+ninjawarriorgirl1 except not really, bc Aaron Tveit (if that's the enjolras we're talking about) is a literal dinosaur with no social media, he probably doesn't even have a UA-cam
+Anastasia Lukasievicz One day Enjolras was using Courfeyrac's laptop to check the growing number of followers his justice group had gotten in Twitter, and by a twist of fate, he came across a UA-cam tab with one of Grantaire's music videos: "I will follow you into the dark". The music got to him; in particular, the sad and deeply emotional eyes of the singer. Somehow, Enjolras felt as if that voice had touched his very soul. He wanted to hear him singing again, and needed to learn more about the singer. Of course he couldn't admit it to Courfeyrac, so from that day on, he kept making excuses to borrow his friend's laptop without telling anybody. What he doesn't know it's that the only reason Courf had that window open was because Grantaire was an old friend of his, and they had been in a band together in high school. After graduation they went different ways, even though they kept in touch by social media, but now Grantaire is starting a graduate program at the same university Courf, Enjolras and Combeferre attend. So one day very soon, Courf will succeed in convincing Grantaire to join him in one of their justice meetings. And of course Enjolras will be shocked, and as emotionally constipated as he is, he will no react well. He will push away his confusion and his feelings for Grantaire, hiding behind cold words and frowns of disapproval. But there'll be feelings and there'll be attraction. On both parts. And after many, many years of (relative) peace, Grantaire and Enjolras will figure out a way to be together and make it work. The rest, as they say, it's history. Or better yet, I'll leave to your imagination.
was thinking how quiet and kinda shy he seems. now it makes sense. musicians can be sometimes introverted. cause theyre freakin brilliant and observant in a different way from nonmusicians. at least, he seems to be.
Luna Tique It's a haunting tune regardless of who sings it. He sings it well, I just wish the slide of the chord (?) changes weren't so loud and grating.
I am crying... oh my barricade this is beautiful. i have never actually heard this in a very british voice and I have to say I'm in love with the way he says 'hallelujah'
He says hallelujah like it should be said; ') and yay Ive used this sentence too at some point... I mean this oh my barricade one X'D wasnt it the invention from somebody from instagram?:D
I had to sing this song for the choir and I really neve rliked it but then I heard this version and loved it. Now I'm in a spiral of listening this great mans voice. Like He's an actor?! Wtf where do I sign? I'm going to watch one of his works right now!
His kids are going to be so lucky. Every night that they want a lullaby that is the voice that will sing them to sleep at night. That kid's going to have the best childhood memories.
Dear George Blagden, You are incredibly talented and I love your voice. Sincerely, Everyone ever (special message by: excuse-me-while-I-listen-to-this-on-repeat)
And after all this years I m still coming back to this video, I can't exactly tell why but this is my favourite version of all of them. It's so soft but you can also feel the doubt and the agony, it just speaks to me
I'm gonna pass out omg I love him. I love the way he clears his throat before he sings, I love the way he puts his soul into each word, and I just need to lie down.
I simply love his voice and he is soooo good looking the dear actor who is a amazing singer too. Love you George Blagdon and whish you the best in the future.
'I was in an Oscar-nominated film so watch me record songs on my guitar in my bedroom' Talk about down to earth! Beautiful, even rivalling the Jeff Buckley version!!
At times when world events can be so depressing, men like George...that are "beautiful" inside and out...remind us of the good in the world. Thank you, George.
Lost a friend to a brain tumor this week. She was only 29. Hearing this song makes me think of her, and how she's in a better place now. So beautiful, George.
Beautiful rendition, George. Huge respect for you as an artist. Your portrayal of Athelstan on Vikings, as well as Michael Hirst's great ability to bring a fictional character into a historically real situation, have been emotionally and intellectually poignant for me. I was raised without formal religion, but have always had a strong curiosity towards it. I've been researching the roots of Christianity and Judaism with much interest due to your character on Vikings. There's too much to learn, really. I will never pass judgement until I feel I know the whole story. And I'm sure that will never be the case. Thanks for your inspiration. -- Judy
Well I've 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 ya She tied you to her kitchen chair And she broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah But 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 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 there was a time when you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show that to me do ya 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 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 Hallelujah
I just got into Vikings, so up pops this suggestion from youtube. I'm a healthcare worker on the frontline of the COVID pandemic and have been through some rough times, as too many of us have. Somehow your voice has provided me with so much comfort on some very difficult days. Thank you.
I think this song can give both E/R and E/E feels. When he sings " you saw her bathing on the roof" I can't help but feel how R is lamenting the fact that E is in love with Eponine and not him. That's what's so great about music. Often it can be interpreted in different ways by other people. That said I love George's over of this classic song. His voice is beautiful.
2020 and I am here once more to be soothed by this sweet, sweet voice of tender mercy. Thank you for posting this. You’re the voice of an Angel lighting these dreary sad days of COVID-19. Bless you George. * * Athelstan forever.
Your voice echoes in my mind, and seeing your face, expressing all that you possibly can into the songs just takes my breath away. Your voice is the loveliest I've ever heard. Thank you, George.
This is perfect. I'm a figure skater, and this is the song I've always wanted to skate to. And with you singing it, it's beautiful. I want to cry. You are a very amazing and talented and special singer and actor George
I listened to this song for over an hour before my mom told me to stop playing the same song repeatedly. Now I'll be listening to it with headphones instead. (:
Oh my... I think I can rest in peace now. My english is way too weak so I can't even describe what do I feel...I'm just crying. What a gift You have...like You could touch my soul, not only with Your voice, but also Your eyes are so...oh dear I don't know...
One person does not have the capacity to understand the absolute beauty of both George Blagden and his voice. I cannot even breathe, his voice moved me so completely. I want...no I *need* to meet this man.
(Ik its very late to comment but i just found this now...well 20 minutes ago but i cant stop listening to it) This is hauntingly gorgeous. I would go as far as to call your voice ethereal. This is, by far, my favourite version of this song that I have and will ever hear.
I wish I could meet you and sing with you. You have a kind and heavenly voice which seems to reflect the quality of your soul. Im really looking forward to seeing more of your work. : )
Wow that was just beautiful. You have a gorgeous voice. I hope they let you sing a Monk chant or something on the Vikings show. or maybe a Viking drinking song?

"Athelstan didn't need us. *We needed him* "
--King Ragnar
Does anybody else get E/R feels when he sings "I've seen your flag on the marble arch. Love is not a victory march"?
I'm just imagining modern Grantaire with a UA-cam channel and posting videos of him singing. Meanwhile, Enjolras is secretly subscribed to him.
What do you mean 'imagine'? it's obviously true xD

Basically the plot line to this amazing story.

I just love it.
i hope george realises how beautiful he is, inside & out. i love u george
was thinking how quiet and kinda shy he seems. now it makes sense. musicians can be sometimes introverted. cause theyre freakin brilliant and observant in a different way from nonmusicians. at least, he seems to be.
I love George. There are no words to describe how amazing he is
It really doesn’t get better than this. I’m mesmerized by him
This is better than an opera
I cant even. Like, its 11:47 pm and i have to stop laughing! That was very unexlected!! Lol. But yeah thats true.
Anything is better than Opera! 😩😇😊
Is that a Les Mis reference?
@@faelan5360 Yes.
hehe. nice Les Mis reference
This man makes me go “oooh” and “aaah”
He looks possessed by this song, he looks very sad and I want to hug him.
Luna Tique (I want to hug him no matter what)
+Carlos Umana sameeee
it´s because of his fake god! hmmm.... priest!
+floki Stop it Floki, go to Helga and leave Athelstan alone.
Luna Tique It's a haunting tune regardless of who sings it. He sings it well, I just wish the slide of the chord (?) changes weren't so loud and grating.
You have the sweetest voice ever.
A simple guitar and a voice as soft as this beats a studio-recorded auto-tuned single any day.
It really does not get any better than this. I’m mesmerized
💖💖💞💞❤❤❤
This is the proof that he's an angel.
Never in my life have I wanted to be a guitar more.
particularly that guitar.
😂😂😂 same tho
omg yes hahaahah
I am crying... oh my barricade this is beautiful. i have never actually heard this in a very british voice and I have to say I'm in love with the way he says 'hallelujah'
He says hallelujah like it should be said; ') and yay Ive used this sentence too at some point... I mean this oh my barricade one X'D wasnt it the invention from somebody from instagram?:D
Yeah I think so.. or on tumblr but I haven't been a mizzie for that long...
Danique Hoeijmans haha me neither, only sonce the end of last year...:)) then there are all those guys on instagram who watched it in cinema O_o
Danique Hoeijmans wait.... how else do you say hallelujah? im honestly asking cause ive never heard it pronounced another way
No well there are a LOT of people who pronounce it differently... it's not really describable through text message...
His voice is so beautiful, I could cry.
Like, someone kill me.
Are you implying you didn't?
Dom Van Fine, I cried.
Good
i made the mistake of playing this while driving, tears and driving dont mix
i love you athelstan 😢💔
+Belometti Navyy More like Grantaire!
Hmm, i am sick of this... priest!
Hmmm... Priest!
King Louis! :(
Fuck you, Floki.

This is hypnotizing. If I could only listen to one song for the rest of my life, it'd probably be this.
i listen to it every morning when I wake up
I even cried here!!!! George, you "R" really fantastic!!!
Why...why must you do that 😭
This is so beautiful and I just want to hug him tight.
Doctor: you have 3 mins and 27 secs to live
Me: *plays this video*
Beautiful Angel 👼 thank you for the song.
I can’t believe it has been 6 years already. I still love listening to this.
Thank you George ❤

Don't mind me, I only got into Vikings last week, 7 years too late, and I adore you. Continue.
10 years later, I come here again to listen to your sweetest voice
I simply love his voice and he is soooo good looking the dear actor who is a amazing singer too. Love you George Blagdon and whish you the best in the future.
Athelstan is singing praises unto The Lord. Amen.
He has found his true calling.
PSA: Aaron Tveit (movie Enjolras) has a cover, too

@@th3m00nstone No problem. :)
Ok someone blend these vids together make them have a duet. I demand this 😡
I've watched this a million times; he has the sweetest voice in the world!
'I was in an Oscar-nominated film so watch me record songs on my guitar in my bedroom' Talk about down to earth! Beautiful, even rivalling the Jeff Buckley version!!
Enjolras @ Grantaire
yes. yeeeees.
i will not get over this ship. barricades (and oceans rise) and empire and republics fall, and still on this ship i stand
yaylifeyay heeey are u a hamilfan????
This is legitimately the most perfect cover of this song that I've ever heard.
because when this man sings, the angels on high weep and the devils down below bleed
hallelujah indeed
Wow, his voice...he has the most flawless tone i've ever heard.
At times when world events can be so depressing, men like George...that are "beautiful" inside and out...remind us of the good in the world. Thank you, George.
You sound like an angel. No, you are an angel. Keep on keeping on
Lost a friend to a brain tumor this week. She was only 29. Hearing this song makes me think of her, and how she's in a better place now. So beautiful, George.
His voice is just so... Perfect. I'm crying right now
3:18 when you find out that the character you portray on a tv-show is getting killed off
"It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah..." is the part I ALWAYS start crying, even if I could successfully keep it in until that point
One of my favorite songs sung by one of my favorite singers. I think I'll watch it again. :) And again. And again...
This is actually so beautiful.

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 ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
But 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 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 there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do ya
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
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

I´m not crying at work while listening to this- YOU ARE!
The way you express your feeling in the song makes me wanted to cry. It's so overwhelmed.
George! Why do you sing like an angel?! Ugh. I'm just crying so hard. Please. Don't ever stop being amazingly wonderful

This is beautiful. He is beautiful! Never have I loved this song as much as now.
it's like he just woke up wondered how many lives he can change with just one song... seriously, he's a Godsend... thank you so much for existing..
You look so shy singing this. But you're perfect and amazing. Honestly, how can anyone not love you?! You're literally the best person out there. Xx
You're the best George!! Athelstan is my favorite character and I wish you were still alive XD
I listened to this song for over an hour before my mom told me to stop playing the same song repeatedly.
Now I'll be listening to it with headphones instead. (:
This is absolutely the BEST version I have EVER heard of this with my ears, ever. ♥
100% subbed. ^_^ ♥
Your voice is just so gentle and therapeutic to listen to! :)x
This is actually warming my heart. One of the best versions I've heard.
I still think this is the best rendition of Hallelujah I've ever heard
Now every time when I'll play this song I'll think of him
Oh my... I think I can rest in peace now.

My favorite actor and singer. Can’t wait for season two of Versailles on Netflix and loved him as my favorite monk on Vikings! So gorgeous too!
This is probably the first time I can honestly say a guys voice is beautiful
I loved this song to begin with. And now I love it more. Beautiful job.
Wow that was just beautiful. You have a gorgeous voice. I hope they let you sing a Monk chant or something on the Vikings show. or maybe a Viking drinking song?
Oh my Apollo, his voice is so beautiful and he sings a Jeff Buckley song. It's like heaven.
Your singing makes me cry it's so beautiful and I never cry.
I'm not ok I'M NOT FUCKING OK
I hope Floki will be punished for killing such a great singer.
george is honestly is blessing to this earth
A lot of people can't sing this song well they force it, this spot on George well.
Love your flawless voice...really amazing, like an enchanted dream
This is so sweet! Can we all take a break from our respective fandoms to realise how absolutely great this cover (and, by extension, the artist) is?
Def one of the top best 5 songs of all time. Kills me every listen.
Aww he's such a wee cutie, I just wanna hug him awwh :3
