John Cale - Hallelujah with lyrics

[TheSpydra]

[punkrockgirl181]

Yupp i knew it was final fantasy :D

[khvostikdmitriev]

Salut Patrice ....

[KRissieNo1]

Can I upload this

[StewieSinatra]

16 people are heartless

[dudeitotallyrock2]

@MrDogoman.

I have only one thing to say to you. You are a fucking douche. Have a lovely day asshole.

[zermini12]

this video is bad ass!

[MrDogoman]

fawk proof that a kid should keep his dick in his pants ......... (if u shollow the bible shit ) eve took adam down ........ cleopatra ......screwed caesar , and then his over seer ....... bitches have it all to take you down with the TNA .........lol (if you are stupid enough to believe the lies they tell you will layin in your bed ....... :P

[Sinceresins]

@MrDogoman You gotta roll with punches, big fella.. or you, being who you are, can hang with a bunch of dudes.. I love chicks way too much to agree with you.. but I'm gonna let you in on a little secret; your 3 boyfriends will probably screw you over too one one day, and not in the way you'd like.. chicks might do the same, but the pussy's worth it..

[MissJustiz]

At 3:13 Is that how it ends for them!? is soooo...... thats sad....

[calder47]

He should have stuck to Blitzball instead of chasing girls.

See where these flying fancies get you? SEE???

[aric797]

It's about forbidden love, and the consequences. The king who wrote psalms and was punished for his affair with a married woman.

[brightsocks1997]

I loved it. the most beautiful song ever. :)

[smoulinka6699]

nádherná pesnička dokázala by som ju počúvať celý deň..:))

[YouKnowMeImJosh]

It's funny. My girlfriend...ex-girlfriend...s­oulmate...love of my life...whatever she is...likes this song. The ironic part is that it perfectly describes the complex pain of our relationship. :c

[philip9125]

Best SONG EVER SO beautiful

[smulipuli]

I love this song!! I wanna cry!!

[ekkru]

Guyzz...can someone explain to me wat the song implies....Not the meaning of words...bt u knw that subtle msg in the song...Wat the lyrics implies...the broader meaning of the lines...Thanksss

And..ohh...17 morons missed the like sign...hw can anyone dislike THIS song...!!!

[Namine119]

this song makes me wanna cry

[Mantoros123]

Nice : ]

[zerostanderds]

@neoperseus Fucking close minded retard

good vid :)

[Svartrandig]

@neoperseus It's a game, and if you don't like it you can just not watch it. Is that so hard for you?

But yeah, it's really harsh for me to know that someone on the internet doesn't like me. I'm gonna go cry in a corner and cut myself now because of you.

You, my friend, are the one who's being childish.

[ASHTONjennings]

@neoperseus i agree the anime does ruin the song alot

[charly18ish]

@neoperseus Würdest du Final Fantasy kennen, wüsstest du,dass es viel mehr als nur ein Video-spiel ist ... das Video passt super zum Lied und wenns dir nicht gefällt dann mach doch ein Video das zu EURER musik passt...

[dlilgeneral]

@feedmybabyturtles do you even realize that what is being shown does not represent the song. Look at all the sadness in this song. "There was a time you let me know/what was going on below/ but now you never show it to me/do you?"

If you started with Yuna remembering Tidus, you might be close.  The song has a lot of pain in it and neopersius is right. It's a very shallow interpretation. You are focusing only on the prettiness of the song.

[ttirrem89]

A beaurtiful song, yet the video is absolutley retarded. I dont think john cale was trying to convey a closet homosexual romancing a homely japanese chick.

[LyndaHudson]

16 people don't care for music, do they ;)

[mschwenk2010]

this is THE BEST EVER

[limbutej]

fantastic song

[charly18ish]

Die Kombination aus Video und Musik bringt einen wirklich zum weinen...

[joeboohoo]

very nice choice of video to go with this song :)

[ummidrigrob]

Thats!! ABSOLUTLY! The best version of "Hallelujah"

[xxbotdfcrazymusicxx7]

this is my favorite version of this song

[HATTBEE]

Halleluu-uu-uu-uu-uu-uu-jaah..­.

[jorgesimoespt]

inspiring

[Treggorz]

where did you get this version

[blazinko]

yeah thats true thats a one of the best versions but this song was wroten by leonardo cohen :))

[Treggorz]

wait... is she dead at 3:40?

[RitaPortugirl]

what a great voice...

[Chunkie1986]

Für mich immer noch das "beste Depri-Lied" das es gibt ...

[2010Knight2010]

great version of this song

[MrGynikologe]

Good song but bad Video

[montsehv]

she from your lips drew you hallelujah

[HyperShadic100]

When is the scean with them being shot by the WM?

[HyperShadic100]

When is the cutscean where they are being chased by wm?

[mhw1986]

great song. I personally enjoy the Jeff Buckley version more; check it out if you've never heard it. And the Rufus Wainwright version for a little more tempo : )

[666xBleedWellx666]

Love this song. My boyfriend played this on his guitar and sang it for me yesterday. It was beautiful. Made me want to cry. His voice is just amazing, and he sang it with so much emotion! I haven't been able to get it out of my head since! x-x-x

[biibiich07]

@666xBleedWellx666 You're lucky !!

[Bravura2102]

@biibiich07 I really am. Heehee! He has an amazing voice. Thing is, I love watching him sing it, because he has so much emotion on his face when he sings. I'll never get tired of listening to him sing, especially this song. ^_^ x-x-x

(sorry, this is actually 666xBleedWellx666, but that account was being strange and wouldn't work, so I had to start a new one, in case you were confused. LOLZ!)

[ateklsynergy]

Dear Friend:

Thank a lot for upload the video with lyrics. It is a sad song, I like it. It make me cry each time I heard. Congratulations!

[Bradal4ck]

I'm not the emo mushy type kinda guy but this song and video makes me that waymakes me think about my girlfreind.

[Xander1366]

Beautiful song.

[habssuck2009]

@JahFenix7 Funny how you try to use my comments and dummy it up.So my dad told you to say to me from hell. Wow then you must be closer to hell than I thought. Fuckin dumb nigger you cant even make an intellegent insult .Teach your son the way a good slave should. When you reach hell tell you cunt mom to stop sucking cock dirty bitch nigger. HALLELUJA.

[kaptaincorsa]

wonderfull song ... wonderfull gamesstory ... just epic

[HoneyBlondeChica97]

learning this on the piano...hope it can match half the beauty of this version

[horse99009]

this is one of my favourite songs and this is the best version in my opinion and final fantasy x was an amazing game!

[GuyWithoutEyes]

[pawnofdeath7]

[GuyWithoutEyes]

hows does this sound? watch?v=w63YiKbL5oI

[thu12nv2012]

@GuyWithoutEyes Sounds pretty good, nice job

[ohmydinosare]

One of the best versions of this song (Iprefer the rufus wainwright version, but they're basically the same)

[FFXASFAN1]

I have been looking for a vid like this for about a few months; now I found it. An achievement. LOve the video, the game, the song,

[SkrelosDaMage]

Well, in all honesty, the only person who really knows what the song itself means is Leonard Cohen. Apart from that, it does reference Samson and Delilah, (she tied you to a kitchen chair, ----, she cut your hair), as well as David and Bethsheba, "you saw her bathing on the roof,---, and her beauty overthrew you"

[GoMessengerFish]

I dont get this song. What does it mean?

[Kailjiin]

its quite sadistic really....

[wolfcub4alphawolf]

This is such a lovely song. Beautifully haunting.

[etcome]

Why do you people think this is sexist?

[randy01430]

go to k d lang singing it

[Midgetelf0585]

So many versions of the song out there, but this is by far the best. It's so pretty.

[yrogerg123]

I love this song. I really do. Sad and haunting, but to me, the most uplifting song I've ever heard at the same time. Just so powerful, it can really take you over completely if you allow it to.

[bmwd40]

Very haunting, but such beatiful words. It's the one of the most sexiest songs I've heard, yet it doesn't come right out and say it, or through it in your face, it shows compasion. It's almost word taken - trying to come up with the right words to describe the song almost seems meaningless when compared to the song itself.

[zumibutton]

fave version!

[WastedMartyrdom]

This song makes me think of my girlfriend and how much I love her. So far has been the happiest year of my life, the only thing really keeping me going...

[shanemartin688]

just...beautiful

[McMozart]

скажите пожалуста а что за мультик? видео супер

[Yahoo181818]

ne znajy )))

[sousa09rhs]

Hey i love this song. If any one has the MP3 for this song cn you ssend it to me PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!

[HermioneNo1]

I like this piano version!!!:-)

[WhiteFlower1981]

LOVE IT!!! :D

[youarc321]

This is truly an amazing song.... I wish I had a true relationship, but alas that is a rather true line in the song "Love is not a victory march, its a cold and its a broken hallelujah". Absolutely amazing video though, 5/5

[charmeddada]

OMG tears just came out....this is so nice....I want someone to love me like here in this video....

[Svartrandig]

Uhm. No. xD

This is John Cale's version, and I've written all the lyrics in the verses he sings.

[jeremyhodgins12]

heard this song first in shrek then on a tv show without a trace..give you chills cale sings it wonderfully

[JazzyMilo96]

awesome song (: and whats that font at the start with the stars?...

[eightdaysaweek111]

givess me chills.

[Abbatar01]

super , tare bun cintec john cale rules

[tiredoldcrow]

someone please tell me who wrote this song. seems that alot of people do a good job of singing but all seem to take the credit for it and it is a beautiful song is it not

[Corallis]

Leonard Cohen, the famous Canadian singer/songwriter/lyricist/poe­t.

[elarbol04]

Well the music was written by canadian songwriter Leonard Cohen, as well as some of the lyrics. Many artists have covered it, and some have added lyrics and modified Cohen's. So I couldn't tell you who wrote each verse.

Cheers

[scorch237]

Leonard Cohen wrote it. Can't sing it worth shit though...lol

[laurilima2]

leonard cohen. you would be surprised how many songs of him you know and you didn't even know it.

[laurilima2]

this version was sung by leonard cohen live. Cale loved it and asked him for the lirics he sung at that moment, and that's his cover

[mebekatie]

this was in shrek!

[grimTales1]

A lovely song and what a beautifully edited video. It makes me want to play Final Fantasy even though I'm not good with RPGs!

[EvSevyGirl]

this song is the bomb

[blaszlob13]

This is one of my favorite songs. Olyan gyönyörű és igaz.

[NariofNowhere]

god this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. beautifully edited video, too.

[TheReyMisteryo]

Bro this is the Best video! Awsome!

Congratulation!!!

[LostSinger22]

im still trying to find a better version that jeff buckleys...but its imposible..

jeff no one compares to u or your voice...

[CypereZe]

This version is awesome aswell!

[vigil12348]

Except John Cale.

[JingTheKingOfBandits]

This song sounds a lot better when you're watching Shrek. Shrek is such an awesome movie.

[TMJRange]

nice vid

and f*ck Lisa from the netherlands and here version! John Cale =Tha best!!!

[Brianna32571]

I think you did an amazing vid with this song. Very touching. And NOT at all teenybopperish!

[weiskircher3]

hey man i love this video a very deep song with great lyrics and the FFX reference is awesome

[CPeyser08]

Is this video from kingdom hearts?

[darkmetallord666]

It's from Final Fantasy X ;9

[CPeyser08]

Haha, yes it is indeed. Thank you very much.

[DDSJJR]

beautiful

[twisted21bassist]

Beautfiul

[Finyki]

Oooh.....im crying while listening this ;<

[chrissaiik]

good song and ffx is great

[loveseptemberrr]

BEAUTIFUL,beautiful,beautiful

[punkybruster429]

Best combination

[Kailjiin]

this makes me cry almost ff is awesome

[Kailjiin]

[Kailjiin]

BEAUTIFUL IN ALL ASPECTS

[loveflygirl]

ilovethisson!(ll')<33!

[thehuffy]

amazing song and thanks for those lyrics

the video is brilliant and well edited (y)

[craazhy]

If you knew my opinions on religion, which I won't reveal in a public manner because I'm not an ass, you would be surprised to know that I love this song. Perhaps it's about religion, but the classy demeanor and the sense it gives to us, the sad and brokenhearted sense, is something that all sentient beings period can respect.

[dbnyke99]

Very well said, almost precisely what I was thinking before I read your comment.

[SingingAddicted]

yeah, i thought the exact same thing

[daviewave]

At 3:11 do they get shot and die?

[Goobster1920]

Yeah, have you played the game?

[daviewave]

No actually i haven't

[Goobster1920]

Oh. You played the first one?

[daviewave]

The only one i ever played was the Final Fantasy Tactics for Playstation 1, and final fantasy tactics advanced for Game Boy advanced... now the story line is far from the old ones i can't be interested in it

[Goobster1920]

Well, I won't say anything.

[automatonxtinct]

FFX and X-2 are the only ones where the storyline has even the slightest thing to do with one another. 1 through 9 are all completely seperate worlds and plotlines.

[ZerveDA]

Thats the point of "2". It is the only true sequel of the entire series. A kinda lame one at that...

[automatonxtinct]

Yeah, very teenybopperish... ;/

[VELOUMA71]

Merci de nous avoir fait partager cette vidéo. J'aime beaucoup l'interprétation qu'en fait John.

Une de mes vidéos favorites.

Thank have made us share this video. I like very much the performance that in fact John.

One of my favourite videos. :-)

[codemaster232]

This is a great song and one of the best games ever created. So good job combining them.

[Serphentorch]

this song is awesome, i cry almost everytime i see it ! (not in a bad way)

[kidcalabria]

John Cale is, without a doubt, a genius. He played in the BBC symphonic orchestra aged 9, worked with 'serious' composers like Cage, produced classic albums by Nico, The Stooges, The Modern Lovers, Patti Smith, founded The Velvet Underground, & made classics as a solo artist... & there's never any pretentiousness in what he does. This is a fantastic song, covered by many, but nobody did it as good as Cale... I think you've done a great service to humanity by posting this with the lyrics. Thanks

[mattherbarnes]

i don't know when i first heard this song but i have always loved hearing it. brings back bad memorys

[bszigat]

He says: "I wanted to write something in the tradition of the hallelujah choruses but from a different point of view... It's the notion that there is no perfection ~ that this is a broken world and we live with broken hearts and broken lives but still that is no alibi for anything. On the contrary, you have to stand up and say hallelujah under those circumstances."

[eateroftheflame]

None of the cover versions seem to share the lyrics with the original Leonard Cohen version, so really they're cover versions of this one.

[Loikaemie1337]

wonderful.

[therobeffect94]

john cales rulz man

[thisnamehasntbeenuse]

everytime i hear this song i think of the girl i like, amazing song

[Daniw79]

well, halleluja, yes. This song in its original version had really something to do with religion, but Leonard Cohan changed the lyrics a little bit. Its all about his relationship to a girlfriend. He was frustrated b/c she wasn't that "open" anymore after awhile. Funny I think. It's everything, but not holy...

[Whatchagonado]

Leonard Cohen wrote this song. There is no other original. There are many other songs of praise that incorporate Hallelujah in their titles or lyrics, but Leonard Cohen's song is an original, and most definitely does have a great deal to do with religion and the old testament in particular. Reading this song as a just a frustrated love song misses the point of the song entirely.

[jonniemango]

praise the lord

[Derdeynd]

Hallelujah.

[6Randall]

These are amazing lyrics.

Really heart warming...Leonard Cohen or something wrote this song it think..And john cale sings it. Cause leonard has a horrid voice but amazing songs.

[Corallis]

Leonard's not too bad if it's not a vocally demanding piece. a good example is Suzanne.
