minus-squaredaryashkoh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15arrow-down1·1 day agoLyrics from Leonard Cohen song Hallelujah. Don’t listen to it, it is the saddest song ever. You totally should though.
minus-squarefeannag@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·24 hours agoI know a lot of it is nostalgia speaking but I still hold that Jeff Buckley’s version is the best. I think he captures the emotion I feel perfectly in his voice.
minus-squareDiddlydee@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·edit-21 day agoI think Famous Blue Raincoat is sadder. The music is more desolate and his vocals are more forlorn.

minus-squareyucandu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down4·1 day agoIt’s the LONGEST song ever. Folks were like “Hey Leonard, this song is great!” and he took that to mean “I should write some more verses”. There is no setting where it is appropriate to play the entire full length song.
