Sorry that I missed last week. Not sure what happened. But it was missed. Here we go:
The first one is a song I first heard while in high school. Didn’t realize it was a cover and loved it. But it’s the Indigo Girls cover of Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits.
This song has so much raw emotion in it. I liked it a lot. But you can see the original as well by Dire Straits here.
And then Jeff Buckley’s version of Hallelujah is amazing. Simply amazing. It was originally done by Leonard Cohen.

Jeff Buckley – Hallelujah.
I didn’t know Dire Straits even did that song. I listened to the DS version and liked it but still prefer the Indigo Girls’ cover (Mark Knopfler has the hair!). IG’s version has more raw edge to it.
Jeff Buckley does an enchanting “Hallelujah”. Hallelujah!
