I'm just a grumpy ol' desert cat in the remote desert of northwestern Utah, but I was moved to tears hearing this. I taped it on a little recorder, then played it repeatedly as I watched a magnificent sunset.When the sun slipped below the craggy horizon I had to whisper, "Hallelujah, I made it another day past my 64 years." Thanks Morgan. Your voice is proof that God is sometimes extraordinarily benevolent.

This is really wonderful. What I love about it is how RESTRAINED this version is. This song gets sung by everyone who can remotely manage it, but it's so easy to over-sing it and make it into a rooftop proclaimation. It's written very quiet, restrained: it's almost a meditation. Ms James is technically perfect, as she basically always is. But what I love best is how well she understands this song, and gives it the quiet, deep performance it deserves. From the peaceful guitar to the blue stage lighting, this one's perfect.

One thing I Iove about her (other than her technical perfection) is the inflections she puts in her songs. You can hear it in her Dream On as well, it sounds like she's having an actual a conversation with another person instead of just singing into the void. I think that adds so much personality to her performances.

@@bradhuskers Leonard Cohen's rendition of his work was far from mediocre. While there are limits to his voice (particularly in the higher registers), the music composition of the song does not challenge the vocal range of a singer unless you are taking verses up or down an octave. I agree with you that other more talented vocalists have covered the song better, but Cohen's raspy bass tone is very capturing. And to appreciate his rendition of the song is not a measure of one's IQ

@Jeffrey Matter And I most surely do appreciate his version. Certain artists can routinely turn the words of other writers into critically acclaimed masterpieces in the studio. Frank Sinatra, Ray charles, elvis presley, Ella Fitzgerald, etc...etc...have done this on numerous occasions. Elton John explained that the most difficult thing in music is to interpret the words of another writer into a critically acclaimed masterpiece. These iconic ARTISTS did that remarkable feat ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. just let that unthinkable reality sink in for a minute.

I'm very impressed at how you can see the story progression on Morgans facial expressions. How she tells the story of the song so vividly just through her text rendition and mimic. That is rare to see these days where everything is expressed through scene shows and visual effects. And big props to the instuments for matching the rise and falls in intensity so perfectly. As I stated in the begining: A VERY well made cover!

Some who are familiar with Leonard Cohen's poetry say this song is about sex. Kind of amusing to see it played in churches.

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written BUT most people don't know what it means or are confused by the title... because "Hallelujah" is Hebrew for "Praise to Yah/God..." because of your grace, majesty, love, etc. thank you. But this is a sensual/secular "Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all" song, and that is what he means when he sings "Hallelujah." He invokes Old Testament imagery from David and Samson to illustrate being broken by a woman... not an evil woman, but he is so in love/obsessed with her, he is putty in her hand, and excepts his fate, because in the end the ordeal was worth it... so, "Thank you, God... Hallelujah!"

This song is by Leonard Cohen, not Jeff Buckley. Buckley is one of hundreds of artists who also covered it. Morgan sings it brilliantly here.

maybe the original is, but this one is clearly jeff buckleys version of the song. the lyrics arent even the same after verse 2, or did you just hear the first verse and deemed it enough?

Re-watching this after a while. The way Morgan and Doug just quietly watch the harpist, honoring her music while they wait for their parts. Gorgeous.

Thanks for singing the “dirty” verse: “There was a time you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show it to me, do you? And I remember when I moved in you And the holy dove she was moving too And every single breath we drew was Hallelujah”

This is a classy trio. The electric guitarist holding back and harpist so delicately plucking and the vocals are pretty and we all know you held some back - this is so pretty! Thank you

Jeff Buckley made the best cover of this song ever, and my uncle Rollie connected the dots for me back in 1997. I miss you Rollie. I owe you.
