***Halleluja Lyrics***
I heard there was a secret chord
that david played and it pleased the lord
but you don't really care for music, do you
well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
the minor fall and the major lift
the baffled king composing hallelujah
hallelujah...
well your faith was strong but you needed proof
you saw her bathing on the roof
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied you to her kitchen chair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah
hallelujah...
baby i've been here before
i've seen this room and i've walked this floor
i used to live alone before i knew you
i've seen your flag on the marble arch
but love is not a victory march
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
hallelujah...
well there was a time when you let me know
what's really going on below
but now you never show that to me do you
but remember when i moved in you
and the holy dove was moving too
and every breath we drew was hallelujah
well, maybe there's a god above
but all i've ever learned from love
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
it's not a cry that you hear at night
it's not somebody who's seen the light
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
hallelujah...

This is the best version ever. I just keep coming back. She has a voice like no other.
Totally agree.
I agree she should be a famous singer with her voice
I downloaded this version a long time ago so i dont need youtube, it should have like 3,000 more views from me..
Wonderful
Could not agree more. All these polished and produced versions don't come
close to this. These two captured the essence of the lyrics sitting in a dirty
stairway. I'll bet Cohen would agree.
Why is this girl not super famous
She is the best rendition of this song ever.
It takes a special sort of dedicated masochism to be a singer in a band
@@garybrady9245 Have you not heard K.D. Langs version? It's been heralded worldwide.
@@wallytimmins356it was good. But not as good as hers.
Takes more than talent to become famous.
How did this kind of beauty come about without a million dollar sound studio, a hundred piece orchestra or a backup chorus? How did it happen in a stairwell, with a guy on an electric guitar, a microphone and a young woman? It happened because of raw talent! I find this performance just as beautiful today as I did when I first heard it four years ago! It was a treat to hear it again!!!
I heard this for the first time almost 8 years ago, and it is still by far my favorite version.. brings tears to my eyes every time... absolutely beautiful
I come back to this video also. It's the most beautiful version I've ever heard....
Young lady... YOU NAILED THIS!!!!
Of all the versions of this song, this is the one that matters. He wrote a beautiful song in search of a voice. This is that voice.
it's valentine day, I'm alone with a beer and too much stuff to study. I'm so stressed and sad but I took time to close my eyes and rest my head on my arms while listening to this. thanks
Here I am again 3yrs later. I still love this song in your voice ❤
Me too. Listening with wet eyes.
@@jeff0247598 me three
Me 4..saved it
Back again to say I cannot stop listening to this piece of musical perfection, A grade vocals, A grade instrumentals, no fancy gimmicks just plain good music from good and wonderful people. keep it up guys.
My sister that became my mum just had surgery for brain cancer. Yes it is beautiful
She’s nailed it! Musically and lyrically. His guitar is so sweet and subtle.
Hairs on my arms standing on end
True
She should be a superstar!
Who is she, and where do they come from
Absolutely one of the most beautiful covers I've ever heard.
On my 44th week of Interferon Injections and Ribivirin for Hep C Treatment ...
4 weeks to go and no virus detected the past 8 Months....
Moved to tears in my suffering ...Thank you for this....Strength comes to us in many different ways....God works in us His way !
Im a "todays kid" and i am so sick of all the singers who dont sing with their soul and dont sing songs with meaning... I loved this song ever since I was little and it still today brings me to tears. You did an amazing cover and you have a beautiful voice. Again, this was amazing.💯
Perfect example of how less is more. What a gorgeous rendition of this song.
I couldn't have said it better.
Try little Janet Devlin's cover
Donald Kruger well if you check out Devlin's cover of this then check out Pentatonic's cover. their good at playing instruments and by instrument I mean vocal ones.
Who is this wonderful singer?
leaves me speechless...
The natural reverb in that stairwell adds something amazing to that performance.
This is, by FAR, my FAVORITE version of this song.... EVER..!!!!
And I have listened to COUNTLESS versions!!!
This young lady KILLS it.!!!!!
I've played this song behind a number of artist in studio and stage. This young lady tops them all. The guitarist does an exceptional job of supporting her voice and not overwhelming it. A true sign of a real pro
+Walter Johnson - Most importantly, their hearts are in it. That is what really matters in a song like this.
The guitarist chap plays well but it dominates the vocals.
Totally agree. Who are they..?!
It wasn't mixed ... as a Raw take minus a sound stage he did it right, when you are sitting behind the speakers it is tough to tell
Walter Johnson my favorite is Tyler joesophs version
MYYYYY CHHHHAAAALLUUUUUPPPPPPAAAAAA
Thank you. I bet Leonard Cohen just might have loved your beautiful cover. R.I.P. Leonard Cohen.
Still one of my most watched videos after all these years. The guitar, the voice, just.. everything. One of my favorite songs covered in my favorite version. Just perfect 🖤
Mine too!
My first time hearing her voice. I love it!
Mine too!
For a Fact!... I want their autographs... Their totally worthy of the asking....
omg found this by accident, she has such a beautiful voice.....
I have heard so many renditions of this song. This version is my favorite of all. The passion and pain in this young lady's voice. Stunning, just absolutely stunning. Bravo Skeye!
@@conniewolf7300
Connie, songs that touch our souls should be shared. If versions are created, and they too, feed our hunger, then bring it on! More uplifting tributes for our Lord.
@@conniewolf7300 yes he wrote it but his version is nowhere near as good as others have sung it. It is the other way around for Whitney Houston`s "I will always love you" Written by Dolly Parton and Dolly`s version is so much better because of the feeling that she put into it.
@@dawncanbegrumpyinthemornin1408 oh don`t bring religion into it, this was not meant to be a religious song, in fact there are many different explanations as to what Cohen meant. The bible is mentioned but it is not a song about praising a god, it just uses the word that in Hebrew means praise god but even that word is being used a s a personal ending, good or bad. It most certainly is not an uplifting tribute to a lord of any kind.
IT is not rushed, it is not a large over sized arrangement,,it is not anyone mega famous. What it is...it is superb. It isn't about a sexy wardrobe, or the perfect stage, but rather what defines this. They keep it simple and take advantage or a very low budget location that works and works well. She has total control and so does he. BRAVO
+Russell Dickerson . . . exactly . . . exactly . . . exactly right!
couldnt have said it better
Well said. She has a beautifully powerful voice.
perfect!
Well said man x
I can't believe this only has 5.4m views.
She sings the best version of Hallelujah, period.
I can sing this until the verse.. "it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.." I get choked up and can't continue. beautiful voice this girl has
Ruhil Ariana Wilson him
Ruhil Ariana Wilson
tha same here lol ...
Aurora Trent do you know her name?
Aurora Trent I also recommend Rufus Wainwright singing with a flash choir of 1,500.
I will be honest, I thought I couldn't stand to hear another version of this song anymore, but you two gave a beautiful ans gentle version of this song. Thank you
Greatest song ever written, a truly spiritual experience!
Agreed
@@robbiefrentz9427 Great version, greatest song written.......Comfortably Numb
I never tire of this song or it's many and varied covers.
Hands down, one of the most amazing songs I’ve heard! The voice of an angel paired with the most perfect subtle guitar. I can listen to this over and over!
Killed it. In the best way possible. Amazing voice. Simply perfect. Encore!
Leonard is looking down and smiling at this performance. A great poet that will be missed. R.I.P Mr. Cohen
When I saw the guitar, I was waiting for another typical "I distort it because I can't really play" cover. I was pleasantly surprised. Good show.
They start off slowly, almost meekly, but this quickly becomes powerful and by the end is absolutely stunning. Truly beautiful, a humble, unassuming gift.
I don't know I mean thanks but I don't know I mean what the hell
The man playing the guitar was really good. He was careful not to over power her. Well done by both.
I would still turn him down at least Half. Accompaniment should support the soloist. Maybe hardly notice, except would be so dull without it. It is so easy to turn up an amplifier compared to learning music. Notice guitar is the same wheater with Her or he is solo. Learn to soften with her and it up for his solos.
They hit the mark on such a beautiful well written song. Anyone that gave it a thumbs down have no repected for good music!
he did overpower her wat the fuck u know
the ghost notes are sometimes more important than the others
I don't think her voice could be overpowered! It seems to go up forever!
As a musician, I'll tell you, this is amazing in every way. Your voice is insane and the guitarist's touch is divine.
This is the purest version of this song I have ever heard,she sings it so effortlessly and has such an ethereal quality to her voice. She's amazing and the guitarist is really good too,what a beautiful pair they are together. Wow,going to listen again and again and again.
I always like Hallelujah sung by Ian Gillan and played by Deep Purple
I had to stop reading the comments, so many, well deserved, best version for sure, thanx for the post :-)
That was beautiful. She better keep singing. You don't throw away a voice like that. Hope to hear more.
Thanks folks.
Agree, her singing is wonderful.
Beautiful voice
Marty Mcmannis they have their own youtube channel with a bunch more songs on it. She has written some of her own as well. But i agree. I discovered this video probably close to 10 years ago and to this date its my favorite version of the song and i have to come back every so often when i need somethings to lift me up. There is one part when she hits a note and you can feel the pain in her voice and it just gives me chills do this day
punanie05 don’t leave me hanging,what is her RUclips channel?
@@punanie05what's the channel?
no airs or graces just what you call pure honesty, the girl has class
So much has already been said about this young woman's beautiful, clear, and awesome voice (and all righteously deserved) that I feel some other aspects should also be given their due. 1) The sparseness of the accompaniment is brilliant. Yes, the playing is wonderful but the choice of this arrangement is fantastic as it compliments the loneliness and angst of the song. 2) The passion and heart that goes beyond the mere beautiful gift of her voice reaches into my heart and shakes my soul. 3) What a great location! The acoustics of that stairwell worked perfectly.
Yes!
Man u hit the nail right on the head
Beautifully said !
Of all the critics I've heard that was the finest statement ever.
I could not agree more!!! On all points. You literally took the words out of my mouth... How did you do that by the way?
This is (so far) my favorite rendition on this song. I absolutely adore its simplicity because it does justice to the song. This song wasn't meant to go crazy jazz improv, it's simple and beautiful, and these musicians do a phenomenal job covering it. Well done
This comes from the soul in my opinion. Shes singing like no other girl I've heard and I appreciate a beautiful voice!
Exceptional. Very moving. Very memorable. How lovely.
THANK YOU TO SINGER AND GUITARIST.
now that lady can sing.
The beauty of this song is in it's simplicity. I voice, 1 guitar and a stair well. Just doesn't get any better.
I always stop and listen to this when it appears on my feed ❤
They have so much respect for each other....that is so obvious...that is what music is all about...that is what life is all about.
So beautiful, brought tears to my eyes.
kate la
kate lane me too
Dear Mr Leonard would be smiling, and thinking himself unworthy for somebody wanting to sing one of his songs. You all did a great job.
Why would someone wanting to sing HIS song make him feel 'unworthy'?
I said year’s ago that this lil lady needs a record deal
Chills. There are such gems to be found here on RUclips sometimes.
Sometimes?! I'm always finding 'gems'. And this is one of them.
THAT WAS COHEN”S THOUGHT. THERE ARE GEMS OUT THERE EVEN WHEN YOUR RELATIONSHIP MAY NOT WORK SOMETIMES LOVE PREVAILS.
Hollow Roads I fully agree with you 100 % she is really talented. RUclips has lots of gems sometimes.
This really is one of the diamonds that pop up on RUclips. Bloody brilliant!
That was one of the best performances of this song! This is probably the prettiest song ever written and she sung it beautifully
still 3 months from my last post, I still get goose bumps when she sings this song.....so amazing.
chad thomason I cant say how much I love this version of this song....this is what music is....when I die, I want this very rendition of this song playing when they walk me out
I’ve never heard anything better from a stairwell.
What a Beautiful voice, RIP Leonard Cohen.
Well my father just died and I'm kind of lost... Your beautiful song really helps me. Thank you. Truly.
I'm truly sorry to hear that Heather Feather. My thoughts are with you.
Big hugs
Chin up babes.
Sorry for the loss of your father I lost my father too this song gives me strength x
Heather Feather arguably one of the best songs ever written. It’s for people like us. Take care.
One of the Best I've heard of this version...Beautiful voice, Awesome control !!!!...Young man playing guitar, Awesome job !!!!, Wish you both the Best, very deserving !
Fantastic rendition from both, innocent and clean. Xx
t his is a great version listen to K.D.Lang version I thing you will like it
All I can say is wow. what I feel is caught in between.
She has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard...gave me goosebumps I swear.
Absolutely gorgeous. I had chills.
And this is where I manfully say something like "I'm not crying! You're crying!", lol. Truthfully, when she hit that first powerful bit where it echoed down the stairwell they're in, it brought tears to my eyes. I can say this is the first cover of Mr. Cohens work outside of Jeff Buckley's that I think did the song justice. Absolutely amazing. I hope they go far and don't lose sight of what gave them what is clearly a love of music.
No frills, just absolute beauty and talent.
Agreed
Thanksgiving day
2019. Just me the dog and the cat.
Retired, living in Mexico. It's cold and rainy today. Just watching TV and RUclips. And just saw this for the first time. I'm glad I came across it. It's beautiful. Thank you 💕✌🇺🇸
Since RUclips changed the way comments, replies, and thumbs ups/downs, I can't reply or thumbs up on comments about how good and creative it was for them to record in a cold and hard stairwell. That was genius and even goes with the lyrics! She has a beautiful voice and the guitarist is great too!
Yes. Very awesome cover of Cohen's song...
Wow. Beautifully sung. Love the simplicity of it - A guy with a guitar and girl with her voice. Simply stunning. Thanks for posting
Beautiful and sublime..."and the words of the profits are written on the subway walls...and tenement halls...and echo in the sounds of silence
wayne moores sound of silence
no disrespect...but those are "prophets". Profits are money :)
sounded beautiful
Hi Colleen...funny I'm usually such a stickler about grammar, syntax and spelling, however in this day and age the spelling might just be correct. Cheers and Merry Christmas.
...Simon & Garfunkel - Nice sentiment...Thanks & praise yours....
The purest and most real version of this song…. I come back often just to hear it
At first I wasn't impressed. Then she hit that hallelujah and it brought tears to my eyes.
Just saw this almost 6 years after they posted this---amazing! Totally got into the background, the most excellent guitar work, and that voice---that voice with the tremeloes, the force, and the shades of feeling. I'm not a vocal expert but I like what moves me. . . and I am an ancient old man who witnessed another angel (among many). There is going to be one mighty chorus sending me off. In my dreams, perchance, but a mighty chorus indeed!
Notice how she pulls back from the mic when singing the loud chorus and then moves closer on the quiet verse. You get an intimate feel on the verse, yet the chorus doesn't overload the mic and recording system. Plus the eye contact between the two of them so they're both synchronised with each other. This video is a mini-masterclass on how to record a song.
KlazyY I absolutely agree. I am an old woman and these two would have made Leonard Cohen proud. I hope they are okay and still creating music and feeling and joy
KlazyY. Yes, a mighty chorus, indeed. And some of us will hear.
how does half of the garbage get on the radio/internet, and true talent like these two, who can bend music and song into ART, NOT be on top of the charts? These two are gold and great chemistry. i'm blown away.
Sometimes the world is on it's big fat head.
I too have wondered why the best music is so obscure. I suppose it is yet another indication of the deterioration of our society.
Because some sell their souls to the devil for fame and fortune while others refuse. This was just beautiful to hear. I enjoyed watching them appreciate each other's talent.
***** this is why I sift through youtube and other sights. I hardly listen to the radio anymore. The true talent is out there you just gotta look for it. Same with books you sift through 10 carbon copies of hunger games, or divergent, to find an original and well made book.
***** so youre saying music normally is not art, and leonard cohen didnt do art?
Absolutely AMAZING ! A dislike on this is an admission of having no musical taste. Thank you for this.
Great comment, if you dislike this--there is something wrong!
Different people like different things. Stop gatekeeping music, asshole. It's okay to not like this.
Plus you don’t have to hit the dislike button if this isn’t your cup of tea. Just move on to something else there’s no need to be mean. If nothing else simply have respect for the talent it takes to perform a song like this and furthermore to put yourself in front of the entire world takes courage.
Who in their right mind could put a thumbs down to that that's the most beautiful version of that song I've ever heard and I know I've listened to probably a thousand people sing it jealous
Im not a religious man nor do I much care for religious music but the harmony of her vocals with the soft guitar is sheer beauty on the ear drums
Acoustics are perfect. We used to practice in a parking garage for that sound. They found it in a stairway. What a beautiful performance.
Shout out to the guitarist, his accompaniment is perfect.
Gifts, they are not ours, they are meant to be given, only when we give them do we experience the fullest potential of them for ourselves, and what a beautiful gift you share. Thank you.
Even 10 years later, still my favorite. The simplicity, her voice, and the acoustics of the stairwell are fantastic.
WOW....totally disregard the drive by's and any negativity! You guys are absolutely amazing, hope you go far in life and what you enjoy most!
The amazing acoustics of a large, cold, hard, empty stairwell served this girl well. You can't miss a note in a place like that because the sound is so full in that space. A missed note screams back in your ears like an icy wind. Whoever you are - good job. This was a joy to hear.
Sings like an angel! Also nice soft guitar.
Absolute proof that less can indeed be more.
Simply stunning.
Thank you.
Beautifully done. The chemistry between them is palpable. They really look like they know each other down to the soul.
what is great about this version of this song is that the singer is not trying to tell us how great she is but how great the song is the singer and the song kind of meld together
Wow. What a beautiful voice. Cohen would have approved.
Chrissy P
WOULD HAVE APPROVED ????
SINCE WHEN DID HIS EYES & EARS FALL OFF !!!
steve mann today actually. :(
steve mann He's dead.
Nope. Leonard himself said he wished people would stop singing it.. That girl has my approval though
Well, if I may, I think what Cohen objected to is the sappy versions with the choirs, the upbeat versions, the crap you hear on all the talent shows - did these people ever listen to the lyrics? It's a cold, broken halleluiah, and that's the way this girl sings it. I think he would approve
Still listen regularly. Makes me emotional. Nov.2024
Same here. Then I listen to KD Lang
And then Leonard Cohen. I love them all
The prophet now has left the Earth,
For us a death - for him a birth -
A sadness and a beauty moving through ya.
Among the angels now he’ll sing,
His song of praise before the King,
A heavenly and holy Hallelujah.
Finn McCool thank you for such a powerful epilogue ... *-)
Beautiful, well said, thank you!
Finn your first post was cute.But this one was beautiful. Thank you
xoxoxoxoxo
xoxoxoxoxo
Why am I just now hearing this amazingness!!😦
This is 15 yrs back, I hope she's retained a successful musical career! Majorly strong Hold back of her mighty VOICE! Thank you both guitarist and this lovely Voice! Amen!
This is by far the best rendition of hallelujah I've ever heard... she's got the voice of an angel ❤
Holy shit this girl moved me in my soul. ooof I hope she has more
Are they brother and Sister what a beautiful rendition of the lovely Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah wow she gave it her all lovely well done to both of you .The guitar playing did not overwhelm the Singing it enhanced it that's how it should be again well done good job .
Stunning version. That young girls voice is incredible and the guitarist is amazing can't stop playing it
I don't think we were listening to the same girl
This has to be the finest cover version of the world's most covered song. Just who are the 1.4K people who gave it a thumbs down rating?
Dipshits
Is their world so dark that they miss the light and hear no beauty.?..sad....
Really I thought the same thing
Denis MacEoin maybe it’s some kind of religious objection? For me, this song and it’s author makes me proud to be Canadian.
Denis MacEoin haters, losers, and insecure douchebags, that’s who!
One guitar and a soaring glorious voice. Hallelujah.
U were born to sing!
The touch on the guitar is perfect..just the right tone !
I'll have a good night.
What a truly stunning cover of a classic song. Thank you for sharing it
i hope your lives have been good in almost a decade since, by this simple gesture, you brought something of goodness for us to share.
Such beautiful clarity on the higher notes. Beautiful, beautiful.
The best version I have ever heard. Buckley included. Respect. 😳😳😳😳
Dennis Schmieder
No one beats Buckley
Dennis Schmieder you have to check for Pentatonix cover 😉
David Zagyva no way the Cohen original is better. This one too. Way more emotional impact from her than Buckley.
That's Buckley's version. Lol
Incredibly beautiful! How could anyone give this a thumbs down?
Every time I hear someone else sing this song I search for the girl on the staircase because she touches my soul. The guitar playing is beautiful. Together they’re perfect. Thank you.
Look up skeye, that is the name of this band. They have lots of great songs.
@@brandonwells1010
Hi Brandon , thank you I wound up looking for them and really like everything about them. Their version on Hallelujah is still my favourite. Thanks again.
I’ve listened to many many singers ding this priceless, timeless masterpiece and this is the prize, the gem, the best I have ever heard… Thank you beautiful girl!
🎉😢
This is the best version of this song I have ever heard. And all from a stairwell. Beautiful.
+Mike Mcintyre no hightec, no orchestra, less is more!
+Mike Mcintyre as good as this version is you should listen to K D Lang do it. Best ever!!
+Debbie Little KD's version sends shivers..
+Debbie Little I have . And this is better. In my opinion KD sounded awesome . But she didn't get it. This girl gets it.
+Radar Plot Extractor But she she didn't have the right feel for it. Sang it great but sang it wrong . This girl sang it the way it was meant to be sung . So did Leonard.
I’ve heard this son a hundred different ways , so I tapped on it and said why not one more time and I’m so happy I did absolutely
Beautiful!!
Mr. Leonard Cohen....Truly the Einstein of composers.
I have NEVER heard this song performed poorly. Every musician, whatever their voice and whatever their instrument, is made better by this song.
I am better for hearing it. Every time.
What an Excellent way to put it. Thanx 4 your value as a Human being on your life's journey...
