hope so much you made a version from this very special song. thank you so much 😊
Спасибо, обязательно! 😉
This song is really stepping up the game not just because of immensely talented voice but also from very thoughtful composing. And of course sound engineering that actually separate each instrument. The comment will get too long if every bits that I'm appreciating is to be mentioned. Appreciated!
A truly impressive cover of perhaps the greatest song ever written. Bravi!
I'd love to hear this young woman do some singing with PMJ. ua-cam.com/video/q8g6qs9PJuI/v-deo.html
How freaking liberating has to be to be able to sing your lungs out
I do it all the time! ... much to the chagrin of my children. I am the complete opposite of this singer.
@@-Subtle- You go and sing your heart out, your children will love you for it sooner than you think.
I only ever do it in my kitchen but it really is liberating :)
@@aoifenichinneide6893 Do it in the shower too. Sounds ruddy awesome for those of us who can't sing. 🙂
As liberating as crying all way through her vocals. She has one hell of a voice
If Leonard Cohen was alive to hear this he would be proud.
HE HEARD HER SING THIS HAVE NO DO0OUBT!
Just when you think a song has been done to death. This is probably the best arrangement of this song I’ve ever heard. What an amazing voice too, so clear and powerful.
That one is also beautiful: ua-cam.com/video/AGRfJ6-qkr4/v-deo.html
Totally agree with you there. This song is one of my all time faves, no matter whoe sang it. This version is so very special and beautiful. Thank you ❤️
Yes, this is incredibly beautiful. But for my money, nobody has ever done this song better than K.D. Lang. If you haven’t heard her version, you haven’t heard the best, IMO.
You had it right the first time. This song has been done to death. I can't even bear to hear it anymore. Don't mean to take anything away from the musicians, but this song is low hanging fruit.
@@ToeTag1968 I don't think I could call it low hanging fruit, personally. Yeah, it's been done a lot, and it's pretty much always going to sound good, so I do get your point. But the bar is incredibly high. If you don't bring something completely new to it _and_ do it perfectly, people aren't going to be satisfied, because they've heard better. A lot of my favorite song covers are from PMJ, largely because that's exactly what they do: they make songs new and perform them at a staggeringly high level.
PMJ still didn't quite match up to my personal favorite cover of this song, which really says something. It was still absolutely worth doing, as so many commenters are saying it's the first version that's really resonated with them.
Today I switched on this song to my mom, 71 years old woman from Ukraine, she doesn't understand English, but she was crying astonished with the beauty of this musical composition and video, she told ne it was an incredible experience. Thanks a million for what you're doing.💙💛
did you tell her that the song is actually about sex, fucking and losing one's faith in God ?
@@danielracovitan9779 because you think 70+ people didn't live and love, edgelord?
@@danielracovitan9779 who cares what the meaning is the song itself it’s beautiful
@@danielracovitan9779 So it's about being human; is that what you're trying to say? (Albeit crassly.)
I believe music transpires language.
Goosebumps!!! The range,the control!! How effortless she moved from one register to the next! Incredible!
hearing her voice during the hallelujahs was just amazing!
I can't say (write) more.
But i want to hear this vice in a duette with Morgan James, Haley Reinhart, Tess Mohr or someone else of PostmodernJukebox. Or the Clown of Puddles Pity Party with his amazing voice.
Vocal range? Check Effie's singing in PMJ cover on "I was made for lovin you". Listen it through.
@@anomymouse5043 just watched it, very good, what a voice!
The phrase “Iron fist in a velvet glove”springs to mind.
This is a late comment to this video and I have two thoughts. First, when I saw the video appear on UA-cam, I initially thought that we didn't need another interpretation of this song. I was totally wrong. Bravo, Scott et al. Brilliant work.
Second, like a commenter above, I saw PMJ on tour a couple of weeks ago-- in Stockholm. Effie Passero delivered one of the most extraordinary live performances that I have ever seen. She absolutely stunned the audience. We all wept. If you have a chance to see her perform, do not miss it. Her rendition of Creep to close the show was also spectacular. With both of these tunes, she easily matches the talent of those who have performed it before, but she adds an emotion and a personal connection to the music that is absolutely staggering. I am so fortunate to have been in that audience. Thank you.
so happy you got to see this live...Effie's voice is simply not of this world!
I agree - just saw her tonight sing this - I was in tears and absolutely gobsmacked with her voice and performance. AMAZING!!!!
Hard agree. Effie’s performance in Brisbane had a passion and viscerality I have never heard before.
I had the thrill of hearing her in NC a few months back and it STILL resonates with me. I'm a fellow singer and man, was I humbled and inspired. Breath taking and once in a lifetime kind of sensational.
What a voice! The arrangement is also beautiful. Just delicious.
OMG bran sabe de esta joya de canal .... @Bran Flores tqm
If Cohen was still alive to hear this cover I think he’d be brought to tears with how beautiful this is
I had to add my awe and admiration, saw PMJ live tonight and the entire room was simply blown away by this amazing voice and emotion. Effie, you are a star without a doubt and you create new fans every time you sing.
I was at last night's show too. Such a blast!
just watched their show tonight, this number was the first standing ovation of the show- and her finale of Creep was the second. She is phenomenally talented, i was entranced every time she took the stage.
@@tylerdarlington4269I was also at the show from last night, which brought me here. Simply incredible performances.
Co-sign. Saw her perform this last night and had to come here and listen to her sing it again.
Saw them in Laconia, NH last night. This one and her rendition of "Creep" nearly brought the building down. What a voice! What a great talent to add to the PMJ family!
Effie performed this live in Sydney on Friday night as part of PMJ's 'Life in the Past Lane'. She absolutely killed it. Standing ovation with cheering and hollering from the entire venue.
3:27 takes me to heaven.
Chills, goosebumps and awe.
Thanks for the button
I replayed it a thousand times
@@PabloEmanuel96 The falsettos shortly after are brilliant!
The evangelicals who love this song always skip this verse lol
I hope this channel never dies.
I hope you continue to find great talents to make those wonderful covers.
One of a kind and even if 5.75M subs is a lot, it deserves so much more!
This feels exactly how this song should?
This arrangement, the band behind her, the violin that comes in, her vocals.
It just fits so beautifully.
I heard this live last night in Bournemouth. I am not embarrassed to admit that I started crying. The emotion, passion and power that came across blew me away by far the best live vocal I have heard….ever! Thankyou, this and the other songs you sang so superbly last night was nothing less than phenominal.
Same we just saw her in Mannheim, it was.... beyond amazing, words can not describe her Voice and the Presence you feel... 😵😭
Tears of celestial inspiration. I could hear touches of Jeff Beck's sensibilities, and if Leonard Cohen wasn't sitting on a cloud with his jaw dropped in awe I'd be sad for him.
"Done to death"? Really? I can't get enough of this song. The comments prompted me to revisit the K. D. Lang & Jeff Buckley versions. If Leonard Cohen had never done anything else in his long career (and it was so, so good), this alone would have been enough to cement his legacy. Thank you, Leonard, thank you.
Effie has perfected the sound of the mourning dove and its beautiful.
Incredible voice. Nice arrangement. I’d like to see her on Broadway.
Absolutely! I truly believe her talent could take her anywhere. There’s nobody quite like her.
She almost was
She's touring with PMJ, that's pretty much broadway!
Saw this live at the Gold Coast last week... stunning. You could've heard a pin drop until the very end when we burst into applause. I was on my feet. I cried. It was utter magic.
I have listened to every version of this song I have ever seen since hearing the Jeff Buckley version shortly after his death. Literally dozens of covers. I have finally found a version done better. I sit here with tears running down my face after waiting for my hands to stop shaking enough to type. It has been many years since any song has caused a reaction anywhere near this strong. Thank you.
what a voice.
I experienced the same thing. I had been listening to this in the background out of respect to PMJ more than a genuine interest in hearing another cover of the song, but around three minutes in I noticed the waterworks that were building up. It's incredibly well done.
Same
My first thought too. Saw them last night, live it is overpowering. ❤her voice… all the feels.
This is really good. Try Bon Jovi’s version if you haven’t.
3:51-4:22 I’m so glad this verse was kept in; I haven’t really understood why so many covers usually omit this part, imo it’s so strong
It seems like every version leaves something out. This was so INCREDIBLY beautiful, and I don’t know if I have ever heard that verse.
I closed my eyes and just let it wash over me. I’m spent!
I think it’s probably because a lot of covers try to make it a religious praise song, and that verse is a little harder to interpret as being about anything other than sex 🤔
@@allisonbergh4429 THis. I keep seeing people describe it as a Christian praise song, and JUST NO. They also make up Jesusy verses. I keep waiting for people to get mad at the original Cohen version for leaving out the Jesusy verses of their "praise song."
@@Savithny I’ve seen it performed (minus the explicit verses - but there are plenty to choose from, the guy wrote a LOT) by a CHILDREN’S CHOIR. 🤦🏼♀️
Maybe because the popular Jeff Buckley's cover emitted this verse, and later covers often go by that version.
Do "Bring me to Life" by Evanescence in the style of 1950's Doo-Wop!
That’s a really Interesting combo
You mean "Bring Me To Life?"
And do mean in the style of the Fallen or Synthesis?
Not being mean I'm just curious, because they are very different in the approach to the song (one didn't have studio interference.)
Brilliant!
VOUCH VOUCH VOUCH UPVOTE LIKE SUBRIBE BOOST!
This song’s called "Bring me to Life"
Everyone should watch the Leonard Cohen documentary about this song.......it's amazing.....gives you a greater understanding of how he composed this......
I've always considered Cohen's own original as the definitive version, but having just heard this performance, it's battling it out in my head (with one or two others, particulary Skeye's) for number 2.
I love Pentatonix version so, so much, as well.
Just saw this performed live in Edinburgh last night. I sat with tears streaming down my face Effie you have the voice of an angel thank you for sharing your gift and talent with us all. Would kill to experience that moment for the first time again ❤
I just saw her in Hamilton NZ tonight...could not stop the tears. Just WOW.
I saw this live last night, it was by far the best live performance I've heard in my life.
a true #PMJtour highlight moment, every time
I heard this played in Hamilton, NZ. Staggeringly, hauntingly beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes, and there was a standing ovation - mid concert. Bravo.
We’re glad you were there with us for such a special night ❤️
Amazing song ✔️
Amazing vocal ✔️
Amazing arrangement ✔️
Top notch musicians breathing fire into a supposedly dead song ✔️
"I will stand before the lord of song, with nothing on my lips but hallelujah "
hallelujah was supposedly dead?
@@DaveDexterMusic Yeah. Nobody really wanted to do it.Passe. over.
Saw this lady sing this last night at the Postmodern Jukebox concert in Edinburgh. By far the best vocal performance I have ever witnessed live. Out of this world!
Same for me from Hamilton NZ. Rapturous!
We saw Effie sing this song last night at Anita's theatre, Thirroul as part of Pmj's Australian tour and she nailed it.
Ok, I’m probably the only person in the world to admit that I can’t stand this song - BUT - because I love just about everything you guys do I tentatively hit play. Glad I did - beautiful arrangement and sang so well on every level - passion, power, sensitivity.
I love how the postmodern logo came on just as the intro to the song ended. To remind you that yes, this is just the beginning, you're in for a real ride here.
Just heard Effie live in Wellington tonight. I got goosebumps despite no connection to the religion itself. It was incredible no words can describe.
I don't really think this song has much to do with religion.
Just when I thought this was the best version, then I heard Effie and PMJ on their UK live tour last Thursday... wow even better live. Earth shattering sound. 👏
Same here - first heard Effie's performance at the PMJ show at the Royal Festival Hall - a whole nother level above this video.
Saw her in Connecticut full body chills. Idiots behind us left because the song was to “religious” for them. Mind you they were in the vip section which was like $200 a ticket.
Thank you, Leonard Cohen!
Saw the show last night and Effie's version of Hallelujah blew me away! It was like hearing it for the first time. Just breathtaking.
Clearing my schedule for the next several weeks because after this NOTHING else exists in life for me. This is as dreamy as it gets. Effie has the most beautiful voice I’ve even known, and now THIS version of THIS song?! It’s like this song has been waiting all of it’s life for her to do this to it.❤️❤️❤️
Ngl my favourite pmj singer is and always will be Hayley and her Cover of Creep and 7 nation army are the only versions I can listen too but by god Effie has taken that 2nd spot without equal!
I have come back and listened to this rendition over and over. So good.
Effie Passero auditioned on the Voice or one of those shows and has such a fantastic and powerful voice. Its one of those voices that can break thru the hardest of hearts
Was privileged to hear this live last week in Perth amazing concert. Will always remember how in awe the crowd was of her magical voice❤
This legendary song, by your incredible and talented group, with this amazing voice, gave me chills. What an amazing way to present this song and make it sound even better than ever before. Amazing.
Thought this song had been done to death but this is really nice.
my thoughts exactly.... i would love to pmj do a parody ua-cam.com/video/gbFxlscbffk/v-deo.html
Agreed. I was getting so sick of this song but this woman has a beautiful voice and can sing.
She's unbelievable. Pure vocal and musical genius.
When you think a song has been covered to death .... and then comes this!!! Absolutely amazing - New Favourite! Hallelujah! (no pun intended!!)
Absolutely stunning!!! This song has been done so often by so many people, it’s difficult to create a version that is both unique, and still as powerful as the original. What an incredible instrument her voice is - truly outstanding 🤯 Excuse me while I go to look up all the Effie Passero I can find ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
'Hallelujah'... as it can be, with sensitivity and grace. A Beautiful Hallelujah.
i went to your show in Melbourne last night (2nd SEP 2023) and this song, sung by Effie Passero brought me to tears. thank you, thank you, thank you for coming to Melbourne. i will be there again when next you visit our city.
Absolutely beautiful, y'all! Literally got chills during the crescendo at the end of each verse.
I’ve heard this song sung so many times, but this is genuinely the most beautiful vocal performance of it I’ve heard. Thanks for tuning me in to such a lovely talent.
Yes,def one of the best
This video is incredible but...
I saw this performed live in Ipswich, UK. It was breathtaking. I was awestruck for the duration - the beauty of this ladies voice was overwhelming. She recieved a standing oveation but truly that didn't do it justice.
The whole night was truly incredible ans I would urge anyone that enjoys these videos to see PMJ live. Unforgettable.
🙏
i'm obsessed with this version aaaaaaaa
Scott Bradley improving on perfection again.
That's super angelic!!! One of the most vocally beautiful things I have heard in my life!!! I don't know why but I feel like I really needed this! It gives me hope for doing well in my diploma!!! Tough times...
This is amazing.
PMJ performed this number at their show in Pittsburgh last night. It brought me to tears. Thank you, Effie! You are incredible.
I had the privilege of seeing Effie during what I believe was one of her first road performances with PMJ. She was wonderful then and she is radiant here! Great job by all!
Best rendition I have ever heard of Hallelujah! Beautifully performed by everyone. Effie's range - WOW!
Worthy of Cohen's legacy, 100%
I was worried, but she rocked it!
It's the most unbelievable version this song!
Respect to Leonard Cohen, the last great Renaissance Man. What a biography the man had. Wow.
So thrilled that Effie was part of the PMJ TOUR -2023 singing this moving song live at Nottingham Royal Concert Halll - 16/04/23.
The most beautiful version that I have ever heard.
You brought me to tears at. Birmingham Symphony Hall, absolutely incredible xxx
This is easily the best version of this song I've ever heard. You've managed to keep it sacred while uplifting it far beyond the original. Your arrangements are consistently sublime. This one was soul-shaking.
And that voice. Rarely does one hear such a seamless range with no discernable passaggio. My goodness this was special, even by your lofty standards.
Oh wow a hallelujah cover! Awesome!
I did a snarky reply for which I am sorry---I thought it WAS amazing.
Saw her live in London tonight... this literally brought me to tears!
Me too, from NZ!
I just gave a UA-cam video a standing ovation and I’m not ashamed to admit it. Phenomenal. 👏👏👏
just superb, supreme & amazing
Oh, Effie, what a glorious talent you have!
Was blown away by Effie's renditions of this and Creep at the Gold Coast performance last month. What a voice!! So good! Thanks!!
Man i dont know how many goosebumps i got
You *need* to hear this live! Absolutely insane!
Her whistle notes literally gave me goosebumps!!
PM J Team: "Sir, how beautiful do You want this song?"
Leonard Cohen: "Yes."
THAT voice, right there. What an instrument. Perfect.
Saw the band tonight at Royal Tunbridge Wells UK. And this song was absolutely amazing live!!!!!
A fantastic evening, thank you!!
2:45 slaps SO HARD. it feels weirdly nostalgic, I can't place my finger on what or where I've heard a similar tune. I LOVE it though
When I first heard this song, I was floored by the lyric "but you don't really care for music, do you?'" What?! There are people who
"don't really care for music"? What are they, space aliens? If a woman tells you she doesn't "really care for music", RUN! RUN! She'll break your throne. She'll cut your hair. RUN!
I was lucky to see her LIVE in Toronto this weekend (dec 16th) I can NOT WAIT for you guys to come back. My husband surprised me with this and he killed it. Big big fans, both of us. Effie is just so amazing. I had chills the WHOLE TIME she was singing.
What a special night that was! We can’t wait to return to Toronto and see you again 🥂
Oh. My. God. I drop a tear at the end.
chills...just chills. I thought kd lang's version was untouchable, my favorite, but effie & scott may have just blown hers away. the sweeping majesty of her voice, magnificent! and speaking of scott, he never gets enough praise for his outstanding arrangements, focus always goes to the incredible singers, but scott is the unsung genius behind pmj so major kudos to you, scott.
We had the honour of experiencing this in Canberra this week. Virtuoso doesn't even come close.
1:14, the moment the first violinist looked into my soul and made me stay and listen till the end. Thank you!
wow.... i was brought to tears by the end of the first verse, its a song that ive been listening to and playing all my life; but dear lord ive never felt it this deep inside my soul. thank you
are you aware that the song is actually about sex, physically fucking and losing one's faith in God ; it is NOT a religious hymn
Her voice, just that grandiose talent! Wow!! PMJ has outdone themselves!
Breathtaking
Wow. Wow. Wow this is beautiful
Okay, so yes, as everyone else is saying, Ms. Passero did an amazing job with the vocals-- but CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE INSTRUMENTALS? In particular, the supporting strings between the verses, the piano in the quiet moments-- Those beautifully-played and beautifully-arranged moments were what truly kept me listening until that GLORIOUS second half where everyone, vocalist and instrumentalists, came together in a fantastic, emotional finale.
TLDR: Y'all are killin' it. Keep it up.
Great, wonderful, perfect... No more words needed
I literally have chills. Absolutely beautiful performance! 👏 BRAVO!!!!
Saw them live in Hamilton New Zealand on Saturday night. Even better live….spiritually uplifting …we were in heaven with their power💚 Thank you💜
Had goosebumps the whole song. She is just spectacular
Wow! I think she has the best voice of anyone I've ever heard on PostmodernJukebox!
I am obssesed with Effie, what an amazing singer. Her reach is outstanding, the arrangement of the song was flawless, and her runs OMG!!!! Beautifulllllllllllllllll
love how the costumes mimic the floor pattern but the lighting on Effie is the opposite, adds an other-worldly dimension to a wonderfully performed piece, well done all 👏
I had the privilege of seeing Effie and PMJB perform this in Modesto, CA this year. It was truly one of the most amazing performances I've ever witnessed.
One word "perfection" 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 congrats
Nailed it.
Absolutely nailed it.
that transition and dynamic movements...that voice and strings...awesome
What effortless power in her voice.
