"Hallelujah" by Rufus Wainwright (Irish Performance)

it's beautiful !!!

Pulease!!!! Castro couldn't hold a candle to this song!! k d lang, rufus and the foursome, they get it.

Beautiful song and a nice version by Rufus. Going to put some Jeff Buckley covers ive done in concert on my site. Please Check them out and tell me what you think people : ) Thank you . Peace .

luv this

Ok, thank you. That's a little different than what I saw at this one vid that helps you learn to play it, but I'll try this one and see how it works out =]
I'm playing it in C major, and I'm trying to sing it in Rufus's tune, but... yeah, doesn't really sound too good.
lol
Thank you again, this was very helpful =]
have a good day

Hahaha, yes it is! Especially that my fingers can't move that fast yet.
=]
thanks for your help, I greatly appreciate it =]

I was watching another person play it on the guitar and the chords I got were as follows: C,Am x4 then F,G,C,G next C,F,G,Am, then on the chorus F,C,F,C. The rest I believe mostly repeats. Hope this is some help.

No flats or sharps involved, i'm trying to learn it myself. The timing is a bitch!

buckley owns all

I'm learning to play this song on the piano (plus to sing while playing) and THIS version fits my range the best. I know the basics, but I can't see if he's playing it in C major or in what? Is he using any flats or sharps? Please, I need help, this is sooo freakishly improtant to me. I won't rest 'till I get it, so please please please PLEASE help me!
Thank you soo much if you're willing to help me! By the way, Rufus's voice is perfect for this song! Love him!

leonard cohen.

Buckley's and Castro's are the best.

best version to my mind

I love this song, its brilliant, much prefer this version to that of Jeff Buckley's, the piano makes it for me. I've been trying to learn it on piano, its so difficult. I have the tune and the chords, but arpeduating them is so difficult, the timing is extremely difficult.
Love the song, great choice.

i l this version! idk what it is about his voice, it's mesmerizing :)

he needs to actually open his mouth when he sings
this is one of my fave songs of all time and this did not make me like it more

Well... no doubt it's him...!

i can agree with the whiney but i like it. what do you mean be tired?

He did a version at a concert and it was really good in my opinion, but you don't have to agree if you don't like it.

I'm sure , it's Leonard Cohen who write this
wondeful song

Funny. x] I always considered Rufus's voice to be particularly whiny. Whiny and tired. To each his own, yeah?

Leonard Cohen i believe.

who wrote this song originally?

i dont think he sing so well :S

loved it it made me cry
