I don't think those billion other people think the rest of the world counts as "virtually all".
How hot is that?
HOTTTTT!!!!!1!
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I finally head the John Cale version recently
I looked back, and I'm not sure if you're talking about Hallelujah , but if you are, I didn't like that version either. I just happened on one by kd lang, which I've yet to listen to properly, and I've tended towards collecting them.
I read on livejournal the other day how the original Cohen version and the Buckley version have different verses--apparently Buckley added some. And then, when Cohen recorded Hallelujah, he used Buckley's version. The ins and outs of this song get more fascinating the more I learn. And I just thought it was pretty when I first heard it.

It's my favorite. I just like Cale's delivery and the arrangement. This might be because it was the first one i heard, in the movie Basquiat.
And SA, I didn't know Buckley had added lyrics! Do yoou remember whose journal that was in?

Um. I can look. I should have flagged it, because at the time I thought it was really interesting.

I *love* the Ari Hest version that you put on one of the CDs that you sent me.

No big deal if you can't fiind it, SA. Thanks for checking.

He's a neat guy. That's pretty much a clear cover of the Buckley version, as is the Wainwright version, but I haven't encountered another style with such emotion.

Damn. I couldn't find the song title, so I extrapolated.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I know that a verse in the Buckley version isn't in the k.d. lang version, but I don't know if it was added or not. (It's the one with the line "Remember when I moved in you, and the holy dove was moving too, and every breath we drew was hallelujah". At least, I think that's how it goes.) I have several versions of this one too.
