Dod 316 proudly presents their heartfelt rendition of the iconic song “Hallelujah,” originally composed by Leonard Cohen. This new interpretation is the result of sincere dedication, reflecting the band’s identity, values, and beliefs while staying true to the song’s timeless message.
In this version, the music flows with a beautiful balance of soft and energetic elements. The gentle piano, played by Alexandre, and the acoustic guitar, by Marie-Ève, create a tender opening, before building up into a more powerful rock arrangement. Charles’ drums, Antoine’s bass, and Hoa’s electric guitar bring an energetic layer, leading to an epic finale that resonates deeply with listeners. Central to the arrangement is Abigail’s emotionally rich voice, which breathes new life into the lyrics, invoking deep emotions of love and hope.
The word “Hallelujah,” derived from Hebrew, means “to express gratitude to God for His blessings,” and in their rendition, Dod 316 embraces this meaning wholeheartedly. Through their performance, they celebrate a message of universal love—one that transcends cultural, political, ethnic, and social boundaries. They believe that the song’s powerful message has the ability to heal broken hearts and provide hope, serving as a guiding light even in the darkest times.
Dod 316 hopes that their rendition of “Hallelujah” will find a special place in your playlists and that it touches the hearts of all who hear it, just as it has deeply affected them. Their ultimate wish is for the song to spread love and peace to every listener.
