![]() ![]() This very good documentary is more than an account of how Hallelujah came to be Leonard Cohen’s best-known song. Judging by the number of players who know it among those who turn up at parties with guitars, I gather the chords are easy to play too. Those bits are easy to harmonise with, and I speak as someone prone to bursting into song in the shower or with a few sherbets under my belt. Not many people know all the words (I know a few verses – I’m annoying that way) but everyone knows that stately ascending melody – the fourth, the fifth – and everyone knows to chime in with hallelujah! when it comes after the minor fall and the major lift, and everyone can do those sweet lilting repetitions in the last line. ![]() Everyone knows Hallelujah, Leonard Cohen’s modern hymn to spirituality. ![]()
