I can't hear it without thinking of John Cale...

... or the man himself:

John Cale was the real arranger of Hallelujah, even if he didn't sing it all that well. Buckley took over the piano arrangement and sang it pretty but over-signified. (Rufus Wainwright ditto).

I'd as soon hear Cohen drone it, but his arrangement sucks, as often.

Re: Saturday Open Thread (none / 1)

I guess I'm just a soft touch for a certain kind of vocal. Whenever Buckley or Laing get to a certain step on that grand staircase of (what, fifths?) my eyes go moist no matter how many times I hear it.

Now where are we going and what's with the handbasket?
