Yet his version left out the most frisson-y verse:

I did my best, it wasn't much

I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch

I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you

And even though it all went wrong

I'll stand before the Lord of Song

With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

This has always been one of my favorite songs, and Buckley's version is particularly beautiful.

This dude only put out one album then fell off a boat into the Mississippi river and drowned. Such a shame.

This song accounts for every time I got laid between the ages of 16-20.

So beautiful, so passionate. This song is so layered with meaning and emotion, I always love hearing it, especially Buckley's version. I wish other talented artists would sing it and just take it to its potential.

Another version by John Boutte. Crowd is noisy at first and he quiets them right down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBoYaesvUuk

This version to me blows the Buckley version out of the water for me, but I dunno that others will think so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dfmm0XxXGDE . Short intro spoken in Norwegian, but the song is in English and you can skip to :15 if you wanna. Four different singers, I don't care so much for the second guys voice, but the refrain's harmonies are amazing, and the third guy's voice and solo is awesome.
