LYRICS Well I've 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 Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Well your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya She tied you to her kitchen chair And she broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah But baby I've been here before I've seen this room and I've walked this floor You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya And I've seen your flag on the marble arch And love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah 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 ya But remember when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Maybe there's a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya And 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 Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hands down my favorite of song of all time. I have been playing and singing this song since I was 7 years old. It is classic that will stand the length of time. I have over 15 covers of this song on my phone from various artists and their interpretations never cease to amaze me. So all I can say is Thank you Jake Coco.
Leonard Cohen is one of my most beloved artists. "Famous Blue Raincoat" and "Hallelujah" are two songs tattooed on my life. I once heard a cover of "Hallelujah" sung by Damien Rice, and I loved that cover. I don't need to explain it. There're so many young people trying to show off technique, figures, shouting songs that must be whispered, hooked on the tempos without navigating the bars. I thought for years that only Cohen and Rice could break me down, and then you came along with this version. Your voice is spectacular, you don't intend to embellish a song that is sung with the soul, more than with technique. Your piano is simple, enough, but at the height for the melancholy that the song demands. Congratulations from the deepest of my soul, dude. Never stop singing, because art is the closest thing to being immortal. Oh, and those dissonant at the beginning, absolutely insane.
Even after all these years, when I feel like giving up I go back to my old playlists and com across Jake music and I puts me in a great mood, much love Jake coco.
My unborn son doesn't react to music. This came on and he reacted immediately. So I turn this on when I want him to move for my family to feel. He knows his Heavenly Father ❤️ absolutely amazes me
Absolutely beautiful cover! There's nothing more moving than just a piano and a voice. This song means a lot to me and this might just be the best version I have ever heard. Magnificent! Great job Mr.Coco!
This is the most beautiful cover I have ever heard of this song. If you could make a tutorial, a very simple one, if you haven't already, that'd be fantastic. My father and mother love this song, and they don't know that I play piano, and I'd like to surprise them for Christmas! Thank you!!!
Estoy en contra de hacer covers cuando puedes crear algo PERO este señor dios mio creo algo nuevo con algo existente. Felicidades. Muchos quisiéramos un poco de su talento.
Jake Coco, if there was one person I would be able to sing like, it'd be you. You caught me with your "Wonderwall" cover and ever since I've been hooked. If ya ever want someone to play the crap out of the piano for you while you sing, lemme know!
Mr. Jake Coco,! I'm a complete fan. You're an amazing artist. The ability to drawn someone in emotionally and then rip them apart, can't be taught. Well done, I look forward to more. Best of luck.
Don't feel like I am undermining the power and beauty of the original when I say this, because I am not. It's a very true compliment given to you specifically. Jake, you really make music move people. The emotion and compassion you put into your music reflects. Your talent is endless, and I'm thankful for the beauty that comes from that. The world needs more true beauty.
I really really like this video, you are a great singer, 2 secondes after you started singing, i had tears to my eyes, you are excellent! Keep up the work!
You cover some of my most favorite songs. I am a sucker for piano. You take already beautiful songs and make them even more beautiful. You had so much emotion and feeling to the covers you do.
holy crap what a great verison bro love this cover alot i abstly lovr the piano verison but a new fan from nj u kick but with this verison i hope u make it and ur dreams come true great verison bro gd luck and if u can every do a pearl jam verision i would love to hear how u do it thxs again mk/nj....
I think the mic picks up too much or the sounds been enhanced, it need to sound a bit more raw and just plain and simple? If you get me. Your voice is obviously amazing but I think for a song like this, it needs to be stripped back and less enhancements?
If it isn't then there's something wrong with the recording. Everything's auto-tuned these days so it's very hard for a lot of folk to know the difference.
Edward Patino I do sound technology and i can tell you that there is definetly pitch correcting technology on this, i'm sure he can sing live but this has way to much pitch correct on.
Xtant Audio I'm pretty sure he has perfect pitch. That means he doesn't need autotune. There is obviously some reverb either in the recording or just in the space, but that's not autotune. Not by a long shot.
I've heard some of your songs before and every time I have the same problem I try to change it to hear another one, but your covers are so freaking good I can't stop just listening to them over and over
I love this. I love the way you've put your heart into your singing and music from the time you were just a baby. I love that you still love singing and music and it is what keeps you alive every day. I love you and am proud of every single accomplishment that you have achieved. You are my light, my life and my strength xoxo
With this cover, you have just reminded me how powerful music is. We usually think that it takes at least 4 instruments to make good music, and we tend to forget that sometimes, it only takes one guy playing his piano and singing to make you feel a lot of emotions. You've just made me want to grab my guitar and play this song. Thank you, that means a lot to me, and thank you for being such a great inspiration.
Cette chanson représente l'amour que j'ai eu pour un homme très sincère, magnifique et doux en début d'automne 2014. Cette chanson m'a marqué jusqu'au plus profond de mon cœur. Thank you for giving me so much inspiration and peaceful with this beautiful cover.
It's beautiful, just amazing, like the harmony of voice plays with the rhythm of the music ..... Music that soothes my soul and raises it to the depths of dreams .... It is beautiful, unique ... the music is beautiful and will be forever
There is nowhere to hide on this song,You are absolutely nailing it,I am listening to something very special,amazing vocal range,especially enjoyed the falcetto towards the end.In my humble opinion World Class!!
I'm sorry I comment on loads of your videos, but you are seriously amazing and I listen to your stuff on iTunes all the time! Your versions make me cry (in a good way) :)
LYRICS
Well I've 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
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
But baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
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 ya
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And 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
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

4:19 really shows his mastery of the vocal technique.
My unborn son doesn't react to music. This came on and he reacted immediately. So I turn this on when I want him to move for my family to feel. He knows his Heavenly Father ❤️ absolutely amazes me
Curious...do you still play this to your son?
Absolutely beautiful cover! There's nothing more moving than just a piano and a voice. This song means a lot to me and this might just be the best version I have ever heard. Magnificent! Great job Mr.Coco!
It is always nice when someone can sign and play an instrument simultaneously. And sound good doing it. Keep up the good work.
wow...gave me chills! play and replay all over again! hallelujah!
This is the most beautiful cover I have ever heard of this song. If you could make a tutorial, a very simple one, if you haven't already, that'd be fantastic. My father and mother love this song, and they don't know that I play piano, and I'd like to surprise them for Christmas! Thank you!!!
Out of 60 that I listened to this is the best I've ever heard.. Thank you Jake Coco!
I love this song so much, it is by its lonesome in my "best songs ever" Playlist because nothing even comes close.
One of the best covers i have heard. just wow.
R.I.P Leonard Cohen
Piano is my favorite instrument. This version, with Jake's voice, brought me to tears. Wow.
I cry myself to sleep to this cover, I indeed have a heart and it is melting D:
Every single night XD
Absolutely love this! Your voice is so gentle, yet strong. :)
To jest najpiękniejsza wersja Hallelujah jaką słyszałam
You have so much emotional intensity...it's so captivating. You have such a unique voice that soft spoken yet powerful and utterly amazing.
I was looking for a sweet and tender version of one of my absolute favourites and I think I no doubt found what I was looking for, great job Jake!
Estoy en contra de hacer covers cuando puedes crear algo PERO este señor dios mio creo algo nuevo con algo existente. Felicidades. Muchos quisiéramos un poco de su talento.

Jake Coco, if there was one person I would be able to sing like, it'd be you. You caught me with your "Wonderwall" cover and ever since I've been hooked. If ya ever want someone to play the crap out of the piano for you while you sing, lemme know!

Just wonderful... It´s so beautiful... 👏
You are amazing ! Really talented! This song gives me chills every time
You say you play by ear? I do too! I find it much easier than reading notes, you can make it your own :)
I love the way he loses control of his facial expressions when he gets into a really good bit. He's really enjoying it :)
La chanson qui fait bien déprimer...
Musica linda
Oui :)
You cover some of my most favorite songs. I am a sucker for piano. You take already beautiful songs and make them even more beautiful. You had so much emotion and feeling to the covers you do.

Jake, the best version of this song I've ever heard. I'm fascinated. Your voice - AMAZING, interpretation - breaks my heart. You're the best!
Marcin Przybyciel Thank you very much! :)
I should thank you...!!! ;) Jake, I'm impressed. Have a nice day, weekend, be happy, make some music and make me feel better because of this... :)
Great cover, but please never forget to credit Mr.Leonard Cohen as the composer, which is not Jeff Buckley.
It got copy righted by leonard.
If you want to get really technical, this is a take on Buckleys version of John Cales cover of Cohens masterpiece.
Really love how my mans got real technical real quick. Either way this interpretation was great.
i've seen so many covers of this song but you really made me feel it ,thanks for that
I think the mic picks up too much or the sounds been enhanced, it need to sound a bit more raw and just plain and simple? If you get me. Your voice is obviously amazing but I think for a song like this, it needs to be stripped back and less enhancements?
I feel like I've been missing out on these since I never heard your covers until today.... And now I'm addicted and can't stop listening....
Michelle Boucher haha you did miss out on a few bad haircuts, but I'm glad you're here now! :) thank you!!
Anybody remember this playing in Shrek?
Lyric Rhyme main reason I'm here
Only one man can make a song 7 and a half minutes and make it absolutely incredible....
Too much auto-tune for my liking but nice piano playing
Xtant Audio this is auto tuned? :O
If it isn't then there's something wrong with the recording. Everything's auto-tuned these days so it's very hard for a lot of folk to know the difference.
Xtant Audio I'm almost sure no auto-tune here. I heard this man sing live. He just has a REALLY good voice and vocal range
Edward Patino I do sound technology and i can tell you that there is definetly pitch correcting technology on this, i'm sure he can sing live but this has way to much pitch correct on.
Xtant Audio I'm pretty sure he has perfect pitch. That means he doesn't need autotune. There is obviously some reverb either in the recording or just in the space, but that's not autotune. Not by a long shot.
This cover and Jeff Gutt's are the greatest thing my ears have heard, beautiful song and voice
Yes I'm still watching this in 2016
Sry it's not real (electronic work/ autotune)
:)
I knew he was a robot all along
What matters is that it sounds amazing (thats music right?)
My favourite cover of Hallelujah so far
I just cant stop watching this cover.Its the most beautiful cover i have ever seen.
This REALLY should be the cover for all the commercials that play this song. This simply beautiful, brought me to tears man...
I've heard some of your songs before and every time I have the same problem I try to change it to hear another one, but your covers are so freaking good I can't stop just listening to them over and over
finally a singer who puts just as much emotion in the song as Jeff himself, well done sir!
This is really one of the most beautifull versions of this song i`ve ever heard.... amazing!!!
WOW hairs on the back of my arms standing on ends, fantastic version best I have heard
Wow. Shivers, shivers, shivers. The way the chorus builds up strikes my body physically. THIS is what great music looks like people. Wow
I love this. I love the way you've put your heart into your singing and music from the time you were just a baby. I love that you still love singing and music and it is what keeps you alive every day. I love you and am proud of every single accomplishment that you have achieved. You are my light, my life and my strength xoxo
your voice,your emotion for music..It is unbelievable!
beautiful!
The passion and fury in your voice from 5:37 is earth shatteringly powerful. Magnificent work.
With this cover, you have just reminded me how powerful music is. We usually think that it takes at least 4 instruments to make good music, and we tend to forget that sometimes, it only takes one guy playing his piano and singing to make you feel a lot of emotions.

This is the most beautiful version of the song I've ever heard.
Your voice is really amazing!!!! Beautiful~
wow. I am speechless. I have goosebumps all over since the first note. I will be purchasing his songs on iTunes and looking out for his cds.
This is suck a beatiful cover of an amazing song! Your voice is very tempting ;) Keep it going that way!
You're high notes at the end, are so WOW.
This is one of my favorite songs. So amazingly well done! I love it so much! Absolutely brilliant :)

Stunning is right. Thanks for picking me up when I was really down. Even with this song. You are amazing.
Cette chanson représente l'amour que j'ai eu pour un homme très sincère, magnifique et doux en début d'automne 2014. Cette chanson m'a marqué jusqu'au plus profond de mon cœur. Thank you for giving me so much inspiration and peaceful with this beautiful cover.

Brilliant as always Jake...that last piano note....perfection.

Jake Coco... This is my favorite song and you made it better than the original! I love your voice.... so Fuck X-Factor This is real Talent!
jake man...this is amazing! i am blown away by your original sounding voice and have watched alot of your videos! keep it up!
Zach Arseneault Yay! Glad you like it! Thanks for listening. You're awesome! :)
***** any chance you have tips for a young musician starting up on youtube?
It's beautiful, just amazing, like the harmony of voice plays with the rhythm of the music ..... Music that soothes my soul and raises it to the depths of dreams .... It is beautiful, unique ... the music is beautiful and will be forever
So beautiful, there's something unique about your voice but it matches so well with the out line of this song
There is nowhere to hide on this song,You are absolutely nailing it,I am listening to something very special,amazing vocal range,especially enjoyed the falcetto towards the end.In my humble opinion World Class!!
I'm sorry I comment on loads of your videos, but you are seriously amazing and I listen to your stuff on iTunes all the time! Your versions make me cry (in a good way) :)
made me shiver with those highs
