Downie's Hallelujah

Published August 14, 2005 @ 19:18 in Gord Downie's Hallelujah, Music, The Tragically Hip

Thumbs UpUnbeknownst to me, The Tragically Hip's Gord Downie recorded a cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" for the movie "Saint Ralph". It sounds like Downie does the tune justice, adding to the incredible covers and almost-covers of this amazing song.

I can't wait to hear Downie's version. As for the other covers and pseudo covers by Jeff Buckley, Nick Cave, K-OS, K.D. Lang and others, I plan to share these with you all as part of my weekly Wednesday MP3. This Wednesday, we'll start with the best of the bunch, and that means Buckley.

Hallelujah.

Please send! I seriously hope this blog isn't being super closely monitored since I'm trying to get it as part of a Christmas gift for my sweetie. And he's posted, too! Eek!!!
