This song was my introduction to Rufus Wainwright. I saw Shrek in theaters with my friend and our mothers when it came out in the Spring of 2001. I was 6 years old. As the years went by and I watch the movie over and over again the beauty and the sorrow of this song really began to hit me. I am 28 now and I'm still blown away by Rufus Wainwright's "Hallelujah", it still gives me goosebumps, and I really don't know what else to say, honestly.
Rufus Wainwright & Jeff Buckley’s version are by far my favourite versions of this magnificent song! Hate to hear children sing it..this, to me, is definitely Adult Rated!
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? It goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah 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 a kitchen chair She broke your throne, she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Maybe I've been here before I know this room, I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you I've seen your flag on the marble arch Love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah There was a time you'd let me know What's real and going on below But now you never show it to me do you? And remember when I moved in you? The holy dark was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Maybe there's a God above And all I ever learned from love Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you It's not a cry you can hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and its a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Some artists get bored playing old material, but Rufus is certainly not one of them. This is outstanding in every way.
It seems like passing years his voice is getting better... Fantastic.
Also better equipment
I thought the Fillmore version was definitive until I heard this. Just perfect.
My favorite Rufus version!! Amazing!!
Rufus performs this song better than anyone!!
Love ❤️ it!!!
Sounds like he refined his voice and took it up another level, simply incredible.
Why would he refine his voice

:,) this version is very special
I honestly didn’t recognize him until I heard his voice😂
Tego pana pamiętam że Shreka 😁 To wykonanie Hallelujah poznałam jako pierwsze.
Tyle że w Shreku piosenka była w wykonaniu Johna Cale'a.

Лутшее исполнение этой песни
I read he had a daughter with Leonard Cohen's daughter
❤️
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?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
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 a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
There was a time you'd let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me do you?
And remember when I moved in you?
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and its a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Отлично!
Ещё бы побрился как 10 лет назад.
Интересно,будет ли выступать в России?
Legeng
Looks like Peter Dinklage I dunno why lol, but it's a great song, evokes so many memories
Love Mark Hamill!
I am very sorry, Leonard, no disrespect, but I like this version better!
Sing 2 go York City 🏙️ creek
Does it better than Cohen. Way better actually.
my gaydar was way off.
이 형도 늙었네....
Boring version which offers nothing more than the original. Jeff Buckley's version was the best by far.
❤️
