The Ava Adore album is far more melancoly.

Hallelujah - Jeff Buckly

Was actually a Leonard Cohen track, but Jeff has a better voice.

Also covered by Rufus Wainwright, which is the version I personally prefer.

I might have to look into that...

I do believe that's the version that was used in Shrek, so if you've seen the movie, you probably heard it.

There are actually two versions in Shrek, but yeah it's one of them.

Glastonbury festival is in June and Pearl Jam are in europe at the time with no date booked for the festivals friday. Yellow ledbetter in front of 100,000 happy campers would be, well, religious.
