    once again with gorgeous control + breath work (plus that insane high note towards the end??). this one felt so raw & vulnerable-exactly how i feel the song should be sung. the "cold and broken"ness of the hallelujah was palpable through the screen. really beautiful work, colm

    when I listen to Leonard Cohen's performance of this song, the impression I get is of grief that has almost healed. Whereas this one, the grief seems fresh, and that hit me right in my soul. These scars take time to heal.

    This is a beautiful cover. Hallelujah is a song that needs to be truly genuine, or it comes off as fake, and this cover just works.
    Also, the pure range, especially in the last chorus, was amazing

    This cover genuinely gave me chills. My grandfather loved this song and recently passed away but I know he would have loved this.
    I'm performing it at his funeral, and hearing you has calmed a lot of my anxieties around the entire situation.
    Thank you for posting this cover Colm, you are truly a blessing to this platform.

      @-Wyrmwoods- My condolences on the loss of your grandfather. I absolutely love this song and like you, this version gave me chills. It may be the best version I've heard and I've heard nearly all of them. I'm glad you'll be performing it at his funeral. Would like very much to hear your version.

    Sir I can't' begin to thank you enough for you singing this. This is one of my mother's favorite songs and I sent her this video. I waited to hear reply before I wrote this. She called me crying and through her tears she told me how beautiful it was and that she loved it, she also wanted me to tell you thank you for recording this song. I can tell you with all honesty that you are one of my favorite singers and this cover is one of the best I have ever heard. Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart❤. God Bless from Missouri U.S.A

  • @Hyreia
    @Hyreia Před 5 měsíci +12

    This used to be the one song to make me just start weeping no matter where I was. It has a lot of sentimentality and bitter emotions for me. I thought I worked past that from listening to it over and over.
    It all came flooding back.

    This is what I sang alone at my wife’s funeral in my poor and broken baritone voice. I kept my promise dear. It’s been 2 years now and still makes me hurt… makes me wish that I never gave up social drinking, a large scotch neat would help about now.
