| Song lyrics |
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, 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 a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
You'll say I've took the name in vain,
But I dont even know the name,
But if I did, well, really whats it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesnt matter which you heard
the holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasnt much
I couldnt feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didnt come to fool you.
And even though it all went wrong,
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my *tongue* but Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

One of the most beautiful songs of all time.
I think Jeff Buckley's haunting version is the best, but I've come to appreciate the beauty of the original also. And regardless, Cohen has to be given full credit for writing it.
He actually wrote 15 verses for this song (different verses appear on his live album). He sent all 15 verses' lyrics to former Velvet Underground bassist,keyboardist,violist (also an accomplished solo musician/collaborator/producer) John Cale, who selected 5 verses for his 1992 cover. (His is the one that appears in the movie "Shrek")
Since then, most covers have used the same verses as Cale used. But it was Leonard Cohen who wrote them all. | 01-12-2007 14:38 Petroviic |  2,517 posts
