John Cale - Hallelujah

[GiuGabCas]

Still love the original by Leonard Cohen the best!!!!!

[GDS4VR]

todays date 9/3/11 TEN YEARS AGO THOSE COWARDLY BASTARDS HIT US. I'M SURE MR. CALE HATES THEM AS MUCH AS ANYONE, AMERICAN OR NOT. MAY ALL THOSE BASTARDS REST IN HELL.

[missadventure32]

how could anyone dislike this? this is my fave song!!

[shigehochosa]

I really doubt that John Cale is happy about this video since he is not American and

he is intelligent enough to be against what US doing to others.

[HippieJimi]

Now ya never show it to me do ya?....

[philos1973]

I prefer KD Lang's version. Less piano more voice.

[stinkie2]

There are a lot of covers of this song and all sounds even. This one not. That's why this is the best version (for me).

[Johnnystrychnine]

Once one has lots of falls in life one starts to believe in a divine being because mortal man has failed any expectations one has of salvation, faith or hope.

John Cale is brilliant, so too is Leonard Cohen.

[YnotAskYourself]

When we lift the lowliest person on this planet to the highest standard with compassion and praise we shall all be in hallelujah!

In Christ , I am! Amen

Peace

This song alway smakes me cry. Seeing this video just made me cry even more. My brother was a firefighter who lost his life in the twin towers. I honestly don't care if he's Welsh or if this song has nothing to do with those events, it's just inspiring, moving in a way that not many songs can do.

[KeyboardPacifist]

@kalanaph

I feel very sorry for your loss.

I just lost my father 11 days ago. He was a vietnam veteran. We were very very close.

I think that the video maker wants to illustrate that the Creator was there to comfort us on the mess that WE humans made on 9-11.

That the vid comes off as hyper-patriotism is understandably a bit revolting since it is the vacuum of sound thought after 9-11 that created so much more violence and so many more brothers were lost due to such foolishness

[Whoa123ify]

I love this song :)

[kico12je]

I always start shaking when I hear this song...:)

[HippieJimi]

This Video is deep.... very deep....

Very deep indeed....

[DeaJaye]

Thanks for the post, best version. Lower BPM makes it more emotional, he really grinds it out.

[SgtGShepherd]

This was in a Scrubs episode once. Where each dr. had a diff patient and each one died simultaneously as this song played in the background. I work in medicine and that scene and this song always bring a small tear to my eye.

[roundedhalo]

i'm a guy and this almost made me cry. bless the hearts of the ones who died on 9/11.

[sonofsilence]

this is by far trhe best version. Even's better than Buckley's. I don't know about the video though. What has America got to do with it. Especially when he's Welsh.

[CainTheMain]

@sonofsilence Point, but I'm sure the video is for the song itself, not the singer. Righteousness knows no nationality when all are under one kingdom.

[sonofsilence]

@CainTheMain considering the song has a leniency toward being about bondage as Leonard Cohen intended then it's hardly about righteousness. Don't be fooled by the chorus.

[CainTheMain]

@sonofsilence Then awesomeness knows no nationality.

[tezhed]

I am the least religous person of all and was moved by the images reflected in this video......Peace to all

[cac1123]

I love this song

[megzmeg10]

I'm not really religious in any way, but was truly moved by this video- brought me to tears! I love this song and I think the images really show a contrast between the beauty and the suffering that exist in the world...

I also love Jeff Buckley's version. The video is a great tribute to a man with an amazing voice.

[liliraindrops]

@megzmeg10 despite the title, this song isn't really a particularly religious song. just listen to the lyrics. but yes, it's a beautiful, moving song

[frankleroy1]

my godfathers dad is about to die so this song made me cry even more

[ArgFilms]
