Now maybe there's a God above So then the girl broke my thown and cut my hair, wich means she made me lose all my repairs, made me feel lost. It's quite simple. He has seen the glorious side of love (the flag on the marble arch), but the love is not lasting and his hart is broken, therefore the Hallelujah is cold and broken. So the second part explains what a realisation can do with you, the ego is not anymore on the driving seat but something different and more powerful. This is my interpretation. And from your lips she drew the hallelujah “It’s not a cry (Uriah’s) you can hear at night.” Or cry of “somebody (David) who’s seen the light (God’s grace. The Old Testament texts firmly indicate that the husband was not aware of the affair, but Cohen assumably wrote his verses that Uriah knew “what’s really going on below.” So based on his creative freedom, Uriah was a broken & betrayed lover, husband & soldier. First, the combination of "flag" "love" and "victory march" makes me obviously think about the gay pride. In the end it is worth it. I think it speaks of the point that love betrays and not every hallelujah comes from a happy and joyful heart, but it can also come from a place of hurt and betrayal. The fifth it that we never really accept life as it is and when things comes close or hurt we push it away. Post a comment. There are many versions of this song. This song is about self realisation, peak experience, spiritual awakening whatever you like to call it. var opts = { The song saw a sales spike following the death of Leonard Cohen in November 2016, sending his original version to #59 on the Hot 100, Cohen's debut Hot 100 appearance as an artist. Perhaps Cohen was projecting his own love life at the time. div_id: "cf_async_" + Math.floor((Math.random() * 999999999)) She broke your throne and she cut your hair I don't even know the name (Jews typically avoid mentioning God’s name.) References to God and the bible just parts of his comparisons to what he has been thru from the beginning of the relationship to the end. JUST CLICK ON THE TITLE OF THE SONG YOU WISH TO HEAR. As for me all I learned from love It was a "victory flag" raised by a soldier's wife hoping for her husband's safe return, or welcome sign from a victorious war. )” Cohen says it doesn’t matter whose hallelujah it is. Remarkably, his revved-up crowds became extremely silent. My own take on the interpretation of the lyrics is “reconcile the irreconcilable”, as love and life are supposed to be good and even perfect, but in reality they are surely anything but that. If I wrote this and had to explain, I'd say; I remember the beginning of our love relationship, everything seems great and I thought we trusted each other. Ann Peebles' "I Can't Stand The Rain" originated from a comment made by the singer to her husband, Don Bryant, when they were preparing to head out to a blues show and it began tipping down with rain. For the latest comment, that's great, you were able to watch the special tonight and heard both of their voices and have a better understanding. That David played and it pleased the Lord I believe the version he performed during his 2008 tour (maybe still does) is the most logical (complete): Verse 1: 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? I can relate to the stages he describes in each verse. And remember when I moved in you The holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah He remembers when things were good, how their lovemaking made him feel like they were really together, and their Hallelujahs were those of joy and ecstasy.
