It's amazing that a song can have so much power...

That's a great performamce by all sincere standards.

Chester Bennington did the song big justice but it is hard to top the original, as is often the case.

Goosebump inducing.

I do prefer the Leonard Cohen take, but the OP's is OK. I think much of the song is in understanding the lyrics, as is the case with all Cohen's songs. He was a poet, after all.

Jeff Buckley did it quite well, and I think that's pretty well recognised. I have heard (sadly) some truly awful renditions from people who think they are good, but just kill the song.

The song was performed at this years Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Prepare for your neck hairs to be raised. Mine have not come down yet.

The Jeff Buckley is the one I am most familiar with....
