In this stunning music video, a choir performs a chilling rendition of Hallelujah in an empty pool. Cian Ducrot is an Irish singer and songwriter who recently released a new album titled ‘Victory.’ He also released a stunning cover of Hallelujah, and it might become your new favorite.
Sitting on a bench at the bottom of an empty pool, he begins to play the first few rich cords of the song on the piano. The sound is poignantly beautiful.
