Para apreciar de olhos fechados... Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

Há músicas que pela sua beleza nos deixam algures... Dificilmente conseguimos escrever aquilo que sentimos, pelo que nos resta fechar os olhos, ouvir e... voar. A beleza também se transmite pela música, assim como o sentimento...

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
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

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

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

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 in the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah  (held for a long time)
Hallelujah

PS: Conheço "n" versões desta música e cada uma tem o seu toque especial... Seja o Leonard Cohen (Versão Original), o Rufus Wainwright (que já tive o privilégio de ver ao vivo), o Damien Rice (com o seu irish accent) ou muitos outros que a tocam, entre os quais o Jeff Buckley que decidiu "partir" cedo de mais com todo o seu talento...
PS1: Tive de trocar o vídeo que havia postado aqui inicialmente, podem ver o outro aqui
