Leonard Cohen
First video of it by the Man himself, recorded on a German soundstage. Video quality not the best, but the dead leaves blowing across the stage ... perfect
Jeff Buckley ~ The OC - Marissa's death (first season finale),
Mr Buckley makes the song famous. His definitive version is used in this video montage. With this song, a TV story milking for tears comes alive, gives death its due. With the music, it feels real ... the loss of someone you never knew
KD Lang
Ms Lang's Juno Awards recording from Winnipeg, 2005, stirring, likely the most-often played version
Kurt Nilsen, Espen Lind, Askil Holm, Alejandro Fuentes
Tight harmonies from the quartet singing the Shrek Song (Hallelujah)
Bon Jovi
A strong performance, but watch his eyes at the end when he returns to the real world from that other place where musicians live
Alexandra Burke ~ on The X Factor
Another, this with glitz. There are hundreds to explore before turning to his other music
Added
Pentatonix ~ Five voices, a capella, on a high plains desert
