Prepare for chills as viral vocalist Lauren Paley sings ‘Hallelujah’ in a stairwell.

The powerful song was originally released in 1984, but it wasn’t until Jeff Buckley released the song on his 1994 album, ‘Grace’ that the song really started to gain momentum.

Since that time, ‘Hallelujah’ become a worldwide phenomenon and truly cemented itself in music history. Over the years, many artists have covered the tune and it’s a popular song selection for auditions and showcases. The unique tune sounds like a perfect blend of a rock ballad and a gospel song.

“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”

Today, Lauren Paley is putting her own spin on this iconic tune and it’s absolutely stunning. You may recognize Lauren from one of her many viral song covers performed in stairwells. In fact, her rendition of ‘Hymn Of The Sea’ from Titanic has received over 3 million views across social media.

Now, she’s belting out the words to ‘Hallelujah’ and it’s enough to cover you in goose bumps. Lauren was just as touched by the beloved song. On YouTube, she wrote, “You guys voted on this iconic song to be sung in my stairwell, and I have to admit...it was a religious experience. The acoustics in here lend themselves beautifully to the song.”

And I can’t agree more. This was an absolutely stunning performance with pitch perfect vocals. Now, I’ll be thinking about ‘Hallelujah’ in an entirely different way.
