Desert Island Song (2): Hallelujah, Jeff Buckley

Dear all!
Long time no posting, but the coming days I am into a posting mood. Today, another great song that might be a little bit standard as many find it great as well: Hallelujah, by Jeff Buckley (and not the horrible version by Lisa, who is a great singer but not in this song). Usually a cover of a song is not better than the original, but in this case Buckley's version is better than the original by Leonard Cohen.
The melancholic minor guitar intro has so much feeling in it, and it sets the mood for the entire song. At the start of te song you can hear him sigh, which gives me goose bumps. And then he starts singing. The beautiful lyrics, sung by the Jeff Buckley with his fragile voice. The song, to me, is a true declaration of love, and it touches you right in your heart. Please listen to it if you do not know it yet, for it will take you away and never leave your heart again.
