While watching news footage on the death of Michael Jackson, I came across Jeff Buckley singing Leonard Cohen's song, Hallelujah. I was intrigued by Jeff Buckley, as he was drawn to and died in Memphis. YouTube lead me to this live version of Jeff Buckley singing Leonard Cohen's song, Hallelujah., recently in London. I am mesmerized by Cohen's presense in this video. His aged body provides only positive reflections of his strength and the beauty of his song. But after comparing both versions, I find myself listening to Buckley's more often. Why? He seems to be exploring the music as he creates it; it feels less compartmentalized. Cohen is a master, but his approaches start to seem predictable. Buckley's lack of predictability carry you along, as if travelling into uncharted waters. Adventure is always more desirable...
