After listening so many times, I realized that every verse shows different approaches to a break-up. Colm: disappointed indifference and a lack of interest Dan: liberation from suffering and standing strong Jonathan: grieving the loss and lamenting over how empty everything feels in the moment Thomas: reminiscent on the best parts of the relationship and upset that the good times ended Caleb: pessimistic and seeing love as a waste of time
@@JoyBoy0606 That is a very interesting and convincing interpretation of the song. I was looking at this through the lense of a strictly religious interpretation. Each verse felt like a different part of my life in regards to religion, and the analogy of the times I have broken up with God really resonated with me. That probably wasn't your original meaning, but I thank upunfor giving me some perspective
Why do I feel like a widowed multi-millionare in a fancy restaurant sipping on whiskey alone at a bar at 8 PM trying to cope with my loneliness before suddenly seeing my true love out of the corner of my eye. Seriously this is absolutely stunning.
This was played for my grandfathers funeral march, that was years ago and I thought I had moved on, sitting here at work this came on and I found myself tearing up randomly. Beautiful rendition, bravo
When Thomas started singing I teared up... it's such a beautiful song. Everyone did an amazing job and hearing Thomas sing this was awesome to me since he has helped me so much through his videos.
This song appeared on a UA-cam mix and I wasn't paying attention to the window, but the moment I heard Thomas I had to stop and make sure it really was him. It's so cool seeing him be recognized like this outside of his personal fans.
L to R: Colm McGuiness, Dan Vasc, Jonathan young, Thomas Sanders, Caleb Hyles Absolutely beautiful job everyone! I especially love how everyone's personal singing styles gelled together so well!! edit: OMG thanks this is the most likes I've ever got! 1.3K was a big surprise!!!!
No, this time it’s Jonathan _and Colm_ who sound wildly out of place by being two whole vocal ranges below everyone else. In all seriousness, their voices work magnificently with this group.
@@CivilMold pretty sure Johnathan has a deeper voice. He's a bass and Colm is a baritone. Colm is just very good at getting into the bass range as well.
I keep forgetting UA-camrs exist as people that can interact with each other. The fact that someone like Markiplier and Thomas Sanders can be connected by a few people is ASTONISHING.
@@2-Way_Intersection Mark knows Arin and Dan from Game Grumps, Dan from Game Grumps has NSP, Brian from NSP collabed with Jonathan, now Jonathan has worked with Thomas.
This song, despite being originally written by and often preformed by one person, is perfect for a group to cover. The interpretation I've heard and like is that each verse is what 'Hallelujah' means to different people, so splitting up the song among different singers is a really cool way to display that.
I'm not too familiar with the lyrics, but the second verse at least showcases King David ("saw her bathing on the roof") -- who's also mentioned in the first verse -- and what sounds like Samson (tied down, cut hair). Not sure what that might say about the other verses. Samson's tale is about a guy who kept falling for bad women, and David had tons of wives without being satisfied and murdered a guy to take his wife as well, so...
@@Arkylie David was known as the "singing king", but he had a lot of trouble near the end of his life, if memory from Sunday school serves me. "Your faith was strong but you needed proof" is also a reference to Thomas the apostle, who put his hand in the wound left by the Romans' lance to know for sure that Jesus was back. "Love is not a victory march" could be a reference to the walls of Jericho and how they were brought down with trumpets. The fourth verse for me has very ~intimate~ connotations, which blurs the line here between love/romance and faith/religion. What I love is that they left the original phrase "Maybe there's a God above" because questioning it is a core Jewish thing with faith, and the songwriter was Jewish. I think that, overall, the song is kind of a love song and kind of a faith song, the divine and sacred act of loving, and holding on to love like one holds on to faith even in the face of doubt about it. It's a very complex song and therein lies its beauty,
No, it's not. The poem is ONE man's struggle with religion. Having multiple people sing it kind of muddies the actual meta artistry behind Cohen's performance.
[Verse 1: Colm R. McGuinness] 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, and the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah [Verse 2: Dan Vasc] Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you She tied you to a kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew thе Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallеlujah Hallelujah [Verse 3: Jonathan Young] Maybe I've been here before I know this room and I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you I've seen your flag on the marble arch But love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah [Verse 4: Thomas Sanders] There was a time you 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 [Verse 5: Caleb Hyles] Well, maybe there's a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot at someone 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 [Outro: All] Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Halleujah
I never realized how soft Thomas 's voice is before listening to him sing alongside strong and deep voices. It reminds me how light his voice is, honestly.
@@WelcomeApathy yes, I know and I'm saying I never realized how soft he can be. /nm. I mean, I have listened to his songs and covers before. I just like how light his voice is in this cover.
@@JumboWatermelon I don’t think there is a “right” version of that verse. It’s been the holy dove, holy dark, and holy light alternatively. That fits with the spirit of the piece, though, because the piece is centered around the subjective emotional interpretation of the word “Hallelujah”. It’s different in different situations - means different things to different people - it’s more like an exclamation than anything else. It’s a much more abstract song, I think, than most people appreciate.
Honestly you should listen to the various versions of Hallelujah. I think I’ve heard at least 13 of them. I believe some people made their own verses. It’s really moving, and hearing everyone relate to it in their own way makes me feel connected to humanity. I love that they did this piece in 5 parts with different artists. To me it’s become a piece that symbolizes the unity of the emotional experience of life.
*listening to the majority of the song* : Damn, all these people are sooo good! *when all five sing the final chorus* : They snatched my soul and sent it to another dimension!
@@chaoscontroller316 well the fact is singing is all about training practice and confidence for majority of if. To be a baritone or tenor is great but to utilize your voice is the same as any other instrument
@@Symbolic-Sky that is true, you could be naturally gifted and have a nice voice, but your technique can be horrible, it depends on how you use that voice
The deep voice on 0:50 seconds is really impressive! I'm just singing alone to this with my Alto female voice and here I am like omg... DAMN THAT DEEP!
Gods, your collabs are always so... heavy? Intense? Epic? I don't know the word. You capture something in these that I just don't get from too many other collabs, big or small. When you rally the bois and I see that wonderful graphic light up with the vocals through the song, I'm near tears. Joy, beauty, sorrow, or pure astonishment, the tears are pure and I couldn't be happier about that. Thank you, all you wonderful gents for this wonder. And thanks as well to all the beautiful people listening to and supporting you guys with me. Godspeed, lads.
I came here because of Dan Vasc, have never heard of the other performers.. Every one was wonderful, great harmony done by all. This was beautifully done.
@@torazely But there was that one time where Loki turned into a snake. Thor loved snakes so he picked it up to admired it. And then he turned back and was like 'Mrah, it's me!'. And then he stabbed him
As if the Wellerman, and Zero to Hero covers weren’t star studded enough now we have freakin Thomas Sanders and Dan Vasc, this is the best year for collabs!
I came here because of Dan Vasc and it was worth it. Great collaboration and it was a pleasure. From 0:53 - 1:38 wow. Dan fans know what I'm talking about ♥️🤟
I couldn’t be the only one who waited for the *“I heard there was a special place where men could go and emancipate”* and I remembered this was a cover of the real version of Hallelujah and the voices legitimately and softly brought me to a dimension that I never knew that existed and felt the voices touch my heart that gave me goosebumps!✨💖
I said, aloud, “Huuh, dude!” when I read the words “hallelujah” and “Thomas Sanders” for this collab. Let’s go! This is already perfection. I can feel it.
This was my grandmother's favorite song. She passed away back in April, and this came out briefly before what would be her 81st birthday. Needless to say, I cried a bit. Well done.
I just want to point out that these guys have amazing bands that have been over shadowed by their cover careers, but should be recognized for great ORIGINAL music. Caleb Hyles is in FROM THE DARK Dan Vasc is in FEARLESS Jonathan Young is in GALACTIKRAKEN. All of them are outstanding power metal bands, all unsigned.
@@aragorn767 I can help with Thomas! I'm a HUGE fan of Thomas so- He has original songs such as On The Borderline, The Things We Used to Share, AND! He also has his own youtube series with original songs in there! Not to mention he has his own musical written by him and his fans and it's really good!! All of the people in the musical are his friends too they all participate in it. He's also done spinoffs of disney songs cause he loves Disney! He's made a disney villain mashup, and a lot of other mash ups. He has an original song dedicated to Disney called A Gay Disney Prince and he collabed with Jon Cozart in that video. And he has a song all about mental health but in a happy way called Recipe For Me! So Thomas as a LOT of original content. He has 24 if I remember right or I might be miscounting and there's more. Which! I do strongly suggest checking out his content he makes a lot of content with his friends, lgbtq+ q&a's, songs obviously, and a lot more. And not to mention that show I mentioned! It's called Sanders Sides and I'm obsessed with it cause it's so good he's a great actor.
This was a real touch of nostalgia for me Back in about 2009, I sang this on stage at a varity show with my grandfather playing the saxophone and a family friend playing the piano. My grandfather was a beautiful saxophone player and was entirely self taught and could learn a song by ear in a matter of a couple days. He passed away almost 4 years ago now, so this was a nice little walk down memory lane for me
so sorry for your loss. i lost my grandad to COVID over a year ago now (April 2020) and it's been very hard, even not seeing his face or hearing his voice.
@@diamond_dude1011 I feel for you, my friend and I am sorry for your loss as well. It took me about 6 months to accept my grandfathers death and move on when it happened, and the only reason I was able to move on in that time frame was due to meeting my partner, otherwise I don't know if I would be over his death today. It can take a lot of time to fully process a death, especially when you're close to them. Just take it day by day ❤
@@SappyDuder i'm sorry for your loss. My grandfather passed when i was 9. When my mom gave me his ring i started crying and locked myself in my room because i couldn't believe he's gone. Took me i think a year or 2 to accept that he's gone
I like to imagine this is like a group of guys bonding in a bar over being sad, like in a musical like i can see it in a move where each guy had something happen and now they are crying over beers with buddies. Colm is a musician, he had a partner and they had a big show together, but they (the partner) just wanted the glory and ditched him as soon as they got some recognition Dan just got out of a very unhealthy relationship, but still misses them Jonathan lost his partner, they died in war, and he just got the news Thomas just got out of a very healthy relationship, and misses them Caleb had gotten into a big fight with someone he really cares for, and doesn't know if he can ever fix the relationship. like i know what the actual song is about, im just having fun :D
@@thisiswrathspeaking2057as someone who's been singing in a choir before, ive heard bass voices many times before lol, just found that note really deep. Deeper than I'm used to hearing and I'm impressed by how deep he could go. :)
@@DorianIanvarius oh, I see I see Well if you want more of those types of voices, you could look up Geoff Castellucci and Tomi P. They're both great bass singers!
I did not know about Colm McGuinness or Dan Vasc before this song but now I must look up all their music… The RICHNESS in Colm’s voice and the SOUL in Dan’s absolutely hooked me… and then Jonathan, Thomas, and Caleb simply blew me away as they always dear lord this was exactly what I needed before bed tonight 😭💗💗💗
This version has made me love this song again. My ex is in prison for 40 years. He loved this song. I couldn't stand hearing it until now. Its a beautiful song. I've slowly been reclaiming the things that gave me joy before things changed. Thank you for helping, all of you
Omg the 5 beautifuler metal/acapella singers of the internet joining forces to deliver a LITERALLY holy cover... So glad to see Dan Vasc, Colm and Thomas join the Jonhatan/Caleb circle, you guys are just gathering talents all around the glob, making them exist. That's wonderful and humble, cause have to be honest, you both already are Talents at the point you can support other talents. And on their way, those other talents supports you as well. You guys are wonderful, and even more together
Okay the moment I saw Thomas was in this vid i never went to a video so fast in my life and I WAS NOT DISSAPOINTED! U ALL WERE AMAZING!! Also Colm...HOW CAN A MAN HAVE THAT DEEP OF A VOICE?!😳
Dan Vasc brings that Heavy Metal power to whatever he touches, somehow making it go well even with a beautiful ballad like this. Huge respect and great job to everyone!
Absolutely beautiful. First Wellerman, then the Sisters, then the Gospel, then Dynamite, now this. Think I'm in heaven. EDIT: Whoa, that's a lot of likes! Thanks. God bless you all.
The chorus at the end is simply angelic. From the buttery smooth and heart melting voice of Colm, to the soul and passion of Dan, to almost a competition of the bassists in Jonathan, to the unexpected beauty in Thomas Sanders' voice, to the well known and yet, still surprising vocal range of Caleb, to the angel's serenading us all to internal peace for just a few minutes of relaxation, before the video ends. Simply beautiful. Great job fellas, keep on rocking it
This is so, so beautiful, but I can't help but miss the two verses from Cohen's original...two of the best ever written, in my opinion. I'd have killed to hear you guys sing "there's a blaze of light in every word/it doesn't matter which you heard/the holy or the broken Hallelujah". As for hearing "and even though it all went wrong/I'll stand before the lord of song/with nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah" from any of you, it would probably have led to my spontaneous combustion.
First it's these 3 amazing dark, low voices, then there's our Angel, Thomas 🥰 and then this beautiful raspy voice. But when they all came together, man I got chicken skin all over 🤗💕✨️
Maybe not a song to play at a wedding lol “Love is not a victory march, it’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah” “There was a time you let me know what’s really going on below but now you never show it to me, do you” “The only thing I learned from love was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you”
@@datdude888 This is why I love "the sound of silence" so much, most people these days are just interested in catchy pop songs without caring about the story told or emotions communicated (or lack there of). Unlike a lot of older people who just want to complain about younger generations in general, I'm not saying that some artists don't try, but that the industry is based on money and therefore consistent success, which is just not how the creative process works for most people. Sorry I'm ranting.
I've definitely seen this song requested for a wedding ceremony more than once, both the Leonard Cohen and Beyonce versions, and I still don't really understand why. I think people just like the harmony and tune, without listening to the lyrics.
The Tale Of The Famed 5 Suits: Upon your walk around the old theatre, you start hearing singing. You yell out, "Who's there?!" The voice just kept singing. The one voice grew into 2, then into 3, then 4, and lastly 5. All singing im parts and eventually synchronization. You peer onto the stage to see 5 ghostly men in suits singing to a faded crowd of the dead. Theres no fear in you, but there is a calming feeling and joy. When the ghosts stopped singing they bowed and disappeared. Along with their departure the ghostly crowd clapped while slowly disappearing. As the room finally went silent you go to stand on the stage looking around. You smile and go back to your duty now realising that nothing bad is there, but only the ghosts of the past continuing their performance.
I don't always sing along when listening to songs, since I'm usually drawing, doing housework, etc, while listening, but this one I sing along with every time.
Every Jonathan Young and Caleb Hyles collaboration is like the expendables movies, they always get every badass online singer in the universe. From Natewantstobattle to PalleK to Dan Vasc to (story time) Thomas Sanders. This is amazing!
I've listened to this song dozens of times and I've NEVER heard the 4 verse! It actually painted a more full image to the story. That aside, this was AMAZING and everyone was great
This is... just absolutely perfect! The start with the deeper voice was just a perfect build up then the middle with the more softer voices helped the song grow even more Then when all of you song together... well all I can say is I had goosebumps An excellent piece of music from you all! Thanks for sharing this!
This was breathtaking. I have listed to a lot of Dan's music but i have never heard him sing with so much power and feeling ❤ They are magical all together. 0:42
This song was in my recommendations yesterday... I listened to it at around 1pm while I was in the city with my boyfriend. An hour later I recieved a call from my mother that she found my older brother dead in the shower. He died at the same time I listened to this song. I'm not religious, but the song gave me the chills. Now I listen to this song on repeat the whole day. My brother would have loved this version of halleluja. I hope you can hear this in the afterlife, Peter.
@@crazypunkcat4880 So a blood clot broke loose and travelled in his bloodstream, only to block off one of the arteries in his lungs; and the fact he was only 34... Jesus Lisa Robin Kelly (Laurie Forman from That 70s Show) was only 43 when she died, but I'm glad your older brother Peter didn't die from a "multiple drug intoxication" unlike her; shortness of breath and chest pain do not mix with each other. Pray to Zeus that none of your children disrespect his death P.S: Just for the record I looked her name up because I thought she was the same age as him, turned out she was older than she looked when the show was on Hell, BlasphemousHD was surprised when he heard her death on Looper's "14 Actors You May Not Know are Dead"
@CrazyPunkCat I lost someone very close to me recently. A guy I only knew through an MMORPG and my parents who was an uncle to me. He hadn't been online due to undergoing an experimental cancer treatment that went south, so I hadn't gotten the chance to share this song with him. He was an Irishman, however, so I have a strong feeling he would've enjoyed this cover. Stay strong, my friend. Keep honoring your brother.
This was our grandmother's favorite song. Hearing her song sung like this has us in tears. The harmonization between all of you is beautiful. Thank you all.
This cover was absolutely gorgeous, and the harmonies at the end left me tearing up a bit. Everyone's voices stood out in their own way but also worked so well together: I'm just awestruck. Beautifully performed!
Well done guys! Many versions of this song are just so over the top that I can't stand listening. But this is perfect! Goosebumps everywhere. And Caleb at the end with all the emotions? A broken Hallelujah indeed!
I seriously need to listen to this today, because my family's two dogs just died within 4 days of each other. They both lived full lives, but we're all gonna miss them. And this song kinda helps, so thanks guys.
I quite enjoyed it, but I started to get amused when some of the singers pronounced "you" in full instead of rhyming it with the main word. "Ya/yah" applies to nearly every line-ending "you" in this piece, aside from the one that rhymes with "too". The last three singers definitely made this flub. I didn't notice it in the previous verses but I'm too tired to go double-check just now. A reminder, I suppose, that the little oddities and quirks don't keep a song from being a great pleasure to listen to. (I'm still amused at Dan Vasc pronouncing "Thompson" with a TH sound in Northwest Passage, which is such a badass rendition with just that little hint of quirk.)
No, no you can't do this to me Caleb, You can't bring these incredible and talented people singing one of my favorite songs and expect me to *not* to cry
This is hands down the BEST rendition of this song I have EVER heard. Way to beat out all the other pros guys!! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful, beautiful talents with us.

[Verse 3: Jonathan Young]
Maybe I've been here before
I know this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
[Verse 4: Thomas Sanders]
There was a time you 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
[Verse 5: Caleb Hyles]
Well, maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone 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
[Outro: All]
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Halleujah
Ty!!
Go'bless brother
I never realized how soft Thomas 's voice is before listening to him sing alongside strong and deep voices. It reminds me how light his voice is, honestly.
He was singing soft. He can do power vocals, and he's a baritone. It was a stylistic choice for the song.
@@WelcomeApathy yes, I know and I'm saying I never realized how soft he can be. /nm. I mean, I have listened to his songs and covers before. I just like how light his voice is in this cover.
Which one is Thomas? Im having a hard time telling.
@@talstales4868 I believe he’s the 4th person
He definitely has a more Broadway good boy voice. I like the contrast it gives to the others' voices that are more gravelly.
Im in tears
Same
Tu aqui cat oloko
Same
same my guy
Same the quality (and the song itself) is just *muah*
THE VERSE THOMAS SANG, I HAD NEVER HEARD IT BEFORE NOW- Sorry, this cover sent literal shivers down my spine and gave me so many endorphins....
Well, it's supposed to be "Holy Dove." It's not Dark or Duck, like he sang.
Same
@@JumboWatermelon I don’t think there is a “right” version of that verse. It’s been the holy dove, holy dark, and holy light alternatively. That fits with the spirit of the piece, though, because the piece is centered around the subjective emotional interpretation of the word “Hallelujah”. It’s different in different situations - means different things to different people - it’s more like an exclamation than anything else. It’s a much more abstract song, I think, than most people appreciate.
Honestly you should listen to the various versions of Hallelujah. I think I’ve heard at least 13 of them. I believe some people made their own verses. It’s really moving, and hearing everyone relate to it in their own way makes me feel connected to humanity.
I love that they did this piece in 5 parts with different artists. To me it’s become a piece that symbolizes the unity of the emotional experience of life.
@@AK-jt7kh I have heard a few of them, but the ones that have it use dove.
*listening to the majority of the song* : Damn, all these people are sooo good!
*when all five sing the final chorus* : They snatched my soul and sent it to another dimension!
The deepness of the voices...send shivers down my spine
And just like that...
*claps* I'm gayeee!!
Many of us have deep voices.
Only a few of us sound as nice as this with them.
SAME
@@chaoscontroller316 well the fact is singing is all about training practice and confidence for majority of if. To be a baritone or tenor is great but to utilize your voice is the same as any other instrument
@@Symbolic-Sky that is true, you could be naturally gifted and have a nice voice, but your technique can be horrible, it depends on how you use that voice
The deep voice on 0:50 seconds is really impressive! I'm just singing alone to this with my Alto female voice and here I am like omg... DAMN THAT DEEP!
I just stopped shocked 😳
Same!😂
Puberty hits everyone hard. Other than me.
Thats Colm R McGuiness
me burping be like:
he got good voice control
Thomas and Caleb collabing (with other amazing people too!) just started making me scream
I'm in a restaurant. I did the same.
MY JAW FUCKING DROPPED!
After i hear they group singing "The wellerman" and I saw this thumbnail... I didn't think twice before clicking
Gods, your collabs are always so... heavy? Intense? Epic? I don't know the word. You capture something in these that I just don't get from too many other collabs, big or small. When you rally the bois and I see that wonderful graphic light up with the vocals through the song, I'm near tears. Joy, beauty, sorrow, or pure astonishment, the tears are pure and I couldn't be happier about that. Thank you, all you wonderful gents for this wonder. And thanks as well to all the beautiful people listening to and supporting you guys with me. Godspeed, lads.
No words describe their Collabs.
Even in solemnity, we find the delights of cooperation are steeped with brevity, and a lightness that cannot be spoken, only heard.
Definitely epic
I think maybe you might be looking for the word "enrapturing".
Mesmerizing
I came here because of Dan Vasc, have never heard of the other performers.. Every one was wonderful, great harmony done by all. This was beautifully done.
I feel like Thomas Sanders is Loki in disguise. How can a man be so wildly talented all over and be able to deliver it perfectly
Yes
Eh, he’s much too sweet, but you’ve got a point!
Well, there is Janus.
@@azurewriter8347 Janus is too snakey to be Loki. I'd vote Remus, pure chaos incarnate.
@@torazely But there was that one time where Loki turned into a snake. Thor loved snakes so he picked it up to admired it. And then he turned back and was like 'Mrah, it's me!'. And then he stabbed him
As if the Wellerman, and Zero to Hero covers weren’t star studded enough now we have freakin Thomas Sanders and Dan Vasc, this is the best year for collabs!
I came here because of Dan Vasc and it was worth it. Great collaboration and it was a pleasure. From 0:53 - 1:38 wow. Dan fans know what I'm talking about ♥️🤟
Yes we do, love are Dan
I couldn’t be the only one who waited for the *“I heard there was a special place where men could go and emancipate”* and I remembered this was a cover of the real version of Hallelujah and the voices legitimately and softly brought me to a dimension that I never knew that existed and felt the voices touch my heart that gave me goosebumps!✨💖
oh my god yeah... mcyt brainrot ooh boy
Bruuhhh... I was expecting that too but then I realized it's the hallelujah original lyrics and not L'Manberg National anthem >.
Glad I'm not the only one thinking that lol
LMAOOOO
YEP! Me too!
I said, aloud, “Huuh, dude!” when I read the words “hallelujah” and “Thomas Sanders” for this collab. Let’s go! This is already perfection. I can feel it.
This was my grandmother's favorite song. She passed away back in April, and this came out briefly before what would be her 81st birthday.
Needless to say, I cried a bit.
Well done.
I'm sorry for your loss
I'm sorry, I'm sure she's watching over you now 🤗
I'm so sorry for your loss but don't worry she's in a better place now!
So Sorry for your loss But She will be Listening to This Forever in Heaven.
I just want to point out that these guys have amazing bands that have been over shadowed by their cover careers, but should be recognized for great ORIGINAL music.
Caleb Hyles is in FROM THE DARK
Dan Vasc is in FEARLESS
Jonathan Young is in GALACTIKRAKEN.
All of them are outstanding power metal bands, all unsigned.
I should mention I don't know the other singers, they may have original projects, as well.
Galactikraken is less a band and more Jon creating an in-universe band to say they made the songs. It's entirely his own show
@@aragorn767 I can help with Thomas! I'm a HUGE fan of Thomas so-
He has original songs such as On The Borderline, The Things We Used to Share, AND! He also has his own youtube series with original songs in there! Not to mention he has his own musical written by him and his fans and it's really good!! All of the people in the musical are his friends too they all participate in it. He's also done spinoffs of disney songs cause he loves Disney! He's made a disney villain mashup, and a lot of other mash ups. He has an original song dedicated to Disney called A Gay Disney Prince and he collabed with Jon Cozart in that video. And he has a song all about mental health but in a happy way called Recipe For Me!
So Thomas as a LOT of original content. He has 24 if I remember right or I might be miscounting and there's more.
Which! I do strongly suggest checking out his content he makes a lot of content with his friends, lgbtq+ q&a's, songs obviously, and a lot more. And not to mention that show I mentioned! It's called Sanders Sides and I'm obsessed with it cause it's so good he's a great actor.
Caleb did work for the soundtrack of RWBY Volume 7, Ironwood's theme, "Hero" is entirely his vocals I believe.
THANK U
This was a real touch of nostalgia for me
Back in about 2009, I sang this on stage at a varity show with my grandfather playing the saxophone and a family friend playing the piano. My grandfather was a beautiful saxophone player and was entirely self taught and could learn a song by ear in a matter of a couple days. He passed away almost 4 years ago now, so this was a nice little walk down memory lane for me
so sorry for your loss. i lost my grandad to COVID over a year ago now (April 2020) and it's been very hard, even not seeing his face or hearing his voice.
@@diamond_dude1011 I feel for you, my friend and I am sorry for your loss as well. It took me about 6 months to accept my grandfathers death and move on when it happened, and the only reason I was able to move on in that time frame was due to meeting my partner, otherwise I don't know if I would be over his death today.
It can take a lot of time to fully process a death, especially when you're close to them. Just take it day by day ❤
@@SappyDuder Thank you
Damn thats beautiful, be strong man, grandpa is surely keeping an eye at you from above
@@SappyDuder i'm sorry for your loss. My grandfather passed when i was 9. When my mom gave me his ring i started crying and locked myself in my room because i couldn't believe he's gone. Took me i think a year or 2 to accept that he's gone
I like to imagine this is like a group of guys bonding in a bar over being sad, like in a musical
like i can see it in a move where each guy had something happen and now they are crying over beers with buddies.
Colm is a musician, he had a partner and they had a big show together, but they (the partner) just wanted the glory and ditched him as soon as they got some recognition
Dan just got out of a very unhealthy relationship, but still misses them
Jonathan lost his partner, they died in war, and he just got the news
Thomas just got out of a very healthy relationship, and misses them
Caleb had gotten into a big fight with someone he really cares for, and doesn't know if he can ever fix the relationship.
like i know what the actual song is about, im just having fun :D
Damn that's.......sad but beautiful.
This.... does put a smile on my face.
That's a very moving interpretation.
They have the vocal talent. Now they just need to find someone to animate a show that might just blow Hazbin Hotel out of the boat
@@jarlairess that's not gonna happen
0:46 that "-jah" at the end of Hallelujah got so deep it hit a part of my ear that has never been hit before, damn that's an experience.
Amazing cover
Congrats on finding your first bass voice lmao
@@thisiswrathspeaking2057as someone who's been singing in a choir before, ive heard bass voices many times before lol, just found that note really deep. Deeper than I'm used to hearing and I'm impressed by how deep he could go. :)
@@DorianIanvarius oh, I see I see
Well if you want more of those types of voices, you could look up Geoff Castellucci and Tomi P. They're both great bass singers!
The singer for this part was Colm McGuiness
Colm's range goes quite high too btw
Dang. I knew Thomas could sing, but I didn't know he could SING! Very impressive, guys.
Out of everyone in the collab, that was the biggest surprise, and an overwhelmingly pleasant one. His voice is _gorgeous._
when they all harmonized together i got literal chills- like all the hairs on my arms literally stood up 👏🏼 amazing job
Ikr?!
Single tear came out when they harmonized
Yeah sure :/
😊
I did not know about Colm McGuinness or Dan Vasc before this song but now I must look up all their music… The RICHNESS in Colm’s voice and the SOUL in Dan’s absolutely hooked me… and then Jonathan, Thomas, and Caleb simply blew me away as they always dear lord this was exactly what I needed before bed tonight 😭💗💗💗
I will warn you that once you get sucked into Dan Vasc’s channel, it may take over your entire playlist. 😆 Dude can’t make a bad cover!
@@SpaceNinja321 I don't know if there is anything that he can't sing
Dan Vasc cover of Mulan Is so damn good
I only knew Colm and Dan before... I'll check out the others now 😅🤣
Thomas sanders and Caleb doing a collab together is a dream come true 🥺❤️
I love your profile pic in combination with your username. 10/10
This version has made me love this song again. My ex is in prison for 40 years. He loved this song. I couldn't stand hearing it until now. Its a beautiful song. I've slowly been reclaiming the things that gave me joy before things changed. Thank you for helping, all of you
Beautiful cover Caleb & Friends! Can’t wait to hear the Waluigi version!
There already is
Omg the 5 beautifuler metal/acapella singers of the internet joining forces to deliver a LITERALLY holy cover... So glad to see Dan Vasc, Colm and Thomas join the Jonhatan/Caleb circle, you guys are just gathering talents all around the glob, making them exist. That's wonderful and humble, cause have to be honest, you both already are Talents at the point you can support other talents. And on their way, those other talents supports you as well. You guys are wonderful, and even more together
Nicely Put, their voices give me goosebumps.
HAIL! To the great Dan Vasc! Everyone did great on this collaboration cover
Okay the moment I saw Thomas was in this vid i never went to a video so fast in my life and I WAS NOT DISSAPOINTED! U ALL WERE AMAZING!! Also Colm...HOW CAN A MAN HAVE THAT DEEP OF A VOICE?!😳
His voice is insanely deep it’s so deep that it even amazes Tim from Homefree
EXACTLY
@@fhs2013cb Like this is the first time i heard him sing and I WAS NOT READY!
@@wa6488 YEAH!
Same
Dan Vasc brings that Heavy Metal power to whatever he touches, somehow making it go well even with a beautiful ballad like this. Huge respect and great job to everyone!
THAT HARMONIZING AT THE END GAVE ME LITERAL CHILLS! BRAVO GENTLEMEN, BRAVO!!
Absolutely beautiful. First Wellerman, then the Sisters, then the Gospel, then Dynamite, now this. Think I'm in heaven.
EDIT: Whoa, that's a lot of likes! Thanks. God bless you all.
You missed the Dynamite Collab with Amanda, Christina, OR3O, and Jayney
@@goldencyclone4984 Oops, I missed one.
God isn’t real
The chorus at the end is simply angelic. From the buttery smooth and heart melting voice of Colm, to the soul and passion of Dan, to almost a competition of the bassists in Jonathan, to the unexpected beauty in Thomas Sanders' voice, to the well known and yet, still surprising vocal range of Caleb, to the angel's serenading us all to internal peace for just a few minutes of relaxation, before the video ends. Simply beautiful. Great job fellas, keep on rocking it
The ending harmony is possibly the best thing my ears have ever heard
Am I in heaven?
Are those angels singing?
We are all blessed to hear these angel-like voices yalls.
This is so, so beautiful, but I can't help but miss the two verses from Cohen's original...two of the best ever written, in my opinion.
I'd have killed to hear you guys sing "there's a blaze of light in every word/it doesn't matter which you heard/the holy or the broken Hallelujah". As for hearing "and even though it all went wrong/I'll stand before the lord of song/with nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah" from any of you, it would probably have led to my spontaneous combustion.
That's why they had to skip those verses, it's against UA-cam TOS to make viewers spontaneously combust.
First it's these 3 amazing dark, low voices, then there's our Angel, Thomas 🥰 and then this beautiful raspy voice. But when they all came together, man I got chicken skin all over 🤗💕✨️
You guys did such a good I'm playing this at my wedding!!
Maybe not a song to play at a wedding lol
“Love is not a victory march, it’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah”
“There was a time you let me know what’s really going on below but now you never show it to me, do you”
“The only thing I learned from love was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you”
@@datdude888 This is why I love "the sound of silence" so much, most people these days are just interested in catchy pop songs without caring about the story told or emotions communicated (or lack there of).
Unlike a lot of older people who just want to complain about younger generations in general, I'm not saying that some artists don't try, but that the industry is based on money and therefore consistent success, which is just not how the creative process works for most people.
Sorry I'm ranting.
@@datdude888 agreed! It is not a happy love/wedding song if you listen to the lyrics. It is beautiful though
I've definitely seen this song requested for a wedding ceremony more than once, both the Leonard Cohen and Beyonce versions, and I still don't really understand why. I think people just like the harmony and tune, without listening to the lyrics.
@@SilentPsychopath also the fact it was the wedding theme in Shrek
Everyone is hitting notes I didn't knew existed! Love the avatars, they're super stylish.
The Tale Of The Famed 5 Suits:
Upon your walk around the old theatre, you start hearing singing.
You yell out, "Who's there?!"
The voice just kept singing. The one voice grew into 2, then into 3, then 4, and lastly 5. All singing im parts and eventually synchronization. You peer onto the stage to see 5 ghostly men in suits singing to a faded crowd of the dead. Theres no fear in you, but there is a calming feeling and joy.
When the ghosts stopped singing they bowed and disappeared. Along with their departure the ghostly crowd clapped while slowly disappearing. As the room finally went silent you go to stand on the stage looking around.
You smile and go back to your duty now realising that nothing bad is there, but only the ghosts of the past continuing their performance.
If you guys ever made a band, call yourselves "The Cover Kings".
Colm McGuinness will forever be the greatest bass in the world. Ginger gang
idk about that lol, he's amazing though
Dudes hitting notes like he's sucking Sulfer Hexaflouride
I don't always sing along when listening to songs, since I'm usually drawing, doing housework, etc, while listening, but this one I sing along with every time.
Thomas Sanders, Caleb Hyles, and Jonathan Young all in one video?? Is this heaven?
I HOPE SO
Every Jonathan Young and Caleb Hyles collaboration is like the expendables movies, they always get every badass online singer in the universe. From Natewantstobattle to PalleK to Dan Vasc to (story time) Thomas Sanders. This is amazing!
Hallelujah is one of the greatest songs ever written, and this is definitely one of the best versions of it.
HOLY AVENGERS ASSEMBLE...!!! What a crew!
This was absolutely amazing to listen to! Hallelujah indeed~ 💕✨🌈
This is a great example of “A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.”
Seriously, this was pretty good. You guys were amazing here. Very nice.
Hallelujah is one of my fav songs, no matter who's singing or the tone it's always a masterpiece
I've listened to this song dozens of times and I've NEVER heard the 4 verse! It actually painted a more full image to the story. That aside, this was AMAZING and everyone was great
Can I give the harmnizing a 10/10 for being a show choir kid I think it sounds amazing
Oh wow.... Dan did great.... ❤
They all did... awesomeness
This took my breath away!! All of your voices blend so well together!
This is... just absolutely perfect!
The start with the deeper voice was just a perfect build up then the middle with the more softer voices helped the song grow even more
Then when all of you song together... well all I can say is I had goosebumps
An excellent piece of music from you all! Thanks for sharing this!
This was breathtaking. I have listed to a lot of Dan's music but i have never heard him sing with so much power and feeling ❤ They are magical all together. 0:42
Second is Dan.
Everyone: *sings one at a time*
Me: their voices are so beautiful
Everyone: *sings at once*
Me: *A S C E N D S*
This song was in my recommendations yesterday... I listened to it at around 1pm while I was in the city with my boyfriend. An hour later I recieved a call from my mother that she found my older brother dead in the shower. He died at the same time I listened to this song. I'm not religious, but the song gave me the chills. Now I listen to this song on repeat the whole day. My brother would have loved this version of halleluja. I hope you can hear this in the afterlife, Peter.
This may be breaching confidentiality, but did you find out the cause of death?
@@rhodesdrakethenieliii3209 It was a pulmonary embolism, a quick and almost painless death. He was only 34 years old...
@@crazypunkcat4880 So a blood clot broke loose and travelled in his bloodstream, only to block off one of the arteries in his lungs; and the fact he was only 34... Jesus
Lisa Robin Kelly (Laurie Forman from That 70s Show) was only 43 when she died, but I'm glad your older brother Peter didn't die from a "multiple drug intoxication" unlike her; shortness of breath and chest pain do not mix with each other. Pray to Zeus that none of your children disrespect his death
P.S: Just for the record I looked her name up because I thought she was the same age as him, turned out she was older than she looked when the show was on
Hell, BlasphemousHD was surprised when he heard her death on Looper's "14 Actors You May Not Know are Dead"
@CrazyPunkCat I lost someone very close to me recently. A guy I only knew through an MMORPG and my parents who was an uncle to me. He hadn't been online due to undergoing an experimental cancer treatment that went south, so I hadn't gotten the chance to share this song with him. He was an Irishman, however, so I have a strong feeling he would've enjoyed this cover. Stay strong, my friend. Keep honoring your brother.
This was our grandmother's favorite song. Hearing her song sung like this has us in tears. The harmonization between all of you is beautiful. Thank you all.
This cover was absolutely gorgeous, and the harmonies at the end left me tearing up a bit. Everyone's voices stood out in their own way but also worked so well together: I'm just awestruck. Beautifully performed!
I read sanders and I was like wait Thomas sanders?
It’s so cool y’all know each other! You two are some of my favorite singers
It’s weird to hear Jonathon singing so seriously! I almost didn’t recognize him at first. Well done!
Rest In Peace Leonard Cohen........ Amazing Tribute.👍👍👍
Thomas's Part Makes me say "Whoa Its so Beautiful this Part." 😌
When i first herd this song i started to cry
Strangely, I always think of the Apostles when I hear this:
James, Andrew, Peter, John, Paul.
Caleb, Jonathan, Thomas, Colm, AND Dan?! .... Welp, time to cry XD
The harmony at the end was spectacular
Well done guys! Many versions of this song are just so over the top that I can't stand listening. But this is perfect! Goosebumps everywhere. And Caleb at the end with all the emotions? A broken Hallelujah indeed!
As a fan of all 5, this was a delight. God bless you all.
@Christian Iulian Amen!!
I seriously need to listen to this today, because my family's two dogs just died within 4 days of each other. They both lived full lives, but we're all gonna miss them. And this song kinda helps, so thanks guys.
PERFECTION! Absolute perfection! Everyone sang beautifully. These crossovers just keep on getting better.
I quite enjoyed it, but I started to get amused when some of the singers pronounced "you" in full instead of rhyming it with the main word. "Ya/yah" applies to nearly every line-ending "you" in this piece, aside from the one that rhymes with "too".
The last three singers definitely made this flub. I didn't notice it in the previous verses but I'm too tired to go double-check just now.
A reminder, I suppose, that the little oddities and quirks don't keep a song from being a great pleasure to listen to. (I'm still amused at Dan Vasc pronouncing "Thompson" with a TH sound in Northwest Passage, which is such a badass rendition with just that little hint of quirk.)
I… I’m speechless! This is a cover that needs to be put into a museum.
One of the few songs
which can be described as an actual masterpiece.
God everyone has such distinct voices it's amazing.
That’s a lot of UA-camrs, thank for this masterpiece!
The singing of Thomas oh my goodness!!!!
No, no you can't do this to me Caleb,
You can't bring these incredible and talented people singing one of my favorite songs and expect me to *not* to cry
I can pretty solidly say this is my new comfort song which means I'll listen to it 20+ times a day for at least a month.
BEAUTIFUL, GENTLEMEN!
This is hands down the BEST rendition of this song I have EVER heard. Way to beat out all the other pros guys!! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful, beautiful talents with us.
Oh my god, the harmonies on the last refrain...
Literal shivers. Beautiful.
Why did this make me cry 😭
It's so beautiful
The end had me teary eyed, that group "Hallelujah" hit different
