    ***Halleluja Lyrics***
    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...

      Could not agree more. All these polished and produced versions don't come
      close to this. These two captured the essence of the lyrics sitting in a dirty
      stairway. I'll bet Cohen would agree.

    How did this kind of beauty come about without a million dollar sound studio, a hundred piece orchestra or a backup chorus? How did it happen in a stairwell, with a guy on an electric guitar, a microphone and a young woman? It happened because of raw talent! I find this performance just as beautiful today as I did when I first heard it four years ago! It was a treat to hear it again!!!

      @@dawncanbegrumpyinthemornin1408 oh don`t bring religion into it, this was not meant to be a religious song, in fact there are many different explanations as to what Cohen meant. The bible is mentioned but it is not a song about praising a god, it just uses the word that in Hebrew means praise god but even that word is being used a s a personal ending, good or bad. It most certainly is not an uplifting tribute to a lord of any kind.

      I would still turn him down at least Half. Accompaniment should support the soloist. Maybe hardly notice, except would be so dull without it. It is so easy to turn up an amplifier compared to learning music. Notice guitar is the same wheater with Her or he is solo. Learn to soften with her and it up for his solos.

    So much has already been said about this young woman's beautiful, clear, and awesome voice (and all righteously deserved) that I feel some other aspects should also be given their due. 1) The sparseness of the accompaniment is brilliant. Yes, the playing is wonderful but the choice of this arrangement is fantastic as it compliments the loneliness and angst of the song. 2) The passion and heart that goes beyond the mere beautiful gift of her voice reaches into my heart and shakes my soul. 3) What a great location! The acoustics of that stairwell worked perfectly.
