One of my all time favorite singers to walk this earth. Damien is so underrated and so talented. He has the amazing ability to bring so much emotion to the table in every song he sings.
I never heard any of Damien's songs before. I ran into this song in 2018, after that I checked some of his own songs. And once you start listening to him, there's no coming back.
Most of singers today got extremely perfect voice and ways of singing. But he is different, incompleteness touches a very profound emotion from inside of a poet's body, which creates something beyond the word "beautiful".
which is why Anne Hathaway's song in Les Mis was one of the most incredible cinematic songs ever made. No prerecording, no clean lyrics, just real words with real emotion
This song is so much better when people stop trying to make a hymn out of it. This is a poem about struggle in relationship. It is much better when it's sung roughly like this. It means more. I love this version.
IMO the song works really well both ways. It is so beautifully written lyrically and the melody itself is amazing. It honestly is more about what it means to the artist and how well you can relate to that feeling
Seems like a song about struggling and losing a more traditional religious faith but finding a sort of solace or faith in something more personal and less theoretical. Can't understand how people sing it as a Christmas song. Also, it never sounds right when sung by some fresh-faced youths like Pentatonix (not saying Rice's version is like that). Nothing against fresh-faced youths, but you have to have struggled mightily over a long period to truly sing this one, IMHO.
Yes a lovely tribute to the one & only Leonard Cohen by a man who understands the depth & emotion of the words. Thank you Damien. Love your own work too, a real poet of our times.
his own songs are genius, but fuck he can cover songs like no one else. This is beautiful (as was his cover of Creep) - Damien has a voice like no other
Damien IS MAGIC! BEST COVER EVER! ❤ always looking FOR MORE, cannot get enough! Wish America would wake up!!! He should be all over OUR RADIO and play shows here 😢
I so love his voice, always sings with such feeling, tells a story. So many just sing but do not feel the song. ps. He has a shape of a heart on his forehead. Damian you are so loved.
Thank you so much for uploading this. The world needed this right now, more than ever. A heartfelt performance from a wonderful performer. Leonard, we miss you.
I LOVE THIS SONG!! AND I LOVE THE WAY RICE SINGS. HIS SONGS, THIS ONE AND 9 CRIMES GIVE ME GOOSE BUMPS AND I CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH OF HEARING EITHER SONG FROM RICE. AND THANK YOU MR. COHEN. GOD BLESSED YOU AND YOU SHARED THAT BLESSING WITH OTHERS. REST IN PEACE.
Every time I listen to your music the little girl within me cries and your version of Hallelujah hands down is the greatest, if you were here I would go to church to listen to you play every day. God bless you Jeff Buckley ☮️♥️🙏🏾🫂.
Love the guitar accompaniment..so nice. Good singing too..ha! The story of Bathsheba intertwined with the story of Sampson and Delilah...Leonard could tell a profound story in his songs.
I love Damien’s voice! 🎼 I could listen to it all day ❤️ Maybe it’s the Scott in me? Keep making Music Damien it makes your souls shine through! ❤️🎄 Merry Christmas 🎁
I heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth The minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composing hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah... Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you She tied you to her kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah... There was a time when you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show that to me, do you ? But remember when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was hallelujah, hm hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah... Maybe there's a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you It's not a cry that you hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...
If this be blasphemy, so be it, but I like this better than Jeff Buckley’s version. It’s clear without being over-enunciated, and I’m spared that odd intro that sounds like Buckley is tuning up.

Y’all need to check out Clay Tall stories. He lives in New Zeland. His version is absolutely awesome. I gave him a Bravo. Beautiful. Just listen to the difference, you desire. Sincerely.
Dear, Sir Damein Rice D. Rice. I’m probably the Greatest Fan of your Life. When I was young and I was so Impressionable. A Trusted Friend at the time would swap songs with me. Us having very Similar Taste in Music. We would trade Songs like Currency 💴. Lots of Great Trades have gone Down at my beloved Childhood home. At least 6 beers 🍻 Deep. accompanied by Any Sex Drugs rock and rolls We could find lying around. Yet I’ll never Him walking in with a mixed cd 💿. He through it in or on. I heard Lonely for my first time. I Instantly felt some type of way. I Loved it. I wanted more. Part 2. Damein Rice w lyrics
Jesus está voltando leiam a Bíblia Sagrada cristã e pratiquem ...aceitem ao Senhor Jesus Cristo quem ainda não aceitou....Ele vos ama muito... Ele quer que todos se arrependam de seus pecados e recebam a vida eterna... através de Jesus temos vida eterna mas sem Jesus é condenação eterna
One of my all time favorite singers to walk this earth. Damien is so underrated and so talented. He has the amazing ability to bring so much emotion to the table in every song he sings.
Not underrated - but certainly illusive. He writes highly commercial songs and then disappears. Where is he?
Must say I love Damien Rice but hated this performance. Never going to top Jeff though, I suppose
@@matthewparkinson5462 don’t think he’s trying to top anyone. It’s a tribute, not a contest.
@@matthewparkinson5462 you clearly weren't listening then
I like underrated. It means they are not played to death and commercialised. More special, feels like your own.
I never heard any of Damien's songs before. I ran into this song in 2018, after that I checked some of his own songs. And once you start listening to him, there's no coming back.
love damien rice, my mum used to play him for me since i was 3
The Blower's Daughter and Rootless Tree
sameeee
I remember is also a good one
He is fantastic. I'm glad you discovered him. ❤🎅
It’s been a decade since i discovered this song, and this is still the best version
This is one of the greatest singers/songwriters/artists to walk the planet.
Steady
Yeah but what about the rest of the planets in our galaxy?
One of the only covers that captures the meaning of the song. His and Buckley's are hands down the best.
None of this over the top warbling.
I think this is directly a cover of Buckley's version.
@@ScoopMeisterGeneral I’m totally amazed by Jeff’s version!!
@@virginiaknighten4687 Jeff Buckley was unique in so many ways... My favorite version as well. Damien did a great job here too.
I think Damien and Jeff both make the song proud. Just fantastic to listen to.
i also really like this version by myles kennedy th-cam.com/video/KgTBDRCGjKU/w-d-xo.html
Most of singers today got extremely perfect voice and ways of singing. But he is different, incompleteness touches a very profound emotion from inside of a poet's body, which creates something beyond the word "beautiful".
WOW!
Most singers today get autotuned the shit out of, more like.
It's like cobain, the boss, or dylan. Sing from the heart and the gut, and you'll touch more hearts with that raw emotion.
I don’t think you get a more complete Musician then Damien rice
which is why Anne Hathaway's song in Les Mis was one of the most incredible cinematic songs ever made. No prerecording, no clean lyrics, just real words with real emotion
This voice has something that can't be compared to any other in the world.
Ed Sheeran fans might not agree with that
jeff wilson I'm a fan of Ed, but I agree with him. Damien is unique.
You're absolutely right!!!
Aid Besic CARL DEAN WILSON.
Great tribute to Leonard's style too
This song is so much better when people stop trying to make a hymn out of it. This is a poem about struggle in relationship. It is much better when it's sung roughly like this. It means more. I love this version.
I couldn't agree with you more
IMO the song works really well both ways. It is so beautifully written lyrically and the melody itself is amazing. It honestly is more about what it means to the artist and how well you can relate to that feeling

Nothing against fresh-faced youths, but you have to have struggled mightily over a long period to truly sing this one, IMHO.
Damien in his own right is a poet.
Yes, and K.D.Lang's version raw and pure as well.
His voice is just pure naked emotions
The way he sings it honors the songwriting so much. Love it.
Damien is a beautiful star that not many have seen but it's there and hiding in the background of all the glamourous fancy stars.
Yes a lovely tribute to the one & only Leonard Cohen by a man who understands the depth & emotion of the words. Thank you Damien. Love your own work too, a real poet of our times.
After all this time it still is absolutely the best version of this song I have heard.
by a mile. No one else should be allowed to sing this.
Hard to disagree
Jeff Buckley's is even better 🙈
This version wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for Buckley’s, but ok
his own songs are genius, but fuck he can cover songs like no one else. This is beautiful (as was his cover of Creep) - Damien has a voice like no other
Check out his cover of the Bee Gees "to love somebody" with Ray lamontangne.
Damien IS MAGIC! BEST COVER EVER! ❤ always looking FOR MORE, cannot get enough! Wish America would wake up!!! He should be all over OUR RADIO and play shows here 😢
I can hardly imagine someone to sing it better.
Love love love this rendition. Damien Rice can do no wrong... beautiful.❣
I feel this prayer more than ever when Rice sings it. Hallelujah!
This guy has soooo much soul he’s beautiful.. he has no idea his power and his ability to reach people ... 😘
I so love his voice, always sings with such feeling, tells a story. So many just sing but do not feel the song.
ps. He has a shape of a heart on his forehead. Damian you are so loved.
This song has rightfully been covered and covered, beautifully by many, absolutely love the sobriety of Damien Rice's voice, thank you
Thank you so much for uploading this. The world needed this right now, more than ever. A heartfelt performance from a wonderful performer. Leonard, we miss you.
I miss him too. So much!!!💜💜💜
This cover is right up there with the original. Damien Rice, sublime.
I LOVE THIS SONG!! AND I LOVE THE WAY RICE SINGS. HIS SONGS, THIS ONE AND 9 CRIMES GIVE ME GOOSE BUMPS AND I CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH OF HEARING EITHER SONG FROM RICE. AND THANK YOU MR. COHEN. GOD BLESSED YOU AND YOU SHARED THAT BLESSING WITH OTHERS. REST IN PEACE.
I don't think an imaginary god blessed Leonard,he was a product of his wonderful humanity not of an imaginary greater being
What a special performance! That room was filled with talent, and they all knew it was special.
What a beautiful and moving tribute. I truly appreciate amazing artists and their work.
so pain has a voice
fuck it man...you are insane..
Awesome! Great song, heartfelt interpretation... R.I.P. Leonard Cohen.
My only Son is probably going to die from liver disease this year at 43 years of age.I will keep this in mind for his service.
I still can't believe Leonard is gone.
Amazing performance Damien!!
Love the Passion and tone of your voice!! Thank You!!
Every time I listen to your music the little girl within me cries and your version of Hallelujah hands down is the greatest, if you were here I would go to church to listen to you play every day. God bless you Jeff Buckley ☮️♥️🙏🏾🫂.
this is up there with Jeff Buckley's cover for me. His voice suits it so nicely
Love the guitar accompaniment..so nice. Good singing too..ha! The story of Bathsheba intertwined with the story of Sampson and Delilah...Leonard could tell a profound story in his songs.
best version of this song by a mile.
Absolutely breathtaking
One of the best covers for me.
This guy is brilliant ! First time I have heard of Damien ,love it.
This is my favorite version of this song!😊
So many great versions and, I know this will be blasphemy to some but, in my OPINION, Rice does this song better than anyone.
No...
Jeff Buckley does
@@capricornsotc597 No...
Rice does.
@@capricornsotc597 I clearly said, "in my OPINION", to possibly stave off narrow minded simpletons. But, to no avail. You are muted.
I love Damien’s voice! 🎼 I could listen to it all day ❤️ Maybe it’s the Scott in me? Keep making Music Damien it makes your souls shine through! ❤️🎄 Merry Christmas 🎁
Who is Scott? 😂
Also: Damien is Irish.
damien rice = damien nice
I never really thought about it like that before
Lisa would disagree with that :(
💕💕💕🌺🌺🌺😍😍💙💛
Can the song lyrics still be counted under stupidity due to trauma or is this already a call to "evil"? Long live the arrogance of Leonhard Cohen!
Never!😍😍😍😍😍
this is song #11 on my "for my funeral" list
What's the rest of it?
The best version of this music.
A legend sings another one's masterpiece.
Bu şarkının bu yorumu ile yıllarımı geçirdim belki. Geçirmeye de devam edicem. Damien iyi ki çocukluk denicek yaşlarımda tanımışım seni. Hallelujah! 💙
That’s how you do it Damien Rice magic
my favorite cover so far. 👍
The only version of this song that works. Everyone else can stop now.
A most beautiful cover, voice , awesome music artist 😊❤️🎶🎼
Magnificent!!!
He cleans up well!
He is gorgeous in every photo shot and his soul sings out.
Well, thanks for making me cry Damien
Just bloody brilliant !
Absolutely love him, he needs new music!!!
Damien Rice 🍚 he’s so magical 🧙.
I'm sorry but I love his passion. and in love
I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...
There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do you ?
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah, hm hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...
Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
It's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...
I'll see you this November 2023 Damien!
Best version ever❤❤❤❤❤
This man is the love of my life
It's blasphemy to many but, this is my favorite version of this song.
Mine too, but Damien is my all time favorite artist.
Muy buena versión... Excelente voz... Echa con respeto a un grande en la historia de la música como el Sr LEONARD COHEN..
He would be so Proud of You!!
RIP Leonard
Wonderful cover -fab performance-thanks
Was disappointed that this cover wasn't featured in the 2021 Leonard Cohen documentary!
❤ the best ever version ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

How about KDLang?
If this be blasphemy, so be it, but I like this better than Jeff Buckley’s version. It’s clear without being over-enunciated, and I’m spared that odd intro that sounds like Buckley is tuning up.
