I was there and left a changed person. What an incredible experience to share with a room full of strangers.

[@lovawilson5791]

My special needs younger son sang voluntarily at our church’s Christmas Eve party when no one else volunteered!! Pastor quickly helped w/piano n supported his valiant courage n mom also sang together…! Melting everyone

If Leonard Cohen were still alive, I’d imagine this would bring a tear to his eye. Beautifully done ❤

[@vindicator05]

Pretty sure it DID bring a tear to his eye, although he is not alive anymore but watching from above 😋

[@DebWeyburn]

500 plus 1+(everyone watching it) I watched last night and right now! Singing with you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@stlouielaurie392]

+2! Me too. I loved singing with choirs. Wish I could find one again.

[@elizabethrush-wright2332]

I found this yesterday morning. I was the 47th person to watch it. I sent it to many people and they sent it to others. It was a beautiful day all day and I thank you for that day. You were all amazing. I want to sing in one of these choirs. I’m still watching it and singing it. It’s on my tongue. I live in Allen, Texas. We have a small event center. We also have a beautiful park. Celebration Park. Really nice outdoor setting. I wish you’d come this direction. I’m sure you’d attract a following. I’m doing my best to get this video out. I know it’s in Greece because I sent it to a friend. Simply beautiful.

[@joannamitchell2396]

This makes me weep. What a gorgeous rendition.

[@KathalynPokley]

Amazing and so beautiful. Thank you.

[@adelaferreira4575]

[@judgeroybean6930]

This beautiful song/ hymn has a way of "gelling" people together and the descant sounds really special and effective. Congrats, hope everyone involved 5 years ago are well and still singing.

[@Friedfoodie]

Wonderful!

[@kathrynalexander2882]

Loved this. I would've recognized my fellow Seattle people even without the title to tell me. How does one get in on one of these recordings?! What a memory.

[@marciadash798]

This was wonderful to watch

[@mariewyman3094]

This is very beautiful. Well done.

[@LainDouji]

Estoy emocionada hasta las lágrimas 🥹💘💝💖💗💓💞💕🩷

[@RamNarayan93]

Just stunningly beautiful. How I wish I could be part of something like this. Wish C!C!C! can come to India.

[@clarkmike0723]

[@annef1682]

Awesome! 👏 ❤

[@twofeathersjodie]

I have now seen everything, i don't need to see anything else.🥰🙏

[@wordwoman4349]

Do you ever come to Wisconsin? Madison, for instance, would most probably bring out a large and enthusiastic assemblage of singers. 🎶🎶🎶

[@bc-uw1ec]

This was done in Canada, in 2016, by 1500 lead by Rufus Wainwright!

[@raccoon905]

I was there and it was AMAZING! Who would ever think that the Hearn Generating Station, a decommissioned electrical generating station would be an appropriate venue for a Choir!Choir!Choir! event, but the reality is that it is the magic of these two guys (and guest Rufus Wainwright) that made it an unforgettable experience. Don't ever pass up the opportunity to experience it for yourself. I've been to many of these gatherings, big and small, and they are so uplifting!

[@russelljohnson4527]

See you in October! and I'm bringing a date!!!

[@marymoodley809]

AWESOME

[@nancychiavetta1351]

I was expecting Handel's Hallelujah chorus from the Messiah: this was such a pleasant surprise.

[@evacechova1093]

❤

[@marlenebickford2089]

Hallelujah means praise the Lord

[@ShiraniJaya]

Amen❤amen

[@JamesAlon-no8gt]

It's this low quality smartfone that's dominating this blog! Where's the choir?

[@dianefiske-foy4717]

This song always reminds me of Samson and Delilah, ‘cause Delilah cut Samson’s hair which was his strength. He lost his strength from then on. Can’t remember the rest of the story though.

[@Kara_Kay_Eschel]

I was expecting the one by rammstein.

[@thisfaba]

thanks god its not the one from Rammstein.

[@willmarinehurst7103]

I love this song! I've heard it sung by various people. There's one lady that sounds so sweet when she sings this. I have to say, though, I don't like this one. This is just my opinion. But this sounds too loud and jumbled to me. It sounds better when it's sung in a softer tone. This, to me, just sounds very loud and not very harmonious. I'm not a singer, so, again, this is just an opinion. I just didn't feel it at all. Like too many people talking at one time with no harmony, just yelling out words. Sorry. This is not a 'put down' just an observation by a 'non singer.'

[@rwilsonweir5697]

You might be thinking of KD Lang's Rendition of this - she has a beautiful voice

[@Baumhauer-Kriegsherr]

IF anyone of FAITH in the audience paid attention to the lyrics, they would understand that Cohen has concocted a duplicitous song effectively "allowing / "pre-forgiving" marital infidelity.

[@claudiastoll5539]

Goose flesh

[@jw6948]

You withheld this for 5 years?! Something to get us thru Covid? Thru ppl fighting over chicken sandwiches and TP? Thru the last year of Dump? Thru the insanity of the last few years?! 😒

[@christinesia6909]

The lyrics promoting adultery. You want the church to sing this song?

[@Braindead24]

Where are the male voices.....disappointed.

[@nancyok]

They typically divide room into sides or, if needed, single out just a group that can go much higher or lower. As this song didn't really need highs or lows they just divided us into two large groups. The audience was incredibly diverse but if you'd like more male voices in the mix you should attend a CCC and bring all your guy friends with you!

[@rodrigom.cardoso410]

Not one black person there… come on Seattle
