Her version of Roy Orbison’s “Crying” is phenomenal too. Would love to see you do an analysis, maybe with both her version and Roy Orbison’s version. They’re both amazing and she references Roy’s version without imitating it, just paying tribute- by the time she’s done singing “Crying” you feel that she’s owned the song.

You are absolutely right. kd was on a tour in Australia, and sang 'Crying' on Australian TV 'the Midday Show' (around 1993), before a live audience of middle-aged, frumpy Aussies, who probably didn't even fully appreciate what she did. Challenged by the host to sing her signature song, she said she had not rehearsed it with the house band, wasn't ready, and then proceeded to blow it away in what I think may be her best rendition ever. If you haven't heard it, and you like her music, please, go listen and watch.

Phil of Wings of Pegasus is fantastic. He is most knowledgeable about music, music theory and music composition. He also is very good at presenting the artist we are listening to without frequently interpreting the performance. He gives his analysis and comments at critical points to explain what is going on with vocals and background music. I have come to appreciate so much from Phil’s reviews and analysis of performances of great artists.

KD Lang has a unique voice that moves like water, stretches a vocal line like taffy, and melts over the listener like butter. She has a mastery of the cry and slide and vibrato like no other. It's incredibly challenging to sing this way because it requires moving through multiple vocal registers with almost no disconnection. She's definitely inspired by Patsy Cline and has taken that style to another level with her incredible emotion, interpretation, and dynamic range. It all comes together to touch our heart in a deep unique way. She's a master of storytelling through song that makes every song she sings her own felt expression.

Cohen wrote a great psalm of praise

I thought of how you describe the "cry" in vocal performances and how it reaches so deep into our brains, when I read this today : "Human babies can call for help. It is all they can do. They can't run or stand or fight or hide. It's all they do for a long time. It's the first and most important human skill. This cry for help is a request, but it's also a declaration. It declares a biological faith in kindness." (The Cyrptonaturalist). No wonder we get goosebumps hearing KD Lang sing Hallelujah. Thanks for the awesome analysis!

@pbohearn 4 года назад

I’m gobsmacked! technically, MORE than Perfect because she refuses to sing the song the way we all know it perfectly. she sings HER song perfectly. And that song takes you to a place that I’ve not gone to in this a song before. She’s heartbroken, despairing, maybe even hateful, cynical. hallelujah isn’t always about joy, But it could be a cry of deep and intense pain, a condition of life. And I think it’s great that she brought it there because we don’t want to look at that side of life and how there’s so much of that in this with an invitation to touch it and feel it. So corageous. She really wanted to do that for us;she believed in the need to express that and for us to feel it too,and she brought it to us full on incredible no hesitation just full on so beautifully so hauntingly.

Another emotional performance of this song was when she sang it for Leonard Cohen at his induction into the Canadian Songwriters' Hall Of Fame, after which she bowed in front of him - her being an adherent of Tibetan Buddhism, and Cohen having spent 5 yrs in a Zen monastery. Notice her rather monastic flavoured garb in this performance.

He was kind of blown away by the power and beauty and range of her voice. Listen to her sing 3 Cigarettes. The cry and wail and spin of the full belted notes was chilling. The audience was kind of stunned. KD was androgynously beautiful then too. Her voice is astounding. Christ, her first hit song was the duet of CRYING with Roy Orbison.

Lang been gifted with a beautiful voice, but she is a true artist who uses her instrument to its fullest potential to speak to our hearts. The music and lyrics are pure poetry. As such, makes no literal sense but makes TOTAL sense emotionally. It speaks to how we often give give up personal power In relationships, the role of surrender in love and passion and how most of us are ill equipped to be in wholesome partnership with another, but still... have an aching longing for connection. The song, the performance... it’s a true masterpiece.

Her version is my ultimate favorite version. I always compare any other cover to this and they always come up short - so far. There was an artist on RU-vid and in the description it said it would make me cry. It was lovely but, nope no tears. K.D.s version always makes me cry… sensory overload! BTW when you were playing it, I KNEW you would mention the vibrato in a certain spot. You did! See, I’m learning!

I watched KD in a small club when she first started. She can rock and belt out the blues like no one else on top of the ballads she does so well, She was magnificent.

Pleased you did k.d. Lang, Fil. She really is a national treasure. Have you noticed that she moderates the power of her voice when singing with others, e,g, Elton John? She also adapts to the venue and audience, She did Hallelujah at the opening of the 2010 Olympics and held 50 odd thousand in the stadium so spellbound one could almost hear a pin drop(Vancouverite here). I prefer the more intimate settings but this was a good performance. Not too shabby for a gay vegetarian girl from cattle country. Enjoyed your analysis as always.

What great insight, highlighting each Hallelujah as a step in an emotional journey through musical technique. The song itself lends itself for a catharsis but to have it timed in this way, it's like watching a theater piece. That last note washes everything away. Superb insights Phil, thank you.

@rolflockwood1971 4 года назад

Might be your best analysis, Fil, though they're all mighty good. For what it's worth, I think this is by far the best cover of Hallelujah. I loved Cohen's own rendition though obviously they can't really be compared. Unpopular opinion here... I don't like Jeff Buckley's version very much at all, certainly not when we have k.d. lang's to enjoy.

@misspad7282 2 года назад

She is one of finest singers I have ever heard sing. I put her right next to Karen Carpenter. I never get tired of hearing k.d. lang sing.

@anneaires3984 4 года назад

K.D. Lang is a indeed one of Canada's national treasures! Your next door neighbors love her too! She's fabulous!!!!😊🇺🇸❤🍁

Ok, after that horrible mispronunciation of Anne Murray, you need to do a review of her songs, if you haven't already.

Neil Young was supposed to host this awards ceremony but unfortunately had his brain injury just prior to it. k.d Lang stepped up to replace him and started the show with a terrific cover of Helpless as a tribute to him. If you could, you should analyze that performance as well.

For me, there are three aspects to a musical recording to consider: 1) the songwriting 2) the technical performance and 3) the magic. Clearly, the songwriting is stellar, thanks to Leonard Cohen. The technical performance is amazing as Fil has explained. But the magic? You can't analyze this or quantify it and there is really no need to do so. Just stand back and let it be.

As both a guitarist and a recording engineer I have to point out you're missing a bit there. Otherwise I agree. ^-^

@reallymysterious4520 Год назад

I'm so glad you chose this version to react to because most people choose other versions of hers - this is BY FAR the most intense emotional version she has ever done - it makes me cry each time - it is so powerful - cheers to you my friend from Toronto Canada - home of RUSH, KD Lang and so many more great artists !

@SuperZytoon 4 года назад

The absolute top version. Loved Jeff Buckley’s version, as well. RIP

@aylbdrmadison1051 4 года назад

My fave is Jeff's version (talk about being taken away from us too soon), but I still can't blame anyone for liking KD's version more.

@annsidbrant7616 9 месяцев назад

k.d. lang's performance of "Halleluja" was amazing. Thank you for the fine analysis video.

@annsidbrant7616 9 месяцев назад

I should have been more enthusiastic about the analysis. It was great, and hugely interesting!

@michaelogden5958 4 года назад

kd's "Constant Craving" is an astounding piece of music in my opinion. Yes, heavily "produced" but still... Cheers!

@antigonevacratsis4860 4 года назад

Also covered Neil Youngs Helpless this night as he was ill. No preparation and a masterpiece

@dee_dee_place 3 года назад

This particular performance by K. D. Lang (the acoustics) really highlighted her tremendous, angelic voice. THIS is how Leonard Cohen thought his song should be sung. I found out he was at a performance where K. D. Lang sang this song & he smiled all the way through her rendition. They are two of Canada's greatest contributions to the music world! FYI- Cohen said he actually wrote about 80 different stanzas for this song. He is the only person who sang an alternative stanza in the song.

@indierockyhockey Год назад

This is gorgeous...though I feel Jeff Buckley's version of this song is what artists emulate 💚💚💚

@cos2mer2 4 года назад

Thank you! Thank you! Fil, for giving KD the attention she deserves. She is the ultimate performer of this beautiful song. Nonstop chills here....

@nadinerogers5653 3 года назад

She is so amazing. I learned something new from you- I never heard of the "cry" technique before. I also love how she almost yodels when she flips into her head voice sometimes. It's so hard to do that well and she does it effortlessly. A good example is when she sings Full Moon of Love. I think everyone jumped on the Hallelujah bandwagon after they heard Jeff Buckley sing it, because he mastered it and made it amazing. I am actually sick of this song but there are still two versions I love. Jeff Buckley and this one, by k.d. lang. Great video. Thanks, Fil! I would love to see you do an analysis of some Jeff Buckley!

@charlesmcgehee3227 2 года назад

A performance like this, so appreciated by the audience must bring the performer such pride and a feeling that they have just done something so beautiful. Nice that you didn't need bother with the pitch display Fil.

@judyderi2614 2 года назад

"Hallelujah" is K.d. Lang's, as 1965 performance of "Unchained Melody" is Bobby Hatfield's, as "Over the Rainbow" is Judy Garland's , as Disturb's new version of "Sound of Silence" is David Draimen's; such amazing voices. I also love K.d. Lang's duets with other singers. Love, love her!

@truthsticks5900 9 месяцев назад

Your beautiful smile while listening to her just says everything of what I love about her

@alicehardy9094 2 года назад

I'm in US & LOVE KD. I saw a program where Leonard Cohen (author) said KD owns his song I have to agree wholeheartedly! First time I heard KD was on an old Austin City Limits. Just that one song so long ago made me search for her. ❤ you. KD!

@stevebarton5176 2 года назад

kd lang is THE greatest living vocalist(singer) of our time, when she is gone- only then will this be realized fully, sadly, ....there is nobody better

@EmmaGS 2 года назад

Revisiting this because she is amazing and your analysis is so spot on. Please consider using your pitch analysis software to do a segment on her live rendition of "Crying" at Roy Orbison's tribute from 1990. It's stunning but I think it would be fascinating to see her voice plotted. Sry forgot to add, not sure if you need this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QgGLC3JLTuY.html

@lauriebowman6979 3 года назад

Have always thought KD Lang had an incredible voice. When she sang this at the Vancouver Winter Olympics I think you could've heard a pin drop in the place....that performance gave me goosebumps.

@elizabethleyden892 2 года назад

Thanks for this. One of my favourite RU-vid clips and my favourite rendering of this song. And her wonderful smile at the end ...

@karynlouisa3771 9 месяцев назад

She was born to sing this masterpiece. Her artistry and emotion is just mesmerizing, it draws you in so completely, and time stands still. Top 5 live vocal performances of all time.

@lawrencetaylor4101 3 года назад

I respect Leonard Cohen and never listen to this song anymore. But I wanted to watch kd do this and your anaylsis since this can only be done by angels. And it was. And when you do song analyses, you stop it as soon as the song is over. But here you let it play. You appreciated this rightfully and did kd respect, as well as Patsy Kline. Bravo. And Brava.

@JDoors 2 года назад

Very few singers have a voice so wonderful, it can touch your soul. kd lang is one of them.

@priscillachung-hacker5923 4 года назад

Absolutely stupendous Canadian singer! In my opinion, she is so underrated. Those who know and love her talent; well, we certainly appreciate her wonderful vocals. Fil, I enjoyed your analysis very much. Thank you. I am now a subscriber and look forward to more great songs/analysis from you.
