Hey there GLP, if y’all wouldn’t mind checking out a cover song I recorded of Jeff Buckley’s Hallelujah.

That's sacrilege saying it's Buckley's, it's Leonard Cohen's song. Jeff Buckley made a shitty pop version of it.

Good rendition though.

Nice. You have a nice deep masculine voice. The guitar is very nice are you playing it in the song?

Lol. I have no idea where that quote came from!

Lol yeah you’re definitely right about that compared to the original it’s not that great but thank you so much I’m glad you liked my rendition!

Thank you! No I wish! That’s just me singing along with a karaoke instrumental accompaniment! Thank you again for listening!

My apologies OP here. I had changed a few things around on my SoundCloud account settings and it killed the link. Here’s the new one sorry.

Thanks again in advance if you check it out! Hope everyone’s having a great day and y’all have an awesome weekend too!

OP here! Thanks to those of y’all that gave me the five stars and also for the listens! I really appreciate it a lot!

Bump...nice btw.

It says the tracks been removed?

Dammit. I wanted to hear him!

^ This ^

LOL...good thing I didn't pine it, my last 'please give me feedback' pine removed all the video's after like 25 views or something.

I can’t go back and edit the post. But I added a comment here above a few posts up about how I had changed some settings on my SoundCloud profile and it killed all my links. Here’s the new link for those wondering what the heck was going on.

If I could edit my original post I would but sadly I won’t be able to. There’s two comments on this page of the thread above that have the revised link that works.

Thank you so much for listening and I’m glad you liked it! No worries about the pine. Maybe if I just made an entirely new post or something but I don’t wanna be a hassle to anyone. Hopefully the ones that still wanna listen but weren’t able to with the bad link can still check it out!

Here’s the link one more time:

I'm giving you 5*'s because I love that song and appreciate the effort... although the vocals get a bit wtf at the end.

And I edited your OP with the right link.

Hey thank you so much, Scrump! That’s really freaking nice of you to take the time to do that. I appreciate it tremendously. Have a great weekend, by the way!

Hey that’s so nice of you anyway just knowing you wanted to check it out! The link has been fixed if you wanna try it again! Thanks so much!

Cool track! I’ll have to give it a proper listen a little later on but the first few minutes were pretty nice I like it thanks so much for sharing it!

Something about the melody, spirit, and sincerity of this song always brings tears to my eyes... every time.

Leonard Cohen rocked it bigly.

To anyone who makes it this far reading the comments I thought I’d share one more out of the six I’ve got uploaded. Some of them are very bootleg where I’m essentially singing over the original track playing at a slightly lower volume where you can still hear the music but I sing over the existing vocals. But this hallelujah one and this one here are some where I sang along with some instrumental accompaniments and karaoke instrumentals that I’d found so these are strictly my vocals so they sound a little better in my opinion.

“Creep” originally performed by Radiohead, my vocal cover along with a piano rendition instrumental.

They’re still VERY raw and lo-fi for sure because I’m just playing the music from a small Bose Bluetooth speaker and then recording with the mic on my phone and then I touch the audio up a little bit with an audio editor app but it’s nowhere near as good or professional as if I had some proper equipment. Im thriller because I just found out that my boss is going to be getting me some stuff here pretty soon because he got to hear a few of my recordings and told me he definitely wants to help me take my craft to the next level so I’m really blessed and excited and humbled because this all just began because I found through some really dark nights of the soul that singing is one of the few things about myself that I personally really deeply enjoy and love about myself regardless of whether or not anyone else ever gives a damn or if everyone in the world thought my singing was absolute crap lol it still wouldn’t phase me because I enjoy it and it brings me joy and satisfaction and it’s very cathartic.

So I wasn’t really ever planning on doing much with it just occasionally making recordings like this but it’s really cool to find that others actually enjoy it as well! It’s a truly incredible journey and so I know it sounds dumb and over the top probably but like right now just having these rougher quality raw demo recordings listened to and appreciated or enjoyed even by anyone else at all is an amazing experience to me because I’m actually sharing these tiny glimpses and pieces of my very heart and soul with another human being and it’s being received and welcomed, there’s really nothing like it in the world.

And to those of y’all that listened already and commented and left me the five star ratings seriously you are all amazing and I cannot thank you enough. I hope each and every one of y’all is exceedingly blessed in every and any step that you take and in any and everything that you do, many many times over!

*Im thrilled, not I’m thriller. Haha. Sorry typing from mobile sucks sometimes.

Man I love that you shared that with me because I really like knowing that someone else is as moved by that song as I am, I like hearing feedback or just peoples thoughts and perspectives on music and songs that stir and touch their soul and spirit. It’s such a powerful and pure way to communicate in a heart to heart way with someone.

Thank you OP. Love that song.

You’re so very welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Happy I didn’t butcher it or anything I’d hate to dishonor such a beautiful and moving song. I love that it resonates with others in such similar ways that it does with me. Thank YOU for listening!
