Well he did right Halleljuah, I can't believe I flicked onto BonJovi covering it a few night sago on tv, it was fucking horrible as most cover versions are, but my faveorite is John Cales version...
as for everybody knows, out of the 50 or so songs on my mp3 player for the last week and a half this is one of them, so I've been listening to it a lot lately.
He is playing here in a month or so, I'm thinking of going but it depends on if I'm working or not as tickets are 50 quid...

John Cale - Heartbreak Hotel

John Cale's version of Hallelujah and is actually quite beautiful. I enjoyed it far more than Buckley's (everybody loves Buckley's version, but I always preferred the more creepy Cohen or even the more drawling Wainwright over the melodic Jeff). Good recommendation. I honestly have a soft spot for singer/songwriters who can tickle those smooth ivories...
His version of Heartbreak Hotel is pretty spectacular. I feel as though it belongs in some kind of absurd film noir - Not Lynch, but definitely Lynch-like.
