hallelujah
I haven't just been sat here writing posts all day. I also did some recording.
Now while I'm reluctant to add to the hundreds of often pretty shit versions of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah I have had a go myself.
Nothing spectacular although I'm happy enough with it. The main difference between this recording and most others is that it's unaccompanied, it's a home recording so there's some ambient background, and rather than burst into the chorus I drop down to something quieter, more fragile and hesitant.

I genuinely do appreciate the kind comment though. To be honest I was a bit iffy about even posting the audio.
So thanks again.
I think a large part of making this work is actually the recording. I recorded straight on to my Zoom H4N using 3D inbuilt mics. They're louder and produce a more intimate, encompassing feel.
I tried an external mic, and while it produced a cleaner sound with less noise it was also quieter and much flatter.
