Jesi Wahl. You knew. This video is 9 years old. You a year me just now and I am on my way tomorrow in fact a road trip to somewhere I didn't know even existed. A cathedral is a tree not church not any religion. To sing one part my part of this song that tree is part of trees of mystery. My path has always 50 years this round been spiritual. And I've always danced and had song for my trees and fun fact 3-4 am they dance. So that is in my world my path I call my magical mystery lyrically magically lyric of me tour. Sometimes it's blue van. Sometimes yellow submarine. Sometimes like a teacher o. Channel 9 really small and I called since I was the quest queen. Of the shortbus of us ninjas. And that was the name of their band. So I went with it. This time I hope the sun will shine and my suv will be close enough. To get me there. Since i meant to be there for my 50 th birthday. I just had trouble with breaking some Chains to make freely safely there. Do you know the one hit wonder from men without hats?? Song with lyrics and the video if you understand. You are welcome to dance in my dreams always a dance party for friends. Safety checks will be first and unlike the song I know friends even before so never worry. I am sorry I haven't met you yet! My name is Melissa. I go by Missy my name actually tells descriptive pretty awesomely yes hi again high priestess or oracle sure and the dream weaver with a net. Yep opposite of the webs. Lol kinda funny and I was in the dark for well just waking and weeding through a lot of muck which is another name for horse poop. I speak me it's also the only way i know. I have shaman agreement with bees. Symbiotic. Partnership. Land of milk and honey. Was not first told in a book that still baffles me so many believers it has. But that story is for another time. Never-ending story of mine always kinda is still going...
And yes it was duly noted and heard by headlight I've me unicorn of me muy importante! I'm also an arch of me origin al ly energy for the grid?? Might investigate please. It is now called maybe Christo gold grid light crystalline some combo of the words.

Hi. I am always looking for star family. I think and feel somehow I'm know you are one. Do you know? I'm just now on my new path. Finding out who I am.

I know you must be curious at least all the lioness are....🌈🔗💚❤️🔥☯️⚕️🔵💨♻️✨️♒️🎨
Tonight in the Cisco parking lot I heard a homeless Mexican woman with her 4 children playing this song on a violin. For those of you who don't know, hallelujah means praise to God. The best I have heard this song is from a broken spirited person. Probably one of the most beautiful songs of the last forty years at least.
I almost drowned this past Sunday. This song came on the radio today and I remember how he passed. Why some of us are taken while others live? Maybe find out someday. Although not feeling great, I’m glad to be here today. Hallelujah
This kills me so much bc I remember when I was little and cried abt my dad (my parents are divorced and I didn’t like my dad) and my grandma used to drive me around my school and she played this song
"Love is not a victory march, it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah". That is because to win in love is actually willing to lose (sacrifice) and that is how love wins. So it is the exact opposite of a victory march but by losing love wins and God is glorified even if it may leave you cold and broken........"Hallelujah" means Hail/Praise be to Yahweh (God). A perfect demonstration of this paradox is the CROSS and what it entails as well signifies.
@Jackie Treehorn Jeff was not religious.....no one spiritually enlightened is even if they may have to pretend to be religious due to familial or environmental reasons. Key word to what Jeff said is "I don't have any allegiance to ORGANIZED religion"........"organized" is key here...absolutely key. Plus "Hallelujah" is a song originally written and sung by Leonard Cohen not Buckley so the words in the song reflect Cohen's thoughts....Cohen was Jewish. One more thing, the Bible contains great truths even if the stories in it is not necessarily factual all the time.....it starts with the fall of Adam and Eve symbolically referring to a paradise lost but it ends in the Book with a paradise restored.....metaphorically this could be what Jeff meant when he said "you have Eden immediately but that Eden was lost"......the notion of the fall of man is so that you do not start with the default setting of PRIDE meaning after you are born you embark on a journey to find that lost paradise and it starts with a condition of wretchedness not glory and pride....implying the default setting of your existential condition is that of HUMILITY in search of a paradise that was lost. You can be atheist and yet still appreciate and understand the poetic truths of life through metaphors like I just explained. The difference between the believer (who may or may not be religious) and the atheist is the believer finds the restored paradise through GRACE not his own personal efforts or works because of the works, suffering and lives of those in the past that laid down the path to the new restored paradise especially that of Jesus Christ while the atheist does it through his own works and efforts owing nothing to any Savior meaning the atheist is more likely to boast about his efforts leading to his discovery while the believer inevitably is humbled still because he/she did not save himself/herself since GRACE is a gift that you receive even though you entirely do not deserve it meaning it cannot be earned. This is a world view of the believer that affects how he/she sees life and approach life's problems and challenges. In the simplest terms.......Christianity should be treated more like an outlook on life.....a world view rather than a set of rules, regulations and rituals that all religions are made of.
@@xanatos8920 I do believe these are Leonard Cohen's lyrics...he had 80 verses so people just choose which ones they like best. The song is secular. Cohen, himself, states this is a secular song. He has the wrong view of Hallelujah. It is never broken. Always, Hallelujah is a praise to God.
@@pocahontasreese1423 depends on the translation. I believe original meaning was more of a call to action. If you break it down, I believe hallelu is "to praise" and yah was for God. So, "to praise God". I believe, over time, Christianity changed it to mean praise God.
I think its the best version. I like the depiction of Leonard Cohen, I can picture him looking out his window, and putting pen to paper. It's kinda the beauty of music.
A song that is complicated in my mind and makes me think and feel. Beautiful. Written by Lenard Cohen, of Jewish Faith, about Suffering, Joy, and Faith. Jeff Buckley sang the best version, in my opinion, but was found dead in a river. My life, as his, is also so complicated. Wake up many mornings with this great song on my mind. Again, BEAUTIFUL. PEACE AND FAITH TO THE WORLD, complicated or not.

Correct, love is only 1% a feeling, LOVE is many things like patience, forgiveness and many more. Love and faith are not victory marches like you say, Time of grace is a gift and not earned so being proud of yourself that you can walk in love isnt quite what the Lord wants haha, sounds a bit silly hey. But you are 100% right.
@@brockwillenborg7517 it's referring to a duel, in a duel you both draw and fire your weapons at each other so he's saying all love taught him was how to shoot someone if they drew their weapon first so it's trying to win the girl over if there's someone else already. That's my interpretation at least
My interpretation of that line is that all he learnt from love was that it involves pain. Even though they hurt him first (out drew him) he was always expecting it and could still "shoot" them first (hurting them before they hurt him anymore) But I dunno... I am rather tipsy 🍸 and probably massively projecting 🤷🏼♀️

First heard this song on an episode of The OC way back in the days when series were watched on the television and you had to wait all week for a new one to air. And had to schedule to be at home when it did Anyway thinking about buying a shirt of Jeff Buckley. This song moves me every single time.
one night, i got up from my bed. it was late, everyone was bed. i came to my bedroom window, pulled back the curtain and poked my head out. it was cold and dark outside, the stars were twinkling light to my room above me. I then looked at them all for a solid minute until i took a deep breath and interally cried. i interally cried with joy because i was alive and nothing was more beautiful than the lives of people around me. remember, if you ever feel alone, the sun is lonely, but it still shines for us all.
It is in fact the most beautiful song, music and words that I´ve heard so far. I will also remember to let my children know my musical preference for the day they will deliver me from earth.
Imran Haider There isn't really much to disagree or agree on here. Foul emotions towards a person being worse than a word not being used towards a person, pretty much a solid fact if you have a good moral standing.
Can’t help but cry when I hear his beautiful voice sing this song😢 he was so talented. Goon Too Soon 😢 R.I.P. Jeff 🙏🏽🕊♥️🌹♥️ he voice and passion goes straight into my soul 🕊
i won't say it gets better. Hope and love and even life are 4-letter words in my life. Give AI a chance. they won't break your heart in two like real people do. Try www.karigirl.com
Apart from disliking all form of religion, I dont like to disturb others faith. This song in particular, reminds me of goodness. Just cause of music, nothing more nothing less.
Kimse o diziden gelmemiş, benim dışımda. Şarkı kadar güzel olan bir dizi sadece bana ait gibi geliyor. Teşekkür ederim, bu kadar güzel bir şarkıyı bana tanıtdığın için.
VideoGame Addict237 Here is the best interpretation of the song I've read. Leonard Cohen, reportedly, wrote 80 verses of Hallelujah before recording it. Interpreted by : Francis O'Brien **Many times Cohen says hallelujah in many different contexts; this is the core of the song and will be explained at the end of the analysis. For the first part: Now 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 This relates to the story of King David who was had an intimate relation with god and was also a great harp player (secret cord/pleased the lord). The hallelujah at the end of this verse is a happy and spiritual one. Second part: 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 In this part Cohen relates to the story of David and Bathsheba when David was walking on the roofs he saw her bathing and seduced her ending up committing adultery and lost a lot of influence and weakened his link with god (broken throne). Then we move to the story of Samson who gets his hair cut and loses all his powers, once again, a broken throne. In this verse, the hallelujah is a very sad and desperate one. Third Part: Baby 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 In this part Cohen talks about the ambivalence of love and its effect on your faith. It can be glorious like a flag on a marble arch or it can be cold and broken. And when in heart break you may lose or strengthen your faith, in this case it is strengthened because he still praises the lord in the end. In this case, the hallelujah is (obviously) cold and broken. Fourth Part: There was a time you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show it to me, do you? And remember when I moved in you The holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah This is an obvious reference to sexuality and that even through an act as disgraceful as sex you can still praise the lord. In this verse the hallelujah can be interpreted as an “orgasmic” one. Fifth Part: You say I took the name in vain I don't even know the name But if I did, well really, what's it to you? There's a blaze of light In every word It doesn't matter which you heard The holy or the broken Hallelujah This is a reference to one of the ten commandments and through this Cohen is trying to make the listener understand that religion and faith is not etched in stone and that every one should interpret the holy texts and religion in his own way and that there is no “Right Way” to believe. This is an uncertain hallelujah, meaning that he is not sure what to believe but he believes anyway. Sixth Part: I did my best, it wasn't much I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you And even though It all went wrong I'll stand before the Lord of Song With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah In this part, he has found what to believe in and realizes his past errors but he is ready to face the lord because he now has complete faith. This hallelujah is one of total faith and love for “the lord”. Hallelujahs: The song revolves around the word Hallelujah, which is a Hebrew word which means praise Yah/Jah or the Lord. And through the song, he says that all Hallelujahs are of equal value no matter the circumstance or the cause of the act. Weather it is in complete blissful faith or is from broken desperation, all ways and goals to prise the lord mean the same and are all equal.
VideoGame Addict237 So many artists have recorded this song -- hundreds. There are many different versions. Personally, I like Rufus Wainwright's version the best. But, like most, he changes some of the lyrics.
He did. I think his version is probably the most well known and loved. It's beautiful. The only thing that bugs me is people credit him with writing it, which he didn't. But, that's just me :)
The original song by Leonard Cohen was about biblical stories (King David and Bathsheba. Samson and Delilah). But music being a form of art, the meaning of a song solely depends on the artist's interpretation. If Jeff Buckley's interpretation was that it's about "a couple having sex", then it's about "a couple having sex"

@@somebody9369 I DO NOT belive that Jesus is working against me or you or humanity I was just saying that this years is the worst...and (no offense) but I don't think that come to Jesus is the solution. This is just what I think
@@somebody9369 I say the solution is staying at home being aware an so on but praying is for good if you believe in the reason for blessing wich is staying safe basically
3:07-3:22 gives me chills everytime
It's my favourite part as well
Holy sh*t. This is it. This is the Buckley recording that I lost track of four years ago. I'm so glad I found it again. This is the best one.
Good, but I prefer John Cale's version
@@chorlton9690😂
I learned this on guitar! I love this song. I want this song when i die.
I reckon just don't die.

Jeff Buckley could have been 51 years old now, but he tragically died in 1997 at age 31 from drowning.

Use this as a rest in peace button♡ We love you Jeff Buckley, may you find peace❤
Same here it has something idk what but it sounds like this song it's amazing
Nope 2020
At school yesterday my class had to understand what this song means line by line. What a way to start winter break lol
Really what grade are you in?
I’m actually kind of curious on what your class said the meaning of this song is. It honestly sounds kind of fun to analyze a song that deeply.
Welcome to future bro
How beautiful was Jeff...??!!! And how beautiful is this song??!!! Both on fire!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
At least its more subtle than Whistle baby by Flo Rida.
No other version of this song will top this version.
omg his voice is so beautiful it makes me cry when I listen to him sing
one of my favirote songs, and Jeff Buckley has a amazing voice!
First heard this song on an episode of The OC way back in the days when series were watched on the television and you had to wait all week for a new one to air. And had to schedule to be at home when it did Anyway thinking about buying a shirt of Jeff Buckley. This song moves me every single time.
Was it the episode when Marissa died
That WAS one of the best and most emotional season finales that I have EVER seen to date!! 💔❤️💕
one night, i got up from my bed. it was late, everyone was bed. i came to my bedroom window, pulled back the curtain and poked my head out. it was cold and dark outside, the stars were twinkling light to my room above me. I then looked at them all for a solid minute until i took a deep breath and interally cried. i interally cried with joy because i was alive and nothing was more beautiful than the lives of people around me. remember, if you ever feel alone, the sun is lonely, but it still shines for us all.
Rip this is one of the greatest songs of all time
2019 anyone
No-one Just me?
Ok
Me! Lol
Portugal 2019 !

PRESENT!
Steve 2010 no me 2
Am here
Such a beautiful lyrics!!!
The best version hands down.
I was searching for this version because it disappeared for some reason... in the end autoplay has saved me.. thanks.
Just incase you lost this song again, may it be found with grace
It is in fact the most beautiful song, music and words that I´ve heard so far. I will also remember to let my children know my musical preference for the day they will deliver me from earth.
a great voice, that's all...i love this voice so much.
can cry....its very moving voice..
The fucking "wow" at the end, laughin my ass off.
+Rin Lover 2015 we always have to mention the f word dont we
Imran Haider It's a word, I used it. I'd say passive aggressiveness is just as bad if not worse than a simple word.
+Rin Lover 2015 i would, however disagree :)
Imran Haider There isn't really much to disagree or agree on here. Foul emotions towards a person being worse than a word not being used towards a person, pretty much a solid fact if you have a good moral standing.
+Rin Lover 2015 well if you love fucking then it's a whole new thing
Man this song is so beautiful
But I just keep thinking of shrek
Shrek thinks about you too
@@guillermodominguezdelafuen2730 for some reason that sounds creepy
Serously, this song is for taking off other troubles.

How beautiful this song is and so sad. You can actually feel his broken heart.

Pure Joy listening this amazing song
Apart from disliking all form of religion, I dont like to disturb others faith. This song in particular, reminds me of goodness. Just cause of music, nothing more nothing less.

Oof
Unlucky
I love this song
Just watched the justice league trailer and now I’m here 😊
It's an amazing song😢hallelujah
This is not about a couple having sex. This is explaining the biblical account of king David.
VideoGame Addict237 Here is the best interpretation of the song I've read. Leonard Cohen, reportedly, wrote 80 verses of Hallelujah before recording it.
Interpreted by : Francis O'Brien
**Many times Cohen says hallelujah in many different contexts; this is the core of the song and will be explained at the end of the analysis.
For the first part:
Now 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
This relates to the story of King David who was had an intimate relation with god and was also a great harp player (secret cord/pleased the lord). The hallelujah at the end of this verse is a happy and spiritual one.
Second part:
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
In this part Cohen relates to the story of David and Bathsheba when David was walking on the roofs he saw her bathing and seduced her ending up committing adultery and lost a lot of influence and weakened his link with god (broken throne). Then we move to the story of Samson who gets his hair cut and loses all his powers, once again, a broken throne. In this verse, the hallelujah is a very sad and desperate one.
Third Part:
Baby 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
In this part Cohen talks about the ambivalence of love and its effect on your faith. It can be glorious like a flag on a marble arch or it can be cold and broken. And when in heart break you may lose or strengthen your faith, in this case it is strengthened because he still praises the lord in the end. In this case, the hallelujah is (obviously) cold and broken.
Fourth Part:
There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
This is an obvious reference to sexuality and that even through an act as disgraceful as sex you can still praise the lord. In this verse the hallelujah can be interpreted as an “orgasmic” one.
Fifth Part:
You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
This is a reference to one of the ten commandments and through this Cohen is trying to make the listener understand that religion and faith is not etched in stone and that every one should interpret the holy texts and religion in his own way and that there is no “Right Way” to believe. This is an uncertain hallelujah, meaning that he is not sure what to believe but he believes anyway.
Sixth Part:
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
In this part, he has found what to believe in and realizes his past errors but he is ready to face the lord because he now has complete faith. This hallelujah is one of total faith and love for “the lord”.
Hallelujahs:
The song revolves around the word Hallelujah, which is a Hebrew word which means praise Yah/Jah or the Lord. And through the song, he says that all Hallelujahs are of equal value no matter the circumstance or the cause of the act. Weather it is in complete blissful faith or is from broken desperation, all ways and goals to prise the lord mean the same and are all equal.
VideoGame Addict237 So many artists have recorded this song -- hundreds. There are many different versions. Personally, I like Rufus Wainwright's version the best. But, like most, he changes some of the lyrics.
He did. I think his version is probably the most well known and loved. It's beautiful. The only thing that bugs me is people credit him with writing it, which he didn't. But, that's just me :)
Eric Kim i think it means something different to everyone
The original song by Leonard Cohen was about biblical stories (King David and Bathsheba. Samson and Delilah). But music being a form of art, the meaning of a song solely depends on the artist's interpretation. If Jeff Buckley's interpretation was that it's about "a couple having sex", then it's about "a couple having sex"
I think it was fine spelling. this is one of my favorite songs👍👍👍👍💝💝
3:07-3:22. I get chills everytime.
The Jeff Buckley version is everything.
peccato non sapere l'inglese. ...musiche notevoli ed emozioni a mille. grazie
Splendide !!!! 👍💕👍💕✌
I love this
This song will make you cry
"WOW"
Sans doute la meilleure version ...
Love it😘😘
The words in this beautiful song, remind me that my husband and I have been truly blessed xxx
Reminds me of a Robert Pattinson song. Always loved this one. First time hearing this version
Getting massive Finch vibes from this, if there's any "All The Bright Places" fans
Wunderbar.....
Blessings on this day🙏🏻😎
its not somebody whos seen the light its a cold and its a broken hallelujah 😢
Does no one listening to this understand that it's an ironic interpretation of David's where he does what he wants "in the name of god"
Amazing Jeff 🙏❤️🙏❤️😭❤️🙏❤️🙏
It feels good
After Snyder cut Hallelujah is the new sensation....🔥
R.I.P Jeff Buckley
No further words needed
😎✨✨✨ so good
He sing this song from his heart
R.I.P Jeff 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
What's the name of this version? The only one I can find on Spotify doesn't have this guitar intro, which is what makes it for me.
Great
Awesome
I love. 😘😘😘
