[@thatgirlnamedcarol8268]

I’m a little girl that grew up in Detroits north west side. I escaped to my dads in a close second to the hood. After my dad abandoned me and I had no where to go, I went to your concert in Pontiac Mi. It changed my life!! So thank you for being exactly who you are!

[@frankcourtney6065]

Don't think your dad ever abandoned you, and if he did, there's somebody out there who will not.

[@1394ghostman]

Shine on...shine brite...love yourself...and know you are loved.

When you think you can no longer be surprised by a cover of Hallelujah ... and in fact yes ... what talent!

[@SuedeValdez]

We are so very lucky. This is a blessing.

[@laurenmeier2021]

I have seen him so many times, I call it going to church because I leave with my soul feeling cleansed and refreshed. Come back to Detroit Ben Harper!! I named my daughter Harper because of you and your message❤❤️❤️

[@vincentbeatrice6313]

Thanks Mr Harper Ben i saw you in France in concert beautiful magnifique ❤😂 merci

[@evelyneb8453]

Il y en a qui ont bien de la chance d avoir un Ben Harper ... Magnifique guitariste !!

[@DIANA-rv7zn]

For myself one of the best Hallelujah Interpretation of the Leonard Cohen Song. 💜✌

[@brianaldersonsmith8965]

While I never had the privilege of seeing Ben cover Cohen, his was the first show I attended with my wife at Bimbo's 365 Club in SF in 1994, and my daughter's first concert (at 7) at Oakland's Paramount on 11/10/07. I've only had the honor of speaking with the man himself backstage at The Warfield in SF in July of 1997 and it was special.

[@StoryHealer]

The bass on this is something out of this world. A lot of different interpretations of a masterpiece of music, but the bass on this one gives it a very special and rare quality.

[@vincentbeatrice6313]

Thanks allelluyah for the planet Earth really i'm 50 my son 16 years old i'm french sorry but i'm afraid for his future i hope that humanity will be best in french j'espère que vous soyez tous pour sauver la nature et l'humanité vraiment 😀😘

[@antub13]

yes. "every breath we drew was Hallelujah". Sometimes our breath is a cry, a whisper, a desperate moan... nevertheless it is a Hallelujah. Thank you, Mr. Ben Harper for this touching interpretation.

[@gh0st537]

Will always be proud to say the first concert I ever brought my daughter to was a Ben Harper show

[@melissasue2096]

That’s awesome. I took my son to Stevie wonder

[@sunniegb]

Great parenting

I did the same to my youngest ;) great guy!

[@drenwicked]

Gh0st me too! My son loved With My Own Two Hands as a toddler, so right after his third birthday, we rode our bikes to the Ben Harper show. Fun stuff!

[@joelgrignou6989]

I feel exactly the same, having bought 6 tickets for his next venue in Britany next year ... Ben in my home with my family = no price :x

[@St_Luke_333]

Brother I saw you in New Zealand the last concert you had and you saw me in the crowd, all the crowd was white and I was a Brown Maori wearing a greenstone and you told the first 2 aisles to open up as I was in the 3rd row, once the opened up the 2 aisles I was facing you right on, you then said "Kia Ora Brother, i see you." You made my life completeas you are my Idol. Thank You Brother, may you live long and blessed. ,

[@boatracer27]

wowzers: the 1st time i saw Ben Harper perform was when i was 19 years young. Now, at age 45, his musical artistry continues to touch the viscera of my Soul. Leonard Cohen & Jeff Buckley must me dancing in the Spirit realm when Ben shares this tune. When i was 25 & my birth mother passed away, Leonard Cohen's version of this song helped me move through my grieving process; when i was 30somethang, the week my grandfather passed away, Jeff Buckley's version helped me through my grieving; now at 45 yrs young, Ben Harper's expression of this song is supporting me through the loss of one of my many breast cancer sisters while thriivng through my own breast cancer treatment. Bless you Ben Harper >>>> you are healing so many people. Please never stop sharing your gift. One Love

[@RhondaFoote-or9ob]

Your a legend Ben your songs touch the souls of many 🙏

God bless BEN HARPER!!! Brought emotion and peace back to my life.

Ben, this is the most emotive and stirring performance of Hallelujah that I've ever heard. I could not listen with dry eyes. I love you. Thank you.

My eyes are sweating so much from this! ❤

[@stellay1515]

Beautiful interpretation of one of the best songs ever composed. Spiritually solvent message: to whoever has the wisdom, humble surrender of pride is a choice that facilitates an experience of reunification with the Godhead. 😌

[@ayobamidele]

Yeah good music offers possibilities for some kind of ascendence.

[@2lefrancoislefrancois178]

it cannot be a choice, it would suppose that you give up something, in order to acquire something else, man knows how to be subtle, one more degree in greed, no the divine is you, it is us, there is nothing to search, just realize that you are already what you are looking for
