John & Lindsey (Skeye) cover Jeff Buckley's rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" from Jeff's album, "Grace."

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...

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...

baby i've been here before
i've seen 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...

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

well, maybe there's a god above
but all i've ever learned from love
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
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...

10 years later and in still captivated

[dlawless]

Been coming back to this video every so often for 10+ years; it still just pauses my life for a few minutes of flawlessness.

Not many voices can pierce your soul. her voice Does.

[karlos]

On youtube for 10 years now but still the best cover song I have ever heard.

[TenSecondSongs]

Covers of this song are a dime a dozen and it's really tough to stand out with this one. However, this is a very special performance and there's an energy there that is pure. Gorgeous, guys. Really.

[Laxer]

I find myself coming back to this cover year after year. I'm so thankful this moment in time was captured. Thank you both.

[raimondspadaro]

Today i need to hear this song. It still stands as the best rendition i have ever heard. Leonard would be touched by it.

[altpropaganda]

This is the best cover you have never heard of…❤

[donbirak]

In my opinion, the is much very right about this version - in a stairwell with soaring vocals and that understated, crystal clear electric guitar. Thank you.

[caseymorrow]

Yesterday I saw my ex wife with her boyfriend for the first time. I still love her...we used to listen to this song together and she showed me this video...this song always makes me feel like we're together again. Lame as it sounds... I miss my best friend.

The Most Dynamic, Beautiful, rendition of this Most Beautiful Song Ever

[namastay]

I’m gonna keep coming back. forever a classic and my favorite version.

[Rustyshack]

This is the best cover of Hallelujah I've ever found and I've searched for years. In my opinion this song hits the hardest when it's sung by a woman with a powerful voice like yours. Just brilliant ❤

[madmax-dirm]

man that guitar is fantastic the same as the ladies voice, , , , thank you

[FlyRiverFly]

If I said I watched it 50 times, I would be shorting the actual number. This is the best version of Hallelujah I have ever heard. That is saying a lot

[queun]

This has been covered by way too many amateurs on YouTube and I've probably waded through 200 of them.  This is hands down the best one there will ever be.  The adjective for that voice does not exist.

[mizzysparrots]

I swear the 1 million views was all from just me, lol. I seriously come back to this video many times a week. Its calming, beautiful, and just nice to listen to. I also love how she throws her head back during the chorus ;) lol

[aljolson]

Only the best ever cover, done with real feeling beautiful

[xarxos]

For many years I always felt like this song had great potential to be incredibly powerful and beautiful, but despite listening to any and all covers I could find I never found any which truly lived up to the potential I felt the song had. They always fell short in some aspect or another. That is, until I found this cover, which to this day remains my all-time favorite version of Hallelujah. It's just PERFECT. Thank you so much for this rendition, it has touched me deeply and been a comfort in some of my bleakest moments!

[SweenyTV]

Never heard a more beautiful cover of this, I hope you are still making music, together or not, your voice is beautiful and Angelic
