Something you should know about Hallelujah Lyrics

Title: Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah lyrics

Artist: Jeff Buckley

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah


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...

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
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah

hallelujah...

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 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...

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
but remember when i moved in you
and the holy dove was moving too
and every breath we drew was hallelujah

well, maybe there's a god above
but all i've ever learned from love
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
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

hallelujah...

There's something you should know too. They were written by Leonard Cohen.

"All Things Are Quite Silent" is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever listened to. It is a rather old song but I do appreciate the value still.

Probably the worst possible choice you could ever make for this poll. Congratulations.
Sorry you feel that way darv, but when you break down the song lyrics, it is quite possibly the greatest historical trace of popular music ever done. The only other that even compares would be Creeque Alley. If the fact that the title has the word American in it bothers you, well I do understand the short memories of the canucks. 😉

All are excellent choices, although with regards to Lennon, Imagine was a great song, no doubt, but his most beautiful song may be the obsure hit "Beautiful Boy" which he wrote for his son Sean. IMO.

Another excellent choice. Two other Clapton songs merit mention here as well: "Layla" and "In My Father's Eyes".
