Following in the footsteps of (fellow Welshman) John Cale, Jeff Buckley, kd lang, Sheryl Crow, Bon Jovi, et al, Welsh band Brygin have been given permission by Leonard Cohen (touring for the first time in 15 years and in Cardiff tomorrow night) to release their Welsh language version of Hallelujah. Lyrics for those wishing to sing along and compare to the original.

That doesn't sound like I remember it.

Coverville is a wonderful, podcast which collects covers grouped by various themes. Didn't get enough Hallelujah in this thread? Well, both Jeff Buckley and the Rufus Wainwright versions are in the 2007 Coverville Countdown. There are also the Teenage Girls, Allison Crowe, Willie Nelson and Street to Nowhere versions. Not to mention three versions uncredited in the description on the archive page. Of Course there is the two parter Lenard Cohen special edition: 1, 2. The search form was not working for me, but the archive are all on one page and are easily searchable. I have a warm spot in my heart for the Britney Spears show (Toxic by the Chapin sisters!) and I don't care who knows it.
