I want to tell you something young lady I have listened to every version of this song I could find from Cohen himself. KD Lang was the best I have heard. But you are right up there with the best and towards the end you brought tears to my eyes! Incredible voice! Than you!
A perfect song for Zkye's voice. She just belts it out perfectly. The anticipation at the start before the main music kicks in, perfecto! Another classic for Christmas.
This was one of my late Dad's favorite "modern" songs, hopefully he's smiling down on the heroes of our homeland - this is for you my brothers and sisters in the ZSU; behind the lines and on to victory
A Sublime performance from an outstanding vocalist @ZkyeCompson-Harris. Perhaps the best match of artist to Song in the Christmas collaboration. Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and continued success in 2023 🎁🎄🎉🎤
Best cover of this song that has ever been done and I have heard many. Unbelievable talent in this entire room! That voice is up there with the greatest! So powerful!
Just when you think you've heard every possible interpretation and version of this classic, along comes Zyke and the boys and takes it back to the basics - 👏👏👏
After hearing countless versions of this song I have never heard one that comes even close to KD Lang's live version (at Leonard's Tribute concert). Until now. I always consider her rendition a masterclass in how to perform a song, I will now also refer to this unbelievable version. Zkye you knocked it out of the park. Thank you so much for this.
everything she sings is full of soul, what a amazing vocalist- just so impressive . thank you Zkye. hope they use her in many more videos just a amazing singer, what more can anyone say....wow....
Had I never heard Zkye sing before, I would have said this performance was unbelievable. But I will admit that I cried at the end from the heart and soul she generated for this classic from Leonard Cohen. I don’t know how the band held it together at the end. I would have been a puddle of tears. Zkye, thank you. You are an amazing vocalist. Darren and each band member, thank you for giving this to the world to enjoy.
The formidable Zkye, peeling back every layer of longing, aching emotional pain, did not falter for a second, 100% authentic in conveying the song's meaning and feeling. If you can deliver a performance that wells tears, tingles skin, and warms - or breaks - hearts in people, you're super-powerful, because you can move them emotionally, and then you are embedded in their memories. For me, this is the standout track of the whole album, and that's quite something, since the whole album was incredible - also quite a feat, bearing in mind the time frame in which it was organised, recorded, produced and delivered.
Love the band, love the voice, love the music….. hate the lyrics. It’s not really a Christmas song is it!?!? Merry Christmas to everyone. Thanks for all the music.
A very simple song brought to use buy a world class group of performers putting there Hearts & soul into the performance keeping it simple but feeling the strength of the music
*OMG #2 !!! What a recording! Zyke gives a vocal performance that’s one for the ages! Brilliantly mixed by Mr. Darren MULLAN. Back in the days of MOTOWN, someone like Barry Geordie would have surrounded Zyke with an army of SONG WRITERS! Her DYNAMICS are just mind blowing! And just like MOTOWN, she’s belting it out in Darren’s basement! Talk about raw TALENT! It’s comforting to see the future standing right in front of us !!!*
I didn't know why I liked this version so much until I watched Behind the Sound. Turns out it's hearing the various instruments solo. Like the acoustic guitar at the start - lovely. Then the few notes from the electric guitar - a whole different sound but one that fits like a glove. I might eventually have figured these out on my own but never would have realized the impact the solo drum spots had on the song. Once you've been made aware of them, they just jump out at you. No wonder hearing this group and watching these videos is so rewarding.
Coven, Buckly and now Sing It Live. Only a few musical manifestations of this masterpiece make it into the permanence of my long-term memory, this is that thirteen version…
When Zkye begins to sing, Darren is translating everything for deaf people with his facial expressions.... it is just impossible to stay untouched with such powerful delivery. Thank you
One of the beautiful things about Singit Live is each singer brings something different to the table. Another outstanding performance for the Christmas season.
*OMG !!! Great recording and vocals! As the ultimate compliment, Zkye literally sounds as if someone put the POINTER SISTERS, locked them in a room, and just said SING !!! Zyke is THAT GOOD! Simply amazing voice! When you hear her talking in other videos, then hear her singing, you have to ask her, where in the universe have you been hiding?*
OMG!!! What an amazing soulful rendition of this great song! Zyke not only hits a home run but it’s a grand slam knocked out if the park. I’m still waiting for my goosebumps to go away. The bands low key dynamic back up is astounding and Darren’s production is off the hook. Best version of this song out there that I’ve ever heard!Thanks for the beautiful musical gift and Merry Christmas to all of you.
Thanks for the wonderful experience Zkye, Darren, Cam, Stuart, Damien & Michael. I can't believe that these musicians and Darren's productions are not at the top of the radar in Australian music. After a lifetime of music from all over the world we have the world class SingitLive on our own doorstep. Fabulous voice Zkye. You brought us a version that blows away the pale offerings of the past 20 years. Old man from Brisbane.
When I saw KD Lang perform this song st the closing of the Olympics in Vancouver I thought nobody can ever top her performance. Till now! It grabs your soul. Thank you 🙏👍
One of the best versions I've ever heard. HALLELUJAH - Praise the Lord!! The best Christmas gift ever given to man the Christ child. To be born, live, die on a Roman cross, buried and risen from the dead for the forgiveness/pardon of our sin.
Zkye, I believed every word you sang. I've listened a few times and the emotional connection you showed was infectious... it moved me... if I didn't know better I would have thought you wrote that song. Top shelf. 🙏
Thank you so much. It’s a song I really love to sing and get inside and if I’m not nearly in tears myself when I sing it live, I haven’t done it right. Cheers xx
Wow, wow and wow again! Here's an idea: A live show on the RUclips!
Omg ...just gorgeous on every level...well done everyone..YAHOOOOO MERRY CHRISTMAS
Zkye. Rock chick with the voice of an Angel
Yes, Perfect Song for Zkye. Amazing an grand.
Sometimes Music Speaks To The Human Soul.
I want to tell you something young lady I have listened to every version of this song I could find from Cohen himself. KD Lang was the best I have heard. But you are right up there with the best and towards the end you brought tears to my eyes! Incredible voice! Than you!
Jeff Buckley is one of the best, hands down
Completely agree with user xb7 💯
❤
🔥🔥 🔥
I didn't realize chills could get chills!!!
Raspy voice fit perfectly.
He would have liked your version! WOW...
If this didn't touch your Soul, then I'm sorry for you. "Hallelujah"!
Amazing!!!!!
The best performance of this group ever!!!
Made me cry
No words about Zkye Compson-Harris voice...The best female voices of the 80s come to mind
WOW !! Zkye - you were made for this song - beautiful job.
WoW ! She has a very beautiful voice !
A perfect song for Zkye's voice. She just belts it out perfectly. The anticipation at the start before the main music kicks in, perfecto! Another classic for Christmas.
She's world-class!
This was one of my late Dad's favorite "modern" songs, hopefully he's smiling down on the heroes of our homeland - this is for you my brothers and sisters in the ZSU; behind the lines and on to victory
Probably the most beautiful female voice that I have ever heard ❤
Her voice stirs my soul.
This song brings tears to my eyes.
I love the way you sing it.
Nothing but world-class music and performances from SingIt Live, this one is no exception! Merry Christmas everyone!
Oops....😊 Zkye's Compson- Harris.
A Sublime performance from an outstanding vocalist @ZkyeCompson-Harris. Perhaps the best match of artist to Song in the Christmas collaboration. Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and continued success in 2023 🎁🎄🎉🎤
One more to go then I can buy the album 🥂
Exquisitely beautiful and sad
When the Spirit moves the angels sing...
Best cover of this song that has ever been done and I have heard many. Unbelievable talent in this entire room! That voice is up there with the greatest! So powerful!
Delicada interpretación. La mejor que he escuchado de esta canción. Vuestras versiones siempre tienen una calidad añadida❤❤
Sober, soft... Beautiful !!!
Just when you think you've heard every possible interpretation and version of this classic, along comes Zyke and the boys and takes it back to the basics - 👏👏👏
Hallelujah Sigitlive, Hallelujah Hallelujah 👏
After hearing countless versions of this song I have never heard one that comes even close to KD Lang's live version (at Leonard's Tribute concert). Until now. I always consider her rendition a masterclass in how to perform a song, I will now also refer to this unbelievable version. Zkye you knocked it out of the park. Thank you so much for this.
Hallelujah to the voice of this incredible singer!
everything she sings is full of soul, what a amazing vocalist- just so impressive . thank you Zkye. hope they use her in many more videos just a amazing singer, what more can anyone say....wow....
I think this is and Pentatonix are my favourite versions of this song. Everything about this is top notch. What a voice.
Leonard Cohen approves.... 🍁🍁🍁
Had I never heard Zkye sing before, I would have said this performance was unbelievable. But I will admit that I cried at the end from the heart and soul she generated for this classic from Leonard Cohen. I don’t know how the band held it together at the end. I would have been a puddle of tears. Zkye, thank you. You are an amazing vocalist. Darren and each band member, thank you for giving this to the world to enjoy.
How did I miss this????? ........... Perfect.
The formidable Zkye, peeling back every layer of longing, aching emotional pain, did not falter for a second, 100% authentic in conveying the song's meaning and feeling. If you can deliver a performance that wells tears, tingles skin, and warms - or breaks - hearts in people, you're super-powerful, because you can move them emotionally, and then you are embedded in their memories. For me, this is the standout track of the whole album, and that's quite something, since the whole album was incredible - also quite a feat, bearing in mind the time frame in which it was organised, recorded, produced and delivered.
If Zkye had been making the scene in the 60’s
Well THAT WRITING would have been
on the World Wall...
Just so
It’s all there
And I mean everything
Hallelujah indeed. Such a soulful, stirring version of the Cohen classic. Thank you all.
Nice to see Stuart get in the mix on the Xmas album!
Man, simply breathtaking.
This has to be the greatest version of this song ever done, wow!!
Beautiful story beautifully sung! ❤
Love the band, love the voice, love the music….. hate the lyrics. It’s not really a Christmas song is it!?!? Merry Christmas to everyone. Thanks for all the music.
A beautiful arrangement, had me in tears
Floored!
A very simple song brought to use buy a world class group of performers putting there Hearts & soul into the performance keeping it simple but feeling the strength of the music
Zkye is amazing. Her voice man. I keep coming back and watching this and each time it amazes me.
Wow! This song lift us up to the Zkye . . .

When Zkye begins to sing, Darren is translating everything for deaf people with his facial expressions.... it is just impossible to stay untouched with such powerful delivery. Thank you
True
Wow! One of the best cover of this classic. Right up there with K D Lang's live version at the Winter Olympic. Soulful and emotional. Just beautiful.

This brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for this beautiful gift!
Beautiful arrangement accompanying a wonderful vocal performance!
This song has so many mutations, it was nice to hear the original lyrics. Zkye's voice captured the intensity of the lyrics very well, Good Job!
One of the best versions I've ever heard.
HALLELUJAH - Praise the Lord!! The best Christmas gift ever given to man the Christ child. To be born, live, die on a Roman cross, buried and risen from the dead for the forgiveness/pardon of our sin.

Just picking my jaw up off the floor. Her voice is unreal and the arrangement is perfection.
Oh my days , goosebumps, tingles and lumpnin the throat. Such emotion in that vocal and performance ❤
Amazing talent. Have to admit, Leonard was a better writer than singer, and This is probably the best version I’ve ever heard. Beautiful.
Beautiful- The Best Cover band in the World.
