Across the globe there is stress and strife. War, hate and intolerance continue to rage in several pockets of the world, sometimes even in our own backyards. It can be overwhelming and scary. Fear and worry are powerful and some of those hurting may need solace and hope.
In honor of the late Leonard Cohen, here are two versions of his song Hallelujah. (Though there are hundreds out there, these are my favorite so far.) And then, the man himself singing his masterpiece.
May they offer you joy and peace.

These are great. I had never heard his own version.

Frankly, I had not either! A shame you don’t really appreciate or know too much about an artist until they are gone.

Nato, on my walks for the last few months I have been listening to Him over and over, with some consolation. Last week was horrific enough, and then sadly he was gone. But his voice and music will last forever.

He had such a powerful voice. I think I heard so many of his things and never realized who he really was. And I adore this song. The versions I chose were very powerful to me and so different. Yet, they all had the same glorious message.
