elctrc 's review for:

The Holy or the Broken: Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley, and the Unlikely Ascent of "Hallelujah" by Alan Light

2.0

---

I'm not sure I had high hopes to begin with -- it did re-kindle my love for this song. But then expertly squashed it with droll tale after droll tale of how the song has been used ad nauseam in television shows, films, commercials, and by teen pop idols. It may turn me on to listening to some more Leonard Cohen, which is always a good thing. Of course, I've had my obsession with Buckley, and maybe I'll return to that as well for a spell.

p.s. While I've considered doing a cover myself, I think I might sit this one out :/
