    As beautiful as this composition is for the listener, I believe Cohen must have created this for the performer......No matter the performing discipline, everyone who renders this creates something uniquely better than what they are capable of with a different piece.
    It can't be just me......This is truly just that special......... Thank you Leonard..... R.I.P.

    One of the most beautiful melodies that I heard played in the most beautiful of musical instruments, the classical guitar. The magic begins when two musicians played it with a beautiful interpretation and arrangement.

    Besides the MARVELOUS composition and performance, I especially like how beautifully it seems as if the melody and chorus change from one guitar to the other and back. I don't know the right terms for it, but you can guess what I mean, right? And I don't know if it's really happening or just in my mind, but it adds sugar to the already amazing cake!

    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 ya
    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
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
