Shrek Soundtrack 10. Rufus Wainwright - Hallelujah

[xxamiisaurusxx]

No. Jeff Buckley forever and always. 

[edward6242]

This is one is my favorite song out of the whole soundtrack

[SignLanguageFreak123]

I'm guessing 7 people can't respect great music when they hear it....

[serenoso1]

mucha cancion

[WeAreTheFishes]

Shrek 1: Amazing

Shrek 2: Amazing

Shrek 3: Didn't see

Shrek 4: Didn't see

Puss in Boots: Amazing

[BlackPhoenix00280]

Shrek 1: amazing

I deny the existence of sequels :P

[PegasoltaEclair]

You make no sense IMO.

[BlackPhoenix00280]

@PegasoltaEclair It doesn't seem like a difficult thing to understand:

I have seen Shrek 1, I liked it.

I have also seen the sequels. I did not like them. Sequels often are not any good in comparison with original, in my opinion.

Thus, I pretend- in my own little head-world- that they do not exist.

Comprende?

[PegasoltaEclair]

Just don't deny their existence if they do exist. You may not like them - that's your opinion.

[BlackPhoenix00280]

@PegasoltaEclair Apparently, the explanation must be extended further. The original comment was meant as a JOKE.

[PegasoltaEclair]

No, it wasn't...?

[BlackPhoenix00280]

@PegasoltaEclair I think I would know what it was and wasn't meant to be, considering I wrote the thing.

[PegasoltaEclair]

A bad joke then...considering that I agree with many who think that Shrek is an amazing tetralogy, like Wagner's Ring-cycle.

[Akyura44]

How could 7 people dislike this? o.O

[Akyura44]

Nah, in my opinion, Shrek, Shrek 2 and Shrek 4 were really good, but Shrek 3 sucks. :P

[azbayzia]

Funny how John Cale sang it in the movie, but the soundtrack lists Rufus Wainwright as the musician.

[140034]

this song makes me sad D:

[ashleyrawrzpuppies]

this song makes me cry like all the time lol im so emotional

[Reachracer777]

Shrek 1:The best

Shrek 2:Good

Shrek 3:Poop

Shrek 4:Great

[pikachu10009]

Shrek 1 will always be my favorite shrek film! ecause its the movie that made all the other sequels possible! Shrek 2 was a great film too! Shrek the third was ok, but wasnt the best film! Shrek forever after was a great ending that improved the films!

[FrankIeroForever]

I didnt even see Shrek 4 and I dont even know why.

[Shadrulez]

I like all versions of this song, nobody gets this wrong, but they should have used Jeff Buckley's version. :D

[ryanclemons1]

i love this song even if i think a lot of Bible storys are BS.ps not trying to hate.

[cinderpelt4eva]

@ryanclemons1 Agreed

[bluerum03X]

5 people have no heart and soul

[700718756]

@RootBeerGirl151 I knew it was a Bible story, but I was pretty sure it was Sampson, not David. "Tied to kitchen chair, cut your hair"?

[AngelHael]

@700718756 Neither is technically correct. The song does not tell the solid story of either, but references the tales of Samson and Delilah ("she tied you to a kitchen chair / she broke your throne, she cut your hair"), and King David and Bathsheba ("you saw her bathing on the roof / her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you"), as well as other Bible verses.

[RootBeerGirl151]

The most randome thing: This is a Bible story. I didn't know that. :O

Tommorow I take a history test about that story with David and Bashiba(?)

And it just so happened to be what this song is about. I was listening to it then realized that

[GreybirdX]

its a really good song but thats not the guy who sings the song in the movie -.-

[ilovJohnnyDepp]

@GreybirdX yes it is ...

[AngelHael]

@GreybirdX Nope, the version in the actual film is John Cale's version.

[aeroneonful]

Great Song. Almost makes me cry O_O

[MsHeartMaddie]

I really liked Shrek. The others were just... okay. After four movies Dreamworks lost it's touch on Shrek movies. :( I remember dancing to this song when I was seven or eight :)

[wtw1491]

this song makes me cry after they played t at my great grandmas service i love you grandma

[penske13]

@wtw1491 incredibly sweet. :) much love grandma.

[queevideitosehh]

I love this song, in my school we are going to make the musical of Shrek, and I sing this song :)

PS: I'm the dragon :D

[Roseonwheels420]

@queevideitosehh Good Luck, that sounds awesome. I hope all goes terrific for you. Roseonwheels420

[queevideitosehh]

@Roseonwheels420 THANK SO MUCH :)

[01elouise]

Beautiful song! i love it! <3

[IwuvGaarayayz]

Respond to this video cus its awesome

[fillysunray]

Unlike nearly everyone else, I loved EVERY one of the Shrek movies. I guess I'm the type of fan who just wants more of the story, and doesn't get hung up on semantics.

[616ShadowFox]

tbh i prefer this version to Leonard's and Jeff's

[hardcoremillionaire]

:)

[TheEdwardcullenfan14]

all the movies in my opinion are amazing :)

Shrek FTW! <3

[Demonsword92]

apparantley mike myers played fiona, eddie murphy played shrek and cameron diaz played donkey lol

[babyBsBJb15]

i love this song ♥

[xxbotdfcrazymusicxx7]

umm. i thought the shrek version was John Cale..

[NewZealandBlackAngel]

I still have the DVDs and the CD from Shrek and I loved it, still do, but this song always makes me cry watching shrek and fiona fall out, even the 3rd film makes me cry watchin him 'die' i love shrek <3

[Horseloverkooder]

@NewZealandBlackAngel we have the videos toe the 1st and the 2nd and its soo cool

[MrHova33]

close ur eyes now dont u feel free.i love this song

[TomKennyIsLovely]

I used to have this CD when I was 11 and it was so charming. I used to listen to it every night before I went to bed. This song was my favourite.

[epresjoghurtosmilka]

the one of the most wonderful songs in the world:)

[K1ller30]

Too fast, definitely.  It loses the soul. Listen to Jeff Buckley's

[abilucyrose]

It's too fast :'(

Jeff Buckley and Leonard Cohen's version's are better, sorry.

[bea27997]

3 people are very unsesitive.

[dutchdevil96]

brings old back, good memories instead of the shit now..

[proximityeffect1]

hated it when that stupid xfactor talentless bitch ruined this.

[fulatl111]

@proximityeffect1 u can hardly call her talentless, shes got a great voice, shes just been sucked into the souless world of modern pop music

[MrSelvykins]

@proximityeffect1 Who sang it? :o

[proximityeffect1]

@MrSelvykins you mean who ruined it :D it was alexandra burke winner of shitfactor

[Guitaralex412]

this song makes you relize you have a heart and it is strong. 

[2000sDigitalBoy]

Also, Shrek 1 is one of my favorite animated movies. Original, clever, deep, and emotional. Sequels didn't live up to my expectations though; I found them to be pretty generic and a bit shallow.

[oObubbleysOo]

Although the Leonard Cohen version is the best I have ever heard in my life, like awe-inspiring, tears-in-your-eyes, shiver-inducing awe-some this version is actually really, really good.

[007roper]

good song

[early1900s]

Is this the lyrics that are in the actual movie? I dont think it is!

[2000sDigitalBoy]

@early1900s

The movie uses an abridged version of the song. All the lyrics for the movie are drawn from the actual lyrics, but only some of them are used. If I remember correctly, the first and third verses are used... Maybe the fifth. I'm pretty sure the second and fourth verses are excluded.

[DualFrodo]

why does everyone hate shrek 4?

[eduardo007hola]

@DualFrodo I loved it!

[MrInigo1995]

@DualFrodo

I'm Lovin' That Film!!!

[iarodify]

beautiful.

[Water3Monkey]

It's not a cry you can hear at night, its not somebody you see in the light. - My fav line. I don't know why, I like the way he sings it. So beautiful.

[Yettihugs]

I have chills singing it

Thats how amazing it is

[Storm3Ryder]

It's been a long time since I heard this song....I don't remember what age I was, but looking over the lyrics to this song I realize its LOADED with biblical references.

[grudteam]

shrek 1: amazing

shrek 2: awesome

shrek 3: meh

shrek 4: ew

[0AmyRose0]

@grudteam yes, the 4 movie is.....crap xD I don`t like shrek 4

[shikamarusohma]

@grudteam I don't care...

[IwuvGaarayayz]

@grudteam REALLLY? stop ciritsizing shrek -_-

[IwuvGaarayayz]

Respond to this video...  .

[MeninaZezita]

@grudteam change the 3 to ewwwwwwww and the 4 to acceptable

[DefyGravity464]

@grudteam Ugh, 4 was the worst.

[syikoticgal30]

@grudteam Why ew?? :O

[Lillyn95]

@grudteam totally agree with you

[TheAGKMisadventures]

@grudteam

shrek 1: amazing

shrek 2: amazing

shrek 3: amazing

shrek 4: amazing

[YoFreakyMother]

@TheAGKMisadventures Awesome! I'm not the only one that thinks so!

[TaylorTyphoid]

[fendalesmejia]

[fendalesmejia]

[4lcon143]

Aleluya Aleluya (8)

[Deladyth]

yeah dreamworks always picks great songs

[justsomedude9593]

what is a hallelujah anyway?

[RaaaaaaaaaM]

@justsomedude9593 from what i know, its praise god "jah" taken from "Jahweh" which is good in Judaism... or just in hebrew

[lokilager]

@RaaaaaaaaaM - Hallelujah could rightly be translated "Praise Yahweh", or "Praise Jehovah" (signified by Jah) and yes it's Hebrew, good call. Cheers

[RaaaaaaaaaM]

@justsomedude9593 god*

[AlabikSnowLeopard]

I always feel happy when I sing this, it helps me relieve my stress for some reason ^_^

[MrsBiggHeadd]

[NaraCrys1]

idc if u give a thumbs down on this comment but i actually like the soundtracks better then the movie

[BigDealStudios]

Definetely a song worth crying for...

[bookworm266]

If I could have him on lead vocals version with Katherine Jenkins' backing singers, it would be perfect.

[tbonin0328]

I believe this version omits the two original last verses and replaces it with a completely different last verse than any found in the original. I like the original last verses better.

[HolandaChiquita]

this version is beatiful!!!!!!!!!!

but the version from Nilsen, Lind, Fuentes and Holm is better!

[manenrae]

my favorite slow song ever ;)

[Hollyslide]

I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!!!!!!!!

[gosselinlover101]

[mate1210]

Beautiful song

[brownierules123]

im singing this chorus that and viva la vida by cold play

[vvvMarrosevvv]

love it !!

[Kagome62]

i love this song so much.. but im not completely sure what it's about. can someone please explain?

[dudley825]

Its about someone who loved the wrong person and was hurt and feels far from God,the references to David and Bathsheba are obvious and how David lost Gods favor because of that love.

[BadWolfTheEnd]

i still dnt understand the david and bathsheba references -cud u explain

[dudley825]

in the bible 2 Samuel chapter 11 is the story of David and Bathseba. Read it and you'll see the trouble loving the wrong woman caused and thats basically what this song is about.

[masterowa]

and there is also reference to Samson (cutting hair as a sign of loosing strength and imprisonment) who was another man who fell for a wrong girl.

[MrsJonas92i]

I loovee thiis song (L)

[wolf3456789]
