This is a rare group rendition of the song that is pretty unique – The Blind Anabaptist Blues, out of Chicago

K.D. Lang does a pretty amazing rendition. (Available at YouTube.) Bon Jovi has made an atempt.

It really isn’t a religious song. It does draw from a religious metaphor, and has a deeply spiritual musical feel, but it is a song about seduction and heart break (even betrayal).

Reminds me of Prince and his intertwining of sexual and religious themes.

The one I like is now on “Feast of Love” with Morgan Freeman and Radha Mitchell. The the singers name is something like Jeff Ouckley – hard to read it on the credits

Fantastic versions. I love the Jeff Buckley version. The Emma Cherry and the Damien Rice Versions are great too.
If you look on you tube there are loads on there.
Great choices. I simply love this song.

My Old Kentucky blog has audio links to dozens of versions. I’ve not heard them all. I have watched all these videos, and more. My favorite is also the amazing Allison Crowe.

There’s lots of discussion of Hallelujah lately and its popularity keeps growing, whether religious or not.
