There have been many tributes to the victims of the attacks in Paris over the last few days, and one guitarist is doing his part to bring people together through song.

The singer performed Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" throughout the day on November 15 in the Place de la Republique. His inspirational rendition of the song moved people to sing along with him.

Several people took short Twitter videos of the guitarists performances from different points in the day. The man was singing well into the night.
