    I heard it for the first time after a night spent by my sister-in-law's bed, with a brain tumor, and while I was driving tears began to flow and I perceived so strong the presence of God that I had a sneaky feeling a miracle would have happened ...
    That miracle didn't happen, two years have passed, we try to take care of your wonderful four children, the best we can, but every time I listen to it I think to you Mary ...
    May God bless you wherever you are Sister

      I think the miracle was in her being with you another 2 years. I apologize if I'm overstepping my bounds, I just wanted to convey that possibility to you. I am very truly sorry about your sister-in-law's transition. It sounds like you have a wonderful guardian looking out for you now though. 🤍

      The miracle you were expecting didn't happen here, but the moment that Mary passed she was in the Awesome presence of our GOD and King, and very likely unable to do anything, but sing Hallelujah..... GOD bless, protect and heal you, in His Holy Name, amen

      Yes I know it's my favorite because of the way he played the guitar, he made it sound so ethereal, the intro alone takes you right into the mood.
      It's the cover that made the song popular along the movie Shreck and then the lady here inspired a lot of women to try it right along the K.D. Lang version.
      I Checked the new covers with a simple search by date, it's totally crazy, there used to be a sea of covers for that song now it's becoming a deep ocean :)
      Plus some covers do not even appear in the search page because they are covers of covers that do not mention the author, a bit sad.
      So the craziest thing here is that the most covered song will also have the most covered covers....(lol)

    I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started
    drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all
    the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated
    her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing
    all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also
    ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I
    was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different
    philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got
    on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he
    would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when
    I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind.
    It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had
    experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember
    saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what
    happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my
    arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high
    school. I was told never to come back. At that time, I felt afraid and
    hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would
    reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began
    getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing
    something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started
    reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends
    because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family
    and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were
    judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else
    different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not
    like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who
    they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life
    and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I
    woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like
    I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my
    life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I
    was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence
    inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord
    please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I
    woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I
    was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I
    looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real it’s impossible. When I
    looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying,
    and the holy spirit became entirely real to me it was washing over me and
    inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an
    audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will
    never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever
    since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I
    know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to
    be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t
    change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of
    the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my
    addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are
    miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive
    us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we
    believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess
    with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and
    rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant
    life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but
    our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our
    souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us.
    If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES!

    *Hallelujah*
    (My original lyrics below in response to the performance. Apologies to Jeff Buckley and Leonard Cohen )
    Wow, is amazing. I've never heard of somebody sing a song too well before , but she did.
    This song was always meant for a gospel soul treatment, and she did it perfectly.
    It was beautiful and _never broken_ .
    And that's why she failed. The explicitly song calls for "brokenness" .
    Hallelujah is a beautiful and a terrible song. It takes you to the time of greatest love through some of the times of greatest pain.
    But her voice takes you from Wonder thru triumph to healing.
    But the song says the Opposite: "And love is not a victory march"
    She sung a victory march.
    So she misses, ( violates , and sanitizes ) the whole purpose, of the song.
    "It's not somebody who's seen the light"
    Thats all Alexendra Burke sings. She does it well, but thats not what this song is about.
    *Hallelujah*
    This isn't the song.
    The words are here, the notes are too,
    But it's missing, the empty forlorn lost cry
    That means "I love you"
    Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
    She forgot to add the ache and blues;
    get on your knees, beg for news:
    *What you've most lost for : Hallelujah!* hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
    With no pain , just triumph and gain,
    A call to make all , as right as rain;
    She sings a solid victory hallelujah. ...
    Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
    The breaking heart wants to breathe again,
    It know s her victory song will never reign on its Holy Broken Hallelujah . hallelujah, hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah.
    The missing piece, she put it back
    she thought she solved the hearts puzzle itself;
    and played a wholely unbroken hallelujah, hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah.
    But that empty space, we need it so,
    Even. Tho it aches below ,
    And begs and screams and cries aloud:
    "I wish with you that I had died "
    : A holy Broken Hallelujah;
    Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah

      Chris Sim Its Buckley s song.
      He was true to the original but perfected it. You have to hear Buckley's version to hear how badly she screwed it up. You have to hear Buckley deliberately miss notes, to know she was supposed to show some strain. She is supposed to mix in humility vulnerability and frailty. It's in the Lyrics. Instead she was a diva and gave us glamour and narcissism.

      ***** ...I wish youtube had an idiot filter. Since you are generous to offer self-improvement tips
      Maybe , just maybe _you_ should actually read the original versions of the song leonard Cohen wrote, **
      and then listen what Leonard Cohen said about what he meant.
      **
      There are somethings large here that you are missing.
      The song was written TO proud people like you, over that exact reason:
      "You say I took the name in vain
      I don't even know the name
      But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
      There's a blaze of light
      In every word
      It doesn't matter which you heard
      The holy or the broken Hallelujah"
      www.rollingstone.com/music/news/exclusive-book-excerpt-leonard-cohen-writes-hallelujah-in-the-holy-or-the-broken-20121203
      "I wanted to push the Hallelujah deep into the secular world, into the ordinary world," he once said. "The Hallelujah, the David's Hallelujah, was still a religious song. So I wanted to indicate that Hallelujah can come out of things that have nothing to do with religion."
      *****************
      "Hallelujah" doesnt mean "I am great".
      It doesnt mean "I am proud" It doesnt mean "you are winning". It doesnt mean "I am a prince worship me" .
      If thats what you feel when you say it, maybe you are doing it wrong.
      ***** ( If you are lucky ) You are going to get sick, you are going to get old. You are going to lose all that you posses. probably in painful pieces. +Leonard Cohen song and +jeff Buckleys version speak to that.

    It goes like this

    The baffled king composing Hallelujah

    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…

    It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
    The minor falls, the major lifts
    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 her
    She tied you to a kitchen chair
    She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
    And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

    Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew you

    And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
    But listen love, love is not some kind of victory march, no
    It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

    And every single breath we drew was Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah

    Now I've done my best, I know it wasn't much
    I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
    I've told the truth, I didnt come here to London just to fool you
    And even though it all went wrong
    I'll stand right here before the Lord of song
    With nothing, nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah

    Hallelujah for everyone who listen this beautiful song in 2020

    • @pownbnull
      @pownbnull 3 роки тому +1

      So Hallelujah literally means "praise Jah!" (Jah is the shortened form of God's name Jehovah/Yehowah =YHWH) so yes it has religious aspects..😊

    Fechem todas as janelas e abram os portões do céu, essa moça é maravilhosa, sua voz é um espetáculo glorificando ao Senhor...obrigado Senhor... glória Deus, Aleluia...

      Olhem a tradução dessa música, não exalta a Deus, a letra dela zomba do Rei Davi, de Salomão e do Deus vivo!

      a música nã é religiosa apesar do Aleluia. Conta a historia de um romance, o de Davi.

      Glaci Mendes Sim eu sei que não é religiosa, mas tudo que nela se canta tem base bíblica, quem conhece da Bíblia entende o significado, os presongens citados, esse é meu ponto de vista!

    She has a beautiful voice !!!. As a Christian I will always love the Easter version about what the King of Kings did on the cross for me !!!. For me no version of that song will ever come close to the song about my King !!!!

    I heard there was a secret chord
    That David played, and it pleased the lord
    But you don't really care for music, do ya?
    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
    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
    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 someone 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
    (Hallelujah) hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
