WICHITA, Kan. — A haunting rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” sung by an American high school student into a wishing well in Italy has gained a lot of online attention.

Tiffany Ruan was on a spring trip with a singing group from her school in Wichita, Kansas, last week when she spotted the well in Venice.

She tells the Wichita Eagle that she saw her choir teacher with a group of students singing into the well and she decided to record a video.

The resulting 48-second clip showcases Ruan’s voice as it echoes through the well.

The video has been shared more than 125,000 times and liked more than 300,000 times on Twitter.
