I can't stop listening to K.D. Lang's Hallelujah

[burythehatchet]

Its so sad and it reminds me of Shrek, but its so beautiful. Check it out if you get a chance. Its on her new (new to me) release, Hymns of the 49th Parallel.

1. I love the version that is on West Wing

I can't think of the singer right now. But it is excellent too.

I actually bought the whole Shrek CD for it.

8. The best version is Jeff Buckley's.

There are no words.

4. That's probably right.

KD Lang's album is a re-make of a bunch of classics, including a couple of Neil Young classics. After the Gold Rush and Helpless.

5. All music written by Canadian artists

Bono? I'll have to check it out.

14. John Cale does a good version.

11. K.D. Lang is one of the few performers that has never

....Swam with the crowd. She goes her own way in a truly respectable fashion. I had a chance to see her live and not only did she perform
flawlessly but (unlike a lot of Performers), she had the good sense to surround herself with Smokin' monster Musicians.
She's an original!
