    It makes me sad to see people saying "It is a Shrek song.", "It is not a serious song" blablabla..
    This song is so filled with emotion and so much love and sadness, at the same time. It was in Shrek, yes. Does it mean it is not a serious song? Heck no.
    This song is one of the best pieces ever written, and the fact that so many people sing/play it and cover it proves it.
    Amazing cover, Sam, Alex and Casey. *hats off*

      It's terribly sad that "Shrek" is one of the few things people can associate this with...but that's just a sign of the times. It shows just how young folks are that they don't relate this song with something further in the past. Those of us from "Days Gone By" knew of Leonard Cohen back before most of you where born. He was...and always shall be...a Legend.

      Hannah Schulte Casey is the girl, right? I just heard her for the first time and my jaw literally dropped. I love Sam but in this song she is the brightest star for me!

    • @janetngo1226

      Casey is the guy on the left! Alex is the girl's name.

      @nalaimpala5949 7 років тому +1

      AHH! I'm so sorry! Sam, Alex and Casey can be names of both genders, so I was confused :'D But he is great, too. I just like the girls voice in this video the most

    • @IDontKnowButLikeYou
      @IDontKnowButLikeYou 7 років тому +8

      Didn't you and I have a conversation on Sam and Casey's wedding video weeks ago? And now you're on this video confusing him with Alex G? How does that work?

  • @shannondavidson672
    @shannondavidson672 6 років тому +4

    You ever notice that when it's a fast song, people say, "That was awesome! Keep up the good work!" But when it's a slow song, everyone no longer has anxiety or depression or they come up with paragraphs? Me, I just cry while commenting about the similarities in comments.
    And that also makes me realize just how alike we all are. For 3-5 minutes, we sit and listen to music, and for once in our lives, everything is ok. 😇

    @rachelledehaan736 5 років тому +10

    I'd 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, the major lift
    The baffled king composing Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof
    You saw her bathing on the roof
    Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
    She tied you to the kitchen chair
    She broke your throne and she cut your hair
    And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Well 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 ya
    And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
    And love is not a victory march
    It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Well, maybe there's a God above
    But all I've ever learned from love
    Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
    And 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, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
