Dod 316, the family band inspired by love and faith, is thrilled to announce their heartfelt rendition of Leonard Cohen’s timeless classic, “Hallelujah.” This reimagined version pays homage to the original while blending the band’s unique identity, values, and musical artistry.
Opening with Alexandre’s tender piano and Marie-Ève’s acoustic guitar, the arrangement evolves into a powerful, rock-infused finale driven by Charles’ dynamic drums, Antoine’s resonant bass, and Hoa’s expressive electric guitar. At the core of this moving interpretation is Abigail Smith’s soulful voice, which brings profound emotion to the lyrics of love, hope, and gratitude.
The band, whose name draws from the Hebrew word “Dod” (beloved) and the biblical verse John 3:16, seeks to honor the message behind “Hallelujah.” “‘Hallelujah’ means expressing gratitude to God for His blessings,” the band shares. “Through our version, we celebrate this universal message of love, hope, and healing that transcends boundaries.”
Dod 316’s rendition serves as a beacon of light, aiming to heal broken souls and inspire listeners. The track showcases the band’s ability to weave together intimate acoustic moments with powerful rock energy, creating an unforgettable listening experience.
