Digital platforms across the internet have welcomed a new rendition of a beloved classic. Lana R. Kissa, a songwriter and musician, has released her own version of "Hallelujah," a song originally written and performed by Leonard Cohen.
The release comes at a time when Cohen's "Hallelujah," celebrated for its deep emotional resonance and often played at weddings, has faced some controversy. The song's lyrics, which have been interpreted in various ways, have not always been welcomed in religious ceremonies, sparking debates about its suitability in such settings.
Leonard Cohen, who passed away in 2016, had a clear stance on his song's integrity, insisting that the lyrics remain unchanged. Respecting Cohen's wishes, Lana R. Kissa chose to create her own version of "Hallelujah" rather than altering the original. This new release, available since July 27, aims to cater to those who seek a song with a similar spirit that can be more comfortably integrated into religious and wedding ceremonies.
In addition to her new "Hallelujah," Lana R. Kissa has been actively creating and sharing music. Her album "Skipped a Beat," released in December 2023, explores themes of happiness and life's journey. She has also released the singles "Grant Us Freedom", "Bright-on" and several music videos, including ones for her songs "Yellow Tulip", "Save Like A Child" and the new "Hallelujah."
As a DIY musician, she embraces the challenges of producing her music independently. From songwriting to video production, she navigates a path that demands dedication and a wide array of skills. Despite the grueling hours, Lana believes that music and art are profound reflections of the human soul, embodying our deepest creativity and identity.When love is in the air, angels sing Hallelujah.
