Halleluja Jeff Buckley/Leonard Cohen cover by Chris Phillips

It's December in Boston and it's about 60 degrees out tonight. I don't like it. Reaks too much of global warming and all. I'd rather have it bitter cold. But at least there's a nice hard warm rain to go with it which is exactly how I like my rain. I set up camp in the garage to record Halleluja Jeff Buckley style with the rain pouring down outside (and inside). I mess up a bit but it's not like anyone could ever hold a candle to Jeff Buckley anyway so why even bother trying to shoot for perfection, right?!
If you haven't heard this song before do yourself a favor and listen to the Jeff Buckley version or the original by Leonard Cohen.
Check out my some of my originals on YouTube including "whatever happened to you", "maya", "judy blue", "the need", "control freak" and "kiss it goodbye". More to come!
Thanks everyone!

this is so beautiful, one of the best covers. you easily leave bon jovi behind you, honestly.

and, how about your career? are you famous already? ;-)

i wish you all the best, you are really very talented.

[morningbell71]

thanks! No, not famous. I'm working on a solo album right now though. If you send me your email I'll send you an mp3 of one of the tunes that is about 75% finished.

Take care,

Chris

That was awesome, one of the best covers of that song on here. I think I have heard all of them, and yours is as good as K.D.'s or Buckleys, maybe even better than Buckleys.

[morningbell71]

Thanks but honestly, I can't accept that compliment. Buckley is untouchable, really. Such a loss that he's gone.
