Hallelujah ?

This song sung by Rufus Wainwright, originally by Leonard Cohen was stuck to my head for two fucking days. I swear i've heard it a million times somewhere and suddenly i was just thinking about it the whole day. And i was right .. all of us must have heard it.. its like the theme song whenever some sad scene goes on in a movie.

I kept thinking like why am i thinking of some Hallelujah song in my mind when i google up the lyrics just now .. i just realise its a song containing explicit biblical references. -_-

But its really nice. I really like it and it gives me a sad emo kind of feeling. Gosh i'm weird.

Oh, wondering where you might have heard it ? Shrek and The OC lah .. thats the two that i know.. it probably came up in some other movies as well :)

Oh here are the lyrics by Rufus Wainwright. Read how intricating it is.

I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, 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 and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Mabye I have been here before
I know this room,
I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time
You let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you?
The holy dark was moving to
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe there's a god above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
And it's not a cry you can hear at night,
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,Hallelujah, Hallelujah
