regina spektor - Hallelujah [Leonard Cohen Cover] (Live)

regina spektor - Hallelujah [Leonard Cohen Cover] (Live)
Recorded 13th September 2005 Jewish Heritage Festival
Lyrics:
I 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 and 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 you
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah.
Hallelujah,hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
You know, I used to live alone before I knew you
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 there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you
But remember when I moved in you
And the Holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was 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 you
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
Hallelujah

There's always a "I'm having a conversation with you" quality to Regina Spektor's singing. As if she's talking, telling a story, and singing at the same time. It's just so unique, lovely, personal, and mellow.

And I don't know why she has this little amount of like. At first couple measures I knew I would love her version.

[@jenniferkozlik8812]

Popularity isn't quality

[@NicAlba]

One of the best covers of this song I have ever heard. Sends chills all over me.

I love regina, I really love her, I got all her CDs, I have every song of her with multiple versión and covers, but this one... I really thinks it's bad u, u this and "the machine" the only 2 that I don't live of her awesomeness

[@davidwalsh390]

I consider this a Jeff Buckley song at this point.

[@kristinemunholland8980]

but Regina's Jewish....and so was Cohen....totally different significance
