The first time I heard the song Hallelujah was on the season finale of The West Wing from season3 I beleive. The music just so perfectly fit the scenes that were being played.
Haunting is the first word that comes to mind for the opening chords and I absolutely love his voice... I have never heard the original version of the song, but I've heard other covers of it,and they are no where near as good as Buckleys.
IT's just a beautiful song and he was quite a talent.
Live at Sin-E is a great album
He's got another song, The Last Goodbye, ,which Nathalie Merchant has covered... Listen to both versions... decide for yourself which version is better
