"Hallelujah"为加拿大著名游吟诗人、民谣歌手LeonardCohen在1985年创作的歌曲,收录在其专辑"VariousPositions"中。其歌词充满诗意,内涵丰富,曲调缓慢忧伤,加上Leonard沧桑嗓音的低吟浅唱,演绎出了一种清淡而悠长的回味。
Hallelujah的版本很多,其中最有影响力的还是美国著名创作型歌手JeffBuckley的翻唱版本,被收录在其1994年的专辑"Grace"中。Jeff被U2的Bono形容为“噪海中的纯净一滴”,他的声音明丽甜蜜又性感飘渺,诠释起悲伤和记忆来却更令人印象深刻。
对"Hallelujah"的翻唱,将原作者LeonardCohen和同样唱过此歌的JohnCale两位大师都远远地抛到了后面。Buckley在这道歌中表达出的全新洞见,是听别人的版本10遍也无法体会得到的(据说连JoanOsbome这样的狂人,也曾经每天要听三四遍Jeff"Hallelujah")。相对于原唱的清淡余韵,Jeff版本给人更多灵魂的提炼感,令人动容。
