just finished watching the movie cake and thought it was fantastic and fell in love with this version of Halo.I actually like it better then the original version.
Someone said this movie was ART. I agree. Anniston’s best work. If you have chronic pain or feelings of great loss, this is the closest I have ever seen to what it’s like to live that Hell. The 24/7 kind. It’s sad, thoughtful, beautiful, and hopeful.
Dedicated to my son Jaxon I love you so much! This song reminds me of you. Great movie. Can't listen to this beautiful song without bawling my eyes out.
I loved this movie. I suffer from chronic pain/grief. Brain anyerism. The left side of my body is difficult but I didn't die and I can walk and use my left hand for things. The nerve pain can ware on me. This movie inspires me. It can always be worse and even with the characters difficulties, she chooses life. I needed this movie. It is a great peice of art all around. Jennifer Anniston was phenomenal.
Melissa Perez Mine too but I'm over constantly listening to it, I've know it since January of this year (still, the idea of making the video only came to my head at March)
Watching the movie Cake is what brought me here. Great, great movie. Highly recommend. Was so surprised with Jennifer Anistons performance. Must watch!
IKR, what an amazing movie, for all of you who haven't watched yet, stop looking at the comments of this video and go watch, trust me, you won't regreat it
Love the song sang by Gary. I actually think everyone sings it better than Beyonce. If you like this version you should listen to L.P sing it, she sings it amazing.
Touching movie. This song is actually how I discovered Gary and his band Snow Patrol, if you can believe that. Did not even know the smash hit "Chasing Cars" was a SP song.
You know, I take pride on it and I'm pretty humble, it will be problably the best thing I'll ever do on my life. Once again, my deepests thanks to everyone who made it possible.
A Movie that I can totally relate to. Jennifer you did so good. I’m proud of you. And Gary, this version is it! So Beautiful how love can heal the deepest wounds. Sending Love
I agree. It was such a perfect movie and it SHOULD'VE GOTTEN attention with the Oscars, especially Jen Aniston in the lead role, which was in my opinion the best pefromance of the year. Unfortunately it cannot be in competition for the Oscars in 2016, because it was last year. You see, Jen was even nominated for SAG and bunch of awards last year. So that ship kind of sailed away, UNFORTUNATELY. I feel like people didn't really understand how amazingly beautiful this movie and Jen's performance really were, so Cake, if anything was snubbed.
Damn. Well, the movie may have went out last year but the year was almost ending, so... and not only Jennifer Aniston should deserve it, Anna Kendric and Sam Worthmington should also get the nomination for best actress on the supporting role and best actor on the maine role.
This is what a cover should be and I believe was meant to be. Singing a song the way it used to be with the same tempo, melody, and even sex of the singer....that's just karaoke. Great Job!
I was always a big fan of the oscars, been watching them since I was a kid and thought they were very important, but when Jen didn't get a Oscar nomination I was like what the fuck? That's when I realized the oscars are irrelevant, ANISTON at lease deserved a nomination, she was amazing .
George Suarez I know right! I mean she could have very easily replaced felicity Jones in The Theory of Everything or at least Rosamund Pike for Gone Girl (I mean she was good in the movie but wasn't really oscar worthy in my opinion) this was by far Jennifer Aniston's best performance and probably was her only opportunity to even get nominated for the Oscars. This sucks!
Cuando me agarro la hernia de disco mire este pelicula y me represento en todo el dolor que sentia la protagonista en la espalda lo sentia yo tmb! por suerte pude mejorarme como ella muy buena peli
Google “how to download a song from a RUclips video” and there is a good article from PCMag that gives you instructions on how to get the song (only the song,) on your computer. I’ve wanted this song in my iTunes and on my computer for years. Today I just randomly searched the internet and viola! I got the song now (only the song) in my personal collection. I’m not good on the computer and it took me awhile to figure it out, but if I can do it, so can you.
joao pereira Who uploaded this amazing song has a note at the end stating (quote not verbatim) " this song is not from a movie, it's from a great art piece". Absolutely correct the film is so achingly beautiful and as another person commented "what a difference a life can make, no matter how short". Jennifer Aniston gives an Oscar, Golden Globe, SAG and BAFTA worthy performance in this film that I know will stay with me forever. I'm sure too many people have suffered the same loss, this film and performance perfectly captures their emotional pain, to say more would give it away. Do yourself a favor and watch Cake, and listen to this incredibly poignant song over and over again. Now pardon me, think I'll watch Cake for the 4th time..💔
This was my wedding song :) I believe original song was written by Ryan Tedder lead singer of one republic. Made very famous by Beyoncé but best version is sung by gary lightbody of snow patrol
Jennifer Anniston, was AMAZING in Cake. She is highly underrated, and deserved nomination.
@walentaz what? that's ridiculous. how do you know about that? have you ever worked with her? she got many good roles, and she IS underrated.
no makeup LOVED HER IN CAKE

+cheryl rockman Welcome to the club, if there was an award for best version of this song. Kanye West couldn't say the award should've gone to Beyonce
Waaay better.
Me too..

It’s sad, thoughtful, beautiful, and hopeful.
Jennifer Annistons best performance, followed by this song in the credits. I was in awe.
I'm in England I do hope Awe is a nice place...
Your flaw is revalationless and I for one applaud that...
Still crying. Cake is a GREAT movie…Anistons best…and this version of Halo…I’ve played it eight times. So glad to find it here. Beautiful.
This version is.. in my opinion, so much better and more beautiful than the original from Beyonce. I feel so much deeper the lyrics..
Joan Baez That seems to be the predominant opinion
I agree! Something spiritual about it.
Joan Baez True!
agree!
this song made me cry by the end of the movie... it felt like a closer for the character.... loved it...
Beautiful movie. Jennifer was amazing. Perfect song.
i absolutely love this and gary lightbody , he is amazing
Jennifer Annistons best performance ever. Best version of this song.
Dedicated to my son Jaxon I love you so much! This song reminds me of you. Great movie. Can't listen to this beautiful song without bawling my eyes out.

hits me so fucking hard on the credit, a good reminder how our short-lived lives could mean something to others even when we're gone
agree so badly
+deeto monzta Yes, very good movie. Hit me hard.
Damn you spotify for not having this song
It isn't available on a CD either :(
DAMN
Every time I hear this cover my heart melts. I just can't stop listening to it. I don't know about you but this cover is changing my life.
Melissa Perez Mine too but I'm over constantly listening to it, I've know it since January of this year (still, the idea of making the video only came to my head at March)
Thank, Gary Lightbody!!
I cried at the end. "The reason to live". It made me open my eyes a lot better at life, great movie
Best cover ever!!
Watching the movie Cake is what brought me here. Great, great movie. Highly recommend. Was so surprised with Jennifer Anistons performance. Must watch!
I love this cover and completely recommend the movie. They're both amazing.
Every time I watch Cake it gets better. JA should have won an Oscar for sure!!!!
The movie took me here to listen to this song again. I really love this version, it's really touching.
Cake-that movie really moved me! And this cover of halo is absolutely brilliant! Thanx for this!
IKR, what an amazing movie, for all of you who haven't watched yet, stop looking at the comments of this video and go watch, trust me, you won't regreat it
Sorry, I made a mistake " ...and go watch IT..."
Amazing song, amazing movie, incredibly amazing Jennifer! Big shame she wasn't even nominated for the best actress academy award. Maybe next time!
Love the song sang by Gary. I actually think everyone sings it better than Beyonce. If you like this version you should listen to L.P sing it, she sings it amazing.
Fantastic film... Got me through many nights in hospital after a liver transplant...i could relate to her pain. Fantastic acting
This version is so beautiful. Prefer it to the original
for some reason idk why but this song just gives me so much strength. it's just a nice relaxing but eye opening song.
Such an intense and great movie! Wonderful song. Thank you for posting!
Beautiful song.... Jennifer Aniston was outstanding extremely powerful, emotional and beautifully written....just amazing 😊
Beautiful and touching...
Touching movie. This song is actually how I discovered Gary and his band Snow Patrol, if you can believe that. Did not even know the smash hit "Chasing Cars" was a SP song.
makes me cry........ So so beautiful....
Loved the movie and the song
This is the one movie that demonstrates that Jennifer Anniston is a truly a gifted actress., and she isn't just coasting off of "Friends" fame.
THIS HURTS................I do love this version.
5000 views and 100 likes, thank you all so much,if I could, I would hug each one of you.
Who there cowboy the thanks is enough...
"Cake" was so good. Her character was real, raw, human.
I love this version of the song... Well done!!
You know, I take pride on it and I'm pretty humble, it will be problably the best thing I'll ever do on my life. Once again, my deepests thanks to everyone who made it possible.
+joão pereira Dude cmon its just a vid.... And honestly its a very simple, I mean there are only stills ...
No one gives a shit, thanks for the video though! :P
joão pereira I agree with you!!
This cover is amazing Wow.
A Movie that I can totally relate to. Jennifer you did so good. I’m proud of you. And Gary, this version is it! So Beautiful how love can heal the deepest wounds. Sending Love

This is gorgeous. I have a soft spot for a bloke singing a cover of a song I wouldn't listen to twice by the original female artist.
Just saw the movie and loved this cover. 😇
This is what a cover should be and I believe was meant to be. Singing a song the way it used to be with the same tempo, melody, and even sex of the singer....that's just karaoke. Great Job!
Cake: Masterpiece. Loved it!

This guy understands

This sucks!
there is a lot of buzz for The yellow birds.... (2017)
You finally got how political they are, and yes she was good...................
Oscar is all about voting by old people.
One of the greatest Oscar snubs for best actress, of the 2010s , was undoubtedly Aniston in Cake.
Achingly haunting, fragile and impactful
Love the song & the movie was excellent!
Wow that’s so beautiful I have goosebumps!! I absolutely love love love love love this Mr Lightbody song beautifully written and sung by you!!!😅❤❤❤❤❤
I adore this version by gL
Well done love this song
You are absolute right - Cake is one of the best movies ever and Jennifer Aniston is just amazing,

Nice! Congratulations
Same here, I was getting married around the time I first heard this and knew this has to be the song.
1:56 Gravity can't forget!
This song is way better than the movie
So beautifully done by Gary Lightbody that I had to attempt an ukulele cover.
Wow! Gary's version is definitely better. ❤️❤️💙💙
