I got sucked into a random vortex of songs containing the word Hallelujah while writing a few nights ago. Something about that word makes for magic moments in song. Here’s a few I heard that night and a few more I just plain love.

You can’t do a list like this without a mention of one of the 1,001 covers of Leonard Cohen’s masterpiece.
