One of my all time favorite singers to walk this earth. Damien is so underrated and so talented. He has the amazing ability to bring so much emotion to the table in every song he sings.

Not underrated - but certainly illusive. He writes highly commercial songs and then disappears. Where is he?

I like underrated. It means they are not played to death and commercialised. More special, feels like your own.

I never heard any of Damien's songs before. I ran into this song in 2018, after that I checked some of his own songs. And once you start listening to him, there's no coming back.

Most of singers today got extremely perfect voice and ways of singing. But he is different, incompleteness touches a very profound emotion from inside of a poet's body, which creates something beyond the word "beautiful".

@kirkfeely7703

Seems like a song about struggling and losing a more traditional religious faith but finding a sort of solace or faith in something more personal and less theoretical. Can't understand how people sing it as a Christmas song. Also, it never sounds right when sung by some fresh-faced youths like Pentatonix (not saying Rice's version is like that). Nothing against fresh-faced youths, but you have to have struggled mightily over a long period to truly sing this one, IMHO.

Great song

I heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth The minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composing hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah... Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you She tied you to her kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah... There was a time when you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show that to me, do you ? But remember when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was hallelujah, hm hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah... Maybe there's a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you It's not a cry that you hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...

Versione meravigliosa💖

If this be blasphemy, so be it, but I like this better than Jeff Buckley’s version. It’s clear without being over-enunciated, and I’m spared that odd intro that sounds like Buckley is tuning up.
