Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen (cover)

[inthelandwhere1]

@swetor Good luck with your career, your obviously talented. One day i hope to dedicate my life to music but i need to make enough money to be comfortable first. dont let your flame go out and never give up.

[swetor]

@inthelandwhere1 I hope i can do the same thing too. Music is really difficult and it needs a lot of effort, practice, creativity... When you can balance your practice with your creativity and you can see results in your playing or composing then i guess you can be happy and be considered as a 'musician'. Very nice timing for the comment because i need someone to remind me that music is almost flame apart from practice. Thank you. Good luck.

[julchienn]

great  i love it julia

[7337danny]

Jeff buckley !! Foolio

[swetor]

@7337danny what do you mean by that?

[godfatherofnihilism]

Great!

[CantComeUpWith1Now]

I was looking for Leonard

Cohen and saw your cover. I figured that a regular guy's version might give the old song new life. You did. It's passionate and soulful. I don't usually like live music done on YouTube by American Idol wanna bes, but you were refreshing and talented. My on musical talent is recognizing it, and I just did. 

[PROIOWAGAMER]

im not quite sure how you received 44 dislikes for this video, this song requires some grit some soul to sing and i think you do a very good job. sound is what you expect form a tripod camera in a living room.. good job man haters always hate.

[beijarena]

That's good, really good !! except the audio quality :( please watch my cover of this fantastic song :) and nice job, you have a good voice :D

[juanjo44]

[goldbrickdreams]

You do the song song good.

[Kalonic]

The words disappear away. Sounds like the last letters are gone. A little better pronunciation and it would have been really nice to listen to

[Rooster55199]

I found the title a bit misleading, it wouldnt hurt to edit "Cover" in to the title.

[swetor]

correct. thank you

[ezscottitall]

Nice feeling.

[janasiskova]

beautful cover!

[Rollinabigbone420]

A+++ MAN!!! EXCELLENT!!! I know how it goes finger picking, and unless you've got a hand of steel its really hard to keep that up for the whole song!! I end up strumming for part of it too, LoL!! Keep it up bro, you did a great job on this one!!

[Zilmerdrengen]

you actually sing good, but that you can't play the song without the notes/chords for the song, realy pulls down... But just play it over and over, untill you get it perfect one day (: ps: If it has to be 110% perfect, work on your accent too (: but that's just my opinion (:

[mikey006us]

dude you nailed this song...just wanted you to know rough and edgy loved it gave it 5/5

[swetor]

:)

[JonnysKia]

I love your accent.

[rami42148]

[trainmanbob]

Disagree. leonard Cohen and KD Lang are the best versions.

[milo3106]

good job, nice voice - even look similar to a young l. cohen.

[trouter2000]

Good job, though the sound on the video might need a little tuning

[lkugukyfhgv]

nice voice..this is good

[sunnyxxshadow]

Nobody can sing this song as good as jeff buckley, but still you do it very well! Keep on the good work!

[trainmanbob]

Disagree. Leonard Cohen and KD Lang are the best versions.

[tahnsha]

[archicip]

[joanlagoy]

I like it!! Sounds great!

[NovemberBegin]

pretty good man

[INGREDION]

tres tres bien sete musique

[fudisapp]

this is posssibly the best cover ive heard of the song i think it is much more effective played on guitar and with minimal instuments. if it has drums it sounds too full to sound really good

WELL DONE!!

[zeuscohen]

u r doing it not bad, not bad at all :)

[themusetrap]

Cohen had two versions the studio an the live version. The live version was the more sexual version that Cale and Buckley covered. As somebody else stated there is 80 verses. I love this version, but both are great. Leonard Cohen is one of the best songwriter's out there. It is a shame that people usually discover him by people covering his songs.

[pacotabaco2]

great! love the song love this

[Eriklenartvalentin]

This is Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen real lyrics that one that he sings is jeffs version that is a crap to the real one that is so much better. I wont saying that he sings bad its not that its the lyrics thats wrong.

[Speedpig001]

Methinks you jest

[Eriklenartvalentin]

? write in englich please

[Speedpig001]

All the lyrics are Cohen. He wrote over 80 verses so you may choose to sing any of them. There are some versions more common than others.

[Eriklenartvalentin]

so you mean that halelujah exist in tow versions by the same one that is in this case cohen ? then it would be reall easy to mix them.

[swetor]

speedpig001 is right. there are many versions of this songs, and all from cohen.

[Eriklenartvalentin]

okej its really strange but i guss you guys are right thx for clearing this things up :)

[shanebai]

I think your bass e is out!

[PlextraMoist]

Wow.. i usually hate the re-dos of this song...

love it

[Zakraim]

Like youre voice^^

And you play great, love it!

[A7XScr3am]

You play beautifully, work on pronounciation and vocals though.

Nice.

[tubelev]

sorry to say this, but i don't feel it, when you sing it. song is great though!

[sebastianammic]

felt the same...nothing...sry

[revalesq]

Sounds good but Leeeft is pronounced lihft and so on...

[AnkaMusiclover]

Great!

Though you're not quite perfect you put much feeling in this song. That's what it is abaout dude, keep it up!

[FleaGonzalez12]

nice! :D

[pabloatpethig]

[c8zmax]

You are a really good singer and guitar player.

Good version of the song

[HippieJimi]

Not bad Dude...not bad at all :) ...Happy Holidays....Jimi...

[bennotben]

Wow! Well done! That was really good! This song has had alot of publicity in the UK recently due to it being the final song on a reality TV show called 'X Factor'. I think many people who know what I am reffering to would join me in saying that if your version was the winner, it would be the Christmas #1 without fail!

[swetor]
