I love this song and this video and just felt like sharing it with all of you. The beautiful Canadian Tenors perform the legendary Leonard Cohen version of Hallelujah on the Oprah Show. Another beautiful Canadian surprise, Celine Dion pops up during their performance and makes their dreams come true, it’s so cute you have to see it!
This song makes your heart want to cry and smile all at the same time because it’s about the hardships of love. The movie Shrek used this song when Ogre experienced what it was like to feel brokenhearted over his Princess Fiona and both parents and kids around the world witnessed these emotions.
I thought about this song during different times of my life and I’ve used it when something new begins because it brings joy and you can’t help but say Hallelujah! On the other hand, when something ends and its been a long road, the stress of having it over also makes you want to say Hallelujah! Therefore all Hallelujah’s have equal value and for me, this song represents peace, either way.
I hope you can take 5:14 minutes today and enjoy listening and feeling the emotion in this piece while relating to your own life and your own Hallelujah’s. Have a great day! ❤
Love Always,
Jen

My brother is OBSESSED with this song. He made me listen to every cover of it, so I’ve heard it at least a 100 times. Good song though 🙂
