With regard to “Hallelujah”, I too prefer Buckley’s version to Cohen’s. Have you heard Susanna and the Magical Orchestra’s version on Melody Mountain?

I haven’t heard that, but will definitely search for it. I have heard Cash and Apple’s cover of “Bridge Over Troubled Water” which was OK, despite my fondness for both of them. I remember the first time I ever heard/saw Fiona Apple, on Saturday Night Live– she was stunning in pretty much every sense of the word.

Have you heard the Johnny Cash-Fiona Apple “Father to Son”? Sounds like Cash is singing to his son post-”The Wanderer”(U2’s Zooropa)

That and Weather Report’s “Birdland” are the only thing I can recall ever getting me close to tears.

No, I really mean “toothy”

“By way of Jeff Buckley” meaning that I recognize that Cohen authored it, but the version I prefer is Buckley’s…

Your therapist is “Toothy”? Is she also “toothsome”? I’d prefer the latter.

“Hallelujah” presses me to the point of tears almost every time. “By way of Jeff Buckley”? What does that mean?
