Leonard Cohen's recent passing resulted in a bunch of online tributes, and a lot of covers of his iconic track, "Hallelujah."
And for good reason too, the song is absolutely beautiful.
Couple the song's touching lyrics with the voice of 10-year-old Kaylee Rodgers from Donaghadee, Northern Ireland and you've got one heck of a "Hallelujah" cover.
Kaylee suffers from Autism and ADHD, and took up singing to build her confidence.
People were admittedly smitten with Rodgers' voice and started liking and sharing the video left and right.
Kaylee's school principal, Colin Millar, said in an interview with UTV that her talent has grown immensely over the past two years, and the change in not only her voice, but her demeanor, is apparent:
"For a child who came in P4 and wouldn't really talk, wouldn’t really read out in class, to stand and perform in front of an audience is amazing. It takes a lot of effort on Kaylee’s part," Millar said.
Beautiful.
