Rufus Wainwright Hallelujah

I love this song so much. I liked it so much that after listening to it 4 times in a row, I was like "I'm going to favorite this.." Then realized I already had it favorited. =D

I, too , have listened to at least a dozen artists sing this and Rufus' rendition is the best, by far, IMHO. He has a wonderful voice and I love his piano playing. Take a look at his live performance of this on an Irish tv show - sublime.

Yep and how beautiful love can be - almost like a hallelujah experience. To attempt to find deep religious signficance in it is silly. It is a song about LOVE between two people. It uses biblical references only to make this point.

=( i´m very sad

No need to fight. Just enjoy the pretty music :)

it doesn't matter what is your religion people, stop fighting,no one can says that god exists or not.
just enjoy the song its very good!

Cohen is using Old Testament imagery (from the story of King David, i think there is a bit from the story of Samson as well ) to talk about a relationship. I think its fascinating, by describing a love affair in Biblical terms Cohen ascribes it an almost theological importance, its kind of ironic as a transient sexual relationship is compared to matters of eternal significance.

I love all these Youtube dumbasses who think this is a Christian hymn or something. Listen to the lyrics retards.

Do you know what Hallelujah means? lol

I think it means Praise
