Description
Experience Level: Entry
I would like you to record a video of yourself singing "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen (especially popularized by Rufus Wainwright and Jeff Buckley).
However, instead of singing the words, "Hallelujah," you'll sing "My Bayani" (bye - AH - nee). The purpose of this video is as a birthday surprise for my friend, Bayani Birkinbine.
Here's Leonard Cohen's version of the song with piano: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR0DKOGco_o
And here's a karaoke version with piano: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf6X5fpP7Mc?
Here's a version with guitar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxUImfvzM08

It's okay if you're not a professional singer. As long as you can hit the notes, you'll be fine. Male singer preferred. Please film horizontally (full screen), not vertically. Also, if you'd rather have someone accompany you with an instrument or accompany yourself, that's fine. There's no rush on this project. I'll pay $20 for a karaoke version, and $30 if you play the guitar or piano while singing.
Below are the lyrics that I would like you to sing. Please note - there are some changes to the original lyrics besides "Bayani" replacing "Hallelujah"
Well I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this: the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king proclaiming “My Bayani.”
My Bayani [x4]
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew your name, Bayani
My Bayani [x4]
Baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor (you know)
I used to live alone before I knew you
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
He’s a pure and he’s a perfect man, Bayani
My Bayani [x4]
There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do you?
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was yours, Bayani
My Bayani [x4]
Maybe there's a God above
All I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
He’s a pure and he’s a perfect man, Bayani
My Bayani [x13]
