Hallelujah cover

Leonard Cohen wrote this song, which first appeared on his 1984 album Various Positions. Initially it did not achieve significant commercial success. However, a rerecorded version by John Cale in 1991 brought the song wider popularity. This led to Jeff Buckley's 1994 rendition, which was later ranked 259th on Rolling Stone's 2004 list of greatest songs.
