Hallelujah (alternate version) - Leonard Cohen cover

A very rough version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah". This is take 2 and it's not all that much better than take 1.

This version of the song is taken from the album "Cohen Live" (1994). The words are different as is part of the tune. Here are the lyrics:


Baby, I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
Yeah and I've seen your flag
On the marble arch
But this love, love is not some kind of a victory march
No, it's a cold and it's a very broken Hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
Ah but now you never show it to me, do you?
Yeah but I remember
Yeah when I moved in you
And the holy dove she was moving too
Yes and every single breath that we drew was Hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
As for me all I ever seem to learn from love
Is how to shot at someone who outdrew you
Yeah but it's not a complaint
That you hear tonight
It's not a laughter of someone who claims to have seen the light
No, it's a cold and it's a very lonely Hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I learned to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come all this way to fool you
Yeah and even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand right here before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

there is no doubt that this has a good voice but I didn't particularly like this country version

[mACKs94]

Wow that's fantastic.

I think it's better than the origin from Cohen o__o

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Two takes is bad. I prefer to do it in one. But thank you.
