Hey, if any version of “Hallelujah” is going to get overplayed, it should be Cohen’s, you know, since he wrote the song and all. Also, there are a ton of bad versions out there, which tend to treat the verses simply as a means to get to the big emotional release of the chorus. And that tends to be how most movie and TV productions utilize the song as well. Doesn’t matter that the lyrics don’t really represent what’s going on in the scene, just gimme that crescendo! That’s what irritates me.
I'm partial to the Jeff Buckley cover, but rarely hear the Cohen version - definitely not overplayed in my book.
