    that was something else.

    I can think of more beautiful ones but it was lovely.

    The most beautiful song I've ever heard is Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen.

    That was my thought when I read the title of this thread.

    As incredible as that song is, I think he has a few of his own songs that are even more moving, Morning Theft comes to mind.

    The version of Lover, You Should Have Come Over from Live at Sine is a contender too.

    Forgive me my sins, but when I saw him do that live, I went for a piss break. :D

    Well, this is the second most beautiful song I've ever heard. Personally, I think this is the most devastating vocal performance in the history of rock:

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Nah, I actually needed a piss. And a pint. I liked Jeff, but I'm a Tim fan through and through. Sorry for the comparisons, everyone, but Tim sounded like a proper bloke singing, and Jeff was a bit too wet and girly.

    *Runs* :D

    I agree with this more than the Sandy Denny one. It's just one of the most incredible vocals ever. Whoever posted Twilight by Elliott Smith, that may be my vote too.

    Call me obvious, but I really love 'Thunder Road'. The music and lyrics of that song are so incredible. Bruce is the man.
