sorry, I only heard it once...I don't have it, but the person who recorded it played it for me.
It's just him with an acoustic guitar and it's fucking amazing. I think it was the full version....no lyric changes that I know of, but I don't know the original backwards and forwards. no falsetto...the one word that comes to mind again and again is emotive. I believe it is very recent, by the way. [Edited 9/1/08 10:22am] | |

[Edited 9/1/08 10:22am] So he sang the "maybe there's a God above" last line? im curious to if he did.. cause knowing him he wouldn't dare sing that last line. | |
