Vocal Line - Hallelujah

Music & Lyrics: Leonard Cohen
Arrangement: Jens Johansen

Lyrics:
"Hallelujah"

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, a major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

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 a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Baby I have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew ya'
It's not a cry you can 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

Halle-lu-u-jah

*blink* I'm at a total loss for words, but I have a feeling I heard the angels humming along and God tapping his foot. You guys make me cry with overwhelming emotions every time I play your song.

I'm not sure I've ever heard an a cappella version of this song that I like as well as this one. This is wonderful.

i love this song and i also love this group singing it. we're doing the arrangement at my school now since someone showed this to my choir teacher. love vocal line!

[Yossus]

@grinddrengen no worries... i sung this in an amateur choir when i was in school, i was bass and no one could take it... now i'm in my university's choir and an a cappella group but still i know no one who can hit it... i'm bass 2 and both the guy singing it with me and myself can just get to the bottom e... and if i remember correctly, the bottom note is a d or even a c... so no worries, that's something for trained singers ;)
