Just saw Rufus in concert tonight and his voice is spectacular in person AND of course he ended with this magnificent song. Can’t say this particular rendition is a favorite, as it seems he’s holding back a little? If you’re familiar with Wainwright, you’ve probably heard other renditions where he really lets it go and sends chills down your spine. Makes me teary every time!
i love this song, by far one of my favorite of all time. Probably at top of list. First time hearing this version with orchestra too. There is no one who sings this better than Rufus Wainwright. His voice, clear, strong. I have watched his other videos also. Live versions, all exceptional. I too like his depth, breathing, because this song requires alot of vocal, lung strenght to hit those deep and high notes. He is sitting at piano, playing. Choir ethereal like Angels playing, harps.
From hearing Rufus sing this on other occasions, this one feels like he’s holding back a little. Not quite the “ belting out” that I’ve heard him sing elsewhere. Nonetheless I so agree that no one can touch Rufus when it comes to Hallelujah! Saw him in concert at a small theater and I think listening to him singing while playing the piano was even better than his version. His voice was just SO strong all night. Maybe we just got very lucky! But it was amazing.
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 in the moonlight overthrew you 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 Baby I have been here before I know this room, I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you. I've seen your flag on the marble arch Love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah There was a time when you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show it to me, do you? And remember when I moved in you 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 at someone who outdrew you It’s not a cry you can hear at night It’s not somebody who has seen the light It’s a cold and it’s a broken 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 Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah

Never tired to listen to Rufus! Magnificent voice! J' adore
great song that Rufus gives all the emotion it deserves and thanks to Cohen for creating it
Leonard Cohen était le plus bon, et c'est une très beau version
Nice to hear him sing a song from the grandfather of his daughter Viva!🤗
Realy? I didn't know that
Cantata da Rufus è sempre magica.
Nessun'altro è capace di renderla magica come Rufus

Rufus remains the ultimate. Flawlessly magnificent voice.

Beautiful performance, that I found I like better every time I play it! Unusually exceptional in all aspects for a live chorus symphonic concert!
Il est très beau en plus de sa superbe voix
best song ever
100%
Magnifique agréable à attendre mes oiseaux perruche adorent ensemble cette réussite d'amour et de paix

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 in the moonlight overthrew you
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
Baby I have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
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 at someone who outdrew you
It’s not a cry you can hear at night
It’s not somebody who has seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken 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
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah
