Thank you for posting this. I hadn't listened to it in years. One of the recent Malcolm Gladwell podcasts was on the etymology of the Hallelujah cover. Cohen wrote 80 verses before recording it, John Cale and then Jeff Buckley covered it and it went on from there. Of course Gord didn't follow this path and chose the verses that no one else does. The final one really hit me listening to it now.

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Thank You
