Pentonix..Hallelujah
The best song ever, playing at the RNC. I don't know her name, but the female that sings with the Pentatonix, is just awesome. Sorry guys, probably not your style.

Re: Pentonix..Hallelujah
Song by Leonard Cohen. If you like the song, check out the versions by Jeff Buckley or KD Lang. There is a great performance by Lang on YouTube from the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.

Re: Pentonix..Hallelujah
Agree Jim, Leonard Cohen's melody is one of the most beautiful ever composed and it has seemingly endless variations with versions for Easter, XMAS, Veterans, etc. I enjoy Leonard's original lyrics as well, even in his human brokenness he still cries out Hallelujah. I can identify with that....

Re: Pentonix..Hallelujah
Quote:
Musician John Cale said he asked Cohen for all the lyrics and Cohen faxed him 15 pages of lyrics. A post last year by the people who run Cohen's Facebook page says that all 80 verses have been found and are now at the University of Toronto. The interesting thing about the lyric variations is that some of Cohen's lyrics for the song are pro-religion while others express doubts. So depending on the lyric choices, the song can have different meanings. It's also interesting that Cohen was Jewish and attended synagogue, but was also interested in Catholicism and was an ordained Buddhist monk. Ironically, when he was ordaine,d he took the name Jikan, which means silence. That's probably more than you ever wanted to know, right?
