"Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen - Adam Pearce (Acoustic Cover)

Музыка

First of all, thanks to Shrek and ‪@rufuswainwright‬ for introducing me to this song!
Secondly, although I threw a bit of my own flair on this, I'm mostly influenced by the ‪@jeffbuckleymusic‬ version. ‪@PTXofficial‬ also has a great version. Hell, there are dozens of amazing covers of this tune out there, and I'd love to hear your recommendations in the comments.
We'll get back to rock n' roll next week. Promise! Until then, hope you enjoy!

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
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 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
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
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 you
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 you?
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
Maybe there's a God above
But, all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you?
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

    Your performance makes me second guess every love ive ever lost, and whether it was ever love at all. So much torment, and pain. Great job!

    Try these words I wrote to this song… Hallelujah… Glory To God Sung to the song “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen Verse 1 In Bethlehem long ago After Your birth the story’s told The Magi were the first to bring gifts to Ya They had to travel long and far By following the brightest star That led them to their Savior Hallelujah Verse 2 Not long after You where born In a dream Joseph was warned That You would have to flee Before they knew Ya Were the One the prophets said Who'd save us all through Your death And be our King forever Hallelujah Verse 3 In the Temple courts at 12 years old You stayed after the festival To ask the teachers questions that You knew of They were surprised at what You said Your mother Mary was scared to death In Your Fathers house they found You Hallelujah Verse 4 Now You grew up became a man You understood Your Fathers plan So You set out to tell the world the truth of How God's kingdom is at hand We must repent from our sin Turn and follow You Hallelujah Verse 5 You chose twelve to follow You Taught them how to share Gods truth You showed them that the power of God flows through Ya You turned the water into wine You healed the lame the deaf the blind Raised Lazarus from the dead Hallelujah Verse 6 The Pharisees who knew the law Couldn't stand to hear You talk Because You would rebuke them with the truth of How You'd destroy the temple and In three days rebuild again But they didn't have a clue Hallelujah Verse 7 At Your last supper You were betrayed You gave him bread said don't delay Do quickly what the devil has done through ya Later in the garden he Gave You a kiss on the cheek He sealed God's will for You Hallelujah Verse 8 They seized You Lord took You away They had a trial to seal Your fate They begged Pontious Pilate just to kill Ya He ordered Lord to have You flogged But still he felt he would be mobbed So he let them crucify You Hallelujah Verse 9 The soldiers treated You with scorn They mocked You with a crown of thorns They placed it on Your head after they beat Ya Then they nailed You to a tree They pierced Your hands They pierced Your feet They watched You hang and bleed Hallelujah Verse 10 You cried out Father on that tree Why have You forsaken Me You even told Your Father to forgive us It is finished was Your final say The veil was torn the earth it quaked Our ransom had been paid Hallelujah Verse 11 In Joseph's tomb You were laid The stone rolled open in three days Mary was the first of all to see Ya She went to tell them You're alive She seen her Lord with her own eyes You conquered death forever Hallelujah Verse 12 The world has changed but You have not Your still the greatest gift from God I'm grateful that God sent You here to save us Lord, You're not just a gift You are alive, You breathe You live You're the gift that keeps on giving Hallelujah Chorus Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Glory to God
