Took my breath. He understood that Leonard Cohen wasn’t singing to God on a Sunday morning. He was crying out at 3 am. That time when you wake with dread in your throat.
3am is a time of great prayer. Its a calling only few receive to alone time with God. It’s believed that this was the hour Jesus would pray to our Father. It’s always said He would go off to pray in the early morning!!! I’m blessed (not worthy) to rise at 3am. I cherish every min I get this time with Him. God bless 🕊💜🕊
Finally someone gets it, especially if someone is covering jeffs version of the lyrics the song must be filled with sadness and regret, it should not be uplifting
Wow, I am tingling, that was so hauntingly beautiful. I have heard my singers perform Hallelujah but Jeff Buckley ( God Bless Him wherever he went when he left this world) performed better than anyone else iIMO.. I love the caress of the guitar strings with his beautiful vocals melding. Thank you Jeff for sharing your gift with us.
I cannot believe I've never heard this before! I can't believe this version isnt widely known, and played all over the world! No matter if there's a mess up or not, it is an amazing version, if for nothing more than the guitar in the intro. Man! It goes right straight to my heart, and then in to my soul. I know it was a while ago but Thank You so much for posting this! 💜💙💚
Maybe stretching it a fuzz . While I absolutely, throughly enjoyed this rendition I don't feel I was conected on an other level , I feel more of a connection on an other level when listening to Rufus Wainwright's version . You have to use his own c'est la vie. Not everyone's heart beats the same . Ones beautiful melody is an others sappy, corny, slow & boring song . I think he does a good job though some of the vocals are a tad overdone I still think it's great . My friends think it sucks . I'm surrounded by Philistines.
@@Mr.CliffysWorld I only recently discovered Jeff. He and I would be about the same age, if he lived. I’ve been listening to Rufus Wainrwright’s versions for years. I am not an aficionado of music , I just like what I like. I think Rufus has a very nasal quality to his voice, a lazy way of singing. In some recordings I think he’s going to fall asleep. Jeff’s voice is crystal clear, he covers octaves with ease, I feel his vocal and guitar embellishments make this song “his”. Each time he sings , it is slightly different and equally beautiful.
This has been on my channel for years. It’s an outtake from the recordings of the album Grace. This was one of many versions recorded. He stops and starts over again because he “made a mistake”.
I love how these comments are on a 2 year old comment but their from only two weeks ago, shows me people still come here and listen to this mans beautiful expression of self.
@@5y9h3r Of course we do. i listen to his musique since 1994. and i hear that version for the first time, and i know that somewhere. more treasures will appear.
I’m at 30 years to this exact month… literally… laying in bed, eyes closed, headphones on, and still go to this song, these emotions that it evokes, and I always feel like I’ve been closer to angels. God bless him🙌🏽🙏🏽
That has to be a Facebook first or RU-vid first you spelled Crystal wrong and nobody corrected you. Wow this is unheard of you officially win the internet for this post congratulations here's your trophy 🏆
Mine too…. This many years later… I close my eyes and turn on my headphones… it’s 2024… I was first introduced to him in 1994 living abroad in Australia where he had a serious unheard of (media-spotlight) incredible loyal fan base. The show in Melbourne sold out in minutes… 1000,s of us drove and stood outside the venue to be close, sing along, and it was like nothing I ever experienced… 30 years later to the month even. Just wow. I knew where I was driving, the moment in 1997 his death came over the radio…. I literally pulled my car over in shock & then just cried… What a precious gift🙌🏽🙏🏽
I first heard this in a movie called "vinter Kys " . A Kiss in Winter. I believe it was Norwegian. The song will never die. Mister Cohen was immortal!!
voix cristalline, guitare au top il n y a rien de mieux . Pourquoi est-il parti Tous les meilleurs, parte toujours. il y a la loi des 27 mais aussi des 30.
Sofia Noiti Hi! I always see your comments in videos about Jeff Buckley hahaha :) About your question, I don't know why he stop and repeat the verse, maybe because this version was one of the many takes that he use from the final Hallelujah version. This is the blog where I find this: blonderazorblade.blogspot.cl It's called "without you and I" Sorry for my English I'm from Chile hahaha, greetings :)
@@themajesticstick5262 Yes I read every word Thankyou! I do know about MK ultra I’ve studied it quite a bit over the years. I can’t believe I didn’t know about him until yesterday! I was blown away and I looked him up and I about cried when I learned he died at 30. But the story doesn’t ring true to me. I immediately thought of the smiley face serial killings, young men targeted and they end up floating in rivers dead. I also thought perhaps he did not go along with the industry ‘requirements’ to move up- the rituals, pedophelia and sacrifices. So. Perhaps they killed him for it. Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington... I’m going to do more investigation about this. Thankyou so much for all you’ve shared with me. RIP Jeff 💔.
