For four decades, Leonard Cohen has been one of the most important and influential songwriters of our time, a figure whose body of work achieves greater depths of mystery and meaning as time goes on. His songs have set a virtually unmatched standard in their seriousness and range. Sex, spirituality, religion, power – he has relentlessly examined the largest issues in human lives, always with a full appreciation of how elusive answers can be to the vexing questions he raises.

Hallelujah in its original studio version, is a 4 minute 39 second song in C major.The released live version, with its different lyrical content, clocks in at 6:54. On the song’s melody, Rufus Wainwright has commented that "It’s an easy song to sing. The music never pummels the words. The melody is almost liturgical and conjures up religious feelings. It’s purifying." In the section of the lyrics "the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift", the chords move as described in the lyrics as follows: F ("the fourth", in the tonality of C major), G ("the fifth"), Am ("the minor fall"), F ("the major lift").

This collection available in DVD and 2 CD formats was recorded live on July 17, 2008 at London’s 02 Arena, one of Europe’s largest indoor venues, and fully captures and recreates the extraordinary show that earned Cohen more than 80 five-star reviews for performances during his fall 2008 UK tour. Live In London offers definitive performances of classic songs drawn from the artist’s 40-year repertory.
