In this video, 'How to Cover it Badly', I look at various ways that ‘Hallelujah’ is covered by taking a look at Jeff Buckley, Leonard Cohen, Ed Sheeran, Bono and a range of other musicians from YouTube, Pop Idol and The Voice. I explain various aspects of the song by investigating its lyrics and the underlying structure that makes it tick! Along the way, I get a bit mean too! (Belated to Leonard Cohen and extremely belated to Jeff Buckley). Leonard Cohen Version Jeff Buckley Version Hilarious Bono Version Baby guitar: the best YouTube video I found all week Legend parents and their lucky baby (7 million views. Wow. One day...) Pitchfork Article about Cohen and Hallelujah Please put requests and suggestions in the comments below. I read them all! EDIT: I mistakenly call a trombone a 'trumpet' towards the end of this piece.
