I've only just realised (after a year ... boy I'm sharp) ... Vocal majority sings this piece as it was intended: "you" not "yaaaa". Why am I not surprised. Leonard Cohen would thank you guys.
@@allisonbergh4429 Thanks, Allison. Apparently, most of the world would agree with you, but Cohen would not. His original lyric is "you", not "ya" and that's the way he and Vocal Majority sing it. In the several recorded versions sung by Cohen, he sticks to his guns, singing "you". Have a listen ... ua-cam.com/video/bVP52dC3jks/v-deo.html
Since Leonard Cohen experimented with this song with over 70 known verses, I don't think he would be alarmed at any small changes. His favourite version was by kd Lang at the Vancouver Olympics.
Gastão Gal I don't it is spiritual. Rather it is a comment on the human condition, with only the Christmas verse being spiritual. Enjoy it for the visceral pleasure it gives. Love Leonard Cohen.
I don't understand this reference to Jesus "A child was born..." I don't think that was in Cohen's original version and I don't think he meant for his song to be changed to a Christian version rather than a spiritual one without a particular religion. It's a great performance of course, just curious about why the lyrics were changed, unless they were there and I just never saw them.
Also Cohen distilled his version from 60+ verses in the beginning. I just listened to a 30+ minute podcast TODAY about Cohen & his magnum opus. If I can remember the name of the show I'll come back & add it.

You make me believe that people in the world are so great.
This is now my go to video to raise my spirit. Thank you gentlemen, one and all. Blessings from Kansas~
What an outstanding arrangement and performance!!
This video should have like 1 mil views, it is absolutely amazing.
I can't turn my phone up loud enough for this
Outstanding performance and arrangement. Particularly the tag. Gives me chills to sing it in our barbershop chorus Aged in Harmony.
A great song, a great Canadian! RIP Leonard Cohen! Superb gentlemen!!

Um, I think it should be “do ya” to rhyme with “hallelujah”

@@georgeetoile6686 If it invokes spiritual feelings, then to him it is in fact spiritual. We don't all experience things the same way.
Well sung gentlemen!
Beautiful performance. Hallelujah!
Wow Wow !!!!
excelente
Who still lesten in 2022 like me?
2024 now. Love it.

The director of Vocal Majority wrote that third verse and included in their concerts.
by what authority do you believe some guy of general spiritualism. keep in mind you die. God's judgement is real.
Yeah, they shoud've added that in the description. Fantastic performance nonetheless!
the song is vwey open ended and verses are added by the group
