You've heard "Hallelujah" a hundred times before, but never like this…
A Utah mom named Shannon Abbott recently posted a fun, lighthearted video online next to her newborn baby boy. Little did she know, it would rack up the views and quickly go viral with more than two million Facebook views! Shannon decided to rework Leonard Cohen's classic song "Hallelujah" putting her own spin on it and writing the words about the ups and downs of being a stay-at-home mom to her two children.
"Sit right here and I’ll tell you a tale of a mother’s day and mommy fails. It’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it…" the song begins.
"I am thrilled and humbled that this silly little song that I wrote for a silly little talent show in teeny tiny Payson Utah, could bring so much joy to people around the WORLD!," wrote Abbott on her Facebook page. Shannon has been so blown away by all the attention that she's even thinking about following her passion for music and turning it into a career!
"It just goes to show that no matter where you are from, or what your background is, we all feel the power of music and the love we have for our sweet children. How blessed we are!," she said.
Please enjoy Shannon's creative spin on a classic, and SHARE it with your friends on Facebook!
