I can't hear Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah without thinking about Kate McKinnon's version as Hillary.

And then today I saw this: Chris Cornell's 12 year old daughter singing it in her late father's honor.

1. Kate McKinnion's version helped me get through the election results

[herding cats]

10. It ripped my heart into a million pieces.

I was a hot mess for weeks after the election.

[Gothmog]

14. Same here

I did not watch cable news for a long time

[pnwmom]

12. Me, too.

[Gothmog]

13. I just rewatched it and I am still moved

[FM123]

2. ok, I'm crying now....

[Aristus]

3. My wife (the former Republican) and I both wept during and after Kate McKinnon's rendition.

We were still in shock...

[Glassunion]

4. I'm not crying, you're crying!

Chester Bennington also sang it at Cornell's funeral...

[BainsBane]

5. That's what the tears are about

in the audience. Edited to add: I didn't realize the girl's father and singer from the band had died too.

My heart breaks every time I hear it. That is a loss I will not recover from.

7. Me either--I keep telling my husband I will be angry for the rest of my life

I welcome it truth to tell. I want to Turn into positive action. To quote Anansi from the series "American Gods"

Angry gets shit done

[samnsara]

6. i have never watched it...too sad.

[barbtries]

8. i had to bookmark to listen later

i've already been crying because of this tweet:

I haven't heard this video yet, but my favorite of dozens i've heard is Kate Voegele's. Once spent a few hours looking up all youtube versions of the song and listened to it over and over and over.

[TexasBushwhacker]

9. She has her father's eyes n/t

[fescuerescue]

11. I didn't realize that she was impersonating hillary when she sang/played that.

I guess because I don't believe I've seen Hillary sing or play.

But she did a good job.

[Stinky The Clown]

15. I know tis song has many covers, but this is my favorite - The Pentatonix

Given the sincerity and circumstance, for me none can eclipse Kate McKinnon's. But as a version, this one is great. Plus, a cappella is always a treat.

[pnwmom]

16. Yes, this one is beautiful, too!
