Hallelujah Leonard Cohen Jeff Buckley: Jimmy and Bastiaan

[TheOwl54]

Hi Jimmy,

I really adore Leonard Cohen and I love his songs.

Your cover of "Hallelujah" is a very beautiful one ! Thanks for this great video and thanks to Bastiaan, who is a fantastic guitar player !

Happy New Year to you both !

Heartfelt greetings, Ute.

[MrSirRYK]

SO GRAET!!!!! keep going!!!

[tonyborbony]

I have a tremendous amount of respect for you guys. Putting this much effort into a cover. I found you guys through your Stairway to Heaven cover. And this one is just as good as that one! Great job guys! 

[fireblasternl]

it almost made me cry..

[CrattleCrie2]

You are quite good, i would love to do a little mash up with you someday, to a cover song (i play drums). You should start putting your videos together similar to Stair way to heaven video, i commented on that, it was very good. Keep it up man. :)

Great song, and great singing :)

[tobiaspp90]

you guys never stops astonishin' me, your work is always awesome! I really want to learn how to record something as good as this!

[zakex1]

good men

[iWantMyMamaRS]

This is just... wow! You put yuor soul into this song and the outcome is just perfect! I could listen to this all day <3. Love from Holland =)

[soundofgeek]

Also, this recording shows aspects of your voice that I didn't know about. My respect for you as a singer just went up.

[jgelhaar]

@soundofgeek Thanks for the awesome comments! Not many people see this video anymore... Glad you took the time to listen and enjoy. :)

[soundofgeek]

I've loved this song ever since I discovered Jeff Buckley's cover, quite a few years back. I've listened to lots of versions, even done my own (neat harmonisation but poor sound engineering), and these days I'm pretty picky about what "Hallelujah" versions I like.

This version is quite different from what I'm used to, and honestly I nearly didn't listen all the way through. I'm glad I did, though - got used to the style, and now I think it's brilliant. You've made it your own and made it work.

[rick140664]

Interpretação brilhante, perfeita, melhor que o original. Parabéns Jimmy and Bastiaan, vocês são gênios. Congratulations!!!

[Nitnit009]

perfect voice. great choice of song. i cant get it off repeat. :}

[Luukablee]

one word:

AMAZING

[melaniethemiss]

Wow, Love this!

When a man sings the halleluja it is more "real".

Like that you're voice is soft and clean.

It's makes a great cover for the "ruff" version of cohen.

(Can't say witch of the two is better, they are not alike.)

[neteraser]

Good guys! =))) I like it

[Whatsluck1]

when i first heard this song and remembered, that you never met (or have you met now?), i got a shiver.

you're great!

(I'm sorry for bad english...)

[lana1WI]

I liked this when you guys first put it out...and like it even BETTER each time I listen to it!!!!

[shaunlawler]

Awesome!

[nlmcp]

Love the song. Hate what you did with your beard, like it much better on Stairway

[Thoken91]

Hi, I just wonedered if I could download or buy your version from somewhere? :P

I think people often push this song to hard, it kind of ruins it... Like how you managed to keep it soft and easy :)

[jgelhaar]

[Cyndy621]

Oh you guys - this is so beautiful!!! You definitely have a bond that is not bound by proximity of space. I love this song and your version is amazing! I almost thought Bastiaan and you were going to meet up at the end of the video! Soon, I hope! We'll be making the trek from Springs to Denver to see you in person Jimmy! And, someday to see both of you playing together!!

[devers6]

This has become my favorite version of the song as well. I love how the internet inspires and facilitates collaborations such as this.

Thank you also for making your music available through Creative Commons. My son and I are both amateur videographers. It is wonderful to have a source of great music to attach to non-commercial works like YouTube videos without worrying about takedown notices. And your commercial licensing fees are completely reasonable. I hope you get great exposure.

[crappydewd]

Great video and cover, again! Great sounds of all instruments and a voice that completes the emotion covered in the song. Have you guys actually been meeting?

[Speakieable]

wonderful

[metempiricify]

lovely, guys.... good job once again!

[oldsurfer46]

Another GREAT song! Thanks for sharing it with us here on YouTube. I've sent links to all my Facebook peeps.

[kcmoviemkr]

In typical form guys....exceptional.

[liz1312]

Brilliant version, and a story-line to keep us hooked! I wonder, have you met each other yet????

[saorisan1410]

Great job!!!!

[sexysaddleworth]

Excellent and powerful

[sexysaddleworth]

These are fantastic demonstrations of how music unites across the miles.Loved Hotel Calafornia and this is equally powerfull

[jbjcjb]

Fantastic, you two are amazing, love it. Well done. X

[cogermax91]

very beautiful !bravo !love !*****

[Mariekesone]

Geweldig..Brilliant!..:-)

I have loved all of your collabs here on you tube

[soundofgeek]

To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of this recording - I have fairly specific ideas about how I like this song to be, and they don't match your ideas (notably in the rhythms).

On the other hand, this still deserves (and gets) five stars from me - you've taken your ideas and executed them brilliantly. Kudos.

[dutchy09]

You guys are amazing. The music that you guys make sounds professional...I'm sure that if you guys keeping doing this you will end up landing yourself a record deal.

[0CityLights0]

Very nice!

[nemajkd]

Simply beautiful

[TbayMomof4girls]

It is truly remarkable that you can create such an awesome video performance living so far apart. It is a testament to your talent, skill and perfectionism.

Awesome video once again!

[leejrr]

Hello, very long time since i have had the chance to listen to all your music you both have done here, and STILL soooo overwelmed over it all. If the end of this video is a look at whats to come, THEN I AM ON THE EDGE OF MY CHAIR WAITING. The world needs to know about what two people can do together even tho your miles apart. I will KEEP hoping and watching. Thanks for making life a little bit more enjoyable.

[monicaorange]

Again fantastic!!!!

Am a great fan of you 2

All the ** from A"dam

Grtnz  Joop.

[Jayenwoods]

Excellent cover guys, 5 stars, faved and posted to my facebook page ;)

[phorevergr8ful]

Very nice! The acoustic guitar & piano were soothing producing a very clean sound and can I even say "pretty"?

I commend all involved for breaking the barriers of distance, being miles and continents apart is an added challenge you've all clearly overcome.

[matthewmartin0710]

wow....thanks for sharing your gifts

[LokCham]

is this a christian song?

[GOprinceofmacedon]

no its not a christian song :)

[jgelhaar]

@LokCham No, it's not. I know it might seem that way with the lyrics... English is a difficult language and is made ever more difficult for someone (like you) that speaks native Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese. I don't even know how you do it in the first place!

Thanks for commenting Lok!

[LokCham]

XD I was kind of kidding ~~ haha~ thanks for ur compliment : ) Jimmy~stupid as it sounds, I do it by listening to you guys wakaka

[lloydhofer]

Shared as requested. Would have anyway cuz you guys are way too good to not tell the world. Thank you for another masterpiece of music for my eyes, ears and soul.

[DinaThompson]

In addition to the music being wonderful, the video was beautiful! I enjoy your videos so much Jimmy and Bastiaan!!

[princesse228]

Beautiful! Yéééé! ****

[sloopy312]

What smoothness with a wonderful theme. Thank you!

[bbhilda]

I like this very much.  You are two very talented fellows. Just think what you could achieve if you ever get together!

[rharm49]

Your music touches the soul like few songs do!

[namtkn]

[mathhew14]

sucks that your hotel california cover was taken down :(

GREAT JOB GUYS!!!!

[berganirwin]

So absolutely beautiful!!! Thank you!!!

[Nerissa2485]

[BrilliantEssence]

We love putting on Jimmy G's music on the Brilliant Essence radio shows. He's a fabulous guest to have on! Thanks Jimmy for being such an inspiration, and we hope to meet Bastiaan soon!

[whendt]

This was GREAT Jimmy. I have always loved your music. Even though you didn't write this you did a great job sing and playing it. Bastiaan is a great guitar payer too. Anyway thanks for sharing.
