Leonard Cohen most beautiful song
For four decades, Leonard Cohen has been one of the most important and influential songwriters of our time, a figure whose body of work achieves greater depths of mystery and meaning as time goes on. His songs have set a virtually unmatched standard in their seriousness and range. Sex, spirituality, religion, power – he has relentlessly examined the largest issues in human lives, always with a full appreciation of how elusive answers can be to the vexing questions he raises.
On March 31, 2009, Leonard Cohen released Live In London, his first new recording since 2004’s Dear Heather. This collection available in DVD and 2 CD formats was recorded live on July 17, 2008 at London’s 02 Arena, one of Europe’s largest indoor venues, and fully captures and recreates the extraordinary show that earned Cohen more than 80 five-star reviews for performances during his fall 2008 UK tour. Live In London offers definitive performances of classic songs drawn from the artist’s 40-year repertory.
The most beautiful song of is Hallelujah.
"Hallelujah" is a song written by Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen originally released on his 1984 studio album Various Positions. A significantly changed live recording of the song from 1988 was released on the 1994 album, Cohen Live, but neither version achieved wide commercial success outside of Cohen’s fans until December 2008 when Cohen’s studio recording reached #36 on the UK’s single chart. In April 2009, a new live recording of the song was released on a 2CD and DVD collection titled Leonard Cohen: Live In London. (wikipedia)
