Covers of this song are a dime a dozen and it's really tough to stand out with this one. However, this is a very special performance and there's an energy there that is pure. Gorgeous, guys. Really.
+Ten Second Songs ...Yes, there are hundreds of covers of this song... but is a chance for someone to be heard when they do this song, because someone WILL click on it. Most reasonable people enjoy Cohan, and this song in particular. Skeye does a great job, and the guitar accompaniment is really noteworthy. Good job. I think I like Alyssa Trahan's version better, of the new kids on the block. But, that's just me. Both are worth listening to. However, if you want to have your socks knocked off with this song, check out the a capella version by Jackie Evancho and Peter Hollens. If that doesn't impress you, nothing will.
This has been covered by way too many amateurs on TH-cam and I've probably waded through 200 of them. This is hands down the best one there will ever be. The adjective for that voice does not exist.
This is the best cover of Hallelujah I've ever found and I've searched for years. In my opinion this song hits the hardest when it's sung by a woman with a powerful voice like yours. Just brilliant ❤
I, as many have said have revisited this many times over the years. But this time, it hits very different. My dear old mums funeral tomorrow. It's no tragedy, she was elderly and had had a good life. But to me very sad none the less. I'm gutted I don't get to hear her say hello my darling when I walk in anymore. 😢 Lovely cover beautifully done that really pulls on my heart strings. ❤
I wish I could fill your heart with joy just to repay you for the privilege of listening to this miracle. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, guys. Long days and pleasant nights.
I swear the 1 million views was all from just me, lol. I seriously come back to this video many times a week. Its calming, beautiful, and just nice to listen to. I also love how she throws her head back during the chorus ;) lol
This is my favorite version of any cover EVER. I come back to this at least once a month and I crank it wide open. Awesome job and I hope you're still making music somewhere.
I listen to this song every night when I lay down for sleep and every time tears roll down my cheeks. In these days of pure insanity and absolute madness, the beauty that comes through this young ladies voice is life saving to keep my spirits up and have faith in the beauty of humanity. I just want to thank you both.
Same! She is right up there with Rufus Wainright and Jeff Buckley, my other favorites. And the guitar sings it’s own song. God’s rich blessing to both of these young people.
@@peggydeffley2194 I still listen most every night and still moved by this beautiful performance. Found a couple more I really like, search IMAJ - Hallelujah and Aleluia (Hallelujah) em tres idiomas. Both sang in several languages. Funny, I'm not the biggest fan of the song per se, but the singing performances, and the great guitar are powerful in its raw beauty. Take care and chin up!
For many years I always felt like this song had great potential to be incredibly powerful and beautiful, but despite listening to any and all covers I could find I never found any which truly lived up to the potential I felt the song had. They always fell short in some aspect or another. That is, until I found this cover, which to this day remains my all-time favorite version of Hallelujah. It's just PERFECT. Thank you so much for this rendition, it has touched me deeply and been a comfort in some of my bleakest moments!
Yesterday I saw my ex wife with her boyfriend for the first time. I still love her...we used to listen to this song together and she showed me this video...this song always makes me feel like we're together again. Lame as it sounds... I miss my best friend.
You posted this so long ago, I wonder if you will get this reply. There is nothing lame about feeling a connection to a past loved one. It’s actually a precious gift to remember someone so fondly after so many years - and moreso when it’s a connection that failed, but still means something to you.
I'm left almost speechless with tears in my eyes. It takes an incredible amount of talent and soul to impress me and you two, man, you two are absolutely amazing.
Incredible voice. I'm a fan of the original song by Leonard Cohen and many covers have been done and embarrassed the song. This is not one of those embarrassments. This is gorgeous.
Fantastic job. You hit every part without overdoing it. So many people make the mistake of throwing way too much at this song; changing or adding timing, tempos, harmonies, orchestras... all the extras blow the depth and breadth of what the song already is. You and Jeff Buckley are the only 2 artists who ever covered this song who gets that. Well done. Thank you.
I lost my wife of 25years, coming up on two year mark. I love her and miss her still. My heart aches for her still. It will always. I am at peace with it despite the loss because I know she talks with the Angels and rests with Jesus. Can't wait to see her there.
@James Baker who cares that you or anybody can do it, only thing that matters here is that he did it and it was amazing so please, l beg you not to ruin this comment Thank you
I've heard alot of people sing this song but this verson and this girl win hands down. Beautiful performance. I love that she is simple clear and neat in her singing. Others feel the need to throw their voices around and it just becomes annoying.
Hello hearing this actually made me cry a lot due to the memory of my grandpa that passed away this year from cancer and I sang this song for him when he was dieing and it Is the memories that hurt me the most so I am going to sing this song and hopefully I don't cry while I sing it
There’s plenty of covers of this by some really good singers! With all the bell’s whistles..but this cover flat out tops them all grit and soul In this one just pours out
You have made this atheist, tough guy cry like a little puppy. What a masterful performance by a powerful woman. What a wonderful artist. Thank you, Maestra.
In my opinion, the is much very right about this version - in a stairwell with soaring vocals and that understated, crystal clear electric guitar. Thank you.
I heard this girl and this song. And then I wished so badly to feel her hallelujah, the passion and not just the brokenness. Then a year or so later I loved him. For the first time, I could feel that holy godhood that love encompasses and every breath I drew was hallelujah. (We, I hoped, breathed) Both of us had seen the flags and walked the floor, got trampled in the victory march, and never thought we'd find her hallelujah. My head swam with hallelujah the morning after, dizzy for him. it sounds like her. It sounds like her. I waited, baited breath, ready for the fall, but still all I hear is hallelujah. This is a precious, precious thing. His melody keeps her in time. Something underneath the eyes, not to be underwritten. Something like balance. She gave me this name for a thing I never knew. I would love to thank her. But how can you thank the moon?
If I lived in an apartment there, I'd love to hear them in the stairwell. I'd stop doing whatever I'm doing and just sit, listen, and appreciate their beautiful talent. This version brings me to tears. Easily my favorite cover of this song.
Not the most polished musicians to perform this cover but without a doubt my favorite version. She starts with a certain fragility, but soon transforms into an extraordinary confidence which is radiantly authentic, and it rattles my soul. Combine that with the bare bones production of single guitar that is played perfectly for her vocal expression and a stairwell as the studio, and it's no longer just a song, it's an experience.
In every single language the word Hallelujah means "praise the Lord" referring to our great Creator who became our Saviour. "Oh that men would praise the Lord." Leonard Cohen was Jewish but I think he got it. He knew his Messiah had already come over 2000 years ago. I can't hear this song without crying. This is the best version I've ever heard.
Vektormusic honestly, I can't stop watching this, it's beyond beautiful. I would honestly like to known the name/be in touch with the artist, because the moment I have money to spare I would like it to contribute to this women getting time in a professional recording studio
Hey Russell, thank you for your kind words! If you're interested in supporting our music, we are on Patreon under the name Skeye, and we offer perks and behind-the-scenes extras for our Patrons too! Maybe we'll see you there :)
The simple is the invironment, the high quality the performance. This is what I call perfection! The 370 dislikers probably cant go up or down on the stairs in the house of the deaf's. Best regards from Hungary!
I'm pretty sure hearing this cover has saved my life. I don't mean that in a cheesy "omg, this is so great" way. Yes, it's amazing. Beautiful. Haunting. Amazing. But it's given me hope on so many different levels. Thanks for doing this. You've changed someones life.
This young lady sings with a voice of an Angel.I think perhaps shes been there voice,makes it so beautiful.I loved it.You two make a wonderful couple not to mention the talent.Angelic.
I come back and listen to this song every now and then; it's the best version of Hallelujah that has ever been sung. I only wish I could give her another thumbs up every time I visit...
Your cover is the BEST ever. Leonard Cohen for sure sits and cries in Heaven as he listens to this PERFECT guitar, sooo connected to your heavenly voice. Keep it up.
Omg. your high pitch literally makes me get goosebumps. I felt like I lost something and sincerely beg to be saved for god even though I don't have a religion. holy...awesome
This is the best cover of Leonard's "Hallelujah" that I have listened to. She is a wonderful talent; passionate & emotional. His guitar is excellent, as well. So many folks have covered this & most of them, to me, are tedious & dull.
You know when you hear something for the first time and it just amazes you......you play it again, watching their faves the emotion and you feel every note of the song, almost spiritually. I envy every person who has yet to hear this rendition for the first time and the awe they will feel. I love everything about this rendition......the awkward give and take of glances exchanged between them, that they are in a stairwell, her voice, him.
Best most organic version on TH-cam. Others have too much flash - completely desecrate the authenticity of one of the most beautiful songs ever composed. This is raw and real. Gorgeous.
I saw this version years ago and I had to find it again, young women are surely God's vessels here on earth,, this woman sings like the wind in the mountain pines,,,,,,
This is by far the best and my favorite version of this song. Beautiful emotional and soaring vocals with the perfectly-played guitar piece. Truly amazing performance.
Not many voices can pierce your soul. her voice Does.
Been coming back to this video every so often for 10+ years; it still just pauses my life for a few minutes of flawlessness.
Same
Me too
Same
Love is not a victory march, it's a cold and broken hallelujah ❤
I find myself coming back to this cover year after year. I'm so thankful this moment in time was captured. Thank you both.
That girl can sing PERIOD ❤
And he definitely can play
On youtube for 10 years now but still the best cover song I have ever heard.
That’s for real! 🙌🏼
She is fantastic, but Sound Of Silence by Disturbed is my favorite.
It isnt any more a ‘cover’ than Cohen’s
Not necessarily a “Cover”…i wrote this, not Cohen or his crew…
@@wlgj1341man I'm sorry for you.get help, that's really weird you understand how old the song is right???
Covers of this song are a dime a dozen and it's really tough to stand out with this one. However, this is a very special performance and there's an energy there that is pure. Gorgeous, guys. Really.
Ten Second Songs Look up Puddles Pity Partys version of the song its amazing.
well said

hmmm speechless
10 years later and in still captivated
This is the best cover you have never heard of…❤
Lindsey and John. I've listened now 4,000 times in past 4 years since my comment. I stand by my words below. Beautiful. I'm totally in Love.
If I said I watched it 50 times, I would be shorting the actual number. This is the best version of Hallelujah I have ever heard. That is saying a lot
I'm well over a couple hundred listens. Pure beauty.
This has been covered by way too many amateurs on TH-cam and I've probably waded through 200 of them. This is hands down the best one there will ever be. The adjective for that voice does not exist.
Ditto
Perfect
good, better, best.... BEST i have ever heard.... exquisite tone, pitch, phrasing and delivery... thank you for this joyful exprience
damn!!!!
I was thinking angelic, that's all I got
This is the best cover of Hallelujah I've ever found and I've searched for years. In my opinion this song hits the hardest when it's sung by a woman with a powerful voice like yours. Just brilliant ❤
It is heartfelt
I Agree!!!
I agree
You need to listen to the Small Town Titans version. It’s the best one ever.
Leann rides is best
what happened to these guys! no activity on their channel for 4 years?! what!
I, as many have said have revisited this many times over the years. But this time, it hits very different. My dear old mums funeral tomorrow. It's no tragedy, she was elderly and had had a good life. But to me very sad none the less. I'm gutted I don't get to hear her say hello my darling when I walk in anymore. 😢 Lovely cover beautifully done that really pulls on my heart strings. ❤
I wish I could fill your heart with joy just to repay you for the privilege of listening to this miracle. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, guys. Long days and pleasant nights.
I swear the 1 million views was all from just me, lol. I seriously come back to this video many times a week. Its calming, beautiful, and just nice to listen to. I also love how she throws her head back during the chorus ;) lol
Absolutely the best version I have ever heard
Half a million was me lol
God bless
me too... how can we own this album?
At least 50 of them are mine 😊
Same. I watch this all the time!!
This is my favorite version of any cover EVER. I come back to this at least once a month and I crank it wide open. Awesome job and I hope you're still making music somewhere.

You sir are class....class,class,class....if you love something set it free if it comes back to you it's yours forever, if it doesn't it never was
You are experiencing life. It is what all the love songs are about. Be strong, my friend. Love will come again.
this only means you know how to love someone....
The beauty of this woman's voice literally brought me to tears
Aaaah ... no autotune, no sequencers, no gimmicks.... what a relief from the normal stuff we’ve been fed on the radio!
I'm left almost speechless with tears in my eyes. It takes an incredible amount of talent and soul to impress me and you two, man, you two are absolutely amazing.
indeed - i'm thinking oh yeah another Hallelujah cover - then the shivers started and 4 mins or so in the eyes might have got a wee bit moist :-)
2020 and I still come back to this version everytime I want to hear this song. This has been my favorite for a long time now.
Incredible voice. I'm a fan of the original song by Leonard Cohen and many covers have been done and embarrassed the song. This is not one of those embarrassments. This is gorgeous.
Myst Ery 8
Cohens was a cover
@@wlgj1341- Huh?
Only the best ever cover, done with real feeling beautiful
Fantastic job. You hit every part without overdoing it. So many people make the mistake of throwing way too much at this song; changing or adding timing, tempos, harmonies, orchestras... all the extras blow the depth and breadth of what the song already is. You and Jeff Buckley are the only 2 artists who ever covered this song who gets that. Well done. Thank you.
203 Thumbs Down??? What, are people hitting the wrong button by mistake? This version is incredible. Big thumbs up! Thanks for sharing.
They are deaf.
Stephen Carpenteri ...and dumb.
And stupid
TH-cam does that ... algorithm?
Hit and run to the next thumbs down. They probably sleep well with that feeling of accomplishment for a days work.
I’m gonna keep coming back. forever a classic and my favorite version.
I'm glad this wonderful "stairwell to heaven" version of hallelujah is still getting positive regards . . .
This version blows me away every time I watch it. Thanks!
Heart touching I lost the love of my life going on 2 yrs...i miss him every minute..cant wait to join him Hallugheliah
prayers Mary. I hope you're doing well 🫶🏻
I lost my wife of 25years, coming up on two year mark. I love her and miss her still. My heart aches for her still. It will always. I am at peace with it despite the loss because I know she talks with the Angels and rests with Jesus. Can't wait to see her there.
Today i need to hear this song. It still stands as the best rendition i have ever heard. Leonard would be touched by it.
People are just talking about the girl... What about the guy?! Amazing talent... Wow! Well played
James Jaly couldn't agree more
Agreed! They are both amazing.
STUNNING DUET. Tears or you are dead inside
@James Baker who cares that you or anybody can do it, only thing that matters here is that he did it and it was amazing so please, l beg you not to ruin this comment
Thank you
I am a mid range player, he did nothing special, trust me, easy to be good with a voice like that.
never gets old. BEAUTIFUL
Never heard a more beautiful cover of this, I hope you are still making music, together or not, your voice is beautiful and Angelic
I've heard alot of people sing this song but this verson and this girl win hands down. Beautiful performance. I love that she is simple clear and neat in her singing. Others feel the need to throw their voices around and it just becomes annoying.
On the day of Leonard Cohen's death, I came back to my favorite cover of his song ever. I think you two have done it better than anyone ever......
Rob Fletcher agreed in my opinion !!!!
Extremely well said, thank you
Simply put, the voice of an angel! I've seriously listened to this so many times.
i have come back once again.... this performance still towers over anything else i've experienced.
The Most Dynamic, Beautiful, rendition of this Most Beautiful Song Ever Done...............
Hello hearing this actually made me cry a lot due to the memory of my grandpa that passed away this year from cancer and I sang this song for him when he was dieing and it Is the memories that hurt me the most so I am going to sing this song and hopefully I don't cry while I sing it

Just remarkable pure and full of heart and soul ❤
Best version of this classic by a country mile. Thanks.
This is my favorite version of Hallelujah. It gets better every time I hear it.
I've listened to 75 covers of this song. Yours is my favorite. Perfection.
Wow. Just wow. She can sing. Really sing. Beautiful. Loved every moment of this.
Oh my goodness this amazing girl still brings tears to my eyes even after so many views of this video. This is the perfect rendition of this song.
In my opinion, the is much very right about this version - in a stairwell with soaring vocals and that understated, crystal clear electric guitar. Thank you.
2021. Still the best rendition ever...

What can I say...WOW!!!!
Beautiful woman. Beautiful man. great player. Very rare quality to her voice. Great control. Beautiful song....girl....music. I'm in LOVE.
Exactly the control is immaculate!
I love this duo. So cute together, so angelic and I much appreciate her beautiful voice!
Criminally underrated channel. I get people to subscribe every chance I get. Keep it up, y’all!
I can’t believe. Even after more than 30 plays this has to be one of the most beautiful covers!! I wish this was famous!! All day
I still come back to this ❤️
The simple is the invironment, the high quality the performance. This is what I call perfection! The 370 dislikers probably cant go up or down on the stairs in the house of the deaf's. Best regards from Hungary!
are you kidding me , what a voice, and talented guitarist behind her. right before my bed time. thank you.
Stunning rendition
Best cover of this song ever, IMHO.
I listen to it quite a bit.
I'm pretty sure hearing this cover has saved my life. I don't mean that in a cheesy "omg, this is so great" way. Yes, it's amazing. Beautiful. Haunting. Amazing. But it's given me hope on so many different levels. Thanks for doing this. You've changed someones life.
Haunting was the exact description I was thinking in my head
AWESOME DUET.
absolutely amazing cover
Next to Jeff Buckley's, the best cover of this song I've heard, and there are many. Really captures the feeling.
wunderschön
Damn! That was beautiful. You can hear the broken soul in the background of the guitar and the singer.
You are right, there is a broken soul to be heard here
This young lady sings with a voice of an Angel.I think perhaps shes been there voice,makes it so beautiful.I loved it.You two make a wonderful couple not to mention the talent.Angelic.
Still the best cover!
Empty stairwells make great echo chambers . Beautiful voice and guitar!
I come back and listen to this song every now and then; it's the best version of Hallelujah that has ever been sung. I only wish I could give her another thumbs up every time I visit...
Though I'm an atheist I do enjoy the intensity of her voice. The human voice is the most profound interment that can touch the heart...
Your cover is the BEST ever. Leonard Cohen for sure sits and cries in Heaven as he listens to this PERFECT guitar, sooo connected to your heavenly voice. Keep it up.
Omg. your high pitch literally makes me get goosebumps. I felt like I lost something and sincerely beg to be saved for god even though I don't have a religion. holy...awesome
best version of this song
Still coming back to listen! Hope you are both doing well!😍
Still my favorite cover ever. Her voice is beautiful. They vibe together in perfect harmony.
10 years ! Nostalgia hit, still one of the best covers and this deserves a lot more views!
I've watched it probably 100 times. 😂I love them, best version ever.
This is the best cover of Leonard's "Hallelujah" that I have listened to. She is a wonderful talent; passionate & emotional. His guitar is excellent, as well.

Who is this Angel singing
You guys are inspirational...Best cover ever...with Cohen's passing it really strikes an emotional chord...Blessings for the future
BEAUTIFUL!
Wish more people know about this cover, its so special ❤
This is by far the best and my favorite version of this song. Beautiful emotional and soaring vocals with the perfectly-played guitar piece. Truly amazing performance.
