A Christmas version of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' that will give you chills!
“Hallelujah,” one of the Canadian-Jewish songwriter/singer’s most popular compositions, was penned in 1984 and quickly zoomed past fan-favorite territory to iconic. Plenty of crooners have recorded it, notably John Cale, Jeff Buckley and Rufus Wainwright — to say nothing of its striking gold in the animated film “Shrek” and its soundtrack album.
Among the modern artists to record “Hallelujah” is Cloverton, a Kansas-based band that performs Christian music. Last year, it rewrote the lyrics and released its own music video, which it titled “A Hallelujah Christmas.”
Vocalist Lance Stafford begins as he plays an upright piano before an audience of casually dressed people sitting in a homey-looking coffee shop.
“I’ve heard about this baby boy/Who’s come to Earth to bring us joy/And I just want to sing this song to you.”
The opening penned by Cohen, a Montreal native who’s now 80, goes:
“Now 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?”
Cloverton’s Christmas version of “Hallelujah” performed at a coffee shop is just perfect and awesome. They took over a busy coffee shop and when they started singing, everyone’s attention was on them. The place suddenly became quiet as everyone listened to the wonderful melody.
I’m a huge fan of Leonard Cohen classic “Hallelujah”, if you love it too then you will absolutely enjoy the Christmas version of the song. Cloverton took “Hallelujah” and re-created it with new words to transform it into a great Christmas melody that you’ll truly enjoy.
