    I'll be honest, I didn't think this would work. I was WRONG, you guys ... pulled it off. I would never have thought this song could work outside its traditional arrangement. Even the camera work was fitting. Starts with some cool drumming then surprise, Hagar is back, then Judith starts singing and she lets us know this AIN'T gonna be any Hallelujah you ever heard before, THEN the camera reveals the back-up ... SICK, these three are all STARS. Jack & Ryan, it's shit like this, that makes me ... LOVE YOU GUYS.

      Jakin Yang Nope - particularly not that version. I dislike the song more for its associations than any fault of its own; too many films, TV series and memorials have used it as a lazy shorthand for “this is a sad moment” that it always comes across as trite and clichéd now. It’s a great shame, since it’s musically such a great song. And that’s the advantage of this version; it’s a completely different take on it, which lets the musicality stand out from the baggage that usually accompanies it.
