Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' Is The 'Most Perfect Song In The World', Claims Bono

U2 band frontman, Bono has called Canadian singer Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' as the "most perfect song in the world".

This claim is made by Bono in Alan Light's new book "The Holy or the Broken: Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley, and the Unlikely Ascent of 'Hallelujah'," NME reported.

Cohen's epic song 'Hallelujah' featured in his 1984 studio album "Various Positions."

Various artists have shown their love of the track. "This song is pretty much indestructible," said singer and pianist Regina Spektor. "The song keeps coming up, and every time it's like it's brand new. It sounds new every time you hear it," said Patrick Stump of rock band, Fall Out Boy.

"I attempt to explore the unprecedented path of this song - a protracted snowball effect that, over the course of several decades, has turned 'Hallelujah' into one of the most loved, most performed, and most misunderstood compositions of all time, " said Light, Hollywood Reporter reported.

"Cohen's simple, indelible melody and striking, ambiguous words - a mesmerizing synthesis of prayer and sexuality - combined with the irresistible force of that universal, one-word chorus add up to a song that is able to serve as a celebration and a lament, a versatile symbol of triumph and sorrow, heartbreak and wisdom," Light added.

Recently, actor and comedian, Adam Sandler preformed a spoof version of the song at the 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy Concert in New York.

Many music artists have covered Cohen's 'Hallelujah.' They include late Jeff Buckley, Bono, Willie Nelson, Rufus Wainwright, k.d. lang and The X Factor winner Alexandra Burke, NME reported.

Cohen, 78 wrapped up his tour of Canada and U.S. in December. He will start his European leg of tour June 18, 2013 in Paris, France, at Palais Omnisports de Bercy and he will perform in UK at London's O2 Arena June 21, 2013.
