    a) throne. it's spelled throne.

    b) reference in the line "she broke your throne, she cut your hair" is to Samson, not David.

    c) it's NOT a song about David (nor Samson). It merely refers to them, amidst many biblical references, and seems to be about a relationship or relationships generally. Since there are apparently something like 80 original verses, I think you should feel free to hear in it whatever you like. But you ought not make the mistake of imposing your presumption on others.

    agreed! :) what the writer intends and the what the listener takes away may be entirely different, but it takes nothing away from the art of the song nor from the writer's intent if that is the case.

    I think music, like art, is subjective....beautiful song, no matter what the lyrics meant to the writer!

    If you have a second, check out a very talented 11 year-old, Zachary Dickerson, playing and singing this song.  Thanks!

    John Cale, the first to cover this song, asked Cohen to send him the lyrics. Cohen send him 15 PAGES of lyrics. I first heard it on the I'm your Fan
