Music is a therapy, and for me, the most successful of all therapies. I turn to this song on my worst days, plug in my earphones and drive out to my peace place. The music oozes the power to reinstate your faith in gratitude and I have never been able to live through this song with a dry eye. On the worst of my days, I feel irrelevant, pathetic, useless, insecure, extremely vulnerable, always on the edge, and many a times, a huge failure. And I was watching One Tree Hill as a distraction. That was the first time I heard this song. Season 5 Episode 18. Something moved in me and after 6 months of struggling with my mental state of mind, it finally got me to break down. I remember listening to nothing else for the next 3 months because, honestly, that's how long it took me to understand it. My worse days don't come from situations. It comes from how I react to them. How I react to them come from what I think of them. And what I think of them is nothing different than what I think of me. And it's when I think less of me, that it all starts spiralling down to a worse day. Hallelujah is a song that will make you feel above it all. It will show how truly irrelevant your thoughts are. It will make you feel how truly blessed you are to be right where you are, and how one bad day cannot define your entire life of all the work you have done on yourself. Today, for the first time, I could live through the song without shedding a tear, but feeling the power all the same. Music is a therapy. You don't have to believe it. You just have to let it play it's role. Sometimes it takes weeks. Sometimes days. Sometimes months. For me, it took 3 years for this song to truly help me move on. And most days, that's all we have. One song helping us deal one day at a time.
This is a dangerous song to cover because everybody knows the original so well and many have people have covered it, but I think that Kate sings it so beautifully and somehow makes it her own!
That is the exact version/ performance of Hallelujah that I've been searching for! She is a super force of nature. I've searched these videos And I've scoured the land, Finally I can now say hallelujah. She chose the exact 5 verses that speak to me. She delivered, in every moment. She captured my soul in every fall and lift.
This is perhaps the best performance of this amazing song I have ever heard. Have been working in radio for over 40 years, why has radio not discovered this amazing ladies' music.
your voice amazes me. I lost my best friend this year to a suicide and her and I would listen to your version of this song every night because it was the only one that ever made her feel better. She battled depression for a long time and unfortunately her disease got the better of her but, I know she's with the Lord now. I miss her every single day. I would love to come hear you live somewhere because Michelle and I always talked about following you and seeing you perform. You're beautiful and your talent is out of this world. You probably get thousands of texts and the chances of you seeing this one are slim to none but, I would love to see you live somewhere...I live in North Dakota lol
Thank you for allowing your passionate voice and guitar to be a instrument of praise to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Hallelujah ! Amen ! Thank you for sharing your Music. God Bless !
Saw a different rendition of this song elsewhere but I remembered hearing this version by Kate years ago. Can't believe it's over a decade old. Absolutely stunning.
sûrement la plus belle version de cette magnifique chanson. A chaque fois que je l'écoute des émotions surgissent. c'est sans aucun doute ma chanson préférée
Kate you truly are a Voegele, flying above the desolate sides of music in this new era. A talent and beauty that is hard to match. From a fan just south in Youngstown Ohio
Well I've heard there was a sacred chord David played and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do ya ? 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 Well 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, she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah Oh baby I have been here before I've seen this room and I've walked this floor You know I used to live alone before I knew you And I've seen your flag on the marble arch And love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah Well 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 And remember when I moved in you The holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah Well maybe there is a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you And 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, Hallelu Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
When my sister got married, two of her friends played and sang this to the 80-odd people on the dinner. It's one of those magical moments which never seem to end: me, eating the best chocolate cake I've ever tasted and listening to this piece of music sang in such great a voice. Those five minutes seemed to last for hours and I wouldn't trade that particular moment for anything.
Hallelujah has been one of my favorite songs for a long time.... Mr Cohen, Jeff Buckley, Jon bon Jovi, many different artists have mastered it... However, this is the most Beautiful version I've ever heard. I even used it to make a slideshow for my cousin's funeral last week. thank you so much for making this beautiful cover!
This is a beautiful version. You might like an artist named Janet Devlin who sings this and other covers...she does a beautiful rendition of "Numb", "Jolene", "White Wedding". Great Irish singer.
The point is not to have a good voice but use it in an original way. She uses the same vocal tricks that almost all singers, gives nothing personal and original to the interpretation of the song.
Even though numerous artist have sung 'Hallelujah'......but for some reason her voice 'just' plucks the strings of the heart on those high notes..............Simply AMAZING VOCALS......!!!
This song so beautiful.I think it's about life, love and all the things that tempt to take you away from that. Love in general is hard and to love with all the bad that's in the world is even worse. When you can love someone or something for the good and bad it's something that's not conveyed easily. That is what this song is to me.
This song cover is amazing, i can say that in my darkest moments this song has been there to comfort me, it truly resonates with me. IT's one of those songs that you need to go through the situation to understand it. Her voice gives a feeling of understanding and suffering but it's hauntingly beautiful.
one tree hill is one hell of a tv series, no tv series could actually get close to it, it has emotions, drama, love, feeling, teaching youth everything thy are suppose to know... A person grew up watching OTH will be a matured, kind-hearted and just the best person you could ever want to be around with. Mark and the whole crew did a wonderful job, brooke davis, the strongest character thruout the seasons, thumbs up to sophia bush.
It has so many meanings that people can interpret it with, that is what makes this song such an amazing piece of art. All art can be seen in so many ways, by so many people

Paper Crowns You are absolutely wrong. It was written by Leonard Cohan. Look it up. from Wikipedia: Cohen wrote around 80 draft verses for "Hallelujah", with one writing session at the Royalton Hotel in New York where he was reduced to sitting on the floor in his underwear, banging his head on the floor.[8] His original version, as recorded on his Various Positions album, contains several biblical references, most notably evoking the stories of Samson and traitorous Delilah from the Book of Judges as well as the adulterous King David and Bathsheba:[9] "she cut your hair" and "you saw her bathing on the roof, her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you".[7]
I already knew how long it took him to write it.There are various interviews where he talks about how ironic it was that it had become such a big hit with gospel groups and churches when it actually had nothing to do with religion. The use of the biblical references are strictly metaphorical and used to present the 'sacrifice' of love. When I say it has nothing to do with religion I mean the actual meaning of the song has zero to do with religion despite there being so many references. Someone made a point of saying, 'I'm atheist', as if believing in God was the only purpose for liking this song when in reality that couldn't be further from the truth.
mccow56 "I wanted to push the Hallelujah deep into the secular world, into the ordinary world," he once said. "The Hallelujah, the David's Hallelujah, was still a religious song. So I wanted to indicate that Hallelujah can come out of things that have nothing to do with religion."- Cohen
on peut dire les reprises les reprises...mais elle ajuste une trop belle voix juste une tuerie...en france avec ce qu'il vient de se passer c juste de circonstance ca pause...
This is probably my favorite all-time song and this is the best performance of this song I've ever heard. This is not a song anybody can sing You have to have the voice for it and Kate does not only that she has the emotion for the song like you can feel her emotions when she sings this
I might be the only one watching/listening to this video in 2024 but her voice fits perfectly with this song.
You knew you weren't the only one here, be honest. 🙂

have you heard the one by rufus wainright?
Saame
"yes" I personally think it's the best version too. performed perfectly.
Trueeee
Libby Summers I agree. I fell in love with this song back when she performed it on One Tree Hill. Love her version.. 💕
She should be more famous... It's unfair that other singers who have no voice, are more popular
Yeah I know 😕
Thanks to auto-tune, I'd rather hear actual voice like hers
+t a m u n i a concordo.... gostei muito da voz dela... Concordo plenamente.

7 years later and still the most beautiful and organic version of this song I've ever heard!
Yes!!!
It's ridiculous how beautiful this cover is
When I listen to this song, I don't want anyone else to sing it other than Kate Voegle. To my ears, nobody can sing this song better.
Music is a therapy, and for me, the most successful of all therapies. I turn to this song on my worst days, plug in my earphones and drive out to my peace place. The music oozes the power to reinstate your faith in gratitude and I have never been able to live through this song with a dry eye.
On the worst of my days, I feel irrelevant, pathetic, useless, insecure, extremely vulnerable, always on the edge, and many a times, a huge failure. And I was watching One Tree Hill as a distraction. That was the first time I heard this song. Season 5 Episode 18. Something moved in me and after 6 months of struggling with my mental state of mind, it finally got me to break down.

Hallelujah is a song that will make you feel above it all. It will show how truly irrelevant your thoughts are. It will make you feel how truly blessed you are to be right where you are, and how one bad day cannot define your entire life of all the work you have done on yourself.

I've always loved the song but no one sings it better than Kate. Discovered this version from One Tree Hill also
This is a dangerous song to cover because everybody knows the original so well and many have people have covered it, but I think that Kate sings it so beautifully and somehow makes it her own!
That is the exact version/ performance of Hallelujah that I've been searching for! She is a super force of nature.
I've searched these videos
And I've scoured the land,
Finally I can now say hallelujah.
She chose the exact 5 verses that speak to me. She delivered, in every moment. She captured my soul in every fall and lift.
She sang this in a show she was in
I come back to this every few years. First heard on One Tree Hill :)
I just found out this was original to Leonard Cohen
Same
This woman had one of the most beautiful voice I've ever hear. Also she does not smell like feet. If anyone gets that reference
Haha I got that reference! Hope she doesn't smell like feet!
killerwan367 Im still watching reruns of OTH lol, love her!
killerwan367 Awesome reference :')
haha i met her!!
she looks like it though
This is perhaps the best performance of this amazing song I have ever heard. Have been working in radio for over 40 years, why has radio not discovered this amazing ladies' music.
Hands down the best version of this song… 🔥👏🏼🔥👏🏼
Sorry….but not to be ugly, have you heard K D Lang in 2010?

I cried when I first watched this video. Her voice was so amazing and the lyrics are touching

Hervé Leffondré oui ces version es vraiment magnifique. j'ai les l'arme au yeux car moi elle représente beaucoup
Et quelle femme 💜 pour interpréter ce magnifique morceau ....
You have no idea how much I needed to hear this under the current circumstances. It really helps to calm me down.
Me too
If I could only listen to one song forever, I think this is the one
Stil beautifull after al these years!
Kate you truly are a Voegele, flying above the desolate sides of music in this new era. A talent and beauty that is hard to match. From a fan just south in Youngstown Ohio
Well I've heard there was a sacred chord
David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya ?
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
Well 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, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Oh baby I have been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
You know I used to live alone before I knew you
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well 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
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well maybe there is a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
And 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, Hallelu
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I listened to roughly 60 different versions from different vocal Artists and verse by verse her passion rang out & stayed true. Very good Kate....
Wow, the voice! One of the best versions of this masterpiece. ❤

It's one of those magical moments which never seem to end: me, eating the best chocolate cake I've ever tasted and listening to this piece of music sang in such great a voice.

The best version of this song... Just amazing...
I have always loved this song, but she just gives it a gorgeous sound. Its beautiful!
Great version of the song!

The point is not to have a good voice but use it in an original way. She uses the same vocal tricks that almost all singers, gives nothing personal and original to the interpretation of the song.
Amazing voice, beautifully sung by a beautiful woman! Wish she was single!
I could listen to this song for the rest of my life...and I'm twenty seven years old.
This is the only version that matters

I never really liked this song. That is until I heard Kate sing it and I've been InLove with her version ever since.
One ree hill gave my generation soooo many great songs, the music in that show and the artists were incredible!!!!!! Kate is no exception
2023 and still one of my favs from my favs playlist and still one of the all time best covers 👌
Bei diesen Lied denke ich an die lieben Menschen die ich verloren habe.ihr seids weiter hin in meinen herzen

This song cover is amazing, i can say that in my darkest moments this song has been there to comfort me, it truly resonates with me. IT's one of those songs that you need to go through the situation to understand it. Her voice gives a feeling of understanding and suffering but it's hauntingly beautiful.
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent with me today as I lay in bed recovering from surgeries due to Breast cancer.
Thank you God for OTH. For without it I would have never found Kate voegele
one of my favorite versions of this song! 👌🏽
You're amazing! If anyone ever wants to hear the best version of hallelujah EVER sang by anyone, I always show them your video!!!
I thought her recording of this song was much better. It was deeper and had a richer sound. . . Still she does sing it beautifully. :)
I’ve heard countless other versions of this song but, to me, Kate nails it the best. She surely struck a chord in my ears and soul.
one tree hill is one hell of a tv series, no tv series could actually get close to it, it has emotions, drama, love, feeling, teaching youth everything thy are suppose to know...
A person grew up watching OTH will be a matured, kind-hearted and just the best person you could ever want to be around with. Mark and the whole crew did a wonderful job, brooke davis, the strongest character thruout the seasons, thumbs up to sophia bush.
Still my favorite version!!!
its 2020.am i the only one who is listening to the best version of Hallelujah?
I love Kate!
Hands down the best version. Chills every time I listen. She has a soul to her voice that I wish was better marketed
Super voice and music 🎶
This cover IS the best!!!
J'adore cette fille

I feel this version captures the emotion in a way no man's voice can. Finally, I love this song!
It has so many meanings that people can interpret it with, that is what makes this song such an amazing piece of art. All art can be seen in so many ways, by so many people

Your faith was strong but you needed proof.
You saw her bathing on the roof,
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you.
She tied you to a kitchen chair.
She broke your throne, she cut your hair.
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah.
Chorus
Maybe I have been here before,
I know this room, I've walked this floor,
I used to live alone before I knew you,
I've seen your flag on the marble arch,
Love is not a vict'ry march.
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.
Chorus
There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below,
But now you never show it to me do you?
And remember when I moved in you,
The holy dark was moving too.
And ev'ry breath we drew was Hallelujah.
Chorus
Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you.
And it's not a cry you can hear at night,
It's not somebody who's seen the light.
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Chorus:

Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah.
i love being christian again!!!
There is a good reason it brings you peace. Before you fall asleep try asking Jesus, "If you are really the Saviour please show me the way."
