whenever I try to write about this song, something just stops me. because it is simply too beautiful. and even though words are generous and alive, I just have to refrain from trying to ruin it, by speaking about it and I always end up listening to it over and over, " baffled" by it's immense warmth... and I feel overwhelmed and sad and happy... and alive.
yes and I forgot to mention that the song was written by Leonard Cohen. This is Jeff Buckley's version. video version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AratTMGrHaQ&feature=PlayList&p=EBE57D3AEDDEA68E&playnext=1&index=1 audio http://www.trilulilu.ro/vilyaarda/cb6b447ad90de6 Lyrics : 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 ya? Well it goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Well 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 And she broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Well baby I've been here before I've seen this room and I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew ya I've seen your flag on the marble arch Love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Well 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? And remember when I moved in you? And the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Well maybe there's a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who'd OUT DREW YA And it's not a cry that you hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
