Many have covered the Leonard Cohen classic but this Andrea Bocelli Hallelujah is one of the best!
Leonard Cohen originally released Hallelujah in 1984. But the haunting song became a worldwide phenomenon after Jeff Buckley recorded the song on his 1994 album, Grace.

The video starts off by showing the ocean lapping up on rocks next to the water. Then, Andrea Bocelli starts singing the lyrics to Hallelujah amongst the rocks as dancers dance around him.

“I'd heard there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you? Well, it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift, the baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah”
Later, Andrea Bocelli goes into a beautiful rock cathedral that is sitting on a cliff next to the ocean and is singing with lit candles all around him.
What an incredibly beautiful Hallelujah video full of Andrea Bocelli’s amazing voice!
