Leonard Cohen chose Athena to be featured artist on his new record You Want It Darker ( Traveling Light ).
Athena here sings Leonard Cohen's classic Hallelujah, with Deron Johnson (piano), recorded and filmed live in one take with one camera and no editing.
She has been influenced by Leonard Cohen from a young age and has covered his songs on tour, citing him as one of her main influences along with Jon Lennon and Bob Dylan. She has also been influenced by K. D. Lang's version of the song as well as the Jeff Buckley classic cover.
This is an intimate acoustic version of the song with Deron Johnson, also know for his work with the Weinstein Company and the last piano player to play for Miles Davis.
Enjoy the live feel of being in Athena's living room for this spontaneous vulnerable moment.
Hallelujah - Lyrics
Well I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
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 ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well, there was a time when you let me know
What’s really going on below
But now you never show it to me do ya
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah...
