I was wondering why am i fond of this song...

I want to make this song as "|MY Song of the Day| "...

Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley

Album: Grace Released: 1994

UK Chart: 2

Original Artist : Leonard Cohen



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...


what is your song of the day.....?

i got some interpretation rather than from religious point of view..

First Verse: He knew he was in love, but the girl was wary of it. So, he showed her how to love.

Second Verse: The boy knew that he was in love, but felt a need to prove it to himself. He then was attracted to another woman, and essentially cheated. This affair caused him to be broken down emotionally and all of his morals stripped (She broke your throne and she cut your hair). This woman that he had an affair with did, in fact, prove his love for the other girl.

Third Verse: He goes back to the woman he's in love with and likes the familiarity and comfort he finds with her. He sees that she has surrendered everything for him, but knows he has not won because winning is not in the nature of love. He still loves her, but not in the same way since the affair.

Fourth Verse: The girl knows about the boy cheating on her, and their sexual relationship is now suffering. They are making the motions of love, but it's all a facade now.

Fifth Verse: He sees that love is really there, but all he has learned from it was how to hurt the person that made him love. Love is not something that is easy or sudden. It's not necessarily someone who is looking for it. Now love for him is just painful.
