Leonard Cohen是在加拿大Montreal 出生的猶太裔音樂人。現在已經78歲高齡。下面這段是從維機百科抄來的有關他的各項榮譽。
Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame Prince of Asturias Award for literature。 我最喜歡的他的歌是 Hallelujah 以及 In My Secret Life.
介紹他，當然要介紹他的這首 Hallelujah。這首歌實際是他在80年代寫的。但是，經過了很長的時間，這首歌才成為一個Hit，這要感謝歌手Jeff Buckley， 是他使這首歌廣受推崇。Leonard Cohen在一個訪問里說，他最喜歡Jeff Buckley的對這首歌的cover。Bon Jovi也曾經說過，當聽到Jeff Buckley唱這首歌時，就知道這首歌將成為一個Hit。後來這首歌被幾百個歌手演唱過，還被翻譯成多種語言。
但是，我最喜歡的版本還是加拿大的女歌手K.D.Lang的cover，特別是在溫哥華冬季奧運會上的演唱，非常震撼人心。K.D.Lang是出生在加拿大Alberta的女歌星，已經出櫃很久了，據說當時還引起了她家鄉保守人民的憤怒。哈哈。 下面就是她在冬奧會上的演唱。
I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Herbeautyin the moonlight overthrew you She tied you to a kitchen chair She broke your throne, and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Baby I have been here before I know this room, I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you. I've seen your flag on the marble arch Love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah There was a time when you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show it to me, do you? And remember when I moved in you The holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Maybe there’s a God above But all I’ve ever learned from love Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you It’s not a cry you can hear at night It’s not somebody who has seen the light It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah You say I took the name in vain I don't even know the name But if I did, well, really, what's it to you? There's a blaze of light in every word It doesn't matter which you heard The holy or the broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah 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 Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah |
