This song's been through so much and I love it. Written by a Jewish man, co-opted by weird fundie Christians, and now co-opted again to dunk on weird fundie Christians. The best way to honor God is to speak truth to power.
@@drakezeneth2529 your faith was strong but you needed proof. You saw her bathing on the roof, her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you. She tried you to a kitchen chair, she broke your throne she cut your hair and from your lips she drew the hallilujah
I just need you to know that backing harmony on the “minor fall and the major lift” part gets stuck in my head so often it’s crazy. It’s so satisfying to hear. I’ve slowly listened to more and more of your non-TH covers and originals and you are becoming one of my favorite artists.
this played in a recent session of a campaign of dnd for a very serious moment and it just made the moment so much better. probably one of the best covers of the song ive heard, you have done an outstanding job with this
@@no_one234 being a good person for selfish reasons isn't a bad thing, you're still being a good person. to my understanding the cover is about being a bad person and saying you're good for it (because God)
As a Christian this song makes me want to stand on a stage with an electric guitar and scream this song to an audience of ignorant people who claim to be Christians
Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her She tied you to a kitchen chair She broke your throne, and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Well, maybe there's a God above As for me all I've ever learned from love Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew you But it's not a crime that you're hear tonight It's not some pilgrim who claims to have seen the Light No, it's a cold and it's a very broken Hallelujah
@@potat2846its about how empty the pleasure hes getting from a sxual encounter is. The first verse is sung like hes talking to someone, maybe even unsuccessfully as he says the person doesnt care about what hes saying, before referencing a story where david has sx and then uses a word synonymous with jubilation in a depressing light over and over. Its a pretty common interpretation too i remember looking it up when i was younger and all the first google page was just people talking about how explicit it felt
I am a Christian, and I’m sorry on behalf of the “Christians” that took so many things and claimed it as theirs, and I hope that A lot of people will forgive my religion for the many things that were taken from them :(
Wait which caption? And are you saying they do or dont? Because the songs about how they dont know their music and often lose context when co-opting songs from other faiths. Like how this song was written about a jewish mans experience with sex and isnt meant to be religious in the way Christians have made it.
@@omoriplush8363 yeah the end of the first verse implies the speaker is talking to someone before the second verse directly makes a reference to a part of he bible where king david has sex daring a connecting between them before the rest off he song laments that what is happening isnt love or fulfilling.
I like the message of this song, but not its execution. Its like spitting in someones face and asking them to change their ways. Yes, a lot of Christianity is flawed and needs to reorient itself. However this song realistically would only just make them angry which accomplishes nothing
The irony of taking a Jewish song that Christians appropriate and referencing Christian appropriations in a parody is so good /gen

As someone who does know the second verse that caught me off guard and had me laughing the whole way through. Well done
wait whats the first and second verse ???

Bro the new lyrics added really made this
Why aren't you well known, you have such good music-
for real though its fucking criminal how underrated he is
Yea he’s really good just watching them all

Definitely a good song for that moment,might use it in a session of my own
only bad thing about this song is the fact i cant sing it while my grandma is home
When the book of revelations comes to reality this will be the tune I play to please the Holy Spirit
This is too good for the comments section to not even take up my full screen.
These lyrics are totally accurate on the bulk of "religious" or "pious" people. Ignorance and narcissism.
there are some people who are a 'good person' just to get into heaven not to be a true 'good person'
@@no_one234 being a good person for selfish reasons isn't a bad thing, you're still being a good person. to my understanding the cover is about being a bad person and saying you're good for it (because God)
and we arent?
its ignorant in of itself to take a song made for praying, and using it to spead an anti religion agenda
@@realcoolcreepergamer2464yeah but chonny dont give 2 shits tho
You didn't need to come for my eternal soul like that. Damn

Man I heckin love this version of the song, how ist written and the songs overalls feel it's just sO GOOD >:'D
I'll be honest jash I did not know the second verse. I know this songs as the DreamWorks intro
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well, maybe there's a God above
As for me all I've ever learned from love
Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
But it's not a crime that you're hear tonight
It's not some pilgrim who claims to have seen the Light
No, it's a cold and it's a very broken Hallelujah
@@potat2846 ah so that's the second verse. Odd choice of words I must say.
@@TheLaziestLynx The first set in the verse was about samson and delilah. I don't know what the last part was about

I would like to inform you that this comment caused my sinus to do some weird shit and it hurts now
You know what, I'm gonna do a cover of this song but it has to be this version.

Where's the cover Bambi?
Bambi we don't see a cover where's the cover bambi?

I highly doubt I can go back to listening to other music until you stop uploading masterpieces constantly
I love these songs!!
Just outstanding
So many Christians here and yet I'm just here from shrek...no disrespect to you lot though,great music
completely agree with that caption tbh. May not be religeous but christians and stuff really know their music.
Wait which caption? And are you saying they do or dont? Because the songs about how they dont know their music and often lose context when co-opting songs from other faiths.
