    Jeff Buckley was born in California's Orange County in 1966. On May 29, 1997 during an evening swim in the Wolf River near Memphis, he died in a tragic drowning accident. In the 90's He had emerged in New York City's avant-garde club scene as one of the most remarkable musical artists of his generation, acclaimed by audiences, critics, and fellow musicians alike. The following lyrics are Buckley’s version of the Leonard Cohen song, Hallelujah:

    I heard there was a secret chord
    That David played and it pleased the lord
    But you don't really care for music, do you
    Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
    The minor fall and the major lift
    The baffled king composing hallelujah

    Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

    Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
    You saw her bathing on the roof
    Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
    She tied you to her kitchen chair
    She broke your throne and she cut your hair
    And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

    Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

    Baby I’ve been here before
    I've seen this room and I’ve walked this floor
    I used to live alone before I knew you
    I've seen your flag on the marble arch
    But love is not a victory march
    It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

    Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

    Well there was a time when you let me know
    What's really going on below
    But now you never show that to me do you
    But remember when I moved in you
    And the holy dove was moving too
    And every breath we drew was hallelujah

    Well, maybe there's a god above
    But all I’ve ever learned from love
    Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
    It's not a cry that you hear at night
    It's not somebody who's seen the light
    It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

    Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
