一天从朋友那里偶然听到了这首歌，和以前无数次听到好听的歌的时候一样，一遍一遍得听总是挺不腻，而且越听越好听闭上眼睛，感受Jeff Buckley特别Man的声音唱那么温柔的歌，感觉心里有东西要流出来，这里跟大家分享

Ps:  Hallelujah

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?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

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 a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.......
                                                   

这首歌被The lord of the war;Shrek以及一些电视剧当作插曲，由此可见Jeff Buckley这首作品的感人之处

          歌曲中的故事

现场版本的Hallelujah歌词几乎是处处依托圣经故事的。比如在第一段歌词中提到的David。David，大卫，牧羊人出身，但容貌俊美，英勇善战，能赋能歌，战胜巨人哥利亚，被上帝选为以色列的国王。在大卫当国王的时候，一日傍晚，在阳台闲逛时偶然发现一貌美女子正在沐浴（Hallelujah 歌词中的 You saw her bathing on the roof / Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you），娇媚性感的曲线加上柔和迷人的月光将大卫彻底吸引住。之后，大卫便派人四处打听此女子，想要知道她的芳名。原来，这个迷人的女子名叫Bethsheba（拔示巴），是大卫的一位部将Uriah（乌利亚）的妻子。大卫忍受不住占有拔示巴的欲望，终于让人将拔示巴接入宫中，与其同房。不久，拔示巴怀上了大卫的孩子，大卫恐慌万分，急忙召回远在前线的乌利亚，借口让其休整一下，意图让乌利亚回到家中与妻子同房以掩盖拔示巴肚中孩子的亲缘归属。但是，乌利亚是一位忠于职守为国尽忠的勇士，他对大卫说：“国家处于危机，我怎有心思回家与妻子相欢，溺于安享。”乌利亚要求大卫将自己重新派回到战场上。大卫此时便顺水推舟，并写成密信一封，让乌利亚携信到大将军约亚那里；信中大卫指示约亚将乌利亚派往最为危险的战场。于是，乌利亚就在大卫的密谋和意愿下战死沙场，而大卫则将拔示巴迎进自己的后宫，名正言顺的占有了拔示巴。然而，占有拔示巴的大卫并不快乐，他白天对着众人强颜欢笑，夜晚就成为自己罪过的奴隶，受尽折磨。大卫认识到自己的罪行，写下五十一篇忏悔书，歌与上帝，祈求宽恕（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?）。 歌曲中的另一个故事 She tied you To a kitchen chair / She broke your throne, and she cut your hair 这个场景虽然在大卫犯奸淫罪的过程中也有相似发生，但如果用 Samson（参孙）和 Delilah（达利拉）的故事来解释则更为贴切。以色列在被非力士人统治的时候，族中有个大力士，名叫参孙，上帝赐予他空手撕裂雄狮的神力，这使得非力士统治者颇为惧怕，但是，参孙有个弱点：上帝与其约定——不得剪发，如是，则神力尽失。参孙爱上了一位非力士族的姑娘，名叫达利拉。非力士统治者赐予达利拉许多钱财，命令她与参孙相好并套出他为何力大无穷的秘密。参孙在达利拉的三次诱惑下以编造的故事将其蒙混，但是最后参孙还是将自己的秘密告诉的达利拉。一日，达利拉趁安抚参孙熟睡于自己的膝上时，让人将参孙的头发剪掉了。参孙醒来，发现自己的头发被剪，神力也一并消失了。可怜的参孙在爱情的迷惑下，违背了与神定下的誓言，从一个英勇的大力士变成了一个人人欺辱的瞎子。
