Hallelujah Revival

Leonard Cohen wrote at least eighty verses over a 5-year stretch to his iconic song, “Hallelujah”, before selecting the four verses released on his “Various Positions” album in 1984. Ten years later, Jeff Buckley chose five of those verses to record what may well be the best cover of Cohen’s classic. In 2007, Kelly Mooney’s parish priest inspired her to write five new verses that are befitting the Christian celebration of Easter. The following is my cover of “Hallelujah” with Mooney’s lyrics.
