Listen to this chilling and wonderful rendition of ‘Hallelujah’ performed by three men of Celtic Thunder.

“Now I’ve heard there was a secret chord that David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do you? It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor falls, the major lifts, the baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah”

Leonard Cohen’s iconic song ‘Hallelujah’ continues to inspire musical artists and listeners alike with its simple, haunting lyrics. And every musician that covers the song lends their own unique voice and takes on the classic.

This performance by Celtic Thunder of ‘Hallelujah’ blends the eclectic with the cultural for resonance. The setting and the choreography add up to an epic rendition of the song.

At the start of the video, which was filmed live in Ontario back in 2015, one of the members of the group come out on stage and starts to sing the song beautifully. Then he is joined on stage by two other band members, the audience bursts into applause. What a magnificent performance!
