https://youtube/watch?v=HKnxmkOAj88 Day #11 of Alternative Rock Month: Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley. From the album Grace, released 1994. Arguably Buckleys most famous work, this was originally written and recorded by Leonard Cohen in 1984 on his album Various Positions. Cohens rendition was released as a single in Spain and the Netherlands, but got little attention in the United States. “Well Ive heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the Lord But you dont 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 Well your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya She tied you to her kitchen chair And she broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah But baby Ive been here before Ive seen this room and Ive walked this floor You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya And Ive seen your flag on the marble arch And love is not a victory march Its a cold and its a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Well there was a time when you let me know Whats really going on below But now you never show that to me do ya But remember when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Maybe theres a God above But all Ive ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya And its not a cry that you hear at night Its not somebody whos seen the light Its a cold and its a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...”
