Joey Batey (Jaskier) sings Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley Cover, Leonard Cohen Cover w/ English Lyrics :)

Joey Batey (Jaskier) covers Jeff Buckley’s version of Hallelujah, originally written and created by Leonard Cohen. The performance is from Not About Angels, written by Imogen Stubbs, in 2011.
The link to the original performance (and the full play) is here: vimeo.com/2576...

Context: This play is set after Jeff Buckley's tragic drowning as boats and helicopters search for his body. That is why Jeff Buckley (played by Joey Batey) seems erratic and confused. He doesn't know what has happened to him and also was experiencing severe mental distress in the weeks prior to his death. This performance of Hallelujah is not meant to be a highly polished rendition, he is singing as a part of a game he is playing with Eva Cassidy (Ellie Nunn) in the mysterious 'in-between' world they are inhabiting together. When I removed the white noise it distorted his voice too much, so I have left the sound in its original form and fixed a few minor visual and auditory glitches. The original play is linked in the description box. I have nothing but the deepest respect for Mr. Joey Batey and everyone else involved in this production, and no copyright infringement is intended. I make no money from this, I just want people to be able to enjoy it :)

[@PastryFan3016]

Love this man's voice. Wish he had more solos in his band The Amazing Devil bc his voice gets kind of drowned out which is almost criminal.

[@esmeesme5268]

It's remarkable what his voice can do when not wasted on "Toss a Coin" 🥰

[@limonali]

I cannot think of a talent Joey does not possess. He definitely has many, many more than an average human! Blessed & beloved by the gods ;) Thank you for this, I loved hearing his version.

[@Vexarax]

Thanks so much for your comment, sorry it took so long to reply I only just found it! And I agree I'm always amazed by his talent - especially for songwriting above all else 🙏🏻I am just always blown away by the lyrics he can come up with and how he weaves them together.. plus everything else he can do. An extremely talented individual! :)

[@unnatural6edq]

Thank you!! He has such a lovely and amazing voice and it's so wonderful to hear him performing other music :)

[@Vexarax]

Hello ^_^ yes I agree he's extremely talented!! He is also a genius and writes some of the greatest lyrics I have ever heard and composes music as well! I am making a long video with all his Witcher singing scenes and many real-life clips where he sings his own lyrics in his band (I've included multiple clips to show his huge vocal range!). The video is still a couple of months away as it's over 20 minutes long and I'm making custom subtitles (like in my Hobbit Outtakes video) but if you enjoy content of him performing you'll love the video I'm working on now, when I finally finish it! :D

[@KerriB]

Thanks for posting. I absolutely love Joey Batey ❤️

[@Vexarax]

Thank you so much for your comment. I have more Witcher/Amazing Devil related content on the way, it's just going to take me a while to do the subtitles as the video is a long one! :D

[@JUANORQUIO]

Bravo 👏🏻! Brilliant And Lovely Performance! 🤗❤️✨

THANK YOU FOR SHARING

[@Vexarax]

Thank you I'm glad you enjoy it! I'm working on a huge video about Joey Batey in both Amazing Devil and Witcher. So if you enjoy his talent hopefully you'll see my eventual full video when it's finished. There is still a few months worth of work to go though :)

Thankyou :-)

What happened to you? It’s been so long since your last upload. Best regards from Canada for the holidays and the year ahead.

[@Vexarax]

I started a new channel in Feb that I’ve been working on all year - I’m already up to 90k subs over there :o This subtitles channel is more for “fun” so I’m saving it for when I’m in a better financial situation and can relax more. I’ve made multiple videos that are ALMOST finished to upload over here, but yeah I just need to focus over at the other channel for now as that’s the one I’ll be able to monetise when I have the correct documentation etc (almost 20 million views and still not monetised because I need a passport or drivers license to verify my identity, I don’t have either of them!! - noooo). I don’t want anyone to be able to link the two channels as my other one is a weight loss channel and this channel is more personal (I lost over 70lbs in 6 months, uploaded every single day to record the journey. I went from fat with a big hanging belly to fit and strong - even with some visible abs lol). This one also links back to more personal things (like my Twitter) which I don’t want people from the other channel being able to find. I show a lot of my body on the other channel for documentation purposes so I get a fair amount of weirdos and don’t want them finding me here 😅 So that was a very long explanation about where I’ve been! Thank you for the kind words and I hope you have a lovely holiday season and a great year next year :D 🙏🏻 Edit: I am really looking forward to eventually being able to focus on this channel for fun and relaxation though - it’s just not something I can monetise as I use copyrighted film and book material over here and also don’t want the flow interrupted by ads!!

[@nzs316]

@@Vexarax It would seem that the new year back in feb inspired a “new you”. Good on you! Can’t a bank manager or an officer or the court attest to a signed photograph. Or a medical card photo ID. There is nothing wrong with flying below the radar. But I do look forward to your next upload whenever that may be. Cheers dear soul!

[@Vexarax]

@@nzs316 For Google Adsense you have to have offical government ID which here in NZ is only a drivers license or passport. It’s because so many people were exploiting the system they now have to be extremely strict and if you can’t provide the documentation within 4 weeks of them requesting it (usually during the application process) they permanently disable your ability to monetise. Patreon also requires a passport or drivers license. So those things will be my new “goal” at the start of the new year - to try to find a way to get them. It’s crazy how complicated the process is if you don’t already have photo ID! Thank you and good luck with everything!! ^_^

[@NicomaCGS]

Wow, he sang that song beautifully. I like this actor since he plays in the series The Witcher. Unfortunately, I don't have a Vimeo account. Will you still throw in any of this?

[@Vexarax]

I agree he is so good in Witcher, I've actually made a huge compilation video of his Witcher scenes, all songs, and his real life songs as well, but I'm working on the subtitles which will take me months as they're extremely in-depth and detailed like in my Hobbit Outtakes video. That video will be the most comprehensive video of clips of his Witcher character on all of youtube when I am finally finished it though :D You can watch the whole play (featured in the video above) on Vimeo without an account! Here is the link: vimeo.com/25764342 :) Thank you for the comment!! ^_^

@@Vexarax I don't understand a bit, because it says that I need to log in to watch

[@Vexarax]

@@NicomaCGS that's weird because I don't even have an account to log into, but I can still watch it. However I think all you need is an email address and password to log in so you could make an account to watch it then delete the account? As far as I know it's totally free :)

[@NicomaCGS]

@@Vexarax I just watched and I think I will remove it because it is not needed for anything. Just to watch this performance. Cool but it's a pity that there are no subtitles, because I don't understand English well, I write through a google translator.

[@Vexarax]

@@NicomaCGS Yes it's a shame with no subtitles!! If I could, I would upload the entire performance and add subtitles to the entire thing, but sadly that would result in a copyright strike for my channel (as it's illegal to upload full performances) so I don't want to risk that!! But that's why I always add subtitles to everything I do upload - I want people to be able to understand what I am saying! :)

That’s awesome good luck 🙏🏻There are lots of incels who changed over the years and have gone on to have happy lives and healthy relationships etc :) I’m celibate but I don’t mind staying this way personally - I think I’m too focussed on nerdy things to worry about relationships :D but everyone has different needs ^_^ 💚

@@Vexarax yes. I won't give up hope. I'm working on stopping being so negative and loser y.

[@Vexarax]

@@scifirealism5943 that’s great that you’re trying 💚 all we can do is continue to try to move forward and better ourselves ^_^ some people end up trapped in their hatred and pain, angry at the world - that’s how the guy ended up shooting those people (in the video we were replying to originally). That’s a horrible way to have to live, and then to bring others down too using violence is one of the worst fates imo :c But yeah it can be hard to change our mindset! I was depressed and angry and alcoholic for years - I’m trying to better myself ^_^ good luck on your journey 🙏🏻
