paroles de chanson Intro to Hallelujah (Live at The Red Room, Chicago, 9/7/2023) - Mike Maimone

So on the first day we were messaging each other
When we moved from Scruff to texting and
Uh, I can't share the vast majority of that with you but, um
One thing he did– (come on)
It's not that kind of show
Ah, that's for (for another therapy session)
Yeah-yeah, that's for the Only Fans, um

Ah, one thing he did say
He asked me if I ever covered "Hallelujah"
And I was like
You know, the musicians in the room
You know that, how tall of an order that is, right?
And I'm gonna demonstrate it

So if everybody, think in your mind of the artist
Who sings your favorite version of "Hallelujah"
On the count of three we're all going to say the
Artist who sings our favorite version of "Hallelujah"
One, two, three
Bonus points for the people who said Mike Maimone but no, that's the–
Teacher's pet, yeah, right?

See, there's, there's so many beautiful versions and
And I feel like, you know
What could any new artist add to that catalog?
And that's sort of one of the things that Howard did
In his life for the people around him is gave us all
The confidence to use our own authentic voices
To discover our authentic voices and he told me
He said like whatever you do
You're gonna do your version of the song

And when he passed I knew I had to do the song
And I found a new truth in it and to me
"Hallelujah" isn't a prayer it's a curse, it's
I do believe that there's a god and
I do believe that our loved ones are still with us
But I just, in this moment, do not feel at all like praying, ah

So this is my version of "Hallelujah"
It goes like this
