Radio Paradise (mobile)

Well, I heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
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
And 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
Well, baby, I've been here before,
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march,
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
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 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
Well, maybe there is a God above
But all I've ever learned from love,
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And 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, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Just finished this great feature article from the June 2013 UNCUT. The guy was really anti-drugs & cigs, and no alcohol was found in his system after the autopsy. Why anybody would want to swim in the Mississippi in Memphis at all (I grew up a mile from it, and it was "murky" to say the least way up in Minn.), let alone wearing clothes & boots, is beyond me.

Xeric Mar 02, 2013 - 15:57	The apparent consensus to the contrary, I think Jeff Buckley is generally just awful. SO overblown, overwrought, over the freakin' top. This song, however, is really beautiful. [ Reply ]
BBoyes Jan 30, 2013 - 08:10	This is one of my most favorite albums, best listened to all in one go, since parts are a long segue. I was fortunate enough to see him in a small club here in Utah and he signed this disc. It was a fantastic solo show. Amazing guitarist and vocalist. No telling where he might have gone if he was still alive. [ Reply ]
coachc Jan 24, 2013 - 06:57	I agree that it is not the best version; there are three or four better including Cohen's. But Jeff Buckley live such a tragically short life. Everything he left behind is a gift. Jonno wrote: This is the worst version of this song I know. The John Cale rendition is excellent, "Laughing Len" Cohen's is pretty good too. [ Reply ]

Her version is so overwrought: My top three versions: John Cale Jeff Buckley Rufus Wainright Bultaco wrote: We seem to be hearing Buckley's version of this song on an almost daily basis. Can we dig a little deeper into the archives, please, and try kd lang's, or Cash's or ANYBODY else's version, pleeeeeeease! [ Reply ]
coachc Jan 24, 2013 - 06:23	Still like John Cale's version the best though. [ Reply ]

teleskialaska Jan 23, 2013 - 19:31	There is actually a book about this version of the song, Weid, huh. I copied this link from Amazon: The Holy or the Broken: Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley, and the Unlikely Ascent of "Hallelujah" Alan Light (Author) [ Reply ]
anotherdreamer Jan 15, 2013 - 04:04	I like this song alot, but there are way better versions of it out there. [ Reply ]

MrRedwood Dec 06, 2012 - 14:47	The Atlantic just covered this song — check out How Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' Became Everybody's 'Hallelujah' . And they mention there's a book on the way out: The Holy or the Broken: Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley, and the Unlikely Ascent of "Hallelujah" . [ Reply ]

This is RP Classics pasted in from the bottom of the Music/Artists page. The note there says " top listener ratings", so the rating is apparently the highest each particular song ever achieved. Next time you decide to be obnoxious, perhaps you could make sure you aren't making a fool of yourself first. [ Reply ]
