K.D. Lang

I know now that K.D. Lang is a legend of sorts, but I had never heard of her until she popped up on a youtube screen. The above video of Leonard Cohen's Halleluja performed by K.D. Lang moved me to tears. That doesn't happen to me very often. Watch the minutes of standing ovation that she receives at the end. Who does that happen to anymore these days?

I'd heard the song countless times covered by a variety of artists, but I didn't feel the song until she sang it. She made me want to sing again, which is something I didn't think I'd ever say again.


When I was 16 I covered "Once upon a time" from the musical Brooklyn. No matter where I am in life, these lyrics hit my hard in the heart. It wakes me up. The three minutes on that stage were the only three minutes in my life where I felt truly alive. K.D. made me want to feel that way again. To view the 3 minutes where I felt alive, click here
