Wigmore, Gin - Hallelujah Lyrics






Take your last step towards heaven and its glow
Take your last breath of sunlight, don't let it go
Take your last look to remember, so that you know

I wont let you fade from no mind
I wont let you fade from no minds
I wont let you fade from no minds

Hallelujah for these eyes to see your painted life
Hallelujah for the touch of skin to skin with mine
Hallelujah for this mind that keeps our souls combined
Hallelujah for this life that let me be your child

Have your mind, have your strength to stay alive Keep your eyes open with mine

You followed the road for the angels and you left me behind
A face without words can last a lifetime but it's never the same
So, don't say goodbyes that last forever just for a while
Because I'll be by to see you some day soon

Hallelujah for these eyes to see your painted life
Hallelujah for the touch now of skin to skin with mine
Hallelujah for this mind that keeps our souls combined
Hallelujah for this life that let me be your child

Hallelujah, to be a part of your life
To see inside of all your smiles
You're a traffic light of fire
You're a man who I believe will never die

    From SongFacts
    Wigmore won the 2004 US-based International Songwriting Competition with this tune. In doing so, she became the youngest and only unsigned Grand Prize winner in the history of the ISC. According to the ISC, "this intensely personal song reflects a vulnerability and honesty that is both remarkable and stunning. The lyrics, coupled with her unique voice and the song's haunting melody, belie her age and display a maturity of 'an old soul.' The song, which resonated overwhelmingly with the judges, is memorable for its simplicity and beauty."

    Ha, sorry, didn't notice Youtube erased the sound. It's back, so go on enjoying the beautiful song by this very talented woman. :)

  16. O.... V....

    Please put the sound back on :(

  17. j.... c....

    @Kheldaurus How can you be so arrogant to think we are the only thing out there? And how the hell do you know? Have you died and come back? So maybe you should think about what you post before you actually post it.

  18. B.... ....

    Where is the sound?

  19. S.... N....

    One Tree Hill

    S.... N....

    Steven Navarrete Really in what season and episode do you lisent this song? That explain why Gavin DeGraw follow her in Twitter

  20. m.... j....

    one tree hill anyone

  21. l.... ....

    when i listen to music like this i really know that music is a piece of art. this is amazing.

  22. F.... D....

    and you know this how? Have you died yet?

  23. J.... A....

    this is a good tune but i prefer gins voice in a more upbeat aggressive sound...
    man like that is a great example or maybe its that its the first song i really enjoyed by them. actually found an interesting remix youtube.com/watch?v=wflgc1Jb9D8

  24. e.... ....

    Thank you, it is my opinion and I am entitled. I'm still confused to why people think I said anything like, "she shouldn't be singing". Of course she has a right to sing, and also people don't seem to read that I said, plain as day, that she is an amazing song writer. But you say ooooone thing that isn't a compliment and people freak out (you're not freaking out, but others have). So, she sucks at singing, never said she shouldn't keep do'n what she's do'n. Wish I had her success.

  25. L.... E....

    I feel for you. Your like the technically trained film technician/writer/musician who can't enjoy the movie/book/song because they're noticing and picking out all the things they've done wrong instead of enjoying the feelings evoked by the final art piece.

    But you'll probably get your wish anyway since its likely someone will come along with their years of vocal training and perfect pitch and cover her songs .... and probably try to imitate her unique and unusual way of singing ;p

  26. L.... E....

    Your entitled to your opinion, and she herself has admitted to not having a perfect voice in her song "Black Sheep" and having little to no training, but they are her songs and therefore her right to perform them. And since she's a multi-platinum seller in our country New Zealand and gaining appreciation elsewhere, other people like myself enjoy her singing imperfections and all. I love her fresh, quirky voice and obvious enjoyment for singing. Perfect technique doesn't always have that quality

    L.... E....

    In the USA and just discovered her. Absolutely love her

  27. L.... ....

    One Tree Hill <3

  28. m.... ....

    gin is gin .
    nz music iz nz music.
    get ova urself, ths is tha sht, wen u coming bak to Otown baby?

  29. M.... T....

    love this song and love her.. jus lost my gramps and this song for one reason or another reminds me of him and brings tears to my eyes...she has a gift a real genuine voice not fake and all disorted. soo many ppl out there wish they had that sound but cant find it... but with gin it cums sooo naturally. shes Diffenitly giffted.

  30. B.... ....

    Beautiful song.

  31. J.... D....

    No heaven or afterlife? Screenshots or there is.

  32. B.... H....

    made me cry

  33. J.... F....

    Thank the Goddess this wasn't a Jeff Buckley cover.

    J.... F....

    Jeff Buckleys version is a cover

  34. T.... T....

    no words can describe the beauty of this song/her voice no matter what anyone says.

  35. T.... G....

    Or Ill have to set my handsome hound on you......

  36. T.... G....

    Boys, time out.... Talent here, dont ruin it:)

  37. E.... H....

    her and james blunt need to do a song

  38. A.... W....

    Gin, I love you the emotion behind this song is so strong. You have also inspired me to chase my dreams regardless of the fact that we both live in a small corner of the world. <3

  39. e.... ....

    good one. grow up kid, and pay attention in your literature classes, because you clearly must learn how to read. enjoy your friendless life. :)

  40. j.... ....

    maybe you should read MORE books because it hasn't helped you at all. you're still sound like an idiot. enjoy your thumbs down.

  41. e.... ....

    ok,....it's obvious now that you're maybe 10 years old. do you not realize that to get a degree you have to read? probably not since you're clearly illiterate. and, I clearly explain why it's fact and not opinion, because of text book, vocal technique standards. nice try kiddo! I'm sure in a few years you'll look back on this and realize how unintelligent you sound.

  42. j.... ....

    where to start? first of all who's wrong here? you didn't mention that you don't know the difference between fact and opinion. first you said you had a degree now you said you read some books, which one is it? if you honestly think her unique material would be better served by a different singer you shoud take your books or degree whichever(maybe you just read an article?) and wipe your ass with it because that's all they're worth. PEACE! OUT!

  43. e.... ....

    ah the sign of someone who knows they're wrong...anger. thank you for making this easy. I have read many books on vocal pedagogy and she does everything wrong. again, facts. and if you could point out the part where I said you shouldn't like her voice then I'll gladly apologize and take it back. have a nice day! :)

  44. j.... ....

    "it's just a fact" and " simple facts" ? Did you get out a caliper and measure that? No! Those are opinions dumbass, maybe you should "read a book sometime." Go back to your boring Bieber and Beyonce and commitee voted on Idol winners and quit whining about someone who paints outside the lines a bit, Princess!

  45. e.... ....

    haha, you just admitted I'm right genius. the debate wasn't about her artistry, which if you were literate, would notice that I very much acknowledge hers as being brilliant in song writing. it was about whether she had a GOOD singing voice. it's a fact she doesn't. no insult, it's just a fact, poor vocal technique along with no natural vocal warmth. simple facts. read a book sometime.

  46. E.... E....

    You have a degree in vocal music education? please ask them to return all your money because you obviously didn't learn anything at all.Unique doesn't mean good, but in this case means "artist." You know what does that means right? A true artist with a unique singing and song writing style. Nice try grandpa.

  47. e.... ....

    and you are obviously tone def. Unique does not equate to good. but what do I know? I just have a degree in vocal music education. I like that song a lot, actually like most of her songs quite a bit. someone else should sing them though. nice try kid.

  48. E.... E....

    you obviously know nothin' about singing. She has a unique voice, andshe is always in tune. In other words, you are stupid :)

  49. B.... ....

    Wow, what a beautiful powerful song. It really brings back memories...so sad. Thanks for posting.

  50. Z.... ....

    so unique so amazing. its a fresh taste on music instead of that Justin Bieber crap and One Direction.

  51. t.... F....

    Both she and the song are fabulous.

  52. t.... F....

    uniquely awesome

  53. t.... F....

    phenomenal

  54. T.... K....

    Love this song, so sad. Plus, I love her voice!

  55. e.... ....

    Brilliant songwriting, GREAT lyrics, very powerful....terrible singing voice...kinda takes away from it.

  56. j.... s....

    Im tearin up & what not !

  57. E.... R....

    It makes me regret telling my father I'm never speaking to him again.

  58. E.... J....

    Wow, what a beautiful song & if you know the story behind it you simply can't help but cry.
    She totally deserved to win the International Songwriting Competition with a song like this.

  59. J.... B....

    I'm crying.

  60. T.... ....

    i knoq, such a great scene and such a cute little baby *-*

  61. O.... A....

    THE SONG FOR HER FATHER

  62. f.... e....

    lol music gin...

  63. r.... ....

    should have put this song into the black sheep album to, its one of my fav song

  64. t.... F....

    I admit liking the other older version of the song better myself. Also viewed the live version of "Don't Stop" (Lowe's song) and it was incredible.

  65. t.... F....

    Wow! What a pleasant surprise. Like others I'm sure, I was perusing YouTube for the "Lowe's" ad song and found her. Gin Wigmore is a real talent. Yeah, she does sound a bit like Macy Gray/Amy Winehouse, but so what? Neither has a patent on this type of female vocal. She is expressive and beautiful in her delivery and writing, even if not entirely original. listen to the other less raw (I believe older) version.

  66. S.... I....

    i dont know if i like love this song or not. she has such an odd voice that keeps me pressing the replay button.......haha

  67. J.... ....

    Again: How does the meaning of the song make it original?

  68. D.... ....

    I'm sorry? Why are you calling her unoriginal? This was her way to express to her family that she was getting over her dad's passing, so why don't you just sit your stupid, critical ass down and shut up.

  69. J.... ....

    The fact that her father died doesn't make her music any more original.

  70. J.... ....

    What an unoriginal, unimaginative and boring artist.

  71. A.... J....

    a tree played the song???? Im so confused *.* :D

  72. C.... ....

    If it werent for the lyrics in the description box I would not have understood a single word she sang. Not to downplay her musical talent I like the rhythm and flow of the song I just don't know what she's saying.

  73. A.... ....

    18 people dont know what music is

  74. m.... d....

    excellent what a voice, a true talent love it,

  75. C.... G....

    ugh!! She has a hideous voice.

  76. M.... C....

    I really like this song, and She wrote this for her father.who passed away when she was a teen.. This reminds me of my Gram who I lost in January..

  77. s.... ....

    You're a horrible, mean-spirited person.

  78. A.... Z....

    She is really wonderful!

  79. P.... G....

    Gin you are an inspiration to the world

  80. B.... P....

    "Hallelujah", won the US-based International Songwriting Competition in 2004,[4] when she beat 11,000 songwriting aspirants from 77 countries to become the youngest and only unsigned Grand Prize winner in the history of the ISC, so hmmmm go fu*k yourself puta

  81. j.... ....

    Crawl back down your miserable hole! And please don't come back out.

  82. P.... G....

    Thank you very much for this song, I like it so much :)!!

  83. t.... ....

    Thanks Gary McCormick for spreading the word about a great song/ writer. Great song for this anniversary of the lost lives of CHCh. RIP all. Love from Japan.

  84. B.... ....

    Gin gives me all the more reasons to be a proud kiwi. :)

  85. A.... C....

    one tree played like 20 seconds of this ong and i had to find it and i did! love this song ♥

  96. k.... ....

    @footballcrazedful nnNNoooope... it isn't!
    Gin wrote this for her father... (thankfulness feelings), and evethou we may (in a quite romantic way) say it was made for EVERY PARENT it was done for Mr. Wigmore I'm afraid.
    If you are not Steve's son or daughter... but you really really feel it... weeeell... take it easy chap... relax... talk with a professional.
    If you are trying to be funny, sharp of clever... then you are a fkn moron!!!

  97. A.... ....

  98. Y.... Z....

    This song is made for Steve Jobs.

  99. D.... R....

    @SoldierFortune23 LOLOL

  100. H.... R....

    A few months ago, when my father was dying, my mom and I played songs for him hoping the healing powers of music would wake him up. I didn't know this song then, since I heard it a few days ago I've been back in yearning misery. I really miss my dad T__T This song has a strong impact on me, it is really bringing up the sad memory of waiting and hoping for my daddy's eyes to open and him to be okay, I wish I had played it for him.
