When the lyrics say "It goes like this, the fourth the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift" The actual piano chords are playing in the song at the same time
When you're an ogre and overhear a princess saying that something is ugly so you assume its you and get angry but is actually her because she is an ogre at night. so you go get lord farquad and his crew and come back in the morning just as the princess turns back to a human and you get your deed to your swamp and as you go there you talking donkey friend tried to ask why you all grumpy and you get mad at it and everything else and walk away and feel all sad while the princess also feels sad. Yep. This music fits that circumstances.
This song hits close to home and I'm crying because it's my dad's favorite song. My dad and mom divorced when I was three and my dad still sings this for me some times. Now I'm crying because I miss him living with us.
God I'm not that old but listening to songs like this one make me feel old. This is the best version of this song in my oppinion because i grew up with it.
I swear this is the song described in Piano Man. "I'm not really sure how it goes, but it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete when I wore a younger man's clothes."
We listened to this on Sundays at church while in bootcamp. (United States Marine Corps) We would all sing together. It honestly helped many get through each week.
I remember singing this song along with my mum while watching Shrek, having fun while singing so loud the neighbors would complain. Those are just a distant memory now, for my mother and I have grown apart because of her depression and abuse... Oh what I would give to go back to the simpler days...
I want to cry so bad this reminds me of my friend Nate ( died from suicide ) this was his favorite song :( I miss him so much Xc it kills me everyday Xc because I think about him daily ( his death was recently like a couple months ago
I think it is sad that people think taking their own life is the only solution to their problems. Think of the good times you spent with your friend, and have this song as a reminder to them.
Bless you and your sweet friend. I lost loved ones when I was young to suicide and it is such a terrible tragedy. I believe they are Angels among us and watch over us.
Yes I rember when I was 5 everyday I woke up sun was shining and I had my best friend....my cat she loved me and I loved her crap now I'm tearing up.....😢😥😪😓🙏😭😭😭😭😭😭
Listen, if you know you know but I'm not going to explain it all I'm going to say is this song is really beautiful and meaningful and has been my favourite song for years now
Dazzie27 yeah of course. the meaning of hallelujah doesn't make any person cry I think, it's a praise. I also don't know to say why this song made me, and you, cry O.o
its probably because you feel old, like youve grown up, because as most people think of this song when we were young watching movies, and you just feel like you miss those days i guess? i dont know sorry
Well this song has a very sad and mournful sound to it. Makes sense that you would be moved to tears. Makes me sad sometimes and if you really listen to the lyrics of it it is quite sad.
once you remember that a song is from shrek it will always be a shrek song there is no way to forget that it is a shrek song every time you listen to it shrek will still be there in the back of your mind.
the first few lines are about king David 2 Samuel 11- chapter 12. the last few i can easily see as being about him so but i think that the composer was drowning ties to his own life (or to shreck's predicament) or it could be said that it what God was trying to say to david. like a how he can use the brokenness in our lives. ether way it is up for internation this is just how i see this gorgeous song.
You don't need religion to love God for He doesn't belong in a book, a building or any other man made doctrine. He belongs in your heart and nowhere else.
When the lyrics say
"It goes like this, the fourth the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift"
The actual piano chords are playing in the song at the same time
Spectrosity wow I just noticed these chords, thanks for pointing that out
Spectrosity what key is this in?
@@0piumaeternum C minor I think
Yep, music
@@wetcarpet7537 its between c major and a minor, its pretty ambiguous and really depends on what part of the song youre talking about
how to tell if a song is a good song: ask yourself, is it in the shrek soundtrack?
nailed it
I can’t even argue that the movies got a pretty damn good soundtrack
Honestly
I always come here to the same video, read the same comment, and always laugh.
Then people wouldn’t watch it
The fact that this person put "Shrek" in the title
Scratch Network Productions: Zachary Reynolds
They used this song in the movie Sherk
Diamondzach21 no it's not
Jeovmen20 yeah it's in the first Shrek when Fiona leaves.
CosKC Cole ya I know it's shrek that's not what I'm talking about, I'm correcting someone that said shrek was where the song origanated from.
whoever sang this song just did a unbelievable job
Dylan Leyvas Leonard cohen
Dylan Leyvas an* unbelievable job
Well it was written by Leonard Cohen but this version is sang by Rufus Wainwright
idk man maybe its in the title
When I die, I want this played at my funeral whole shrek ravages my body for his pleasure. Only then, will my life be truly ogre.
Thank you.
*slow clap*
I want this played at mine to I don't give a crap how old it'll be I don't want the crap we have now and have in the future probly
edgy_assassino onions
edgy_assassino my god
does this make anyone else feel emotional? makes me sometimes cry cause it's so soft and sweet
AetherPig12HQ YT "IT'S LIKE YOU'RE MY MIRROR"
AetherPig12HQ YT crying rn 💔Ur not alone
Maciah Diggs it will touch your soul
AetherPig12HQ YT touch is an understatement
Will do
This song gives me hope for all those moments I get bullied for loving Shrek with a passion that no other human in existence could ever feel.
*cries after realizing how old I am now*
You're not alone

Yep. This music fits that circumstances.
this relatable
when you try too hard
Dead funny
When he said “when you’re an ogre” I *FELT* that
Ikr lol
This song hits close to home and I'm crying because it's my dad's favorite song. My dad and mom divorced when I was three and my dad still sings this for me some times. Now I'm crying because I miss him living with us.

I swear this is the song described in Piano Man. "I'm not really sure how it goes, but it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete when I wore a younger man's clothes."
"Well, well you thought wrong!" Kills me every time.
I was watching Shrek when I was really young like 4 or 5 and it's all I would watch, I'm 17 now damn, the feels man, the feels!😭
We listened to this on Sundays at church while in bootcamp. (United States Marine Corps) We would all sing together. It honestly helped many get through each week.
This song reminds me of my hamster that died yesterday because she was so sweet and kind and died of cancer ):
Derek Marsh I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you get through these hard times
awwwwwww I'm so sorry it's hard to lose someone or something. my teacher in church just lost her dog because of cancer . what kind was it
and someone out there loves you and they might feeling what you feel right now

That's what I'm really looking for hallelujah in your voice.............🙂🙂🙂🙂 Finally I've found it.......
I remember singing this song along with my mum while watching Shrek, having fun while singing so loud the neighbors would complain. Those are just a distant memory now, for my mother and I have grown apart because of her depression and abuse... Oh what I would give to go back to the simpler days...
i'm obsessed with this song. I had it all memorized at one point.
+KC star same!!!!
I love this song and the mention of bible characters was interesting.
@BARBATVS 89 the whole Bible is based on fairytales
"But all I've ever learned from love was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you." Beautiful, scary and applicable to life.
My son’s favorite i listen to it several times a day!! (He is 3 and loves shrek)
This, EXACT point on point is what im going to play at a concert next week :) Cant wait! Great piece!
theres something about this song thats just so soothing.
This song hits a place in my heart that makes me long for a place a moment that I can’t explain
I want to cry so bad this reminds me of my friend Nate ( died from suicide ) this was his favorite song :( I miss him so much Xc it kills me everyday Xc because I think about him daily ( his death was recently like a couple months ago

I cried that Shrek wasn't in Smash Ultimate
Best version, Always clicking the repeat button! Thanks! :)
shrek is love, shrek is life......

it's never oger lol
The Crazy Cat Lady ogre* ...
No
I got the play on words.....clever. also, I'm a cat......so there's that.
Thank you for posting this.
To answer people's questions about what it means. It is wondering why God seems to have forsaken us because there aren't anymore signs now.
Actually, it's about love.
TheNinjapainter I don't think he ever said that
its actually the story of king david 😔😔😔
breanna brewster There's multiple biblical references, like Samson having his hair cut. It just begins with David
the song is still about when king david wanted another mans wife how he feel in love
This was amazing! I loved this song when Andy Dick danced to it on Dancing with The Stars!
Do not listen to this song after a breakup (of any kind), you will be depressed
Such a beautiful song it helps me get over a break up that sucked
Amazing!!! No other words can describe im speech less
dude.. memories
Makes me wanna cry this song was at my great grandpas funeral ;(
It upsets me that this is single handily the best rendition of the song
This reminds me of summer staring outside beautiful day and seeing nature
"I remember when I moved in you" wait what?
Castaways TV shhhhh it's meaningful and beautiful
Brenton Morand probably referencing to the Holy Spirit moving in us :P idk
Omg same. I had the exact same reaction lol!
Referring to the Immaculate Conception
this is a jewish song by a jewish artist lolllll definitely not about the immaculate conception
Been listening nonstop for a few hours
This song is beautiful
No other song sums up the hope and hopelessness of the human condition. RIP, Leonard. RIP.
Listen, if you know you know but I'm not going to explain it all I'm going to say is this song is really beautiful and meaningful and has been my favourite song for years now
My friends in choroid are singing this song and they sound amazing together
Same with my friends, I haven't heard them sing it yet but I'm guessing it's going to be beautiful
Love this its the best song that's not really all that well known anymore hopefully my choir sings this
Shrek got me here
Does anyone else cry and think about life to this song
yeah it happens
Im here in 2021. Shrek is love,Shrek is life
It gets me everytime 🥺🥺🥺
This song knows how to mess with your feelings for real. I cried the entire time
Im crying and i dont know why.
It made me cry too. do you know what hallelujah means?
yeah but im not religious, so i dont think that has anything to do with why i was crying. i think its the childhood feels.
Dazzie27 yeah of course. the meaning of hallelujah doesn't make any person cry I think, it's a praise. I also don't know to say why this song made me, and you, cry O.o
its probably because you feel old, like youve grown up, because as most people think of this song when we were young watching movies, and you just feel like you miss those days i guess? i dont know sorry
Well this song has a very sad and mournful sound to it. Makes sense that you would be moved to tears. Makes me sad sometimes and if you really listen to the lyrics of it it is quite sad.
Shrek was such a masterpiece.
One of the best music I have heard
beautiful song
Good... I'm not the only one that cries to this song...
once you remember that a song is from shrek it will always be a shrek song there is no way to forget that it is a shrek song every time you listen to it shrek will still be there in the back of your mind.
Beautiful just beautiful
This is not get old to my heart now and forever
Amazing, truly beautiful...
Hauntingly sad. But be thankful and appreciate what you do have.
I'm an atheist and I still find this song amazing.
The song isn't about religion but more than half of his lyrics are about stories in the bible
Music is universal my friend. I enjoy this song as well.
Michaelanthony24680 same but it's not about religion. it's the way Leonard wrote his songs.
It doesn't matter what you believe in, music draws everyone in.
You my friend are feeling Gods Holy Spirit move through you
the first few lines are about king David 2 Samuel 11- chapter 12. the last few i can easily see as being about him so but i think that the composer was drowning ties to his own life (or to shreck's predicament) or it could be said that it what God was trying to say to david. like a how he can use the brokenness in our lives. ether way it is up for internation this is just how i see this gorgeous song.
2:35 "the holy duck"
HALLELUJAH 🙏🏻🌹💎👑
Shrek is love, Shrek is life.
Beautiful Song👑
Honestly , one of my favorite songs
My social studies teacher was singing this and now I'm looking up every version of it...again
at 2:34 "holy duck"
I love this song. It's so beautiful.
just getting in the christmas mood
shrek's cover songs have a big impact to my childhood.
The ones that dislike this song really don't care for music.
I love this. So touching
This just reminds me of how much music about 10-15 years ago was astronomically better then it is now
Best version ever
In my opinion
I’m not even religious.. but this song 😩
You don't need religion to love God for He doesn't belong in a book, a building or any other man made doctrine. He belongs in your heart and nowhere else.
I loved shrek so much lmao, it was a good movie, an even better meme.
2018 anyone??? 😭😭😭 my childhood!!!
I love this song so much but it almost always makes me cry
Best version ever
tbh this is better then the original but R.I.P Mr. Cohen
That is a beautiful song!
