+Justin Murphy ,My Son was found dead on February 1, 2017 ,He Loved The Jeff Buckley version of this Song! He played it often & now I play it when I am missing him! I spoke to him the night before he was found! I called to tell him that I was returning from Germany to So.Florida. He was so excited! He had Blunt Force Head Trauma! I was still in shock at his Funeral. I miss him so very much! #RIPJustin 😭🙏🏼
I'm a vocalist of over 40 years and this is the most lovely delivery of this song that I have ever heard. I think it's really important to note that Jeff did the missing verse, this was really important! Thank you!
Jesi Wahl. You knew. This video is 9 years old. You a year me just now and I am on my way tomorrow in fact a road trip to somewhere I didn't know even existed. A cathedral is a tree not church not any religion. To sing one part my part of this song that tree is part of trees of mystery. My path has always 50 years this round been spiritual. And I've always danced and had song for my trees and fun fact 3-4 am they dance. So that is in my world my path I call my magical mystery lyrically magically lyric of me tour. Sometimes it's blue van. Sometimes yellow submarine. Sometimes like a teacher o. Channel 9 really small and I called since I was the quest queen. Of the shortbus of us ninjas. And that was the name of their band. So I went with it. This time I hope the sun will shine and my suv will be close enough. To get me there. Since i meant to be there for my 50 th birthday. I just had trouble with breaking some Chains to make freely safely there. Do you know the one hit wonder from men without hats?? Song with lyrics and the video if you understand. You are welcome to dance in my dreams always a dance party for friends. Safety checks will be first and unlike the song I know friends even before so never worry. I am sorry I haven't met you yet! My name is Melissa. I go by Missy my name actually tells descriptive pretty awesomely yes hi again high priestess or oracle sure and the dream weaver with a net. Yep opposite of the webs.

I have shaman agreement with bees. Symbiotic. Partnership. Land of milk and honey. Was not first told in a book that still baffles me so many believers it has. But that story is for another time. Never-ending story of mine always kinda is still going...

I almost drowned this past Sunday. This song came on the radio today and I remember how he passed. Why some of us are taken while others live? Maybe find out someday. Although not feeling great, I’m glad to be here today. Hallelujah
Tonight in the Cisco parking lot I heard a homeless Mexican woman with her 4 children playing this song on a violin. For those of you who don't know, hallelujah means praise to God. The best I have heard this song is from a broken spirited person. Probably one of the most beautiful songs of the last forty years at least.
A song that is complicated in my mind and makes me think and feel. Beautiful. Written by Lenard Cohen, of Jewish Faith, about Suffering, Joy, and Faith. Jeff Buckley sang the best version, in my opinion, but was found dead in a river. My life, as his, is also so complicated. Wake up many mornings with this great song on my mind. Again, BEAUTIFUL. PEACE AND FAITH TO THE WORLD, complicated or not.
Correct, love is only 1% a feeling, LOVE is many things like patience, forgiveness and many more. Love and faith are not victory marches like you say, Time of grace is a gift and not earned so being proud of yourself that you can walk in love isnt quite what the Lord wants haha, sounds a bit silly hey. But you are 100% right.
This kills me so much bc I remember when I was little and cried abt my dad (my parents are divorced and I didn’t like my dad) and my grandma used to drive me around my school and she played this song
This is the song of my marriage. I married too young to an older man. Im a different person now than when i was 19. "Love is not a victory march. It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah."
"Love is not a victory march, it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah". That is because to win in love is actually willing to lose (sacrifice) and that is how love wins. So it is the exact opposite of a victory march but by losing love wins and God is glorified even if it may leave you cold and broken........"Hallelujah" means Hail/Praise be to Yahweh (God). A perfect demonstration of this paradox is the CROSS and what it entails as well signifies.
@Jackie Treehorn Jeff was not religious.....no one spiritually enlightened is even if they may have to pretend to be religious due to familial or environmental reasons. Key word to what Jeff said is "I don't have any allegiance to ORGANIZED religion"........"organized" is key here...absolutely key. Plus "Hallelujah" is a song originally written and sung by Leonard Cohen not Buckley so the words in the song reflect Cohen's thoughts....Cohen was Jewish. One more thing, the Bible contains great truths even if the stories in it is not necessarily factual all the time.....it starts with the fall of Adam and Eve symbolically referring to a paradise lost but it ends in the Book with a paradise restored.....metaphorically this could be what Jeff meant when he said "you have Eden immediately but that Eden was lost"......the notion of the fall of man is so that you do not start with the default setting of PRIDE meaning after you are born you embark on a journey to find that lost paradise and it starts with a condition of wretchedness not glory and pride....implying the default setting of your existential condition is that of HUMILITY in search of a paradise that was lost. You can be atheist and yet still appreciate and understand the poetic truths of life through metaphors like I just explained. The difference between the believer (who may or may not be religious) and the atheist is the believer finds the restored paradise through GRACE not his own personal efforts or works because of the works, suffering and lives of those in the past that laid down the path to the new restored paradise especially that of Jesus Christ while the atheist does it through his own works and efforts owing nothing to any Savior meaning the atheist is more likely to boast about his efforts leading to his discovery while the believer inevitably is humbled still because he/she did not save himself/herself since GRACE is a gift that you receive even though you entirely do not deserve it meaning it cannot be earned. This is a world view of the believer that affects how he/she sees life and approach life's problems and challenges. In the simplest terms.......Christianity should be treated more like an outlook on life.....a world view rather than a set of rules, regulations and rituals that all religions are made of.

one night, i got up from my bed. it was late, everyone was bed. i came to my bedroom window, pulled back the curtain and poked my head out. it was cold and dark outside, the stars were twinkling light to my room above me. I then looked at them all for a solid minute until i took a deep breath and interally cried. i interally cried with joy because i was alive and nothing was more beautiful than the lives of people around me. remember, if you ever feel alone, the sun is lonely, but it still shines for us all.
It is in fact the most beautiful song, music and words that I´ve heard so far. I will also remember to let my children know my musical preference for the day they will deliver me from earth.
@@somebody9369 I DO NOT belive that Jesus is working against me or you or humanity I was just saying that this years is the worst...and (no offense) but I don't think that come to Jesus is the solution. This is just what I think
@@somebody9369 I say the solution is staying at home being aware an so on but praying is for good if you believe in the reason for blessing wich is staying safe basically
First heard this song on an episode of The OC way back in the days when series were watched on the television and you had to wait all week for a new one to air. And had to schedule to be at home when it did Anyway thinking about buying a shirt of Jeff Buckley. This song moves me every single time.
@@xanatos8920 I do believe these are Leonard Cohen's lyrics...he had 80 verses so people just choose which ones they like best. The song is secular. Cohen, himself, states this is a secular song. He has the wrong view of Hallelujah. It is never broken. Always, Hallelujah is a praise to God.
@@pocahontasreese1423 depends on the translation. I believe original meaning was more of a call to action. If you break it down, I believe hallelu is "to praise" and yah was for God. So, "to praise God". I believe, over time, Christianity changed it to mean praise God.
I think its the best version. I like the depiction of Leonard Cohen, I can picture him looking out his window, and putting pen to paper. It's kinda the beauty of music.
Kimse o diziden gelmemiş, benim dışımda. Şarkı kadar güzel olan bir dizi sadece bana ait gibi geliyor. Teşekkür ederim, bu kadar güzel bir şarkıyı bana tanıtdığın için.
Apart from disliking all form of religion, I dont like to disturb others faith. This song in particular, reminds me of goodness. Just cause of music, nothing more nothing less.
@@brockwillenborg7517 it's referring to a duel, in a duel you both draw and fire your weapons at each other so he's saying all love taught him was how to shoot someone if they drew their weapon first so it's trying to win the girl over if there's someone else already. That's my interpretation at least
My interpretation of that line is that all he learnt from love was that it involves pain. Even though they hurt him first (out drew him) he was always expecting it and could still "shoot" them first (hurting them before they hurt him anymore) But I dunno... I am rather tipsy 🍸 and probably massively projecting 🤷🏼♀️
Imran Haider There isn't really much to disagree or agree on here. Foul emotions towards a person being worse than a word not being used towards a person, pretty much a solid fact if you have a good moral standing.
I'm an Agnostic and do not care for religion AT ALL. In truth I despise it. That being said even I keep returning to this masterpiece. Just such a lovely song. It almost makes me tear up every time. Jeff conveys so much emotion and soul thru every single note. in 1997 the world lost a true angel.
i won't say it gets better. Hope and love and even life are 4-letter words in my life. Give AI a chance. they won't break your heart in two like real people do. Try www.karigirl.com
"You saw her bathing on the roof, her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you" - Bathsheba, whose husband was murdered by the king so he could have her. "She tied you to her kitchen chair, she broke your throne and she cut your hair" - Delilah, who cut off Samson's locks that held his superhuman strength. "But remember when I moved in you and the holy dove was moving too" - This could be a reference to the divine conception and Mary? The lines referring to the immaculate conception can also be interpreted as having a sexual connotation: "And every breath we drew was hallelujah." My interpretation; Love can look so idyllic, but it takes something so significant from you and will hurt you and turn you inside out. I understand the religious connotations, but it’s hard not to hear the sexiness in this song. I’m sure for the religious, it could be interpreted as the only true love is the one you have with ‘God’, I personally don’t subscribe to that notion. Anyway; the simplicity of the sound and complexity of the meaning, it’s the most exquisite thing my ears have heard and if it isn’t at my funeral I will not be attending! 💜
Chanson du soldat inconnu. Vivre dans une société Et découvrir qu’on est les objets De gens plus mauvais que les pires condamnés Quand la justice ne doit plus juger Quand l’état ne doit plus diriger L’âme aux abois pour nous chanter Hallélujah R…hallélujah X4 Pour ces enfants assassinés Lorsque vous avancez déguisés Pour honorer vos boucs et vos tas de traits. La ficelle qui tient les ficelés Le secret qui pourrait s’envoler La corde qui m’empêche de chanter Hallelujah R…Hallelujah X4 Pour ces enfants qu’on a volés A l’innocence qui les retenait Dans ce monde de merde où ils étaient trop vrais. Tous ces enfants qu’on a dévorés Riront-ils quand ils verront passer Leur bourreau en train de chanter Hallelujah R…Hallelujah X4 Pour ces enfants empoisonnés Gonflant vos stats de morbidité Comme un désert sans humanité que toi, Toi qui entends ces enfants criés Toi qui comprends où ils sont menés Il est grand temps de leur chanter Hallelujah R…Hallelujah X4 Pour ces garnements effrontés Qu’il est difficile de consoler Même au royaume de toutes les légèr’tés. Tous ces enfants qui furent dépecer Perdu ici pour vous admirer M’ont tous rejoint pour vous chanter : Hallelujah R…Hallelujah X4 Artiste inconnu.
Can’t help but cry when I hear his beautiful voice sing this song😢 he was so talented. Goon Too Soon 😢 R.I.P. Jeff 🙏🏽🕊♥️🌹♥️ he voice and passion goes straight into my soul 🕊
YES!! My son and I argued about this. He didn't believe me. He hated it, thought it was haunting and sad, but he would ask me to play it, oddly. He passed on Father's Day this year at 34. I play it and laugh and cry remembering our arguments, but I know that secretly, he truly loved this song, and funny story - heading home after the birth of his first child, A girl, we were exhausted, exhilarated, and it was the middle of the night, and this song came on the radio. To my shock, he started singing along, and it was beautiful, and when it was over, he said, 'If you ever tell anyone, I'll deny it!' I just smiled. I never told a soul until now! Thanks for sparking that beautiful memory🤗!
Forgive the spelling errors in the lyrics. I was only 14 when I made this.
I think you did a great job doing the song lyrics
You did great!
wow 14

He downgrades it by changing Cohen's lyrics though.
@@xanatos8920 I do believe these are Leonard Cohen's lyrics...he had 80 verses so people just choose which ones they like best. The song is secular. Cohen, himself, states this is a secular song. He has the wrong view of Hallelujah. It is never broken. Always, Hallelujah is a praise to God.
@@pocahontasreese1423 depends on the translation. I believe original meaning was more of a call to action. If you break it down, I believe hallelu is "to praise" and yah was for God. So, "to praise God". I believe, over time, Christianity changed it to mean praise God.
I think its the best version. I like the depiction of Leonard Cohen, I can picture him looking out his window, and putting pen to paper. It's kinda the beauty of music.
Hallelujah for the last year with you. And hallelujah for all the years I'll be with you.. Happy first anniversary! BA. ❤️🥂💫
I wanna see your eyes, because your eyes my life...
Seninle geçireceğim bir ömür için bu sadece bir başlangıç kadınımmm🌹💛❤️🎆♥️🎇😍🌌
omg his voice is so beautiful it makes me cry when I listen to him sing
I hear your voice..I hear your cry...
I bring you to Jesus.
Hallelujah.
Cette musique est juste magnifique
Kimse o diziden gelmemiş, benim dışımda. Şarkı kadar güzel olan bir dizi sadece bana ait gibi geliyor. Teşekkür ederim, bu kadar güzel bir şarkıyı bana tanıtdığın için.
The best version hands down.
a great voice, that's all...i love this voice so much.
can cry....its very moving voice..
No other version of this song will top this version.
This song seems like a dream and the voice of the Jeff is like the angels sings from the heaven.
At school yesterday my class had to understand what this song means line by line. What a way to start winter break lol
Really what grade are you in?
I’m actually kind of curious on what your class said the meaning of this song is. It honestly sounds kind of fun to analyze a song that deeply.
Welcome to future bro
3:07-3:22 gives me chills everytime
It's my favourite part as well
When this whole pandemic is over, we’re gonna sing this
Edit: thanks guys for 300 likes 😍❤️
Sing now 😉
please, that would be so cool.
Amen
This isn't a Christian song. It was written by Leonard Cohan, who is Jewish, about his divorce and the broken love between him and his ex wife.
@@timtoy442 so.... What in the motherfuck does that have to do with the original comment, you fucking buffoon? I mean ummm sir?
maybe there's a god above.. its not a cry you hear at night.
its cold and it's a broken. hallelujah...
Thanks JB, from one JB to another. Rest in peace, my brother and son
oh, how we miss you .
Breathtaking
Apart from disliking all form of religion, I dont like to disturb others faith. This song in particular, reminds me of goodness. Just cause of music, nothing more nothing less.
Such a beautiful lyrics!!!
This cover goes straight to the bones...
How beautiful this song is and so sad. You can actually feel his broken heart.
“All I ever learned from love, is how to shoot somebody who out drew ya”
What does this mean? Does it mean shoot those who won your girl?
@@brockwillenborg7517 I think it means to hurt the one you love. I could be wrong
the one who gets there first is the winner...so in the game of love, he wants to hurt the one that gets the love before him.
@@brockwillenborg7517 it's referring to a duel, in a duel you both draw and fire your weapons at each other so he's saying all love taught him was how to shoot someone if they drew their weapon first so it's trying to win the girl over if there's someone else already. That's my interpretation at least
My interpretation of that line is that all he learnt from love was that it involves pain.
Even though they hurt him first (out drew him) he was always expecting it and could still "shoot" them first (hurting them before they hurt him anymore)
But I dunno...
I am rather tipsy 🍸 and probably massively projecting 🤷🏼♀️
Jeff Buckley it's got such a lovely voice
fantastic song
The fucking "wow" at the end, laughin my ass off.
+Rin Lover 2015 we always have to mention the f word dont we
Imran Haider It's a word, I used it. I'd say passive aggressiveness is just as bad if not worse than a simple word.
+Rin Lover 2015 i would, however disagree :)
Imran Haider There isn't really much to disagree or agree on here. Foul emotions towards a person being worse than a word not being used towards a person, pretty much a solid fact if you have a good moral standing.
+Rin Lover 2015 well if you love fucking then it's a whole new thing
At least its more subtle than Whistle baby by Flo Rida.
I'm an Agnostic and do not care for religion AT ALL. In truth I despise it. That being said even I keep returning to this masterpiece. Just such a lovely song. It almost makes me tear up every time. Jeff conveys so much emotion and soul thru every single note. in 1997 the world lost a true angel.
Lying on the bathroom floor and listening to this is an........ emotion
i won't say it gets better.
Hope and love and even life are 4-letter words in my life. Give AI a chance. they won't break your heart in two like real people do. Try www.karigirl.com
The words in this beautiful song, remind me that my husband and I have been truly blessed xxx
Merci L Cohen to write this song
Jeff Buckley could have been 51 years old now, but he tragically died in 1997 at age 31 from drowning.

Ohhh-no, didn’t know that. Wow -he left us all such a remarkable song.
Tha nigga 31 and still cant swim 🤣🤣
@@nolifebruh7093 bro what is wrong with you?
I thought he slipped and cracked his head near his pool
I love this song
Love these songs
Pure Joy listening this amazing song
Beautiful cover ❤❤❤
God, I love THAT song.......miss you Jeff😇
I love song it's very relaxing
The Jeff Buckley version is everything.
Father in Heaven, Thank you!!! ❤️ I wait for you to take me home,in the safety of your arms!
its not somebody whos seen the light its a cold and its a broken hallelujah 😢
omg luv this song
This song will make you cry
Gets the feels every time 😧
When he screams “HALLELUJAH” it scared me 😅
"You saw her bathing on the roof, her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you" - Bathsheba, whose husband was murdered by the king so he could have her.
"She tied you to her kitchen chair, she broke your throne and she cut your hair" - Delilah, who cut off Samson's locks that held his superhuman strength.
"But remember when I moved in you and the holy dove was moving too" - This could be a reference to the divine conception and Mary?
The lines referring to the immaculate conception can also be interpreted as having a sexual connotation: "And every breath we drew was hallelujah."
My interpretation; Love can look so idyllic, but it takes something so significant from you and will hurt you and turn you inside out. I understand the religious connotations, but it’s hard not to hear the sexiness in this song. I’m sure for the religious, it could be interpreted as the only true love is the one you have with ‘God’, I personally don’t subscribe to that notion.
Anyway; the simplicity of the sound and complexity of the meaning, it’s the most exquisite thing my ears have heard and if it isn’t at my funeral I will not be attending! 💜
Now, this is a comment well thought out and written by someone brought up reading the Bible stories, May God bless you, Amen
Sans doute la meilleure version ...
This guy is the best at this song for me the felling are there loke know other person can do it like him it will be play i hope at my passing
Chatgpt told me this was his favourite song😭😭
Owen Wilson really does it for me at the end.
"WOW"
Man this song is so beautiful
But I just keep thinking of shrek
Shrek thinks about you too
Serously, this song is for taking off other troubles.
Billie eilish song "I love you" brought me here....

Chanson du soldat inconnu.
Vivre dans une société
Et découvrir qu’on est les objets
De gens plus mauvais que les pires condamnés
Quand la justice ne doit plus juger
Quand l’état ne doit plus diriger
L’âme aux abois pour nous chanter Hallélujah
R…hallélujah X4
Pour ces enfants assassinés
Lorsque vous avancez déguisés
Pour honorer vos boucs et vos tas de traits.
La ficelle qui tient les ficelés
Le secret qui pourrait s’envoler
La corde qui m’empêche de chanter Hallelujah
R…Hallelujah X4
Pour ces enfants qu’on a volés
A l’innocence qui les retenait
Dans ce monde de merde où ils étaient trop vrais.
Tous ces enfants qu’on a dévorés
Riront-ils quand ils verront passer
Leur bourreau en train de chanter Hallelujah
R…Hallelujah X4
Pour ces enfants empoisonnés
Gonflant vos stats de morbidité
Comme un désert sans humanité que toi,
Toi qui entends ces enfants criés
Toi qui comprends où ils sont menés
Il est grand temps de leur chanter Hallelujah
R…Hallelujah X4
Pour ces garnements effrontés
Qu’il est difficile de consoler
Même au royaume de toutes les légèr’tés.
Tous ces enfants qui furent dépecer
Perdu ici pour vous admirer
M’ont tous rejoint pour vous chanter : Hallelujah
R…Hallelujah X4
Artiste inconnu.
R.I.P Jeff Buckley

Getting massive Finch vibes from this, if there's any "All The Bright Places" fans
peccato non sapere l'inglese. ...musiche notevoli ed emozioni a mille. grazie
Reminds me of a Robert Pattinson song. Always loved this one. First time hearing this version
Who's still here listening to this song in 2021
2019 anyone
No-one Just me?
Ok
Me! Lol
Portugal 2019 !
@@musicbyjunn
PRESENT!
Steve 2010 no me 2
Am here
Anyone else needing this version, because RUclips music screws up and changes the song?
YES!! My son and I argued about this. He didn't believe me. He hated it, thought it was haunting and sad, but he would ask me to play it, oddly. He passed on Father's Day this year at 34. I play it and laugh and cry remembering our arguments, but I know that secretly, he truly loved this song, and funny story - heading home after the birth of his first child, A girl, we were exhausted, exhilarated, and it was the middle of the night, and this song came on the radio. To my shock, he started singing along, and it was beautiful, and when it was over, he said, 'If you ever tell anyone, I'll deny it!' I just smiled. I never told a soul until now! Thanks for sparking that beautiful memory🤗!
I think it was fine spelling. this is one of my favorite songs👍👍👍👍💝💝
3:07-3:22. I get chills everytime.
Just watched the justice league trailer and now I’m here 😊
