    Lyrics:
    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 you?
    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 ya
    She tied you toher kitchen chair
    She broke your throne and she cut your hair
    And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

    My son was 38 when he introduced me to Jeff Buckley's beautiful rendition of Hallelujah. He told me of how Buckley passed and how it made him feel. Three months later he died in a terrible accident in much the same way. I come here occasionally to remember him.

      The hardest thing I had to deal with was losing my baby brother, who also took his own life. Took at least 3 years to have some kind of feeling of “normal” again. The ironic part is that it teaches you how powerful and deep your love for a brother can be, after they are gone from your life...

I'm 36, will be 37 in a few months and I just had my first child in October, a beautiful boy and he has changed my life forever 💙 I have finally found my purpose in life in becoming a mother. I can't imagine my life ending at the tender age of 28 (I was halfway through an active addiction to very hard drugs)
      I offer you my deepest sympathies and prayers 🙏 ❤️
      Stay strong, your daughter is next to you at every moment. 🤗 God bless you 🙏

    I had just been transferred from the icu to cancer floor, the sun was streaming though the curtains and I put on the ipod my brother loaned me. This song came on and I felt like I had been given a second chance. I cried tears of joy. I was 25 then.
    I'm 40 (and cancer free) now and still cry every time I hear this song.

    My Dad died tonight from cancer stage 4 prostate cancer. In 2022 i spent the whole year in and out of the hospital from liver failure. He would pick me up off the ground and wait for the ambulance to come. Towards the end i would get so swollen they would take 13 liters out of my stomach, and i would be screaming for days in pain. Two weeks ago the camcer entered his liver, and he started getting swollen like i would. Now, i picked him off the ground, and held his head up for the ambulance. Now, he was going through the same pain, and he told me he couldn't take it anymore. Just like i used to tell him, but i got a liver transplant on 12/7/2022. I thought God would come with a last minute miracle for him too. But, the camcer was too much. I'm so happy he's no longer in pain. But, now i know what a cold and broken Hallelujah really is. Hallelujah.

      Sometimes angels speak to us through the meaning of pain and love. I hope no pain is without reason. One day I I hope to understand what God was saying to me in hindsight. Looking back we find meaning and looking forward is the gift that the pain here obtained for us. I'm struggling with belief in any source of love in the Universe. Maybe the answers are after death and not before it.

    Whomever needs to hear this: You are beloved. What a weird yet fantastic life we live! Somebody, somewhere is better off having known you.
    Life is a tenuous string that we have little to no control of. If you have listened to this heavenly rendition then your life has been worth something.
    Jeff was utterly unique and brilliant. Listen to music and turn it up LOUD. Kiss your partner, tell your siblings and parents that you love them. We are only here for an annoyingly short space of time - it's important that you tell them all how you feel.
    I wish you all good fortune and that you continue to listen to top-drawer music like this for the rest of your lives. Educate your children with these immaculately beautiful songs.
    Peace and love ❤

Please do not take them from granted. Ever.
    I miss you, Jeff, you'll never be forgotten. By millions.

    In an interview with Jeff in 1994, which sheds light on what truly influenced him musically, he says: "Words are really beautiful, but they’re limited. Words are very male, very structured. But the voice is the netherworld, the darkness, where there’s nothing to hang onto. The voice comes from a part of you that just knows and expresses and is. I need to inhabit every bit of lyric, or else I can’t bring the song to you-or else it’s just words.’”

    Fighting cancer so I can stick around for my 5 kiddos. After every treatment when I feel like I have no more fight left in my tired pain racked body, when all I can do is lay and my soul aches for release…I play this song again and again until it leads me back to my inner strength. And I keep fighting. Love is not a victory march, sometimes it is fucking HARD, sometimes it’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah.

    My wife was pregnant with our twin girls and during all the pregnancy there were many doubts about the health of the babies. At 36 weeks, after 2 days in the hospital, at midnight, my wife gave birth to 2 perfect babies. The day after I was with them in the hospital all day, barely went to the bathroom, didn't even eat. At night when I got in the car to go home this was the music playing, had to stop the car at the side of the road and cry my heart out...

      🥹 damn. That’s exactly! What happened to me. We’ll sort of, my wife was in labor and I just got off at work at 1am and drove to the hospital with my earphones in, the wired ones 😂 and this song came on my shuffle as I ran so goddamn fast from the parking lot to the room. The nurses just said go go go follow the screams 😂. And walked in there and bam baby girl came out. It was like a freaking movie scene to me. I never ran so damn fast in my life. Hope those kids bring joy in life my friend.

      You get to put away the stoicism, the macho personality, the bravado, and you allow yourself to purge, as you stated so eloquently. You stop posing, pretending everything is alright, for just a few hours. And it gives you strength, a renewed purpose perhaps, to push through another stretch. And for anyone that's quick to judge, it's no different than reaching for a bottle, or trying to find solace at the bottom of a baggie, prescription vial, romantic partner, etc. 2020 will forever be engraved in our memories for obvious, painful reasons, but for some, this was just another shyte fuckin' year. Peace and strength be within you all.

    For all my youngsters reading please listen. I've searched for years to be able to explain the feelings of watching yourself and someone else fall in love. From the mesmerizing beginning to the learning of each other's ways to the small debates becoming larger arguments to slowly watching the person that means more to you than the world itself fall out of love with you. A pain you can't sleep off, a hurt that never goes away, a pit that no matter what you put in it it never fills. This song......my God this song. This song along with Jeff's breath taking performance is the closest you can get to experience without experience. I come here to cry. Don't be me. Live, love, hold on, and cherish. This world today makes fuckin up seem cool. It's not. It'll just make you another fool coming to this song to cry

This song was what allowed her to find peace in the fact that her illness was terminal and helped through hospice and gave her comfort in knowing that was no reason to fear death. I listen to it when I want to feel close to her. She was and still is my soul and my center. I love you forever and always Selene.

    I heard there was a secret chord
    That David played, and it pleased the Lord
    But you don't really care for music, do you?
    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
    She broke your throne and she cut your hair
    And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Baby, I've been here before
    I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
    You know, I used to live alone before I knew you
    And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
    And 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?
    But remember, when I moved in you
    And the holy dove was moving too
    And every breath, we drew was Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Maybe there's a God above
    But, all I've ever learned from love
    Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you?
    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

    This was the first version that I heard. I have since heard Leonard Cohen and Queen. Jeff Buckley still gives me the chills. Thank you, RIP bro.

    This was the song my mom played for me when I came to after a suicide attempt, and she told me "please don't make me play this again". Love her, and to everyone out there, it may be cliche but it truly does get better

    Why are people in the comments complaining about being religious or being an atheist. I am agnostic meaning I am 50/50 on believing God/gods. Why can't everyone respect each other's beliefs and get past the stage where everything one person thinks has to be true. No matter what religion you are as long as you aren't hurting anyone else I will respect your beliefs and I'm 14 so obviously if I am mature enough to respect beliefs most people in the comments should be.

      Being agnostic doesn't mean you half believe half don't believe. It means you are skeptical until given solid proof of the existence of a god or other deity.

    • @ghosthunter184

      Cian Beale It means you're willing to accept either side but neither side have provided sufficient evidence. In a sense it basically accuses both camps of the exact same thing, so our young friend has had a pretty intelligent insight. It might be an over simplification but don't stamp out the brilliant youth's perspective, there aren't many of them contributing much in the way of structured conversation
      peace

      Whenever someone thinks a good song is religious the agnostic and atheists always freak out because they have this snobbish notion that all religious people are dumb. Serious shut up.

    I used to sing this to my son when he was just a baby in my arms he would curl up in the crook of my arm look and look up to me while I sang this to him. It was the most peaceful moment in my entire life. It was then I realized my life wasn't a waste, that I would do whatever It took to keep going, if only just for him .
