Now, 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? It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah 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 a kitchen chair She broke your throne, and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah You say I took the name in vain I don't even know the name But if I did, well really, what's it to you? There's a blaze of light in every word It doesn't matter which you heard The holy or the broken Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah I did my best, it wasn't much I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you And even though it all went wrong I'll stand before the Lord of Song With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
How many versions have been attempted, not always convincing....but Lisa Hannigan delivers this anthem up where it can reach. No mean feat, the great orchestra does well too. Bravo.
Lots really... I love Lisa's version, but Jeff Buckley's, Rufus Wainwright, K.D Nash? Really? I guess Leonard's was the worst of the bunch! Lol. Leonard was the inspiration to bring his song even brighter!
at first I was really skeptical how well the she would be able to pull it off with her soft voice. but she just can't do anything wrong can she? That's Lisa Hannigan for you...
It is so masterfully assembled that the voice is really another instrument, it does not outstand, it is perfectly integrated. I haven't heard this many music videos.
Leonard Cohen - remember him from the songs he did from McCabe and Mrs. Miller. Must have seen the movie 10 times at the theater in 1972 or 73. The movie was always the first of two features - the second being Burt Reynolds in Deliverance.
Didn't know this version. Truly beautiful. Finally someone who isn't trying to make an impression of Leonard or Jeff's version. She truly makes it her own and that's not easy.
This girl and her voice and this song...there was a comment really , this version made me cry!!! Praises to Jeff Buckley but she nails it as well! The part :"there's a blaze in every word no matter which you heard".
Like many, this is one of my favourite songs but it's a hard anthem to import the poetry and sense of spirit. I agree with Martin McDonald. Music, arrrangement, choir all contributed to the performance and Lisa showcased the natural poetic flow of this unique song.
Absolutely mesmerising, incredible voice and tone must be heaven sent. I also love the lyrics to this song, what an amazing piece of writing. She tied you to a kitchen chair She broke your throne, and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah. Love how he calls it THE Hallelujah almost as if it’s a sentient being almost like it exists as a separate entity and can be brought forth or drawn from something or someone. One of the most profound lyrics or even sentences I have ever heard in my 49 years of living. Btw I am not religious in any way,shape or form but just appreciate beauty in its many guises and lyrically and most definitely vocally it is abundant here in spades. Thank you 😊
I loved your comment. My sentiments exactly. I've always believed that life is changed not ended so I consider myself spiritual. I think you may be too based on your own words. Thank you too...
"You don't really care for music do you?" Beautifully sung.
A voice that took on a orchestra and was victorious.
Lisa is pure perfection in every way. I Absolutely adore her !❤
Now, 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?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
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 a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
How many versions have been attempted, not always convincing....but Lisa Hannigan delivers this anthem up where it can reach. No mean feat, the great orchestra does well too. Bravo.
Also the only other human who’s touched Nick Drake’s ‘black eyed dog’
Lots really...

Woman is one of the only people on the planet how has the depth to sing this song. Brilliant. May say more when I come back to earth.
What an incredible talent and gift to humanity. Lisa, thank you.
it makes me cry... the most beautiful version I have ever heard, and the orchestra!
lisa hannigan can do no wrong , she could sing the phone book and draw us in with her emotion and smooth tones
Leonard wrote this song about making his wife "very happy"..... fair play to the guy....miss him lots
It is so masterfully assembled that the voice is really another instrument, it does not outstand, it is perfectly integrated. I haven't heard this many music videos.
I love that song. Why? because It is my best song ever, Lisa Hannigan - Hallelujah (RTE ONE) 27 April 2020
Oh my Diamond... 💙💎
YES I WAS HOPING SOMEONE WOULD SAY THIS!!!!
blue diamond
MY GREETNGS TO YOUR FEELINGS AND YOUR VOICE ... FROM EGYPT

Every time I listen to this I get goosebumps. Just beautiful
Goodness.

Leonard Cohen's classic about King David. Nice job, Lisa!
It's the perfect trifecta - A really beautiful song, sung so, so beautifully by a stunningly beautiful lady. Wow!
OMG Lisa! Absolutely one of the best versions ever!
con questa performance supera il maestro, voce limpida e suadente e drammatica e piena di futuro. grazie a e ed a L.C.
I really like the emotion she puts into this iconic song.
Lisalujah🤲
Que hermosura! No conocía está versión de la siempre maravillosa y divina Lisa, que voz por favor!! ❤
Oh my God! I love her😍
Nine people have a cold and dark sadness filling their soul.
Didn't know this version. Truly beautiful. Finally someone who isn't trying to make an impression of Leonard or Jeff's version. She truly makes it her own and that's not easy.
You did it Lisa! The tone, the cries in the closing verse, just on point.
Her voice is warm and sad soulful at the same time. Listening to her sing is like a bath for your soul
Heart flutters. Love this song. Love her voice.
My God!
Lisa me hace sentir vivo ❤️
Lisa Hannigan transforming me into a puddle once again lol Of course fantastically accompanied by all the musicians and singers.

Buckley's version hasn't an ounce of soul. I cannot understand how people like it.
A very very beautiful requiem. Thank you, Lisa.

love her voice
Absolutely mesmerising, incredible voice and tone must be heaven sent. I also love the lyrics to this song, what an amazing piece of writing.
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah.

Only 78K views. I feel so special discovering this treasure.
Listen carefully, she's telling you a secret.
i cant believe she's blue diamond in Steven Universe
👍👌
BEAUTIFUL LISA!!! ❤️ so sorry you are not with Damien but very happy for you!!! I’m still adjusting!
SUBLIME 2022...
🎼 SPEACHLESS !!! 🎶
I don't want to upset anyone but I'd like to hear Lisa sing this without the overwhelm of the orchestra... Are there any other versions??
Gloria's
seni neden charlotte gainsbourg'a benzettiğimi bilmiyorum ama ikinizi de çok seviyorum.
Brian bridgeman hauls best
Lisa is Okay but Leonard Cohen Tribute without Damien Rice? Nonsense.
Her mike is too low. She sings in a subtle, breathless way. Her mike needs to be turned up.
Amazing performance by Lisa but sadly I'm not convinced by the arrangement.
Hallelujah not Alleluia
Painful, have a look to Allison Crowe's cover, she doesn t need a philharmonic orchestra...
