Ξέρω πως οι περισσότεροι είναι κολλημένοι με τον (νομπελίστα πια) Ντίλαν, αλλά για μένα ο Λέοναρντ Κοέν, που έφυγε χθες, ήταν ο μεγαλύτερος τροβαδούρος της γενιάς τους. Σκέφτηκα εδώ να βάλω το Famous Blue Raincoat, ως αποχαιρετισμό, όμως άλλαξα γνώμη. Γιατί τα τραγούδια, όπως και τα βιβλία, οι ταινίες, οι πίνακες ζωγραφικής, είναι σκυτάλες. Κάποιος τα δημιουργεί για να τα πάρουν άλλοι και να τρέξουν μ' αυτά. Κι έτσι βάζω το Hallelujah, του Κοέν, σε ερμηνεία της K.D. Lang. Είναι μία από τις σημαντικότερες ερμηνείες που έχω ακούσει ποτέ.
Ακολουθούν οι στίχοι, και το link στο YouTube:
"Hallelujah"

"Hallelujah"
Well I heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
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
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
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
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to her kitchen chair
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well 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 ya
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
I used to live alone before I knew ya
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
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?
And remember when I moved in you?
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you?
And remember when I moved in you?
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well maybe there's a god above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who'd out drew ya
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
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who'd out drew ya
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
