Amy Macdonald Hallelujah Leonard Cohen Cover Live at AVO Session in Basel 17 11 2008

i heard there was a secret chord
that david played and it pleased the lord
but you don't really care for music, do you
well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
the minor fall and the major lift
the baffled king composing hallelujah

hallelujah...

well your faith was strong but you needed proof
you saw her bathing on the roof
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied you to her kitchen chair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah

hallelujah...

baby i've been here before
i've seen this room and i've walked this floor
i used to live alone before i knew you
i've seen your flag on the marble arch
but love is not a victory march
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

hallelujah...

well there was a time when you let me know
what's really going on below
but now you never show that to me do you
but remember when i moved in you
and the holy dove was moving too
and every breath we drew was hallelujah

well, maybe there's a god above
but all i've ever learned from love
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
it's not a cry that you hear at night
it's not somebody who's seen the light
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

hallelujah...

[Syn427]

This only further proves that Amy is one of the most UNDER rated Female vocalists of all time.

[geokrax]

she sings so affectifly!

she looks like she feels every song she sings!

that's why she's a big singer,,,,

[TheOneWithoutAName00]

Every single time I watch this video I can't help shivering and crying. Still can't understand how she does this to me.

[Bajtys]

There are a lot of versions of this song but for me is the best this one :)

[asymvivastos0]

that accent...

[runaway1996]

i love her

[chelseadunbar13]

I struggled not to cry watching this..my favourite song and one of my favourite artists. Amy puts so much emotion and feeling into her singing. Beautiful.

[Fetsje87]

Tears!!! She has a very VERY nice voice!!! I love you so much!!!

[cinzianena]

I pretty agree with Realdiamondshow, the guitar needs some balance there. Still beautiful song and great singer.

[mejunestv]

i hope you never stop singing Amy MacDonald. Thanks for your music so far and i hope after your 20th Album ill still be able to hear you,

A big hug from a big irish man. xxxx

[76ComicFan]

she's got good taste in covers.

[IchErwin]

She should sing all of Leonard Cohen's songs (as a side project).
