@@dawncanbegrumpyinthemornin1408 oh don`t bring religion into it, this was not meant to be a religious song, in fact there are many different explanations as to what Cohen meant. The bible is mentioned but it is not a song about praising a god, it just uses the word that in Hebrew means praise god but even that word is being used a s a personal ending, good or bad. It most certainly is not an uplifting tribute to a lord of any kind.

Killed it. In the best way possible. Amazing voice. Simply perfect. Encore!

Truthfully, when she hit that first powerful bit where it echoed down the stairwell they're in, it brought tears to my eyes. I can say this is the first cover of Mr. Cohens work outside of Jeff Buckley's that I think did the song justice. Absolutely amazing. I hope they go far and don't lose sight of what gave them what is clearly a love of music.

This is, by FAR, my FAVORITE version of this song.... EVER..!!!! And I have listened to COUNTLESS versions!!! This young lady KILLS it.!!!!!

Thank you. I bet Leonard Cohen just might have loved your beautiful cover. R.I.P. Leonard Cohen.

Who is she, and where do they come from

How did this kind of beauty come about without a million dollar sound studio, a hundred piece orchestra or a backup chorus? How did it happen in a stairwell, with a guy on an electric guitar, a microphone and a young woman? It happened because of raw talent! I find this performance just as beautiful today as I did when I first heard it four years ago! It was a treat to hear it again!!!

omg found this by accident, she has such a beautiful voice.....

Of all the versions of this song, this is the one that matters. He wrote a beautiful song in search of a voice. This is that voice.

Shout out to the guitarist, his accompaniment is perfect.

As a musician, I'll tell you, this is amazing in every way. Your voice is insane and the guitarist's touch is divine.

Im a "todays kid" and i am so sick of all the singers who dont sing with their soul and dont sing songs with meaning... I loved this song ever since I was little and it still today brings me to tears. You did an amazing cover and you have a beautiful voice. Again, this was amazing.💯

One guitar and a soaring glorious voice. Hallelujah.

it's valentine day, I'm alone with a beer and too much stuff to study. I'm so stressed and sad but I took time to close my eyes and rest my head on my arms while listening to this. thanks

This comes from the soul in my opinion. Shes singing like no other girl I've heard and I appreciate a beautiful voice!

The amazing acoustics of a large, cold, hard, empty stairwell served this girl well. You can't miss a note in a place like that because the sound is so full in that space. A missed note screams back in your ears like an icy wind. Whoever you are - good job. This was a joy to hear.

Yes, the playing is wonderful but the choice of this arrangement is fantastic as it compliments the loneliness and angst of the song. 2) The passion and heart that goes beyond the mere beautiful gift of her voice reaches into my heart and shakes my soul. 3) What a great location!
