[@VenomousR0bot]

when I listen to Leonard Cohen's performance of this song, the impression I get is of grief that has almost healed. Whereas this one, the grief seems fresh, and that hit me right in my soul. These scars take time to heal.

[@blurred-antics]

once again with gorgeous control + breath work (plus that insane high note towards the end??). this one felt so raw & vulnerable-exactly how i feel the song should be sung. the "cold and broken"ness of the hallelujah was palpable through the screen. really beautiful work, colm

[@cyrocya1]

This is a beautiful cover. Hallelujah is a song that needs to be truly genuine, or it comes off as fake, and this cover just works. Also, the pure range, especially in the last chorus, was amazing

[@gregneidlinger8252]

Put this on in the background while peeling potatoes, and 4:37 made me physically drop what I was doing and say "holy shit". Well done, as always.

[@brittanyg533]

Few artists are able to replicate the raw emotion in the song. And you nailed it!

[@hobbycathartic]

My father passed away Sunday. I got to spend time with him the day before. I just made it back home finally, sat down and saw this song was out. I listened to this and finally cried. This was beautiful. Thank you.

[@loganhudson9095]

Ashes to ashes dust to dust may he rest in peace and I hoe you prosper

[@-Wyrmwoods-]

This cover genuinely gave me chills. My grandfather loved this song and recently passed away but I know he would have loved this. I'm performing it at his funeral, and hearing you has calmed a lot of my anxieties around the entire situation. Thank you for posting this cover Colm, you are truly a blessing to this platform.

[@wickedcabinboy]

@-Wyrmwoods- My condolences on the loss of your grandfather. I absolutely love this song and like you, this version gave me chills. It may be the best version I've heard and I've heard nearly all of them. I'm glad you'll be performing it at his funeral. Would like very much to hear your version.

[@sheilaisaacs981]

what a wonderful thing to do I know he will love it..I am very sorry for you loss

[@cboyce653]

Hope you are doing ok

[@joshualane1417]

I wish you all the strength and courage in this world friend. My grace and fortune guide your path.

[@Avitus2010]

I found out about this song when I watched the first Shrek cartoon. You plunged me into my childhood. I used to love listening to this song. Thank you so much for this magical song. I'm going to review the cartoon.

[@catherinerosa-baker2937]

This was played at my Daughter's funeral

[@PiedPiperProjects]

I think it'd be kinda of interesting to see an Irish/Celtic-style arrangement of this.

[@kennethhummel4409]

This is what I sang alone at my wife’s funeral in my poor and broken baritone voice. I kept my promise dear. It’s been 2 years now and still makes me hurt… makes me wish that I never gave up social drinking, a large scotch neat would help about now.

[@Wingchance1]

I'm sorry for your loss.

[@eskild9917]

My condolences.

[@hamoodkorwinhabibike9359]

Wish the best for you, hope things will get better

[@cboyce653]

I hope one day you are able to heal

[@michaeljay4816]

That’s so heavy. Hoping for comfort from God for you in this difficult time.

[@RomBombadil]

Chills from the first words, brother bear. Absolutely a beautiful cover of a masterpiece song, this was anything but a cold and broken Hallelujah. Cheers mate, hope you and yours are having a most excellent New Year

[@H3xx99]

Gorgeous and raw. Just like this song ought to be.

[@vincewans1148]

Sir I can't' begin to thank you enough for you singing this. This is one of my mother's favorite songs and I sent her this video. I waited to hear reply before I wrote this. She called me crying and through her tears she told me how beautiful it was and that she loved it, she also wanted me to tell you thank you for recording this song. I can tell you with all honesty that you are one of my favorite singers and this cover is one of the best I have ever heard. Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart❤. God Bless from Missouri U.S.A

[@natethegnat1659]

what a set of pipes on this handsome lad. Not just super low all the time, but chillingly high and resonant as well! Bravo!

[@JL_Artistry]

Beautifully done! Great work as always, Colm ❤

[@Hyreia]

This used to be the one song to make me just start weeping no matter where I was. It has a lot of sentimentality and bitter emotions for me. I thought I worked past that from listening to it over and over. It all came flooding back.

[@JL_Artistry]

I have had an absolutely awful start into 2024, but you posting a video this week has made me happy again! Thank you for all you do Colm.

[@robertdiers1356]

I am sure 2024 will be your year and whatever troubles you may have youll overcome

[@disgruntledgentleman4519]

I’m sure things will pick up for ya soon, friend. Wishing you all the best.

[@Sorchia56]

Wishing you the best from here on out. Keep listening to this gorgeous song to hold you up. Sending blessings 🍀💚

[@abigailsmith9245]

So many different renditions of this song and this is definitely my new favorite. I absolutely love this

[@Sorchia56]

Chills and tears are running silently running down my face. Sheer raw beauty and perfection! Your talent is unlimited. 🍀💚

[@aldude9511]

This feels like Leonard Cohen and Jeff Buckley doing a duet. I would love to hear the two tones come together on a final chorus.

[@felixvenne-deshaies2926]

hard to pay hommage to cohen, buckley and john cale all in one fell swoop. breathtaking.

[@beneverending]

I just can't. It's so heartbreaking. This may be my most favorite rendition of the one of my most favorite songs. Literally brought tears to my eyes. I love it, Colm. You're brilliant.

[@PatR2243]

OMG Colm, I'm in love with your cover of one of my favorite songs of all time. Leonard Cohen would be thrilled hearing this.

[@f.frederickskitty2910]

The man with the silver tongue knocks it out of the ballpark once again. That was beautiful. Thanks for the gift cousin. ❤

[@dorothyrosenberg1301]

I’ve loved your voice since discovering your performances. This particular rendition of one of my favorite songs is the most incredible, amazing display of your range, talent, and power. Thank you for this heartfelt, expressive moment of sheer beauty.

[@AnjutaRoze]

It's an insanely beautiful cover, though, all you ever get is a magic cover, dear Colm! Thank you for the beautiful, high notes, thank you for your beautiful voice and for this wonderful cover. Under this wonderful cover, you can fall asleep and imagine the most beautiful and tender plots, thank you, Colm 🙏

[@Herysael]

Your voice is pure perfection. My dear, please don’t ever stop singing. NEVER! ❤️

[@camillaboe]

Best version ever!

[@JonahIronstone]

That was stunning. You have such range, and your voice suits the song perfectly. Thank you for this.

[@stephanietodd4105]

This song was a huge part of my childhood, I remember watching my parents dance in the kitchen to Leonard Cohen, it's some of my happiest memories. You did a wonderful cover. Absolutely bravo Colm :)

[@bethbaskett3]

Colm, that was absolutely gorgeous from beginning to end. Those notes were insane. Thank you!

[@elycejade]

This was honestly so beautiful. I listen to the version you did with Caleb, Thomas, Jonathan and Dan a few years ago. It’s lovely to hear you do the whole song. Thank you for this ☺️🩵

[@grahamthomas9319]

Love the falsetto! Apparently you can do everything 😂 4:30 till end should be a short! You’d draw people in like moths to a flame!

[@poisonsumc7426]

Amen!

[@Adottir]

That was impressive but I was even more impressed about the flawlessly delivered lowest notes.

[@MightyTachikoma]

Your voice is just so stunning. Every single time, I get tingles. So much emotion.

[@LtGhost-tb3kq]

Not even a minute in yet and it’s already passed me expectations. Love ya, Colm - stay handsome, mate.

[@nunyabusiness979]

One of the best baratone voices I have ever heard. Thank you!

[@vickismallwood2082]

Praise God for a blessed song. Fantastic job.

[@trincywalker7497]

CHILLS 😎 such beauty!!! I just can't get enough of colms voice. The flow of his voice with his music choice is like ship to a stranded person. I hope to hear many more additive songs for years to come.

[@traxathon4464]

I have my girly girl, my Smokey cat right beside me right now; She's loved a long life, but tomorrow, Jan 8, 2024, she has to pass on and go home. We loved listening to music together, thank you for this

[@cryptic_kay]

Absolutely beautiful! Almost started crying in the middle of class lol. I hope one day he tours so I can have a chance to hear his music live

[@alvpyrola]

This has lately become one of those songs that makes me have to pause whatever game I'm playing, because I bawl my eyes out every time I hear it.

[@PrimusGladius]

The range you command is remarkable and leaves me speechless. Bravo

[@TammyRussell-sm6hd]

Stunning. I was totally transfixed watching.

[@Ehvintide]

😮 walking down the end...chills

[@feyrinvr3952]

The way it makes the goosebumps real. Colm has this beautiful range and it made me realize that its like Sound of silence, but from a dark song, came a lighter and much more beautiful almost version of it, except with hallelujah. Well done.
