Dammit! I knew there was a quality Hallelujah song. But I couldn’t get Israel’s name out of my head to find who sang the cover.

:ok_hand:t3: Great song.

Boys of Summer by The Ataris.
Sailing by Rod Stewart.
A New England by Kirsty McCall.
Sound of Silence by Disturbed ( as a massive S&G fan I reserve the right to like the Disturbed version )
