I fell in love with this song with Buckleys version, and no one, not even LC, or Rice could match it.... Foy, You just won. Best Version of Hallelujah I've ever heard. Hands down the best.
Not sure if you guys gives a shit but if you're bored like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all the new movies on Instaflixxer. Have been watching with my gf lately =)
Holy cow. How is it that only the population of a small town has seen this? And millions tune in to watch songs being bled of their vibrancy by the mainstream machine? It's beautiful watching the waiting faces of the choir as the words cascade over their heads. Beautiful. No posturing, just quiet, unassuming, powerful.
It's 3 am. I woke up with an anxiety attack and distracting myself with TH-cam videos. Tears are streaming from my eyes while watching this. Thank you, Mr. Vance, for sharing your extraordinary talent!! God blessed you, my friend.
As a lifelong devotee to Leonard Cohen, that I heard this and didn't want to commit a crime is incredible to me. Just last night I had the absolute delight of meeting this talented young man. I sincerely hope his career soars.
oh, my. . . . . .by far the best ever. . . .and the choir, dare I say heavenly. . . .thank you Foy for your talent ,your voice and your passion to perform. . . .bless you. . .Willy
This is hands down my favorite cover of this song - thank you for this amazing version. It was sad to hear of Leonard's passing tonight. I used to squeeze my head between two speakers in the late 60's and 70's and listen to the '67 album Songs Of Leonard Cohen ... over and over and over. I'll miss waiting for 'the next incarnation' of Leonard Cohen, but I'm immensely grateful for the music he's left us, and that many younger artists are keeping his legacy alive.

@@shilpanduttaZenLife ........I'm Buckley fan, but I have to admit that I prefer this version.......good job we're all different, it would be soooooo boring if we weren't......peace n' love.
Huge Leonard Cohen fan boy, and also a big fan and regular listener of Foy Vance. He's great, and I listen to him a lot. This is an excellent cover. Better than most. The only thing is, as with most artists who cover this song, they don't include all the verses. If he had done the full song, it may have rivaled the original. Still a fantastic cover.
The man is genius. He has a song for how you feel. He has songs for how you want to feel. If you listen to him and you don't feel something then you better check your pulse.
I had to comment a second time, your voice gives me chills and I could feel every emotion in your voice and I could see it on your face, you are amazing, you are a beautiful person and you have a beautiful soul!! I can't get enough of your music!
I love that he sings this song. It's so different from what he normally sings. It really shows that he can sing just about anything. He can make any song sound amazing.
One of the best artists to hear live... Pure and raw talent! Such a beautiful cover of a timeless song :,) The choir just adds to this amazing masterpiece
This is amazing. I could listen to this all day... but it probably wouldn't be healthy considering how it makes me cry.... I'm thankfull that there are still genuine musicians out there that can still find ways to touch souls....
I can't believe they recorded this in front of a pipe organ just for a prop. Am I the only one who would've loved to hear that beauty playing in the background?
A brilliant version of this amazing Leonard Cohen song, Foy does an amazing job of singing and playing this song and the back up choir is amazing and beautiful.
Foy, you gotta stop doing this man - just when i think it cant get any better.....guess what.....yea. it does! So on second thoughts - bring it on! Kieron
How come this guy hasn`t got world famous? Heard this guy first time this morning, now he`s a favourite!
That's a good question
Aye, it may take yet time for the world to see true genius.
❤️❤️ the official ,, in Love with Foy". Bottom
Absolutely beautiful Foy Vance ❤xxxx
4:00 gives me chills every time.
Unpretentious. Just the lyrics, the guitar and the voices. Oh- and the genius of Leonard Cohen! Foy Vance, thank you. And the beautiful choir!
I fell in love with this song with Buckleys version, and no one, not even LC, or Rice could match it.... Foy,
You just won.
Best Version of Hallelujah I've ever heard. Hands down the best.

@Isaac Holden yea, I've been using Instaflixxer for months myself :D
I agree with you!💯 Something else 👌

Have been there recently. Hope you are feeling better.
Thank you, sweetie. Much appreciated☺

The fact that there are 9 people who didn't like this boggles the mind. Thumbs down to them
I can't get over how perfect his voice is..
The people that were there are so lucky!
Tears in my eyes....beatiful thank you Foy.
He just put it all out there,puer SOUL. Beautiful. PEACE BE WITH YOU MY FRIEND'S. 😎😎✌️✌️🏴🏴
Goosebumps......Damn!!!!! I totally love this rendition!
i've heard countless covers of this song, Foy and Kurt Nilsen are by far the BEST at this song.. Foy Vance puts so much emotion into this.. Perfect
i mind this boy growing up even when a kid he was amazing just like his dad
xx bless you Foy
Marty

This man is a treasure.

Foy since with his heart and soul - and it's a beautiful thing to witness. Mr. Cohen would be pleased I'm sure of it.
Mr. Cohen would indeed be pleased and so would Jeff Buckley :)
Best version I ever heard
This version brought me to tears from almost from the first chord! My god ❤️❤️

this man lives for music...and music lives through him; ....brother Foy you are an inspiration!

Was not prepared for the falsetto. Wow
WOW! I don't really know what else to say or do I need to even say anything else?
Beautiful
This is incredible! Foy is my new favorite artist! So much Passion!
I've recently discovered Mr. Vance and I'm totally obsessed!

12 and a half years later. Bravo.
I have loved this song for decades. This rendition rivals Buckley's.
Love it!
This is amazing!! Love this song. Jeff Gutt sings it well also. Entirely different spin on the song.
It doesn't get any better than that!
GOD BLESS YOU, GUYS! 🕊

Words cannot describe this!!!!

It has taken till 2013 to first hear this guy and all I can say is wow. Why did I not hear this real music before now?
Why did it take me till 2017 to discover this!
I ask myself exactly the same question
Me too! :D
me too.
Try Buckley's version.
Thank you, Tønder Festival, for showing me this wonderful artist!
Goosebumps!!
Extraordinary! Beautiful cover.....eyes full of tears.....thank you, Foy.
This is so powerful it breaks my heart.
