John Cale - Hallelujah

[babyfackmcgisek]

was für arschloscher die meinen das lied wär scheiße das is einer der schönsten lieder die ich jehh gehört hab

[ch2010ize]

I know most prefer the Leonard version but this is my favorite by far

[TheMrdogoman]

best version of any hands down

[Crumpxtz]

@TheMrdogoman  agreed!

[comicfairy]

Beautiful. Best Version. Love the pic too. =)

[alexman223322]

ive never been much of a religious person.. but i must say this song really cuts me deep. thank you john cale. you make my day happy when its at its worse everytime i hear this beautiful song

[ThePizzaGuru1]

@alexman223322 And you meant that quite literally

[Zombies8Alex]

best version

[UNDENATUREDisaword]

Hallelujah + John Cale ... amen. (This version lays bare an intense fragility that eludes all other attempts, eventually even L.C. himself)

[MAUSEZAHNist]

Great Song. Great Version.

[MushroomKingdom919]

John Cale is wonderful.

[4lqu1mista]

shrek original sound!!!

[walerianczyk4]

Jedna z najpiękniejszych piosenek,pieśni jaką kiedykolwiek miałem przyjemność usłyszeć.

[Ossimetzger]

This is definetly the best version of hallelujah

[KRYS250162]

Jest ok

[PinkOld]

I just wanted to let anyone who was interested in getting this version know that it's available on the TV series "Scrubs," music compilation called "Music from Scrubs," of all places.

Yes, it's weird.

Unfortunately, you also have to get the entire soundtrack instead of getting just this song, but at least it's not expensive at $5 USD.

[CairUnderground]

@entiria fuck you !

[kaitlin12336]

@entiria Wow. get a life

[0TheCarnage0]

97 people... really have some SERIOUS problem

[MeisterOghrin]

That's the best video 'Halleluja' I could find. It ist the nearest original I think. WOW!!!

[mklinge160972]

john cale the former viola player of Velvet Underground sung this song, he is at least as important as Leo Cohen

[zoelarapeuse]

It makes me cry.. ♥

[gamecock366]

I know this song was written by Leonard Cohen, but I swear it sounds like it could have been written by Tom Waits

[PainterZeichner]

Ich liebe dieses Lied, einfach traumhaft!

[Kalypso1323]

I think this is my favorite version...

[ImaCowfreak]

Shrek anyone?

[Robb9096]

who is Leonard Cohen?

[brischni66]

@Robb9096 Cohen is the original artist of this song, this is a cover; but my favorite version! Great song!

[Robb9096]

@brischni66 THNX

[johhnyjoni]

Shrek 3 :D

[judidoro]

This song is so bautiful! Everytime I listen to it I need to cry

[Foxbuster100]

Gänsehaut feeling.....



[Columboisback]

Leonard Cohen must be proud :)

[masamune793]

Every time I hear this song, every version, I feel something different. There is no right way to sing this song; it is one of the best songs to bring out emotions. Hallelujah to everyone who sings or hears this song.

[bahera955]

This song gives me goosebumps

[Ali74]

Cale changed the tempo of the song

[xerxes44]

this is the version in the movie shrek but there is a different version on the soundtrack for the movie

[ForgetMyShadow]

My favorite version by far <3

[UschiFreak96]

ich liebe es. i love it. ♥

[TheNothingSilence]

fantastic

[MrCostamPL]

Halleluja to every dead person ....Norway - WTC....:'(

[LeagueofMinors]

Put Shrek somewhere in the title so people can find this. By far on the top 5 of my favorite sad songs in movies

[Dinikzak]

@LeagueofMinors That's not the version from Shrek...

[mranonam]

@Dinikzak Yes it is. The soundtrack has Rufus Wainwright's version because of some contractual mumbo jumbo, but this is the version heard in the film.

[Dinikzak]

@mranonam Oh ok. Thanks :)

[Privateer3000]

the picture....so cute

[WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

This always reminds me of the film Basquait

[RammusTheArmordillo]

i like the description.....

mes frères français sont pas très dégourdis.....

[1610justforfun]

i like beer

[TheHidayet123]

[eleosingle7b]

Hallelujah to Steve Jobs! ;((

[eleosingle7b]

This song is beautiful and sad at the same time :) I had to cry :( <3

[VillaPipoAnarkisti]

And Hallelujah to every soul on every nation and every continent! To ones in bliss, ones in pain, rich and poor, tiny and tall, the mighty and the proud, the minor faces in the crowd! The ones who suffer and the ones who sing, the ones who cope in the life's swing! Raise your hand to life's simple beauty and bless your soul!

[GreenRad2012]

@VillaPipoAnarkisti: two words: THANK YOU. <3

[fragmovie]

@VillaPipoAnarkisti

the best comment I ever read on youtube. thank you.

[PinkOld]

@VillaPipoAnarkisti Wow!

[omllette]

@VillaPipoAnarkisti i salute to you my master 

[TehCloudxD]

Hallelujah

[Theo96100]

keeps you thinking...

[Nosnazeb]

Leonard Cohen wrote an amazing song, but he doesn't sing it, he speaks it with music in the background. This version is much better.

[destkiller100]

Halleluja from the world

[TheWhereIam]

Incredible song

[tisdue]

Please play this song at my funeral.

[reneramboo123]

every time when i listen to this i got goose flesh

[tisdue]

Yes, this is the actual version from Shrek.

[disneypassholder]

@tisdue

The Shrek version is by Rufus Wainwright. It's also not the original. It's just another nice homage to a master songwriter.

[tisdue]

@disneypassholder - You are incorrect. The Wainright version appears on the Shrek Soundtrack CD but not in the actual movie itself. Weird, I know.  But it is 100% a fact that John Cale's version is the one in the theatrical release of the movie "Shrek."

[aerdna14]

@tisdue I just learned that fact today. That is really strange, why would John Cale sing it in the movie, but have somebody completely different on the soundtrack? Bizarre.

[tisdue]

@aerdna14 They were able to obtain the rights to John Cale's version for the movie. But not for the official soundtrack.

[aerdna14]

@tisdue Oh, I see. That's too bad, I always wondered why this song sounds so different in the movie vs. the soundtrack.

[DANCULxy]

Nadherna skladba

[jasbk]

this is beautiful and is superior to any other version... John Cale may never read this.. but if he does... Thank you.

[princesskc9]

Cant decide which version is best The Alexandra Burke misses 2 verses, The jeff buckley version slurs weird notes This one is a tiny bit too fast and the Leonard cohen ones abit sleazy! DILEMMA!

[andreCologne17]

@princesskc9

in my opinion definitely the one from rufus wainwright ;)

[Saphareas]

Halleluja to my Grandparents

[LiesbethAchmed]

das ist so ergreifend. ich liebe dieses Lied. Es ist eine Legende,und Legenden sterben nie und dieses Lied bitte auch niee.

es errinerd mich so oft an menschen die gestorben sind,oder meinen verstorbenen Hund. Einen freund den ich verloren habe an jemand anderen oder so. es ruft diese gefühle auf

[Deceptikon121212]

I love this song <3

[bestofintentions777]

tears of despair are dry

[00yourconscience00]

@WendySunVal

You are fucking kidding me right? U honestly have no idea about what happened?

[Stefandaddy]

[1tod1pianox]

I Love this version the most :)

So soft and soothing to the soul =)

[Anderson6346464]

@1tod1pianox Really... first time i hear, was in the voice of Rufus Wainwright and love it. But after enjoy this version of John Cale, i change my mind. This is so much better.

[alegvic]

Halleluja from Perú ♥

[bgkjake]

Banksy image is very appropriate

[agentbobsmith1]

My mom was killed in a shooting saturday night... This song is one of thevfew things that gives me comfort right now.

[nejisfangirl1]

@agentbobsmith1 Then the song has done its purpose...It touched someones life in a very dark hour...All my sympathies to you.

Halleluja to you and all who've lost someone.

[Zyraxx44]

@agentbobsmith1 Condolences.

[Rajester80]

Halleluja to everyone who feel with Norway and to the famlilys and friends of the victims

[WendySunVal]

@Rajester80 y? what happened in Norway?

[Snafu320]

@WendySunVal Not sure if trolling or just very stupid....

[ValentinK1]

@WendySunVal are there no news from europe in the usa?

[WendySunVal]

@ValentinK1 idk i don't actually watch the news lol

[ValentinK1]

@WendySunVal okay. but there was a guy who killed many kids and some adults about 70.... it was and still is a horrible incident for norway and other countries. the people he killed were on an island and hadnt have any chance to defend thereselfs

[MrYoummy]

[happytoiletbrush]

@Z3kedog

[SUMD123]

@99uti Im Englisch, "Lied" meint "belogen." Ich habe "Wer ist schönes?" gedacht. XD

[jeremyklug01]

[vasdeferensify]

This is really good, but it feels a little rushed. Not enough time to let it all sink in

[pianotanya]

it's funny, this version was played IN shrek, but on the soundtrack, they put another person's cover instead...
