Here's Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' To Listen To 100 Times Today

And then maybe another 100 more times this weekend.

Canadian music legend Leonard Cohen passed away on Thursday at the age of 82, and as a result, so many of us are going back to his 1984 hit, "Hallelujah."

The song, which was written and originally released by Cohen on the album "Various Positions," has been covered by artists like Jeff Buckley, k.d. lang, John Cale and more, Billboard reports.

According to USA Today, Cohen's original song went kind of unnoticed (the album was even rejected from his record company), but after he changed a few verses and made it longer, other artists started to take notice.

Seriously, it will give you chills.
