Over The Rhine Hallelujah

[@johanbornman7460]

There are so many fantastic versions of this song but this top it all with stripped down emotion and her voice. My fav band in the world

[@janknuckey]

I just don't understand how Over the Rhine are so little known! Ever since I met the guys at a festival in England over 15years ago I have spread their gospel amongst my friends...Karen's voice slays me every time

[@duglmac]

She has the greatest voice. Hearing her do this song is a real treat. This girl is gong to go down as one of the greatest female voices of our time, and this song is a good showcase.

[@rkrollart]

Fabulous!!! No one has done this song more justice! Love it!!!

[@canoestothemoon]

Royalty of Ohio folk scene here, perfect for the season. Thank you.

[@Mamarachel78]

I got to these these guys in concert. Absolutely amazing. ❤

[@stylianosisaakidis3565]

this is a new gem for me as of today... which only proves , for me anyhow, the richness of the american song and music tradition... to many artists we've never heard of that are so very, very good !!!

[@IzzyPepper]

Tons of people have done this, but she does it perfectly. One of the best covers. LC would be SO FREAKIN' PROUD! Not just a "oh wow LC rocks I'll do his song" but admiration, adoration, respect, and skill+talent+hard work.

[@DarthLoki182]

corrocet mukmuk. It takes MUCH more talent to sing softly like this than it takes to belt a song out. Karin has captured the essence of the song and put her own soul into it. This is art, this is beauty.

[@ProfessorPeewee]

Seems like everybody sings this song these days, but few do it as beautifully as this...gave me chills...

[@MrChaindog]

Not many singers come along, male or female, that sing with this woman's strength and emotion. The genuine quality of her passionate expressiveness, is rare, and to experience a performance such as this, it personifies "beauty is truth, truth beauty"........forever, and all time crcjr11

[@1leelex]

I think she has one of the most beautiful voices ever. She sings 'I Want you to be My Love' is just so wonderful. I play that one over and over....love it.

[@TIMWILLIAMS29621]

One of my favs too by her; she is super super super singer.

[@marlenejojo1]

My favorite by them is Rhapsodie, but yeah her voice is just omg

[@colerainfan1143]

So nice. Karen is as good as anybody, anywhere, singing most anything. Underrated for sure.

[@rrrdragon47]

Broken dreams, broken world, broken people, broken hearts, sing 'Hallelujah!'

[@hescovet]

A great song written by the amazing Leonard Cohen and sung by an Angel...

[@morgansterne8592]

OMG, this is so good it hurts. Thank you, OTR. I love to hear your music!

[@horacechi]

Karin ha capturado la esencia de la canción y ha puesto su propia alma en ella. Ésto es arte, ésto es belleza. desde buenos aires, argentina...te edmiro karen!!!

[@kaylataylorjazz]

Amazing. She has the best voice on the planet.

[@JiBenJiBee]

Youngsters take note. This is what humanity is capable of.

[@seraelis4975]

JiBenJiBe note taken :)

[@fenderchick1977]

NOTHING gives me chills like this song performed by THIS band. If they don't release this on a CD eventually, it would be a travesty to mankind!

[@123jumperoo]

I've listened to every possible version of this song. From KD Lang to the Accafellas and this performance is in my opinion, the most soulful rendition. It captures the gives forth the anguish and pain some find with broken love. From the musical composition to the flawless vocal, it sounded like perfection. Also From 4:42+ to 6:07, it may be the longest time anyone has sung without taking a breath in recorded history. 25 seconds..check it out.

[@joemansfield8064]

5 seconds into this song and I was in tears. God bless OTR

[@dustdevl3404]

I heard them for the first time this morning. CBC 2 had Jesus in New Orleans on as I woke up. And now this. I am getting chills listening to this. Beautiful.

[@marlenejojo1]

If you have not heard it yet look up Rhapsodie by them, you're heart will melt

[@funfinder27]

Since they came to New Zealand a few tears back I'v e played something from them everyday,to remind me of soaring beauty!- with a few others!!!

[@mikejones-go8vz]

Philip Fryer damn, I missed them

[@KevinLeland]

One of THE most soulful versions of this, my favorite song.

[@rafaelgelpi2718]

En NYC, estoy de acuerdo con Ud, hay canciones del alma y hay canciones de la boca y los labios

[@IzzyPepper]

DP, Ohio, TC, and F4R are all must-haves. I've followed them for a while as well - the entirety of my short life. Ohio would be their classic, and Trumpet is their new amazing work of art.

[@GeorgeCawhern]

This song brings on a flood of tears blessings Kat what a voice,,

[@Imahumanist]

I love Over The Rhine, I wish they'd come to where I live! I've loved them for many years!

[@iluvzacefron123]

The best version on the internet. You witness the breadth of feelings this song portrays through her performance.

[@williamlewis3677]

First heard of this band on a Margaret Becker video (Front Row) in the early 90's. She introduced guitarist Ric Hordinski who was accompanying her. I was impressed with his playing & always curious about OTR. Glad I was able to look them up here...best version I've ever heard of this great song.

[@unischlong]

I got referred to this group by a friend. I'm def gonna buy the back catalogue of Over the Rhine. . . .very impressive I think. Yes, and underrated. thumbs up here.

[@MallorcaOrcas]

I agree. Beautiful, beautiful performance. Such an amazing voice. I cannot understand how anyone would think there was not enough emotion in her singing.

[@meliores]

WOW!!! I just discovered this group tonight when I was playing around on iTunes. They are awesome!!!

[@bestoflucktoya]

Excellent, Karin really nails this song. So soothing to listen and enjoy.

[@horacechi]

Karin has captured the essence of the song and has its own soul into it. This is art, it's beauty. from buenos aires, argentina ... edmiro you karen!

[@stevenhawkyard9771]

Beautiful, OTR ought to be massive. Their own material is every bit as good...

[@mrbigtbonevissoc]

+Steven Hawkyard Absolutely!

[@rsouth202]

Yes! True talent right here

[@Jammerkevin]

Simply stunning vocal... These two are playing at Joe's Pub tonight here in NYC. I think I should get some tickets.

[@gooders7366]

Did you get there? 14 years ago 😊👋

[@MARS1111]

Beautiful! Love the voice and the piano!

[@chairmanm3ow]

What an incredible woman.

[@mjkirk12]

Karin has a wonderful voice - as soft as a feather but with great power when needed!

[@TIMWILLIAMS29621]

Best performers in the country for what they do !!!

[@MaedhrosTheTall]

I've been watching various covers of this song all morning... and this is truly an amazing version. The first I've heard with piano. Simply wonderful.

[@mishyloodle7970]

Thank you, absolutely amazing

[@823ophelia]

Love these two SO MUCH!

[@humbulpi]

You have GOT to get "Films for Radio" and "The Trumpet Child". I have followed them for 10 years and have nearly everything they have done. Amazing artists and more amazing as individuals. They are salt of the earth types. Genuine, kind with a true depth of character.

[@CdnBiggles]

Awesome video! Thanks for posting that. Karin really delivers a marvelous vocal of that. I would agree with the others, her rendition is about the best I've heard. If OtR weren't so busy making great CD's of thier own material, they could do one helluva of a cover album!

[@daringventures]

Both great musicians. Outstanding performance.

[@masterkey14]

briljant. I love it. Good version.. Bravo! Halleluja. A broken world, broken people, broken hearts! Yes indeed Sing "Halleluja"

[@missmotokel]

100% my personal favourite cover... just beautiful

[@kreeus]

I love this song. And you guys are always great.

[@doc4care]

marvelous this wonderful live version makes one wonder what a studio version would deliver thanks theaterboi01

[@g00glyelm0]

When Sarah Bernhardt walked out of the studio of Nadar ca. 1859, and he surprised her on the street after her sitting. That is what this performance evokes in me.

[@Prestigiousnetter]

thank you for posting this. What a voice...

[@AaronPICAR]

As far as I have found OTR is the only group that has done this song justice, but then again, everything OTR does is beautiful. For the most part, I wish this song would just be left alone.

[@campfirestories]

This is an amazing version of this song in a sea of God-awful ones. I actually got desperate looking for someone who can sing this song well. Beautiful woman, beautiful voice, great passion, great pianist. Awesome job. Thank you!

[@nickrolfe69]

never heard of them before, good version. Nick north wales

[@playomatic]

Haunting, chilling. Goose bump inducing. Sublime. Practically perfect.

[@cjeap]

Thank You. Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mauldin92]

Best band most haven't heard of. Perfect.

[@lydiaevanko1934]

Wow,You have an amazing voice

[@dobovedo]

They just did this at Don Gibson Theatre in Shelby, NC earlier tonight. Beautiful as ever.

[@JanMelet]

I did not know this version but for me it is one of the best.

[@bloodydamiana]

Amazing Band Amazing Voice!!

[@StevenJacksonMusic]

Beautiful version of this great tune.

[@Belemon9]

Wonderful. Wonderful !

[@tpv525]

Oh my Lord, that was beautiful.

[@wshockley2]

I get chills every time I watch this...

[@mishyloodle7970]

Every one please sing !!!! Lots of love please! Please!pleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease!

[@GeorgeCawhern]

my friend Kat sung this at my friends funeral ben seeking the lyrics awesome song

[@enkelson]

wonderful....you have a great voice...

[@garywhite67]

love this girl great job.love from canada

[@MsBee777]

And the true Love that is being revealed The deficit comes before the light And only an appeal to the light remains On the way to the only truth What is this thing that is separating between us To the good and the benevolent Only the desire that is instilled/engraved in us To pleasure ourselves Every time it rises up It progresses and reveals The true state that he is in That he is far from the Creator There is no more concealment

[@DoctorChibi740]

This woman has an amazing voice.

[@Sjwar]

The guy behind the keyboard rocks!! Great playing!!!

[@denisemartin5888]

Just Brilliant ❤️

[@maakhine]

good,,,better,,,best,,, excellent ... well done ...

[@RikuTani]

just saw this rendition and spectacular was my thought!!!!

[@magicbrainman]

The facial expressions are her living the story of the song. It is another expression of her to the audience. Her voice is only one expression. Shakespeare said to thy own self be true. She's just being true to herself. Its her art.

[@hesyourcocaine]

Over The Rhine is such an amazing band. I never talk about them to friends... I am selfish and want to keep her magical voice all for myself.

[@Mamarachel78]

That's kinda weird. Lol.

[@multifacetedddd]

My new favorite version of this song

[@GeorgeCawhern]

she reminds me of Michelle pfeiffer singing in baker boys, Karen you tha' best.

[@millieloves2]

Love this!!!!!

[@cmbojim]

Y'all were awesome at Billy Bob's in Fort Worth this past weekend. I totally dig your sound.

[@KiRiMa64]

I loved Jeff Buckley's version,but this takes it to another level. Karen and Linford are excellent under rated artists!!

[@evenstar0]

Drunkard's Prayer is absolutely amazing, also Ohio, it's a 2 disc one. Both excellent.

[@InnoPractitioner]

I completely agree that she is amazing and one of the most underrated in the musical world...moreover, Over the Rhine is as a band. Their lack of exposure is completely telling of the weak and wielding music industry full of pop culture and profit margins, mostly void of all quality ,art and value....Over the Rhine is outstanding!

[@erikvonriese]

This is probably the best female rendition I've heard of this song. I still wish women would drop the "remember when I moved in you" verse, tthough - I feel it refers pretty explicitly to male love-making, and there's other equally gorgeous (and too infrequently performed) verses that don't present the same problem. For example, the verse (my favorite) that culminates in "And even though it all went wrong/ I'll stand before the lord of song/ with nothing on my tongue but hallelujah."

[@ricardobegazo1767]

Nice...it made remember nice times

[@linkinpark2336]

Wow.... That was amazing.

[@Ellesdeee]

i love her voice.

[@kmbrco]

Stunning.

[@garyturner1463]

I agree, WOW. Nice touch.

[@jjlilybean]

I absolutely love Over the Rhine, and I love that they covered this song. I just want to make sure credit is given to Jeff Buckley, whose rendition of this song is a revelation, and very influential. If you haven't heard his version, you should check it out.

[@nevanderson1164]

Hallelujah needs charisma and power; Jeff Buckley is just too weak. It cries out for David Draiman lend his velvet growl, to stamp his considerable charisma on this track. Then we would have a version as impactful as Disturbed's Sounds of Silence cover.

[@jjlilybean]

Nev Anderson Hahaha nice one

[@maxbis]

Great Stuff, very emotional!

[@pianofreak91]

I love what the guy on piano is doing. His accompaniement is quite different to the usual piano accompaniement for this song. i

[@ozmoid]

I FEEL IT!

[@CoolkatDave]

Soft blending of the words adds a bit of depth to the timbre. Nice.

[@ajdgb12345]

omg i love this version of this song ^_^

[@rescogitansa]

The appreciation of art is purely subjective. Can one really say this or that is the best? But one can say I prefer this over everything I have seen or heard thus far.
