Hallelujah - Acoustic (Leonard Cohen Cover)

Hello everyone! I just moved back to Nashville and am still getting situated. Everything is going well, but I've been a little busy. I found some time to get this one recorded, and I hope you like it. I was hesitant to cover this song, because so many great performers have already given their take on it, but regardless I tried to do something different with it. I hope you like it, and hope you don't hate me for butchering your favorite song to cry to...

much love,
matt buechele

im just saying if he wants to make it anywhere with music, you cant sing sad songs in an upbeat form. my company wouldnt sign an artist that cant project the feeling of a song.

I understand where you are coming from, but countless people have covered this song, and I wanted to tackle it from a different perspective. I think the lyrics and melody are strong enough to convey the same message and feeling in my version of the song.

Yay! So good! Love the rhytm! Althogh it doesn't really fits with the lyrics .. whatever, it's stil brilliant!

[MJBBOY]

yeah thats what I was afraid of, I took a slow sad song and made the lyrics less significant, I still don't know how I feel about this haha thanks so much though
