I've heard there was a secert chord
That David played. and it pleased the lord
But you don't really care for music, do you
It goes like this
The forth, and 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
in the moon light
Overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne
She cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah

Maybe I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before, I know you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It"s a cold and its a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah

There was a time you'd let me know
Whats real and going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you
Remember when I moved you
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah

Maybe theres a god above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who out drew you
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who sees the light
I a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

I just heard this song last week on One Tree Hill.Absolutely loved it !!!


Then I kind of sent it to someone as a message of love and understanding in so many ways...I couldnt think of a better song than this.


Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

Leonard Cohen is a genius...Jeff Buckley sings a great version of it as well.

I love Imogen Heap

This song always makes me a little misty

If Buckleys' version does not touch you you are not human

Jeff Buckley's recording of this song is one of the finest pieces of recorded music anywhere.

Well, at least you aren't alone! (=

No, got my little voices talking to me...and Jeff's voice as well....I cant stop playing this song...Once I start, thats it for me.

i have to confess, i have it on my live space. it always inspires me to write

I kinda get speechless when i hear it...like I said, it touches my soul like no other song ever has.When I first hear it, I called my b/f in Maryland, she knew what I was talkign about.We had an hour long convo. about it alone.

And I sent a link to someone very special to me, hoping he would feel whats in my soul with it as well.

Great Song!

I love Nick Cave rocks!!!!!

I heard it on the shrek soundtrack...I loved it, and all the eels songs too.
