Well I may have just heard the most moving version during the PBS special "Leonard Cohen - Tower Of Song". KD Lang kicked butt with with a gut busting, passionate and soaring rendition of this song. Her phrasing of the lyrics was perfect.

SORRY> I didn't know this was the same version that was posted above. It deserves to be heard.

Near Atlanta, GA but not too near!
I've sold a couple pair of speakers using this song, but my go-to is the Pentatonix version. It is not a flawless recording, but it can stir the soul.

I LOVE Pentatonix - and their version of this song is excellent - but totally different from KD Lang's. Their music is just fun to listen to as is "Straight No Chaser".

And to wander even further Off Topic: Check out Straight No Chaser's "It's All About The Bass"
