I don't know if anyone else has come across this but Dana Glover, Leonard Cohen and Patrick Leonard have a "Shrek connection" from the original one.
Maybe that's how they all came together again on Old Ideas from initally both of these songs being involved in this movie.
Dana Glover -
It Is You (I have loved) – from Shrek

Rufus Wainwright -
Hallelujah - from Shrek

Patrick Leonard is the producer of Hallelujah on Shrek.

Re: The Shrek connection
Dana Glover is great on the album. Her voice along Leonard's is brand new accomplishment and I hope she will continue to work with Leonard.

So do I Tom,
Listening to her voice brought a different dimension to the songs. I wanted to know more about her and in doing so I discovered the above relationship.

Re: The Shrek connection to Old Ideas
And yet the voice that I find is a standout for me in this album is Sharon's.

Re: The Shrek connection to Old Ideas
Of course. I miss Sharon's production but I was so glad to hear that she's all over the record 'round Leonard's voice... That's the way it should be.
