Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen/Jeff Buckley Cover - Benjamin Costello
After the recent passing of Leonard Cohen, and the long-since untimely passing of Jeff Buckley, I decided to share this cover inspired by their beautiful music and how it touched my life.

Sunken Day (new Original)

This is the first posting of my new song "Sunken Day" which I hope will be on my next album. I dedicate it to everyone that has suffered from depression and send it out with hopes that they have seen the sun again. Sunken Day Oh, sunken day - you took somehow our time away - so broken now Moments we sought - were never found Moments we fought - were dragging us down Oh, sunken day - please set ...

I'm still listening to this song in 2024 - btw 20 years after "Polaris" by @jimmyeatworld was released originally. You should really re-record your cover, I'd love that!
We stan!
The best ever. Since i saw this video 2011
I saw this video first in 2011, too. It's a really really really good cover <3
so wholesome
2024 peeps, where you at? I super like this cover!
thanks for sharing
wow love the harmonies! wonderful cover
Hoping I can purchase this version on MP3. Beautifully done.
You have a beautiful lyric voice. Good dynamics. I can’t play and sing at the same time, but you do both very well!
Thank you so much!
Einfach immer noch klasse :)
Since the video's 14 years old, i do hope you've since worked on that self-image of yourself, Benjamin. :) Great tune and lyrics, again. You renonate on so many levels: way way more than "only" skills and talents - and hard work !- , there. It's all about soul, as somebody already said. It shines BRIGHT.
... Playing for a totally deaf audience, obviously: must be why they scream so loudly ;) So sorry for them, missing all the beauty - for they must be blind, too !
Love this. I don't even know the original but can't help think it's no big deal, since you're there to deliver it to us with your usual - almost casual !- might. Thanks againnn. :)
My favorite from your own compositions, so far. As said earlyer - much earlyer ! Shame on me !- t's true we can hear the water falling through the strings... Thanks for sharing !
... A bit late but still in love, man ! You with your songs and me with all of you ;) Just listening to TH-cam's mix of your videos - and cutting off averybody else to avoid disturbances while enjoying your closeness... Hope everything's well !
Great great great. Next time i trip on my own feet, i'll remember to come back here for your warm sharing and a sonic hug.
Because of you, i surprise myself listening to songs that i usually would have slipped on ( i'm not much of a meloman or musician, but i DO love/need songs to live and i just can't resist a vocalised soul ! ). So thanks - again !- for making me a little more filled up, each time.
Not a big fan of harmonies but, hey ! Benjamin: you know you could sing the dictionnary and it would still makes sense ;)
Never recovered from your stunning cover of Sondheim's " I Remember " but, hey ! You did it again ! How come your whole soul escapes through your voice EACH TIME you sing ?!
what strings do u use... the sound is identical to daves acoustic
Hey! I am pretty sure I was using Elixir Nanoweb 80/20
Awesome! Beautiful voice.
I can’t stop watching this video. The voices and the life in the background always cheers me up
I Adore your version of this!!
Thank you so much!! :)
@@benjamincostello I love your voices
I love this song and you made this so great! Thank you so much! You're amazing. I don't know if you have a daughter, but I think she would love to hear this from you! You're voice is so sweet! You brought tears into my eyes! 🥲❤️👍
You are so kind and you made my day! Thank you!! ❤️
Great cover!
You clever boy. Wonderful transposition.
Thank you! :)
unbelievably beautiful
the kids playing... as an audio engineer with a soft spot for field recording samples this video is it. harmonies are super cool too. thank you.
Thank you! It was pure serendipity and a good moment with a good friend. Thanks for watching ☺️
Beautiful!! I have to take out my guitar and FINALLY learn this. Each and every time I hear it, I start singing! Thank you for sharing!!
That makes me very happy to hear! :)
Beautiful version. Find it in 2022 and I’m absolutely in love :3
Thank you! :)
I‘m still listening to this great cover in 2022 🎉
Thanks for reminding me about it. I will have to sing it with my brother again when we get together for the holidays. Thank you for listening and for your comment!
@@benjamincostello I‘d love that!!
2023 - An amazing song and incredible cover. 14 years later and I still pop in to listen every so often.
I think we need to re-record it!
I wish they sold this on iTunes. This is very pretty

When my daughter was being married, Martina's version would work for a dad so I wrote to Ben and asked him for this version of the song for the Father Daughter dance and he was kind enough to send me an MP3. There wasn't a dry eye in the house when we danced to this. Just a beautiful rendition. I just love it.

You may not remember, but you allowed me to use your version of this song at my wedding back in 2009 to for my Father/Daughter Dance. I had found you here on TH-cam and somehow managed to get in contact with you, and you were so incredible in helping me get a version that our DJ could use (and of course give you credit for). So many people commented on what a beautiful version it is. Today is one year since my father passed away suddenly in his sleep. My Dad loved your song and dancing with him to it is is one of my most favorite memories. Thank you for giving me the gift of that memory. ❤️
Hi Benjamin . Alicia, who you may of known as Olive , the girl who asked you to sing this song to my wife Tracy spoke of you often very dearly. I so appreciate you doing that for my daughter and for my wife Tracy. Alicia past three months ago unfortunately. She was 31 years old and forever a beautiful artist singer and poet
Well done guys, cheers. Is that a Taylor? Suggestion for another Weepies cover: All This Beauty. Doesn't seem to have any treatments like this!
😳 what a great voice
Thank you!
Hello Benjamin. I've been your fans for many years since I'd listen to your Radiohead covers. Your voice is so amazing. When I was a student, I even download these videos into my mobile phone so I can hear it all day without WIFI and even though when I was sleeping, it gets me through all my youth, and I even started to learn to singing these songs. Anyway, I appreciate that you made these covers and original songs. My favorite song is your no surprises cover . It was first song that get me found your youtube chanel. I dont know why It has been taken down in your chanel , I really love your version of no surprises. Can it be upload one day again?I hope I can listen to my favorite song that you sang again. Sorry about my English:)) I hope you enjoy your day.
it's so gentle on the ears..great cover!!
2021 and this is still the video I run to for comfort
Thanks I'll play this at my Quencirera most likely
Awesome! Thank you!
@@benjamincostello your welcome your so talented
Awesome
Im trying not to make a sound while crying. My wife's beside me.
I love it!
How lovely! I'm struggling to learn the harmonies right now
Beautiful rendition dudes, thank you for this.
We’re taking my Dad off Life Support today. I was so close to my Dad and I’m gonna miss him so much! Thank you for making this cover. It gives me peace. Can’t wait to reunite with him again in Heaven❤️
My deepest condolences. I am so thankful to have brought some peace into the world. Thank you for letting this recording into your thoughts today -- I will keep you and your father in mine.
