You know the ones - you hear it and everything else stops, fades away until there's just that song playing directly into you and reminding you of something you can't quite place.
Last time that happened was the start of the year, "Don't Speak in English" by Chip Taylor & Carrie Rodriguez.
And it's happened again, last song a CD done for me.
"Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley.
Just Buckley and his guitar, plain and simple. An incredible voice, makes Thom Yorke seem like the gimpy student-wannabe he is.
A soaring, soulful voice with a beautiful, sensual cover of a Leonard Cohen song.
Check it out if you've never heard it.
"Well, maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
It's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah"

Oh, and yes. Hallelujah. Get it. Shut up. Listen. Lament at the not-living status of Mr JB.
Nadine is nice too.

No shame in it, Cheryl Tweedie is bloody gorgeous, even if a violent racist.

Goatboy, catch me on MSN some time, I'll send you a live version of it, absolutely perfect.
You're right, it is one of those songs, everything stops when it comes on, it's beautiful. I was reading Glamorama by Bret Easton Ellis while listening to Grace, and during a rather vividly descriptive chapter detailing the explosion of a terrorist bomb, Hallelujah came on and it oddly fit the mood.
Without patronising you, if you haven't got Grace the album, I suggest you do. There's other stuff out there but much of it is very samey, just stick to the one album proper.

And you're questioning my manland credentials?!? What's wrong with finding the idea of rutting meaninglessly and violently with 5 young lovlies, preferably simultaneously?

That's odd, I did exactly the same at the weekend after trying to deal with the sheer mouthbreathing encountered on a trip into Harlow town centre (having no car meant I was forced to deal with the troglydytes here).
Again, after a good 2 minutes of single-breath expletive filled ranting at various zombies there followed a silence.
