I like this song, plus John's voice, so I enjoyed this. Isn't this on Shrek or something?

upon listening to this i've realized that no matter who sings the song though, it still sends shivers down my spine at certain parts.

ehhhhhhhhhhh

it was ok, I don't really think he added anything of his own to the song so its kind of not worth listening to if you've heard other renditions...This Message Edited On 07.23.07

Ari Hest does the best cover of this song, I think.

The version on Cohen Live is awesome. Buckley's would be my favorite, except he leaves out my favorite verse. Willie Nelsons version is real good, too, he left the "stand before the lord of song" verse in.This Message Edited On 07.23.07

Did anyone else catch the strange mini-bear-like bon jovi growl @ 2:32??? I must've looped it back to myself about a thousand times crying with laughter....
