Rate the Song: Hallelujah Here She Comes

[digitize]

I have decided to expand the list of TUF-TJT-R&H non-album songs to poll Interference on, so this will be the second of now three voting rounds on those songs. The full list is (and feel free to suggest adding some):

Disappearing Act
Love Comes Tumbling
The Three Sunrises
Bass Trap
Sixty Seconds In Kingdom Come
Boomerang I
Boomerang II
Luminous Times (Hold on to Love)
Walk to the Water
Spanish Eyes
Silver and Gold
Drunk Chicken/America
Sweetest Thing (original version)
Wave of Sorrow (Birdland)
Hallelujah Here She Comes
A Room at the Heartbreak Hotel
She's a Mystery To Me
Deep in the Heart
Beautiful Ghost/Introduction to Songs of Experience
Desert of Our Love
Rise Up
Yoshino Blossom

We will address Spanish Eyes through A Room at the Heartbreak Hotel today.

Please rate Hallelujah Here She Comes on a scale from 0 to 10, using whatever criteria you feel allows you to best evaluate the song as a whole. I will not set criteria for people to based on, but if you feel like your best evaluation of the merits of a song comes from voting only based on, say, the studio version, go right ahead and vote that way. Full information on the Rate The Song series may be found in this thread.

Have fun! This poll will close in 96 hours.

I love this song for the same reason I love Trip Through Your Wires. Joyful melody, lively performance, and I wish it would have made R&H. 9.

If U2 wrote a song for Roy Orbison or maybe The Righteous Brothers, it might sound something like this.

There's something special about this brief version of U2 that we saw.

High 8.

HA! I forgot about that!!! Take away my fan card.

And you know, I think it has the same kind of spirit as Hallelujah.

I see you're dressed to kill
I know I can't wait until
Hallelujah here she comes
I see you're dressed in black
I guess I'm not coming back

I don't why but those lyrics are really cool.

I had never heard this track before. But it's full of joy, brought a smile to my face. Gets a 7 from me.

 

[gvox]

Wait..isn't this a cover??

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Wait..isn't this a cover??

nope

you might be thinking of their cover of the song hallelujah, though.

6. Compared to other b-sides from that era it's a bit dull, but not a bad effort still.

 

[gvox]

nope

you might be thinking of their cover of the song hallelujah, though.

I figured it out..it was Everlasting Love, that's the one I was thinking of.

This one, especially the end, especially the latter part of it, reminds me of The Housemartins. And in a good way

I love this happy little song. It's got such joy and I'm amazed it was a b-side.

Dear God...

10 best b side they've done. Take off Love Rescue Me and replace with this. I just fixed Rattle And Hum.

 

[Aardvark747]

Not bad, it's quite good and cheers me up. 7.

 

[nielsgov]

I don't think I've ever listened to this song before now. I don't think I missed much. 3

worst b-sides of this era
