One of my favorite songs, by the unparalleled Leonard Cohen.
My mom and dad have been requesting this for a while, so I wanted to do it for them. Love them so very much.

This song says to me that life is what it is, good, bad, whatever...it does what it does, and there are many kinds of Hallelujahs...the kind you sing in jubilation and the kind you cry when all feels lost.

Lots of love to you tonight,
Terra


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 you?
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...

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
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...

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

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...

Maybe there's a God above
all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
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

  • I live on the other side of the planet (Russia) and do not understand the lyrics. I have no music sense and I can`t hear if a false note or correct. I am gay and I can`t feel female beauty. And yet, I am fascinated by Your magic power , I feel happy and cry when I hear your songs. Thank you!

  •  Sends chills up my spine.
