The sound track from Shrek 1 had a song called Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright.
A clip of him singing it is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmbQEQltOwMSome contents or functionalities here are not available due to your cookie preferences!This happens because the functionality/content marked as “Google Youtube” uses cookies that you choosed to keep disabled.

My favorite version of the song, well behind the writer Leonard Cohen, is the version by “Over the Rhine,” which can be seen and heard here…
Over the Rhine is an Ohio-based band that never got very much fame but they have made incredible albums for about 15 years now. Quite good, as this clip shows.

You’re right Ron. She’s a great singer and does the song very well.

Thank you for noticing, Mike. ;o)
I thought that you’d like it. I have been listening to OTR since 1991 when they got picked up by IRS Records for a short spell. Their “Patience” CD is an incredible piece of work and if you can find a copy, I highly recommend it. It doesn’t contain this song but it’s brilliant, nonetheless.

Mike,
Right song, wrong version.Ron,
LOVE that version and sounds like the one that I heard. Goose bumps!
The Jeff Buckley version is also good and has some good instrumentation at the beginning.Thanks to both of you for answering.
