Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

Jeff Buckley Hallelujah Official Music Video. Original version by Leonard Cohen. © 2007 Columbia Records / Sony BMG Music Entertainment.


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...

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...

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...

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...

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 in the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah...

This man was born to sing this song. So powerful and beautiful and sad and piercing all at the same time. You can feel his soul pouring out with every breath. It's so pure, it could never be done better. The other versions just don't have that same ethereal purity. His version is absolutely divine...just divine. I could die in his voice***sigh***

Just close your eyes and let the sound of this poem fill your soul and your heart and just feel grateful to who sang or wrote this wonderful gift for humans.

How did he hold those high notes at the end for so long? That's impressive.
