***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.
I come back to this video also. It's the most beautiful version I've ever heard....
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!!!
Why is this girl not super famous
She is the best rendition of this song ever.
now that lady can sing.
omg found this by accident, she has such a beautiful voice.....
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
Here I am again 3yrs later. I still love this song in your voice ❤
Me too. Listening with wet eyes.
@@jeff0247598 me three
Young lady... YOU NAILED THIS!!!!
no airs or graces just what you call pure honesty, the girl has class
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
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
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.
So beautiful, brought tears to my eyes.
kate la
kate lane me too
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
Cohen's smiling up there!
Thank you. I bet Leonard Cohen just might have loved your beautiful cover. R.I.P. Leonard Cohen.
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.💯
She sings the best version of Hallelujah, period.
Shout out to the guitarist, his accompaniment is perfect.
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!
This is, by FAR, my FAVORITE version of this song.... EVER..!!!!
And I have listened to COUNTLESS versions!!!
This young lady KILLS it.!!!!!
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....
Absolutely one of the most beautiful covers I've ever heard.
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 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
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.
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
Leonard is looking down and smiling at this performance. A great poet that will be missed. R.I.P Mr. Cohen
Killed it. In the best way possible. Amazing voice. Simply perfect. Encore!
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!
As a musician, I'll tell you, this is amazing in every way. Your voice is insane and the guitarist's touch is divine.
What a Beautiful voice, RIP Leonard Cohen.
The beauty of this song is in it's simplicity. I voice, 1 guitar and a stair well. Just doesn't get any better.
This comes from the soul in my opinion. Shes singing like no other girl I've heard and I appreciate a beautiful voice!
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.
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.
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
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?
Here we are again listening to this song Dec 2019
And loving it.
Dan French : Amen!
Just beautiful 💝
It never gets old.
@@danfrench3861 awesome
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
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
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
Brilliant, voice of an angel truly talented the both of you
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 :-)
Holy shit this girl moved me in my soul. ooof I hope she has more
Beautiful voice, especially when she gets in her higher range. Great control.
Her voice is like an angel.
Yes I do agree angel what a beautiful voice
No frills, just absolute beauty and talent.
Agreed
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.
It’s too bad mainstream music is filled of people with mediocre singing abilities. It’s all about the performance. I would much rather close my eyes and listen to this than anything I’ve heard or seen in the last 5 years
last 5, more like 10 or 15. this is awesome, a guitar and a voice!
The purest and most real version of this song…. I come back often just to hear it
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?
Exceptional. Very moving. Very memorable. How lovely.
THANK YOU TO SINGER AND GUITARIST.
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 💕✌🇺🇸
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.
god bless you baby,may you lean on him all through your life and experience his peace real peace,not the peace that the world give,
Hazrat Alli This song is all but biblically correct.
mistermiah21 be dumb for a season. It may give you enlightenment. It is harder to listen than it is to speak. Try the hard once in a while.
That's just cold dude. Why insult someone who's just sharing some love? I'd rather the world was filled people with his attitude, than people with yours.
so beautiful very moving much better voice then all these hand picked singers who sign away thier souls. glory be to god
The song was so beautifully done it made me cry God bless both of you you are a blessing from God
Believe my friend there is a God and he is a loving God we don't always know why things don't always go our way or when bad things happen look to the Bible God's word and you my friend will find your answers God bless you
Steven Lenarduzzi open your heart.... and you will know
Amen

@@TheSeanocasey Thanks
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!
Acoustics are perfect. We used to practice in a parking garage for that sound. They found it in a stairway. What a beautiful performance.
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.
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.
Just wonderful. Great version - she sings like an angel and his understated mastery on the guitar makes it special
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'?
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.
One. Of the best versions I’ve ever. Heard!
thatwasthe song they played the night my stepdad died she sent chills it so strong
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 really is one of the diamonds that pop up on RUclips. Bloody brilliant!
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!
🎉😢
Wow. I’d love to hear how she sounds today. It seems like she was holding back a bit, but when she doesn’t... just wow.
I definitely agree with you :-)
Who is she? I’d love to see her live.
@@PatrioticDemocrat If you ever find out her name...please let me know :-))
@@williammcnabb1354 Lindsey Skeye. Type her name in you tube search you'll find a few more of her.
@@pauldonnelly8659 Thank you :-))
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
Why does the guy get no love? His guitar playing is fantastic too!
+MrVidsAllDay You allways get somebody too complain, see if they can do it better.
+Ian Wilson "see if they can do it better" is not a valid argument; this cover is average at best; the guitar intro is butchering the song
I tend to agree with you. However, I find the "butchering" of the intro, and a few other erratic things about the guitar playing to be the most interesting things about this cover.
+MrVidsAllDay He's getting plenty, It's all coming from within . When you play music you learn to see it and understand the feeding of the soul through the music. He feels it.
without the guitar player she would have to use other instrumental music and his guitar playing skills go good with her voice
This is by far the best rendition of hallelujah I've ever heard... she's got the voice of an angel ❤
The voice of an angel 🙏👰
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....
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 been all over youtube comparing renditions of this lovely piece , at least 20..world acclaimed choirs etc.... Found the best so far right here!!! Bam.
They are great. Check out this rendition.

Still watching November 2019. I know this is one of the most beautiful versions of this song, I've ever heard. Sung with so much passion and an angelic voice. I also know there are at least 1.3k people who have absolutely no taste for fine music.
@Marie Ferguson Yes, I agree. How can anyone dislike it? The mind boggles.
Sings like an angel! Also nice soft guitar.
The vocal and the guitar were well done and inspiring.
I couldn't have said it better myself, her voice brought a damned tear to my eye.
Only one?
My god I’m gonna say it again your voice and range is amazing godsent like a angel omg never stop singing
Absolute proof that less can indeed be more.
Simply stunning.
Thank you.
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
These two are super smart and talented....anyone notice that they used an empty concrete stairwell to get that perfect acoustic echo? Clean guitar...clean voice. Great job you two.
Nearly all who cover this song sound like they don't know the meaning of the lyrics . She knows, and she knows how sing the notes and to show the meaning and the feeling of them. She does it beautifully.
Well maybe you could edify all of us ingeraymooses out here and tell us what the lyrics mean?.
I agree!
@@emilyt5240 haters gonna hate
@@genablack1652 i was agreeing that the song was sung beautifully..

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
Wow. Beautifully sung. Love the simplicity of it - A guy with a guitar and girl with her voice. Simply stunning. Thanks for posting
the best version i ever heard
I just can’t stop listning to them❤️
This girl has a fantastic voice, I hope she goes far, just fantastic - this has to be one of the best versions around.
She has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard...gave me goosebumps I swear.
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!!
It moved me , they are absolutely fantastic, she's adorable so talented, I could listen to her all night, thankyou for this
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.
Straight to my soul.!!! I needed that cry!! Thank you for sharing your gift.
Johnnie
I wont lie, teared me up. One of my favorite songs and you nailed it!
Nothing like witnessing musicians heartfelt notes. Beautiful
