Instrumental version of Hallelujah!

alison6692

Hello

I am hoping somone can help me.

I am getting married in July an would love to walk down the aisle to this song - however the words are very sad and so the instrumental version is more appropraitte- however I cannot seem to find it.

Its the song thats on Shrek

Its been covered by


Loenard Cohen
Jeff Buckley
Kathryn Williams
Rufus Wainright

I cannot find it anywhere. Somone has offered to record it for me but at a cost of £75 -eeek.

you can buy it from amazon .
It is an instrumental on the end of a Lesbian Canadian film ( :cool: ).

Here is the Leonard Cohen page that shows it's the same song
Good luck and let me us know how you get on :j

Reminds me of a story, probably an urban myth, of a couple who asked for the theme of Robin Hood (the film) to be played as they left the church after their wedding, unfortunatly the person who found the recording was of the older generation and played the theme of the TV series, which goes something like "Robin Hood, Robin Hood riding through the glen, Robin Hood, Robin Hood with his band of men". All the over '50's can join in here! "Loved by the bad, feared by the good, Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Robin Hood" Not quite the romantic song the happy couple had intended. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

PS, I thought you meant the Hallelujah Chorus by Handel, but when somebody else said it's the music in a Canadian Lesbian film I think you must mean something different. Sorry I'm old, don't mock the afflicted!

I saw the lesbian film thingy the other day - Its a rare find now and costs £99 used on amazon - eeeek.

I am having a nightmare trying to find this instrumental version - But I would really really like it.

but could you get someone to play it and record it for you, as far as i am concerned, the Jeff Buckley version is only one guitar, nothing else

I must admit: good choice of song!
