I am not familiar with Leonard Cohen that I know of. All my life I have had trouble with my hearing. Discerning words to songs has been nearly impossible. I would … before the computer…search out copies of the lyrics to songs that I found the music haunting me or I found myself… in discord ☺… humming the music endlessly.
Thanks to a ten dollar amplifier for my computer, (an “as seen on tv amplifier 
) I was able to play, and hear the u-tube versions
of Leonard Cohen (awesome…I want to find out more about his writing and music), kd lang … a favorite of mine, and Jeff Buckley,RIP who would have had the 3rd place of those I enjoyed the most.
The following is what I wrote while listening to the song in it’s various renditions.
===========================================================
.
Halleujah ! Hallejuhah !
.
In joy, peace or grief,
invigorating or haunting
soulful and rejoicing
as Hallelujah !, Hallelujah !
is sung
from
deep
within.
Eyes shining,
souls
on
fire.
.
Tonight my spirit
stirred
in
another
place.
.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
(deep sighs,
no
exclamation points)
no
raising of arms
no
praising the Lord
haunting
sad
deep sighs
come
from
within
.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
.
Hallelujah
a new meaning
feels my soul.
of
grief,
sadness,
ripped,
torn,
heart
and
soul.
.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah .
sadness
and grief.
our greatest
losses..
.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
from
the
depths
.
no
raising of arms
no
praising the Lord
haunting
sad
deep sighs
come
from
within
.
.
You are among toads
