The song playing in the background is one of the most played songs in history, with over 300 cover versions, both in the studio and on live shows. This is Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”, an excellent song that talks about the romantic and tragic tales from the Bible, such as King David and Bathsheba, and Delilah’s betrayal of Samson. According to Leonard, “There are many kinds of Hallelujahs,” and this song, like the prayer word itself, can be performed in many ways. In all honesty, Cohen’s version is my personal favorite, so I’m sharing it with you, and hope you’ll enjoy it too.
