I love the way he seems to sing with legitimate raw passion rather than focusing on technique, you can see it and feel it in his expression. This is a true representation to how he doesn't sing for fame or money, but purely out of devotion and enjoyment
I remember him saying in an interview that they use to try and sound american when they were younger but they stopped cause it was too hard lol.. ugh I love him
Okay, this is what music is to me. I am a fan of so many different musicians, but they all have one thing in common. Passion and emotion. Matty performs this song so beautifully because of that. This song is one of the most famous songs ever, with so many emotional renditions, but this version is for sure one of my favorites. His passion and emotion is so raw and pure. I love that he still carries that when he performs today.
Lived with Matt for a year when we were at ACM, it was this video over a joint I realised this guy had something special that you just don't see often. They guy is an absolute G! Much love buddy x
This song is why I've started listening to The 1975. I was on tumblr one day and hit Play on a song and didn't see his face, didn't know who Matty Healy or The 1975 was and cried because of his beautiful voice.. And now (5 month later) his music and voice have helped me through many rough times..
+DanielleIsStoned dude, you're trying too hard. It's a manner of speaking, atheists use it too. I'm one. She calls it a religious experience because he's basically god with the voice of an angel, that's all it is.
The first inklings of his soon to be legendary singing style were just showing through. What a fantastic talent, a great singer and writer and an even greater personality.
Usually people see powerful, clear vocals 100 times better than this but like... those people can't appreciate the emotions from this broken, scratchy singing. It's fucking amazing
Hes a natural performer. From then till now. I was worried before I saw him live that he might be over performing because of the amount of live gigs theyve done but he was as raw and intimate as he was in this video.
did anyone else see the audio post on tumblr for this and didn't believe it was matty at first because it sounds nothing like him so you looked up the video bc same
This guy has been speaking about and digging into faith for a long time, he won't be an atheist for long my friends. An awesome song sung by a Genius. Get in Matty boy ;)
Christopher Nunan He’s a very anti-religion, outspoken atheist. And this song, while being a religious reference, isn’t remotely Christian or religious in any nature.
This is beautiful on a whole new different level. I mean this track requires a lot of emotional investment & of course Matty can do that better than anyone, I suppose. Just so raw and genuine. I mean come on, he's an absolute genius.
Well I've 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 Well your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya She tied you to her kitchen chair And she broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the 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 ya 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 Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
lot of respect for him covering this song, i did it once at school and my voice started dropping at the time of the school performance absolute nightmare haha
This is and will always be my favorite video in the universe ♥ Matty is so cute and his voice is killer as hellllll when he sings this like uuuggghh ♥ ♥
I went their concert in 2014 in Seattle and all Matty asked was if we'd all put our phones away for one song, and some did and some did not, me being one of the few that did put their phones away. But when some people (fangirls, usually like 13/14) didn't put them away it really ruined the vibe of the song he was trying to get through to us all, I don't understand why annoying ruthless teenagers have to ruin it for people that actually care about their feelings. I'm only 16 but I don't act the way some of the kids did during this concert. Get your acts together.
I'm 14 and I am literally so annoyed by this aswell. When I go to a concert, I go there to enjoy the music and listen to the artists. I dont wanna hear thousands of girls screaming and fangirling. I hate that so much. And the fact that he asked the crowd to the concert you went to, to put their phones away for only one song and some didn't makes, me really sad.
I hate the stupid horny fangirls most. They go around screaming "Fuck me" or "Make me yours" or shit like that in concerts. It makes me want to punch them in the face, I mean, the people on the stage are still humans, and what kind of sick fuck likes to hear those gross things from millions of 13 year old stupid girls that have no idea what they're talking about.
He sounds so broken. It's beautiful.
Josephine why da fuck?
Memo Gee emotion duh
@@helpumuch6887 he isn't

Yes I completely agree. 😊😊
Anne Summers WELL SAID
Easy when you already have both.. But hey.. I won't take anything away from the guy. He's more than proven himself.
I remember him saying in an interview that they use to try and sound american when they were younger but they stopped cause it was too hard lol.. ugh I love him
Hola
True tho
UGH!
I would love to hear what he sounds like when he sings this now.
Same!
I was thinking the exact smae
Daisy Hammack his younger brother sings if better!
Sameee
@@PC-ww4hw this is a 9 year old comment chill
He sounds totally diffrent woah
Probably a mix of changing to suit style and his self-confessed cocaine addiction aged 18.
Not that much, a little less controlled
PLAY THIS AT MY FUNERAL AND I WILL START CRYING IN MY CASKET I SWEAR
Brook 5SOS well hello phandom and 5sos fam. glad to find u here
hey violet trash same @ your username and this post
brooklyn smith over reacting. Idiot
ok i didn't need my heart anyway

0:20 , 1:20 , 2:20
His raspy voice on the high notes are what I call talent.
Petition for Matty to sing this song like he did here again
well I'm in😂
Well he cant because he's atheist now :)
I did not expect to be this emotional after watching that, now I don't know what to feel. Goddamn Matty and his stupid heartbreaking voice.
You can see he TRULY loves what he's doing
Lived with Matt for a year when we were at ACM, it was this video over a joint I realised this guy had something special that you just don't see often. They guy is an absolute G! Much love buddy x
Matty didn't go the Academy Of Contemporary Music? In Guildford? I'm there atm and we definitely would of heard about it...
yer he did mate
I bet if someone asked him if he remembers u , he won’t :)
he did go to acm
This song is why I've started listening to The 1975. I was on tumblr one day and hit Play on a song and didn't see his face, didn't know who Matty Healy or The 1975 was and cried because of his beautiful voice.. And now (5 month later) his music and voice have helped me through many rough times..
I think, and not because I love Matty and the 1975 so much, this is the most beautiful cover of Hallellujah that I've ever listen to.
He's come a long way
proud of him ❤
It's amazing how he's taken such a different approach to anyone who's ever covered this before, like it's driving him mad. It's so good and in tracing
What a religious experience
Matthew is Atheist, the song is about sex, not religion. But it's nice that you view it that way 😁
+DanielleIsStoned dude, you're trying too hard. It's a manner of speaking, atheists use it too. I'm one. She calls it a religious experience because he's basically god with the voice of an angel, that's all it is.
Ana Mack very well said
Now he is atheist
Almost forgot to listen to this today
Celina Santin me too
Reminding you 4 years later to listen to this today
i love how he's smiling so big, this cover is so full of emotion as everything he sings is.
How to I get the sound of him singing this tattooed onto my whole body
Just let him know the sound of your heart ;)
What if he has a change of heart?
ffs.. I was about to use some 1975 references but you stole them all... robbers
You can get sound waves tattooed on you so when u scan them they make the sound
samy ali I have a feeling these references might get out of hand but so far (it’s alright)
The first inklings of his soon to be legendary singing style were just showing through. What a fantastic talent, a great singer and writer and an even greater personality.
wow i just found this and i’m crying, this is the diamond in the rough. didn’t even know this existed until now so thank you
imagine him singing this now, holy fuck
+Christina Luise i am somehow back here again, i love him
At first I was just Like "no. Just no." But then the feels started to hit me and I couldn't handle it. Lol fetus matty is so beautiful
favorite video ever
this is the most amazing thing ever recorded fml
love your pic 😍
he's got such a beautiful voice
play this at my funeral please.
+Claire Mamo he can play this at my fucking wedding and my funeral wow
He can play this on repeat 24/7 till i draw my last breathe tbh 😂
I love his raspy voice and that big smile in the middle of the song. Absolutely perfect!!
I have been blessed the grace of God came down upon me and illuminated my soul with the most amazing light
ugghh I'm so proud of him he's come so far and the 1975 have just had so much success god I love them so much❤️
WHY AM I JUST NOW SEEING THIS THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL WTF
And I swear there's a ghost on the silence. And His hands, all covered in blood...
It's "And I swear there's a ghost on this island" ;)
Freak
My wife inquired of understanding
Bleaxz but of course my dear you can’t
Thomas Ramirez ??
So much raw passion in his voice - really beautiful to hear
i ain't crying a twig just flew in my eye
yeah same like I'm not even outside. Stupid twig
+Destiny Sage init it isn't even windy magical stupid twig 😂
+Totally Chloe no windows, no wind, what's this wizardry?? 😂
+Destiny Sage bloody witchcraft omg Satan is upon us 😂
A whole twig oi I feel that
this is so beautifully raw. you can actually feel the emotion in his voice
I watch this like everyday. I am crying. Its just so beautiful.
Usually people see powerful, clear vocals 100 times better than this but like... those people can't appreciate the emotions from this broken, scratchy singing. It's fucking amazing
I'd love to see him do this today with a more developed voice but omfg this is amazing
I’ve been following this man and his band’s music since 2014, and I’ll do it for the rest of my life. Can’t believe I’m 20 now.
this is the single most beautiful thing i have ever had the pleasure of witnessing
i have always loved different takes on this song, but this is by far my favorite
He's so emotional, aww. He's come a long way oml
His vocal talent obviously wasn't exactly developed then by god damn that's a good performance, the emotion and passion are what really make it great
Hes a natural performer. From then till now. I was worried before I saw him live that he might be over performing because of the amount of live gigs theyve done but he was as raw and intimate as he was in this video.
I have no words, I can only say that I'm in love with this talented lad ❤️
i’ve watched this so many times and it still brings me to tears
did anyone else see the audio post on tumblr for this and didn't believe it was matty at first because it sounds nothing like him so you looked up the video bc same
This is beautiful. Gave me the chills. Matt is an incredible singer.
i watch this every day
Me too..ya know, just like, 5 or 6 times a day..😅
this is my ending song.
i still come back to this video years later from when I first found it
IM CRYING AND SCREAMING SIMULTANEOUSLY IN JAPANESE THIS IS AMAZING
this performance was so full of emotion its a beautiful thing
This is honestly so so beautiful
Literally gave me goosebumbs! He's amazing!
i was 9 and thanks for this thank you leonard cohen
hallelujah is the song i love most
I just discovered this video, and I’m sitting in my kitchen crying. Oh my heart!
I’m so proud of how far he and the band has come 😭 I remember listening to this 8 years ago and damn it brings back memories ❤️
how can ten people dislike this do you ten not realize how many of us have been sobbing over this and replaying it 24/7
I watch this everyday, and I never get sick of it
this is the most precious video aw
Just because he's an atheist doesn't mean he can't appreciate the beauty in a song.
Ffs this song is about sex not religion
This guy has been speaking about and digging into faith for a long time, he won't be an atheist for long my friends.
An awesome song sung by a
Genius. Get in Matty boy ;)
Christopher Nunan leave
Christopher Nunan He’s a very anti-religion, outspoken atheist. And this song, while being a religious reference, isn’t remotely Christian or religious in any nature.
I'm crying omg matty 😩 his voice is beautiful ✨
I'm so in love with this
This is beautiful on a whole new different level. I mean this track requires a lot of emotional investment & of course Matty can do that better than anyone, I suppose. Just so raw and genuine. I mean come on, he's an absolute genius.
I just discovered this gem
I love how far he's come and how much he has discovered his voice 👏🏻
Well I've 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
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the 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 ya
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
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
This is so beautiful and makes me so proud of him, he has evolved so much over the years.
This has been on my Watch Later for months, and I had to work myself up to watching it. Ahhh, I thought I was ready, but I wasn't. :C
lot of respect for him covering this song, i did it once at school and my voice started dropping at the time of the school performance absolute nightmare haha
impossible not to cry to this
wow thank you so much to the person who uploaded this!
It's incredible how much I smile during this video
Matty epressing those raw emotions through music never fails to fuck me up
I wish he could perform this now
This is and will always be my favorite video in the universe ♥ Matty is so cute and his voice is killer as hellllll when he sings this like uuuggghh ♥ ♥

WHY DID I NEVER KNEW THAT THIS ACTUALLY EXISTED???? LIKE???? THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED?? THIS IS REAL OH MY GOD IM SCREAMING THIS IS ART
Omg I remember this his voice is mesmerising
thank you for posting this :))
the pain in his voice breaks me in the best way
I cried
he looks like the guy from "the perks of being a wallflower"
Ezra Miller ?
no, more like Logan Lerman
You're right, I can see it! :O He sort of resembles Eric Osborne to me too, at least during that side angle in the beginning.
Shit, yes😱😍

Im 13 and not a fangirl I actually like the music
Then obviously that doesn't includes you, unless you like telling people to fuck you, but I don't think so.
Damn he's so fresh faced and young. I'm so proud of him.
